Hello,
I want to ask if anybody has any idea how to activate a console or some sort of debugging tool for the Silk browsers on Kindle Fire HD. I get an error on a website exclusively on Kindle Fire's Silk browsers, and I want to see what the cause is. I've searched the web and tried certain things, but none worked. Also, the suggestions were kind of scarce.
Thanks.
Is there a program/app out there to view the Kindle Fire screen on the PC (not control the PC from Fire, or use the kindle as 2nd monitor. Tons of ways to do that)?
I think this is about as good as you're going to get unless there is a remote desktop that works instead for tablets. I haven't seen anything though.

Hey thanks, didn't know about the android VNC app. This should work, I think. If not closer than I've gotten, so once again thanks.
Edit: Success! Mostly. Firewall on the Fire is blocking the connection even through I allowed "droid VNC server" through, but soon as that's sorted seems to work.
Edit the second: Letting root apps through worked and have to put the Fire into landscape mode so the window on the PC isn't sideways, but works.
I thought the Fire TV was Miracast compliant. Why does mirroring work with my phones but not my laptop?
I can mirror to my Miracast smart TVs with my laptop, but the Fire TV won't even show up in the menus.
Can't say for laptop but does work from my windows 10 tablet to Fire Stick, which should be similar, to a fashion at least.
Work here on Windows 10, not sure if you need to do all this (Or if this is what you want to do?) but I opened up Mirroring on the Fire TV Stick and on Windows 10 via the Notification Panel clicked Project then Duplicate Screen.
I can also cast videos (Right click on the file) I have stored on my HDD, although I couldn't see anyway to set any picture settings for videos so it wasn't optimally sized for my TV.
Before this, Windows 10 automatically did some driver installation as well when connecting to the Fire TV Stick.
I am running Windows 10.
There's nothing to connect or duplicate to when the Fire TV doesn't even show up in the "add wireless display" menu.
It's my first post on here so go easy on me guys
I'm trying to mirror from my TV to my Amazon Fire TV as well as use WIFI-Direct. I've made sure they are both on the same network and the TV picks up the Fire TV. I select connect and it's sending a message to the Fire TV asking permission. After I've selected for it to be approved nothing happens and the Samsung TV in the living room (right on the other side of the wall from the Fire TV) just keeps trying to connect.
Any ideas? I've searched and searched to see what OS my TV is running and I can't find it anywhere, there are quite a few apps available so I'm not sure if its a custom version of Android or not.
I'd greatly appreciate any help or assistance anyone can give me. I've also noticed a network which is available called Direct-3F-FireTV-8b54 but have no idea of a default login or password.
I am able to upload the apps to the fire stick but cannot seem to open them completely. I downloaded the wukong remote app, have a bluetooth keyboard hooked up to my Samsung un65h7150 which seems to have a pretty fast processor and also have the directv tablet app on the stick as well. I can sign in with directv but have great difficulty navigating with fire stick remote and the keyboard as well. I can get as far as highlighting a channel but to open it up never happens- no enter buttons work neither on the wukong 'try now'
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to side-load the app to your phone or tablet, open app and connect to your Firestick IP, once connected It will automatically install the wukong app on your firestick . Once you see the app under your main\apps you are good to go.
Hi thanks I thought it just wasn't completely compatible. I did download the 'appstofire', app from GP, opened it up after I had the wukong and direct tablet already downloaded (from gp) and then opened the appstofire app, selected those apps to upload then got an error to select setup. I then put in my IP and then was able to upload or transfer the wukong and directv apps to the stick. So you're saying they need to be sideloaded instead of how I'm doing it- I did see an app called fire tv stick side load app somewhere on here- I'll try that when I get in- hopefully this works since the 'appstofire' app didn't - thanks for your help :good:
Uninstall sideloaded apps. Go to playstore and download wukong app on your phone\tablet, lunch it and search for your box IP,select it and will attempt to connect, once connected it will automatically install wukong app on your fire TV. When this is all done you should be able to see the pointer on your screen and navigate through using your preferred type of build in modes ( touchpad, dpad, mouse or keyboard)
Hi not sure what I am doing wrong but once uninstalling the apps from the firestick and downloading the wukong app for 'kodi' instead of any other then launching it and selecting ip, it asks last 2 numbers which I put in and hit search and I get no device found which dosen't make sense. I have unkown sources on and usb degug on set, it tries to initialize but fails and says 1 minute to resolve but goes to a tutorial troubleshoot page without connecting?

Hi I know what you were explainging was a pretty simple, quick access to the application but I seem to be experiencing a problem connecting to it on my firestick. Once installing the app on my phone for example and then trying to access it on the stick, it shows ‘smart tv’ which is checked and ‘my devices’ which has a rectangular green box that is labeled ‘connect’ but not ‘firetv’. When tapping ‘connect', I get ‘initializing’ then failed to initialize showing the troubleshooting page suggesting developer options and usb debugging which are all on. The only other problem that I thought may be the issue was having all connections the same which they are now on the same wifi extender that has the best signal. This didn’t change anything. I then checked the IP address on the firestick which is 192.168.1.12 and it when hitting ‘Input IP to search’, it asks for the last 2 digits but when entering the 12, I quickly get ‘no devices found please try again. I then checked the IP on my tv and found its IP’s last 2 digits are 22 not 12 which I don’t see how I would change these or even if this would be the problem since it is the firestick that I am trying to get recognized. Besides, even though ‘smart tv’ shows up in the ‘New Devices’, Wukong is not functional with the actual tv either. The other suggestion they give was to install the server onto the tv but once copying that fires on to a flash drive then plugging it into my Samsung smart tv, I cant even access the file on the tv.
If you or anyone can shed any light on my situtuation - it would be appreciated

I'm also stuck
When I use Wukong Remote, it doesn't detect my Fire TV. I have ADB debugging and Unknown Source both on. Might there be another setting I am missing so my Firestick can be detected?
