Amazon has recently added a new OS update on Firestick – Fire OS 8 due to which many apps are affected on the Amazon store.
These changes have also affected DotSignage on the latest Fire TV or Firesticks with Fire OS 8 – the major issue being auto-start of app on the device boot up.
Though DotSignage will work with devices using Fire OS 8 but you will face the issue of app auto-start.
Hence the new models with Fire OS 8 are no longer recommended for purchase and use with DotSignage.
Please check out our updated hardware list here.
However, if you already have a Fire OS 8 Amazon device, and you wish to set up DotSignage on your Fire TV or Firesticks, please follow our steps below:
Please take note that the IP address (in bold) above in the example is 192.168.34.1. You need to replace your own IP address here.
Kindly refer How to find the IP address of your Fire TV Stick to find out your IP address.
Following these instructions might be a bit difficult and we understand that part and are working on an easier workaround.
At the moment, there is no other way to enable DotSignage to work like it does with Amazon Firesticks using OS 7 or below.
