Play local music with Fire TV

Amazon Fire TV Stick allows you to play locally stored music. You can use VLC for Fire or Kodi to play any music you have stored and accessible on your home network. For this to work, you will obviously need your audio to be accessible through your network on a shared folder. The rest is easy.

Check whether your Fire TV or stick has USB connections, allowing you to play music and videos directly from a hard drive. Amazon Fire TV Stick also supports play media from external storage. The 2nd-gen Fire TV can access videos from its microSD slot or its USB port. The 1st-gen Fire TV can only access videos from its USB port, because it does not have a microSD card slot. The 2nd-gen Fire TV Stick only has a single micro USB port, but you can use it to access videos stored on a USB drive if you use a USB OTG cable . The 1st-gen Fire TV Stick does not support media playback from external drives, even if you use an OTG USB cable.
