AMAZON SECURITY UPDATE CAUSES BIG ISSUES FOR DIGITAL SIGNAGE NETWORKS USING FIRE TV DEVICES
admin 2024/03/09 15:50There are numerous digital signage CMS software companies that include Amazon’s low-cost Fire devices among their lists of supported media play-out options, and they’re now dealing with the well-established perils of using consumer-focused devices for commercial purposes.
The e-commerce behemoth recently pushed out a software update to Fire TV streaming devices, and supported televisions, that has disabled the ability for third-party apps to bypass the Fire OS home screen on launch.
From the tech-focused publication Ars Technica:
The tech giant claims that its latest Fire OS update is about security but has refused to detail any potential security concerns.
Users and app developers have reported that numerous apps that used to work with Fire TV devices for years have suddenly stopped working. As first reported by AFTVnews, the update has made apps unable to establish local Android Debug Bridge (ADB) connections and execute ADB commands with Fire TV devices. The update, Fire OS 7.6.6.9, affects several Fire OS-based TVs, including models from TCL, Toshiba, Hisense, and Amazon’s Fire TV Omni QLED Series.
Other devices running the update include Amazon’s first Fire TV Stick 4K Max, the third-generation Fire TV Stick, as well as the third and second-generation Fire TV Cubes and the Fire TV Stick Lite.
