Consider the open-source Mythling app for FireTV:<br class="">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Donald-Oakes-Mythling/dp/B00T85XL86" class="">https://www.amazon.com/Donald-Oakes-Mythling/dp/B00T85XL86</a><br class="">
<br class="">
Mythling can stream mpeg2 or h.264 recordings/videos.<br class="">

So I had some time to play with this on my FIreTV. I used the link on Amazon that you included and with one click was able to send it to my FIreTV stick. So the first time I turned on the TV with the FIreTV Mythling was there. When I use it to play MPEG2
TV recorded from a HDHomeRun Connect tuner, the video skips over high motion portions. I added a job script to do mpeg2 to h.264 transcode (<a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_Mpeg2_to_H264" class="">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_Mpeg2_to_H264</a>)
and those files play as expected.</div>

</div>
<div>So it looks like if you want HD TV recordings to play normally on a FireTV you need to transcode them to h.264.</div>
