The file is transferring to the Amazon Fire TV. When the transfer is completed, you can open the file directly from the application. Your photos in your living room – now see them on your Amazon Fire TV - With every new service that Amazon announces I’m always more and more impressed! Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick are about watching Netflix and Hulu streaming. Devices are also an excellent way to browse the web on you.
The Prime Photos app on the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick has been updated with a new option that allows customers to disable the app altogether. As you would expect, disabling the app prevents it from being launched.
Amazon Fire TV Stick is one of the most popular streaming devices that you can use in India. With the help of Amazon fire stick you can not only watch your favourite shows on several streaming sites like Hotstar, Prime Video, etc., but if you are having a small media server in your home, you can even use the Amazon Fire TV Stick to watch the shows, or listen to music that is stored in that media server. Most people still have their library of movies and songs on the computers and laptops, but watching a movie or TV show is far better on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, as you can control the playback with the help of a handy remote, which is not the case if you do that on your computer or laptop.
But in order to make your Amazon Fire TV Stick be able to play music and videos on a local media server, you need to download a UPnP client, which can help your Amazon Fire TV Stick streaming media contents from your media server. Apart from movies, TV shows, and music, you can even see the slideshow of the photos, which is stored on the media server, which can also be really cool. So today I will talk about, how you can set up the UPnP client on your Amazon Fire TV Stick and access the contents from your media server right onto your Amazon Fire TV Stick.
So, without any further delay, let’s get started with, how you can set up the UPnP client on your Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Accessing local media files on Amazon Fire TV Stick
Even though you can find the number of UPnP apps available for Amazon Fire TV Stick but I recommend you to go for VLC Media Player for obvious reasons.
Step 1: Just search for VLC Media Player in the search bar of the Fire TV Stick or you can even call your personal assistant Alexa to take you to the download page of VLC media player for Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Step 2: After you have downloaded VLC Media Player on your Amazon Fire TV Stick, just open it. Before you open VLC Media Player, make sure that the media server is turned on and is discoverable.
Step 3: Now open the VLC Media Player on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, navigate down unless you find the ‘Browsing’ tab and when you are there, select ‘Local Network’ and open it.
Step 4: You can find all the discoverable media service that is present on your Local network. For me, it is the ‘My media server’. Just navigate to it and open it.
How To Add Photos To Amazon Fire Tv
Here, you can find all the folders to play whatever you want.
You can press the back button multiple times to come back to the home screen of your Amazon Fire TV Stick, or simply tap on the ‘Home’ button for a one-tap solution.
The VLC Media Player is one of the mightiest media players that are available. Besides watching videos on your Local network and listening to music you can even stream online content on the VLC Media Player, which can sometimes be useful if not every time.
Amazon Fire TV Stick does not have its own memory to download media content in an easy way, and thus, VLC Media Player can actually be used for this purpose and that is why you should keep it downloaded and installed on your Amazon Fire TV Stick. This is going to work for you, no matter which Amazon Fire TV Stick device you are using, as long as you have enough space to download it on your Amazon Fire TV Stick.
So, that was all about how you can install the VLC Media Player on your Amazon Fire TV Stick to stream content from your local media server. Do you have any questions? Feel free to comment on the same below.

Are you ready to stroll down memory lane from the convenience of your living room or bedroom? If so, be ready to check out Prime Photos on your Amazon Fire TV!
Amazon Fire TV is not only an awesome product for the accessibility to apps as well as subscription services like Netflix, CBS All Access, and HULU, but it can also bring families together through recalling photo moments with the Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote.
I have been a Prime Member for almost a year now and I love the option to search for people, places and things, as well as play a slideshow through Prime Photos.
These tasks just got a bit simpler since I can do all this using the Prime Photos app on my Amazon Fire TV. As a Prime member, I receive unlimited photo storage, free with Prime. FYI, All Amazon.com customers (including Prime members) receive 5 GB free photo, file, and video storage.
So how does Prime Photos on your Amazon Fire TV work?
Amazon customers can view and search for their photos and photo albums with the Alexa Voice Remote and the Prime Photos app on their Amazon Fire TV. Prime members can also search for people, places, and things, with phrases like, “show photos of dogs,” “show photos of Wyoming,” or “show photos of Jane.” Check out more ways to use this service at Prime Photos Fire TV app.
FYI: Like Amazon Fire TV, the Echo Show can showcase all the photos in your Prime Photos account, with voice commands like, “Alexa, show my photos.” In fact, all the same commands work with Echo Show – just add “Alexa” to the beginning of each one.
We went on a trip to Savannah and St. Augustine back in April and it was so nice to share and relive the experience, I can’t wait to go back after watching the slideshow! I hope your family also enjoys revisiting past moments with Prime Photos on your Amazon Fire TV!
