You can change things like aspect ratio, brightness, volume directly from the app itself during video playback. In case a video file has multi-track audio and subtitles, you get to choose your preferred audio track and subtitle too.

It has a built-in file browser, which you can use to play files from your PC over Wi-Fi or LAN. The Fire TV port of VLC is packed with as many features as its counterparts on other platforms. VLC for Fire App is available on the Amazon App Store for Fire TV devices. In case you want to play a corrupted video or audio file, VLC can also do it. Entry-level streaming devices like Amazon’s Firestick can deliver smooth and stutter-free HQ video playback with VLC. Whether it is a low-powered chipset or a powerful processor, the hardware decoder used by VLC can scale on a vast range of hardware. The VLC media player has made quite a reputation among streaming enthusiasts because of its exceptional modularity and hardware compatibility. I started off using VLC on a firestick ages ago - I've learned better now - KODI is the way to go on a firestick but on a PC VLC is still excellent.It supports all the major video and audio formats and enforces several streaming protocols for IPTV.

You need also initially to set the firestick into 'developer mode' so it can sideload apps -it's an android device so easy enough to load apps. The only disadvantage with Kodi is that it takes a bit of setting up - but with a judicious bit of 'RTFM' it will all work. VLC great for computers but on a firestick it's a DOG !!!! Set the security option to SMB1 if you want to play media from your LAN and particularly with older NAS systems you might need SMB1. Then simply add into KODI (it's simple) the subtitle servers you want - I use but there's loads of others - have 1 or more if you like.

Install KODI it's really good on the firestick (you don't need any server software on your remote PC / server) and it plays every codec imagineable - both audio and video. I've given up with VLC on the firestick these days as it's become too 'Hassly' when trying to browse your LAN, the displays are hideous and it's not like the version on a computer. What is the exact VLC app Version we should use on the Amazon Fire TV box?Hi kalpakci
