I can confirm this bug has been fixed when you’re not using Better xCloud. But when you use Better xCloud it happens again.
According to the xCloud dev, apparently there is a bug with Chromium 124+ that causes this.
I’m working on a fix.

Xbox is preparing for the help page of xCloud on Fire TV Stick at https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/set-up-cloud-gaming-on-amazon-fire-tv-stick

It’s not live yet though.

xCloud is back (at least for me)

I'm experimenting a new method to fix the laggy video in Better xCloud app on Android TV

Tested on my CCwGTV 4K with DOOM 1993:
- Previous version: struggling even at 720p/Low
- New version: stable at 60FPS + 1080p/High, although the sound still lags behind

So if your Android TV can only play with Kiwi Browser, wait for a few days 😉

✨ New on xCloud: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2

Happy to say that a small code of Better xCloud (which fixes the stuttering stream) has been implemented officially in the xCloud website. The original code is here: github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/blob/typescript/src/utils/sdp.ts

Proud and happy 😁

- Answers about performance of the Android/TV app

- How to improve performance on Android TV

- Always search before asking, on Telegram group, Github repo and on the home page. Most of the time you'll find your answer there.

- If you want to report a bug, share as much as info about your device/setup.

- Device name
- OS version
- Browser or app, name + version
- Country/Region
- Script version
- What did you do? Steps to reproduce?
- Screenshot/video

Saying "it doesn't work" is not useful at all. I don't have time to ask you for more info, again and again. If you don't provide enough info, I'm just gonna ignore it.

I want to spend time on working/coding/playing, not doing boring supporting tasks.

🚀 Android app 0.16.4 is available

Changelogs: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud-android/releases/tag/a0.16.4

- Add General > Force low-latency audio option in App settings (default to OFF). This may fix crashing on some devices.
- Disable the Back button while playing
- Add support for DivestOS Mulch WebView and Thorium WebView.
- Using these WebViews may improve the performance on your device
- Follow this guide to learn how to set it up: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud-android/wiki/Custom-WebView-implementation

Previously when I used Mulch/Thorium WebView on CCwGTV 4k, I got a stable performance at 1080p/High/60FPS. But today when I tried again the stream was stuttering again. I’m still trying to find out why. So this method may or may not improve the performance on your device as I stated few days ago.

As far as I know, the Xbox app on Fire TV isn’t native. It’s only a WebView wrapper for the xbox.com/play website. So in theory, if xCloud works in the Xbox app, it should work with the Better xCloud app too (better-xcloud.github.io/android).

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale at $35: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BP9SNVH9/
Other Fire TV devices are on sale too.
I’ll personally use my own money to buy it and test + develop Better xCloud for it.

I wrote some answers about the performance of the Android app here. Take some time to read it and hopefully no one will ask me these questions ever again: https://better-xcloud.github.io/android/#faq
