Id suggest the stick.
Found a nice way to open YouTube videos. Use the Alexa way to voice search whatever you want. Then, click the button which has 3 lines on the remote. This opens up a dialogue similar to "open with" and then you select YouTube. Somehow this worked well for me.

Since you can use your browser to play any video from Amazon prime it can be used on almost any platform, browser and operating system.

Re: Amazon Prime Video in India!

Watched "Made in Heaven" over the weekend

For a non-hind movie person, this was a very well made serial

Re: Amazon Prime Video in India!

I didn't know about the fire sticks Bluetooth connectivity for sound. I was about to splurge for a soundbar, but decided to see if the devices under Bluetooth in settings could detect my Sony boombox.
It can. So my sound issues are completely sorted. Presumably headphones will work too.

Yep. Works a treat at night, when you can pair your favorite Bluetooth headsets so that you do not have to wake up your family members.

Re: JioCinema App Unavailable on Fire Stick?

Why, when I try to download 'JioCinema' app says 'Unavailable' on my Amazon Fire Stick?

Offcourse, You can. I had been doing this for several months.

You just need a amazon account for registration. Prime is NOT necessary.

Re: Amazon Prime Video in India!

I noticed a strange thing on Prime. My wife's Prime account that is set on 1 TV, allowed us to watch a Spanish show called 'el juegos de las llaves'.
Now when recommended to friends, all say the show is shown, but only the trailer can be seen, episodes are unviewable.

How does this happen? And all has been checked in settings like, content restrictions, languages, region, etc.
P.S. The same show can't be seen from my Prime account too.

Re: Amazon Prime Video in India!

I've read somewhere that Amazon and Google have put an end to their bickering for now, meaning Prime video is available on Chromecast. Any info on this?
