OTG

How do I make it work? I connected a wireless keyboard to my N7, but I dunno how to make it work. :c

Must be rooted first. Then it will work.

1. For an OTG, you just need the cable [micro hmdi male to usb female] and a usb device, like an external hard drive, mouse, etc.
2. If its was a wireless keyboard, you just need to have bluetooth on an pair correctly, i'd try to re-pair the devices.

OTG hardware in the fire stick?

Does anyone know if the Amazon fire TV stick has the OTG compatible hardware. I bought a Y OTG cable and it doesn't work . I was going to do a hardware root and see if I could get it working. But if doesn't even have the compatible hardware i'm not going to bother.

No one has been able to get anything working. I don't know whether it has the hardware or not, but I'm kind of doubting it, or it's not enabled at all in the OS.

I have looked at the PCB and it looks like only power is hooked up to the port the rest look grounded so there won't be any USB stuff for it

That is very sneaky of them. I don't understand why they are intentionally crippling their hardware...

thats why i said it looks like. i was going off the pics on gtv. i just looked again and the traces u can see are ground and a data line, pin 2 and pin 5. the fact they where able to get adb to work makes me think the rest are hooked up but u cant see them

any updates on using otg cables with the stick?
if the hardware is ready (data has to be wired, i think?), the host mode would be only software dependent?

It's possible, but it's also pointless.
Connecting to your Fire TV stick is possible without using the cable, just by using adb.
ie: adb connect 192.168.0.103 (ip address of your Fire Stick)

Then you didn't get the point. We are talking about using USB-OTG in this thread.
What should be pointless in thinking about that?!
I think everybody would like to connect a USB key to the AFTVS to watch some movies from that USB key :good:

Hi, i was able to get otg working.....now I'm using a USB wired keyboard and mouse connected to a USB hub.......and was able to use a ps3 controller connected by USB working with a app called liquidsky.....but I need help, does anyone know how to get a wired Xbox 360 controller working with fire stick.........it plugs in and gets power but the middle guide button just keeps blinking and its not recognized by liquidsky........any help would be appreciated.........

OTG Issues
Firestick is detecting my 1 TB HD but ES Explorer showing only Lost.directory. Kodi also unable to detect video files.
HD is formatted in FAT 32 partition

Is there any way to do this?

I have two external drives connected and mounted to my FTV. Is there any way to share those drives so my other computers on the network can see them?
Thanks!

If your FTV is rooted you might take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/how-to-share-usb-drives-connected-to-t3015889
But you could also get a NAS, they are not really expensive any more.

If that were possible I'm almost certain I would've heard of it by now.
Let's say it were possible, you'd still need root privs to mount the drive.

I have 2 aftvs and a stick. But the stick is in my kids room and i dont do much with it. Bluetooth support was added for the console like 2 updates ago. Id try pairing whatever u want and see if it works.
Maybe look on aftvnews.com. if theres anything noteworthy im sure they reported it.

Doesn't the Fire TV Stick lack a USB port? That's the main reason I went for the box instead of the stick version.

Go into the fire TV settings & make sure the usb debugging or the other settings Is in the right place. Once you look one of them needs to be in the right place or the usb port won't work.
If this helps press that like button

Thanks
