Hi all, I would like to ask if you can create a wifi Nvidia Shield server can connect to other devices, in order to use FPSE multiplayer lan and also play with 2 players.
Thank you.

Care to tell of your experience?
What games did you play? What version of FPSE? What kind of router did you have? Was your partner using another Shield?

- Needless router, because the connectivity is done directly by wifi (like bluetooth), I tried it with a tablet and it worked very well.
- The version of FPSE is the last
- I tried to Crash Team Racing
Sorry for the delay in answering, for any further questions I will answer you without problems.
Thank you.

Hi
I realise there are a few posts regarding this allready, but I can't find any answering my specific questions, so I'm hoping you can help me.
1st up - how do I connect my DHD to the PS3 through DLNA?
2nd - will the PS3 play videoes and pictures from my device?
3rd - Do i need extra applications installed on my PS3, and which?
I tried connecting to the PS3, the same way as I tried streaming from my DHD to windows mediaplayer. I can't seem to find any settings on the PS3 enabling me to activate this function, so I can control the PS3 from my phone.
Can I control the media on my DHD from my PS3 otherwise?
All help is appreciated, would really like to get to know this DLNA-function.
thanks in advance

Hey guys,
I feel like there is an answer to this question, but, I promise I did search (followed the cardinal rule for forum posting)! Is it possible to hack/mod the amazon fire tv to stream content from your desktop to your TV over the network? This is the only feature I feel is missing and would be awesome if this little beat could do so.
Thanks for any help guys.

I'm not sure but there probably is a casting apk that will work somewhere. Check AllShare, AllCast, etc. for a casting app/receiver that includes desktop capability. You will have to install it with ADB on the Fire TV.
Why would you want to do this? IMO, there are plenty of easier ways to do this. for personal videos, upload to youtube, just set your channel as private. For website based streaming, you could load Firefox browser apk. For movies and TV shows, use xbmc.
Maybe with a little more info on what you want to stream, will help find an answer.

Use plex man.
Go to plex.tv on your PC. Download the plex media server for your PC. On your firetv, download the plex apk. It can also be sideloaded if you already purchased it somewhere else. That's all you need.
I use plex to stream pictures and home videos without a problem.

Worked perfectly! Thanks man! I do have one more question for you though as you seem pretty active on these forums. What would be the point to mod your fire TV? As in what do people gain from doing so, free games?

JJ-KwiK said:
You can already sideload any apk without the need to root the device. Although, this isn't the site to talk about that. Root also isn't available as of yet for this device.
I'm looking forward to root for a few reasons.
- Ability to use apps that require root. Ex. an app that can power off your device, so it's not always in standby.
- Ability to change the launcher without the need for Llama.
- Ability to install apps that are currently confirmed as not incompatible.
- Overclock it, to make it run faster.
- Remove Preinstalled Crapware, that can't be uninstalled otherwise.

Why do u need some unknown third party software to just play videos from PC?
Plex?
What da?
Turn on Windowx file sharing on PC.
Connect from any Android using Dice Player or File Manager HD+MX Player.

Plex is far from unknown, and makes playing videos, movies, music, and photos from your PC stupid easy. That's why.

i don't have and iOS machines, so I can't tell you exactly, but a VNC client on your iPhone would work, and run a VNC Server on your AFTV.
Thanks.. are there any other choices out there ?

Can someone recommend me a controller that has good compatibility for both emulators and android games themselves? I'd like something that easily works. I'm noticing some posts around the internet where people aren't having issues with emulators, but are having issues with android games, or the exact opposite. I have a rooted fire tv in case that is needed for some controller compatibility apk.

I bought the Amazon Fire TV Game Controller, works with anything that supports gamepads. I have a PS3 & Xbox 360 controllers that worked good on somethings and sucked on others. So i've been really happy with the Amazon Game Controller.
I got the Ouya controller. It works well and functions as a mouse as well.
The Amazon controller has worked for me with:
NES
Genesis
SNES
DC
PS 1
I can not get it to figure out N64 commands, and this is an emulator problem. I may have to connect a mouse to map to the controller. If anyone has figured out N64 on Fire TV, please post
Anyone tried the Wiimote?

Which version are you using? I have the Google Play version sideloaded. I would like to get the Fire TV version as it works with the remote, but since I only have the stick, I can't purchase and download it.

I'm curious also if anyone uses a wiimote for any emulators/amazon games. Does the classic controller extension work with it? Does it even work in the emulators at all?
I want to get a controller for my FTV but I have so many around my house I don't want another one, so if I can find one that works with what I want to do I'd rather just use it
Also anyone tried using PS3 controller, does it even work?
I've heard it mentioned that it was possible but no instructions- does anyone know if a wireless Xbox 360 can be paired to the FIre TV, and if so, how? Note- I'm asking about the wireless being paired directly via bluetooth- NOT using a USB dongle or adapter.

Unless there has been some recent development on that, its not possible without the dongle sorry

No. Xbox controllers use a proprietary wireless standard, not straight Bluetooth. It can only be paired with the adapter.

Has anyone tried to use the app from this Popcorn Time site: popcorntime(dot)sh
I currently have a Nexus Player and it works great, but thinking about moving over to Fire TV. I don't have one right now to test it, so wanted to check here.
The Android TV app functions perfectly with the launcher and remote.
I just installed it and it works perfect.
Does this work with the Fire Stick? I got it work perfectly on my 4K FTV, but it crashes on the Stick whenever I try to play a movie.
Yep, works good here too - using on a fire stick.

Hi,
What version and platform you installed? Also works whit series? The versions i tried, tv series didnt work.
Hi. Quick question. I'm thinking on buying a fire tv to use it with Popcorn Time (from the .to website). Have read kodi has troubles writing to sd card (or external storage in general) because it does not ask for permission to do so. So my question is, has someone had troubles when downloading movies on Popcorn time routing them to the sd card directly from the app?

My understanding was that this app uses Torrents and so your IP will be exposed on whatever server from which the video is streamed.

Youre correct. If you're going to use it your ip is exposed. Never used one personally on fire tv but people have got vpn working. I highly advise going that route with torrent software.
