Since the whole point is to help others, I'm elated to hear the scrcpy tip
was useful to you in your efforts. For others, here's the canonical link:
 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>

I mostly post to Windows, which won't be of use to you, but what you
disdain is presumably when I sometimes offer cross-platform advice to all.

Your Linux-to-Fire-TV control pipeline sounds well-designed, and it's good
to know scrcpy behaves reliably even when forwarded over X11. That's a nice
way to validate the slideshow without needing direct access to the device.

I presume what you're doing is running ADB and scrcpy directly on the Linux
box that controls the Fire TV. In that setup, the Fire TV exposes its ADB
interface over TCP (typically on port 5555), so the Linux machine can
connect to it with a straightforward adb connect <fire-tv-ip>:5555 without
going through Android's newer "Wireless debugging" pairing workflow. Once
connected, you launch scrcpy on the Linux box, which mirrors the Fire TV's
display into an X11 window generated on that machine.

From your own workstation, you then SSH into the Linux box using X11
forwarding (ssh -X), which causes the scrcpy GUI window to be rendered
locally even though the program is executing remotely. That means the Linux
box handles all ADB communication with the Fire TV, while your local
machine simply displays the forwarded scrcpy window. Presumably this allows
you to visually verify the signage slideshow running on the Fire TV without
needing physical access to the display or running scrcpy on your own
system.	.
