Amazon Fire TV uses MRSS feeds to pull videos, metadata, and thumbnails into Fire TV channels automatically. The system periodically crawls submitted feed URLs to identify new or updated content.
What Fire TV Requires in an MRSS Feed
Each feed entry must include: title, description, duration, orientation, publish date, country and language codes, ratings, image URLs, media URLs, closed caption references, and availability dates.
How to Create a Fire TV MRSS Feed in VideoNest
- Upload or Sync Content: Add videos directly or integrate from existing libraries (YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, S3)
- Add Fire TV Metadata: Complete required fields including rating, country/language codes, category, and availability dates
- Navigate to Media → Feeds: Access the feeds section in your VideoNest dashboard
- Select Amazon Fire Feed Type: Choose the correct MRSS schema for Amazon's system
- Configure Feed Options: Set resolution (1080p minimum), video duration parameters, and enable AI metadata enhancements
VideoNest generates an automatic feed URL (e.g., https://feeds.videonest.co/[channel-name]/firetv.xml) that updates whenever new videos are added or metadata changes, keeping your Fire TV channel current without manual intervention.
