Vudu sideload - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone try sideloading Vudu for access to UV movies? Flixter is available but not all movies are available through Flixter. Alsot is HDX available if vudu is available?

Yes, I was able to sideboard the app and it works. I do however have to use my k400 keyboard / track pad to navigate.

1) Go to Playon http://www.playon.tv/playon
- Install the playon service on your PC
2) Configure : In the PlayOn config, you can enter your Hulu Login Info. This is helpful as it can pull from your Queue
3) Get the PlayOn App from Android Market. This is not currently avaialble in Amazon Market, so you need to port it over (plenty of instructions on the boards for this)
4) As long as you are on the same WiFi network as your PC, you will be able to stream any of the PlayOn channels including HULU
Ive got HULU up and running perfect on my Kindle Fire. I thought I would share how I did it. First off you need root, and custom recovery. Then you need to use this rom here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 which is a custom rom Based on the stock 6.2.2 release. Other than the rom being awesome it also poses as a Samsung Galaxy Tab that allows for a lot of apps that use to show as incompatible are now available. Some work, some dont. But one that does is Flash Video Browser, which is only .99 cents. I had already paid for this and was using it on my Evo 3D, and my Evo View, but it wasnt compatible with my Fire until now. I was able to install, and it works perfect. So I know this is a lot to do just to get Hulu on the Fire, but I was using this Rom for other reasons and this was just an added benefit!! Hope this helps someone.

You can get it in two ways:
1. The safe way:
Download Apk Extractor to your S3 and send the apk to N7 by bluetooth
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sylark.apkextractor
2. Download it directly from another site which has is cached (be carefull, because some apks might be modified to include malware. so check its permissions before installing):
http://androidvnd.com/download.php?id=com.gmtmobile.fullmovies.activities
I recommend the app TV Portal. It has free TV shows and movies.

I use some special XBMC builds that add great HW acceleration support, and then I install the Navi-X plugin inside of it.
Thousands of 720p/1080p movies and TV shows along with Live TV streams on my Nexus 7? Priceless. I've streamed Silver Linings Playbook and Wreck-it-Ralph just fine.

How exactly do I use this? I have a smart tv linked to my local wireless lan. Would it be possible to share media between the two? If so, how? All I get is .. Searching for players.

You must have a chromecast device hooked up to your TV.

NO! this does not work with chromecast. it will work with DLNA-enabled TVs.
according to android authority:
"Starting in AllCast Beta 7, users can now cast their Google Drive and locally stored content over to any DLNA-capable device including many popular game systems (Xbox One, PS3, etc), Apple TV and most smart TVs. Due to the currently locked nature of Chromecast, the app does not support Google’s streaming device, however."

Unfortunately loads of people are reporting that Allcast beta 7 doesn't work with the PS3, but I found a work around if you have a Samsung galaxy phone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqu7BPqjo4s&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Only works well with 720p mp4 and avi content.
What's with all those updates recently?
I received 3 alone yesterday, one today also dated back for yesterday.
Changing version numbers, but no changelog or other version history in the PlayStore.
PS
merry xmas!

If your intent is to side load and install an apk to the FTV from PC, then you're looking for the Amazon Fire TV Utility App.
There is also AGK Fire that lets you side load and transfer apps directly from your smartphone.

Try that one, you can swipe across your phone, bring up a keyboard, and use the voice search. The keyboard is nice so you don't have to use that pain in the ass aftv onscreen keyboard.
