Thanks for @GeorgefromLightbox I've sideloaded the APK onto my Amazon Fire Stick. For some additional background see this thread.

Here's some feedback

Good

• Overall look/feel of app
• Performance
• Lack of skipping/pausing due to buffering.

Average

• Video Quality

   

  • Even in HQ mode it isn't as good as viewing via Google Chrome full screen on same display.
  • Showed up with the dark scenes in episode 9 of The Handmaids Tale.
• Layout once a show is selected makes it hard to see the individual episodes.

Poor

• Accessibility with Remote

   

  • Needed to use keyboard and/or mouse to navigate
  • Currently not possible to use the following without a mouse

     

    • Enter settings
    • Select a show
    • Start a show
    • FFWD/RWND/Pause
• Video streams appear to be in 60p.

   

  • Had really bad motion blur with device set to 50Hz refresh compared with 60.

Bad

• Once I'm playing a video I can't bring up the overlay for pause / forward / rewind via mouse/keyboard or remote.
• Only way to pause video is back/exit and then restart the video stream.

Recommendations

• Update API / SDK to support remote control based access.
• Adjust display for better layout on 720 and 1080 displays.

   

  • Would allow for better browsing of shows and episodes.

I'd be more than happy to try out alternative builds. This really is the show stopper for wider use of Lightbox by the family as we'd rather not use a browser to access it on our primary TV.
