Seems very strange, that his mates is blocked, but his isn't. Maybe time to shop around.

I don't use Firestick, but I got one for my folks and my sister to use Stremio.
Can anyone confirm if Stremio still works on Firestick post update? I'm preparing myself for the phonecall/message from family that stuff isn't working anymore.

I watched firestick 4k max last night running stremio no problem. Haven't checked for updates. But my sticks used daily. Will let you know if any problems arise, but so far all good 👍

Stremio working this morning 👍

I think if anything untoward had happened. All forums would be alive with news.

VLC can be downloaded from Amazon so why would that disappear ?

You must turn off a new setting on your Firestick Privacy settings.

Go to :

Settings - Preferences - Privacy - Setting - Manage Sharing From Apps.

TURN THIS OFF - otherwise Amazon will know what IPTV apps and other sideloaded apps you are Using.

While you are in the privacy section:
Turn OFF

Apparently they will be going that way with their new operating system in future. I got some good recommendations in here to finally move away from them. I read that flixvision has got malware in it hence why it is actually being blocked.

It was reported on GitHub in January.
