Set up Fire TV today
Fire TV is currently supported through a browser-compatible path; Fire OS and Vega require separate native work before native-store claims.
What you may be seeing
- You want to run Canvas Relay on a Fire TV Stick now.
- You are unsure whether the current setup is a native Amazon Appstore app or a browser player.
What usually causes it
- The supported current route is the browser player, commonly through Amazon Silk on Fire OS devices.
- Amazon now has both Fire OS and Vega OS device families, so a future native implementation cannot be represented by one Android APK claim.
Do this
- On a Fire OS device, install/open Amazon Silk (or another capable browser available on that device) and go to player.canvasrelay.app.
- Use the six-digit code shown by the player in Screens → Add screen, then name the screen and assign a board.
- Publish the board and confirm the complete release reaches the device before relying on it unattended.
- Test the exact Fire TV model for browser suspension, sleep, restart, and power behavior. Reopen the player if the OS closes the browser.
- If your hardware is a Vega OS model, use only a path that is actually available and tested on that model; do not assume Fire OS APK behavior applies to Vega.
You know it is fixed when
- Screens shows the Fire TV endpoint online, assigned to the intended board, and active on the target release.
- A later publish reaches the TV without re-pairing it.
Worth knowing
- Canvas Relay does not claim a public native Fire TV app until the platform-specific native targets and Store work are complete.
