All this aside, the actual control of the media when in use is easily one of the very best you can get! Second, only to KODI, the VLC user interface whilst media is playing is slick, fast, intuitive and utilizes all the controls of the FireStick Remote control (options, play, fast forward, suspend, etc). Against the orange background and against the big icons next to them, can make them hard to read. Additionally, despite the files and folders being big graphics, the left-hand navigation is listed in the text in white. For a start, the user interface is designed around a big, big button interface and if you are spanning libraries where there are many folders or files, the effort to scroll through the lists can be tiresome (as the graphics display that cannot be changed, can only display about 9 things on screen – the average boxset is 12-24 episodes on its own). The VLC Application is definitely one of the best DLNA applications out there, but it is not completely perfect.

Below are the top 5 DLNA apps for Amazon Fire TV to help you access your NAS media seamlessly. Think of the network, in basic terms, as being made up of all of the devices that are currently using or are connected to the internet connection in your building (TVs, Laptops, Phones, etc). These are devices that are equipped to make themselves accessible on the shared network of your home or office. The most reliable way to enjoy the media living on your NAS via your Amazon fire TV stick is to use DLNA services, or ‘ Digital Living Network Alliance‘ certified devices. This method is far from 100-per cent reliable and all too often encounters problems if your network is busy, you wish you fast forward or rewind media frequently, or if your NAS has a dynamic IP it can be lost. The first is to enable internet access to your NAS drive, setup DDNS or cloud type access, and then add that address to supported apps on the fire TV 4K. You can watch the media from your NAS on your fire TV in two ways.
