The VLC Application is definitely one of the best DLNA applications out there, but it is not completely perfect. Below are the top 5 DLNA apps for Amazon Fire TV to help you access your NAS media seamlessly. Think of the network, in basic terms, as being made up of all of the devices that are currently using or are connected to the internet connection in your building (TVs, Laptops, Phones, etc). These are devices that are equipped to make themselves accessible on the shared network of your home or office. The most reliable way to enjoy the media living on your NAS via your Amazon fire TV stick is to use DLNA services, or ‘ Digital Living Network Alliance‘ certified devices.

This method is far from 100-per cent reliable and all too often encounters problems if your network is busy, you wish you fast forward or rewind media frequently, or if your NAS has a dynamic IP it can be lost. The first is to enable internet access to your NAS drive, setup DDNS or cloud type access, and then add that address to supported apps on the fire TV 4K. You can watch the media from your NAS on your fire TV in two ways.
