Among the TV set-top box market, Apple TV and Amazon Fire are two of the most popular devices. If you are mainly looking for a device for watching either Amazon Prime videos or iTunes movies, you can simply select the relative set-top box. But what should you choose when you like to enjoy videos on TV from both the iTunes and Amazon stores?
Personally, I'd like to get the Amazon Fire for its advantages than Apple TV. But does iTunes work on Amazon Fire? Obviously, it is not built-in with the capability of playing iTunes movies though it supports a lot of other streaming apps like Amazon Prime Video, NetFlix, TED.
Can you get iTunes on Amazon Fire? I solved it well. Here, I will share my successful experience of streaming videos from iTunes on Amazon Fire TV for playback easily.
Amazon Fire comes with lots of powerful features, such as high hardware configuration, quick and immediate response speed, terrific voice search, higher-end Dolby Plus audio and game compatibility. It could be the icing on the cake if we can watch iTunes movies on Amazon Fire Stick.
The first solution to play iTunes movies and TV shows on Fire TV is using AirPlay apps. Nowadays, many third-party developers have created many AirPlay apps. They can turn devices into an AirPlay receiver.
The reflector is such an app, which can be installed on Amazon Fire TV. With it, you can easily stream iTunes videos from your iOS devices. Like the iPhone, iPad, iPod by using the AirPlay feature. But this is not perfect, there is a minor inconvenience to keep the Reflector running on the Amazon Fire TV all the time. And you can't back up the videos to watch any time.
Another ideal solution to do that is to remove FairPlay DRM protection from iTunes videos. DRmare iTunes to Amazon Fire TV Converter is such an iTunes DRM unlocking tool.
It supports all kinds of iTunes purchased/rental DRM videos. You can convert all iTunes videos, including movies, TV shows, music videos with zero quality loss and 30X faster speed. It is a one-time off solution.
After converting, you can get iTunes on Amazon Fire tablets, Amazon Fire Sticks and Amazon Fire TV. All the converted iTunes video episodes will be playable on any HD TVs with Amazon Fire TV boxes and any other devices.
Then you can simply follow these 3 steps to convert your iTunes videos to Fire TV.
Now, it's time to play iTunes videos on Amazon Fire. Unlike Roku and Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV doesn't support to play local videos from USB though it supports USB external storage.
But don't worry, you can stream iTunes videos to Amazon Fire TV via uploading iTunes videos to Amazon Cloud Drive or Kindle Fire Tablet, Plex / Kodi Media Server, etc. The followings are the detailed tutorial on how to use iTunes on Amazon Fire.
