Product description

MiniVOD lets you stream video podcasts to your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick over the Internet.

With this app and the URL for the RSS feed for your favorite video podcasts, you can now watch videos from those podcasts on your Fire TV. Videos are streamed, rather than downloaded, so not a whole lot of storage space is used on your Fire TV.

The app can be controlled entirely using the Amazon Remote, but if you have paired a wireless keyboard you can use it to enter URLs too. You can also import your existing podcast subscriptions in OPML format into the app using the feed editor.

You can use your Amazon Remote's dedicated buttons, or the on-screen controls, to pause or play the current video, rewind or fast forward, or skip to the previous or next video in the current feed.

Note: Podcasts containing videos the Fire TV can play natively are supported. Podcasts that link to web viewers (e.g. YouTube feeds) are not supported. Audio podcasts are also supported.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Error playing videos

    It was able to read the RSS feed alright, but that is it. When I try to stream the video file in the feed, it just shows an error.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great little app to play podcasts on your TV
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017
    For some reason Amazon hasn't seen fit to make a podcast app for their hardware, and the only other one on here is abandonware. This app is anything but that. I emailed late on a Friday about an issue and got a response 4 hours later early Saturday. This app works great and hopefully will be improved as needed going forward.

    Works great for what it's supposed to do. If it would go to screensaver or the icons had motion or something other than burning the Dan LeBatard Show onto my TV I'd give it 2 more stars

    5.0 out of 5 stars Already One of My Favorite Fire Stick Apps
    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017
    Simple & elegant app that works perfectly with the fire stick remote. While pitched for video, does audio podcasts, too, which was what I was really after. All topped off by a fantastically responsive dev.
