mp4 or dvd rip...I'm trying to play an xbmc extension that plays live network cable channels but some only load in an external browser (i.e, the Woody VLC file extensions). I can get them to play perfectly on an actual pc and/or android tablet but I can't get them to open on the FireTv stick. I'm thinkin' it's more of a hardware issue and the device not being able to open one program while another runs in the background (even if it's suspended as in most android based devices). I'll have it working soon if it's possible, I just haven't devoted an ample amount of time to the task at hand.
