I have been messing around with XBMC on the Note and really like it so far, but I am curious if the Note is CEC capable. It looks like the setting within XBMC is greyed out, but I have read on other Android platforms it works. Has anyone had any luck getting CEC to work w/ XBMC on their Note?

CEC allows you to control a device from the "mother devices" (my tv) remote over the HDMI connection. So, you can use it to pause a BluRay without using the BR players remote if CEC is setup.
Is this like ARC?

This is a mobile device forum. Google TV is not a mobile device. I own one as well, and would love to see development on it, but it won't happen here. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but that's the same reason there aren't any laptops in the forum. We have to stop somewhere. The site can include everything. Besides, it doesn't matter what OS the device in question is running, the fact is that it isn't a mobile device.
Check out gtvhacker.com for development on it. Google just released the 2.0 dev kit. Market access and Honeycomb are on the way.
I've looked at some apps and did some research on some apps abilities with airplay. I have a JBL dock that my iPod can connect with via airplay and I want my phone to be able to do this. Dues anyone know of any apps that have the ability?

DoubleTwist?
I thought that DoubleTwist is only for receiving music from iTunes; not for sending music and video and such to remote devices. Or can that be done?
I'm also looking for something like this. I'd like to be able to send what I see on the display of my Android device or Linux notebook to my TV. In Apple land, that would be done with AirPlay -> http://www.apple.com/airplay/; "Mirroring" is what I'm after. I'm not looking for something which would allow me to send just a video or music file to my TV - DLNA works.
Can someone suggest a solution? Those AirPlay apps that I found in the Play Store only seem to be able to send music, .or at best also video files. Oh, and I'm also looking for an AirPlay "receiver" for Android, that I could put on some Android USB stick or such which I'd connect to my TV via HDMI.
Oh #2 - it doesn't HAVE to be AirPlay. Something else altogether would be fine as well, as long as it does what I "need".
Thanks,
Alexander

Well then we can close this thread now because AirPlay mirroring isn't going to happen from your Android device. Hell the native Android solution to mirroring (Miracast) isn't even going to happen. That was just Googles way of saying "Look we had a half ass thought about it, now leave us the hell alone. No you cant have mirroring. Sincerly, Google."
You say you are familiar with DLNA and it works well for you, the end.

I dont know if there is anything wrong with the spotify connect offer in the amazon store for the Fire TV 2 but mine almost never works. My cell phone never find my amazon fire tv 2, it only sees my receiver. It used to work perfectly with my fire stick but since I upgrade to a FTV 2 no luck. It could be a problem with the app or with teh FTV 2, dont know. I am temping to use one of the apps posted here.

The 0.3 version posted here I believe came from a FTV 2 ... sounds like similar issues to what I experienced running it on the Shield TV, not found, only plays a couple of tracks before stopping.

Same here unfortunately. I'm hating AndroidTV more and more.
When I play videos that were taken on my iPhone 6 they play upside down when Air Playing with Air Receiver.
Is there a fix for this?

i have noticed this too, when i stream video apps from iphone they go sideways
I ran out and bought a Google Chromecast, only to find out it required one of those devices. I found it odd that nowhere in the commercial did it specify that. It's what I get for rushing out to buy something, I suppose. Got my money back for it, though.
Does Fire TV require a laptop / tablet / smartphone? If this is already posted somewhere in the forum or on another site, a link would be great. I did a quick google search and didn't really find anything right off the bat.
EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, I am wondering if I can stream / mirror media from my Desktop, instead of a smartphone / tablet / laptop.
Thanks, a potential Fire TV consumer.
Really, you come to this forum and you have no idea what a chromecast does?

Short answer is no. The Fire TV can exist as a semi-standalone media device connected to your TV. The only thing required is an internet connection/display.

Well, I do now. I bought one , you see, and I realized you MUST have a smartphone - tablet - laptop to stream.
Hence why I came here, a forum (where questions are frequently asked), to ask whether or not the Fire TV needs one of those devices.

Ugh, I am sorry man. You are saying no, but then you are saying all you need is a connection, which I have. So I'm set to get an FTV? Sorry, I am just trying to be sure.
And thanks for the non-Jackass response.

Sorry I wasn't clear. No, an external tablet/phone/computer is not required, just a display and a net connection.
