I have an Amazon Firestick normal not a 4k version, I have a 4k television and my IPTV provider has 4K versions of films.
Do I need a 4K Firestick to play these or will the standard one allow as the TV is 4K? Just not sure if the 4K part of it only applies to native firestick apps rather than an IPTV provider.
Anytime I've tried playing them there is no video and it will freeze so I assume that's the case I just wanted to double check.
Thanks.
To get the full 4k visuals you would need the 4k version. Right now your Firestick has the resolution set to 1080P and that's what everything is being displayed as. However, that is not the reason why you are having issues, the 4k video should still play and just be down converted to 1080P. Your issues stem from something else but not because you are trying to play a 4k video.
