Good Morning,
I picked up a fire tv box yesterday and I am having trouble connecting it to my onkyo amp.
I plug it directly into my TV and it works fine, but when plugging it into my amp, all i get is a blue screen.
I tried altering the display from auto down to 1080p 50/60hz, but still nothing.
The box came pre loaded with xbmc, would it be something in there that is causing it ?
Has anyone else had this issue ? Any ideas on how i can get round it ?
Pete
I have just noticed that i put this in the wrong forum, please can a mod move it to the correct one. Thanks

I just noticed the part about xbmc being preloaded on your firetv? I'm guessing you bought this used?!? If so, that might be part of the problem.

I run mine thru an Onkyo and it works fine. I pass thru DTS via XBMC. Great. You should really ask this question on the Onkyo forums and provide way more information about your setup.

Not sure if there is some confusion but I was responding to the OP. I was asking him if he might have bought his AFTV used since it does not come with XBMC installed. And not to keep this going or anything, but I can guarantee if he asked his question in Onkyo forums their response would be for him to go to AFTV, XBMC, or possibly XDA (although I doubt it) forums for an answer.

Right the FireTV doesn't come with XBMC stock.
I have mine hooked up to an Onkyo NR414 (I believe) and it works fine. ALTHOUGH there were one or two HDMI cables that would give me a screen about HDCP, not sure if it was a blue screen. Try different HDMI cables.
Hi guys
Thanks for your help.... Spend this morning swapping hdmi cables round. Now it works a treat !!

excellent. Another thing to pay attention to is which box is powered up first. The order that seems to work best for me is TV, then amp, then FireTV.

I've just purchased my OUYA and similar to my raspberry pi running raspbmc I get no sound over the HDMI out the box. With my raspberry pi I had to add hdmi_drive=2 to the config and then I got sound over HDMI. This I'm guessing is due to my tv requiring a specific mode being enabled or different HDMI driver, to be honest I'm not sure.
Does anyone know if there is a similar setting I can change somewhere on an OUYA box? I'm desperate to get things working and don't want to have to take the box back.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm sure this will also solve a number of the HDMI sound issues with OUYA dotted over the web.

Did you get anywhere with this issue?
I'm having the same problem.

I've still got the same problem. I do believe it's similar to what I experience on then Raspberry Pi.
I contacted ouya and they didn't come up with a fix either. If you find a fix before I do please let me know.

Its the HDMI
Im dealing with the same issue. Im running through an HDMI splitter now and it seems to be okay BUT previously I would have to pull and plug my HDMI like 5 times when Id boot the OUYA to get sound out. It seems to be fine lately.
Try different cable, different ports on the TV and boot the ouya and just pull and plug a few times live and see if it works.
Prime movies and TV shows do not load after manually upgrading to fw 51.1.1.0_user_511070220. I have root and nothing is being blocked on my router. Streaming with prime worked fine on fw 51.1.0.2_user_510058520. Oddly enough, the trailers will play fine but not the actual movie.
Anyone have similar problems?
Edit: I performed a factory reset and reinstalled everything to no avail.
Check to be sure your system has a correct timestamp? I had some really weird stuff happen earlier today when I wasn't able to get NTP at boot up.
Bizarre fix
So I replaced the hdmi cable and all is well again. Apparently the cable was bad only when trying to play prime movie and tv streams. It worked fine with all xbmc stuff and everything else like games and apps. Maybe the hdmi cable is old 1.2 and not 1.4. At any rate, I'm glad it wasn't defective hardware.

Interesting. Thanks for posting the resolution.
I've read over the internet that the Playstation 4 controller will work with the aftv but when I try and sync it up with it the controller just blinks white and then turns off and the aftv says fail to pair. Does anyone have this same problem and know of a workaround?
Thanks
I have the same problem. I can't get it to sync up no matter what I do. It does work while plugged into the firetv. I don't have a PS4 though so that's the only thing I can think of why mine doesn't work. Maybe it has some kind of software update that it needs from the PS4. I did buy my remote right when it first came out because it was a really good deal. I think it was priced wrong. Do you have a PS4?

Yeah I have a PS4, and with mine even if I plug it into the fire tv it still does not work.

Same here, is there a USB dongle like the one for the xbox controller.
I put this on the Kodi Genesis forum but have had no luck so thought I would see if anyone here has come across this.
Ok guys, have a fire TV running genesis 5 and kodi 14.1 with no problems at all. Decided yesterday I would buy a fire TV stick. Installed kodi 15.1 on to it and genesis 5. Went to a tv show I watch and came up no streams available. Went to the exact same tv show on my fire TV and instantly all links came up! They are both in the same room connected to the same router.
I decided I would try downgrading the fire stick to kodi 14.1 so I had the exact same setup as the fire TV box. Still no streams available! How can this be happening? It's doing my head in! Any help guys would be greatly appreciated. By the way I have a very strong wifi signal on my stick.
Thanks
Darren
I have a similar problem! Except it's with IceFilms. When clicking on a movie, all I see are three dots (one up folder). I'll keep an eye on this thread. I hope you get it working!
I just got my fourth fire stick yesterday and have the same exact problem. All the other sticks work great, I don't know what they have done. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.

I think I know what the problem is, try changing the view to say a list or poster or go through the view types until the list appears properly.
I have tried changing the views with no luck. It has to be down to the stick. What I have noticed is the stick comes up with "no stream available" in Genesis but it still says working for another 15-20 seconds. I know there are streams available because they come up on my fire TV for this particular TV show. It seems to be timing out or something like that, like it is not finding the streams quick enough then just shows "no stream available". May something to do with speed or memory of the fire stick?

I uninstalled everything and hooked it to my other TV using the power cord that came with it. Every thing is great now, I put it on the other TV that had USB for power and it still works on that TV. So I'm not shure if you used the power cable that cane with it or not but use it to program it.

Do you mean delete kodi from the fire stick then use the power cable to the stick and then reinstall kodi & genesis?

I have done this myself, even factory reset the Fire TV Stick and it hasn't worked. So don't be disheartened if this doesn't work! You're not the only one.
I had this same problem and solved it here:

Hi my local cable company has a pretty sweet app and it works on a firestick with no issues. However, I upgraded to a Fire TV in hopes it would be faster. So far it is, However, my cable app is not working because it detects HDMI output. How or why it didn't on the firestick IDK but can anyone guide me on how to fix this or if I send you the APK is someone willing to look at it and fix it for me or guide me how to? I'm willing to learn I just can't seem to figure it out.
I suspect it has to do with the Fire TV HDMI CEC detection. I would suggest you try turning it off.

Thanks for the tip and I tried it out but it's app specific. Click to view channels and it says external display not supported. Which makes no sense to me since a firestick runs the same app without issue.
