XBMC + Seedbox ftw
perfect way to download movies fast remotely and stream them to ftv. You can connect to your seedbox through FTP and stream from it, tested with high bitrate 1080p and no problem at all.
NAVI-x / icefilms etc.. are good for new stuff but when trying to find old stuff all streams are dead.
Just look at this download speed with seed.st

Did you mean "perfect way to download movies fast remotely and stream them to seedbox your FTV." Looks great. Maybe you can write a mini walk-thru. Thinking you are using XBMC on the FTV end ?? Might have to PM you to get some seedbox options info. Thanks.

Yes XBMC on the FTV
You add torrents to the seedbox and once comolete you can access them instantly through FTV (just add your FTP info ad a network location).
Seed.st plan - $7 a week or $15 a month
400 GB HSSD / gigabit / unlimited bandwidth
Was able to put on there a 50gb torrent within 15 minsmins
Private trackers only though like IPTorrents, but PM me if u want an invite
a little demo

Nice... Thanks for more info. Already @ IPT. But PM me about other options. I had heard of some $3-$5 seedbox's. Might have to research that more. Thanks again. :good:

Is there any way i can show any content of my kindle fire on a TV / Monitor ?
Like Playing angrybirds or, playing a Netflix movie or something.
Thanks
No accessory. You might be able to rig something up using an OTG cable and a USB display adapter, but it would be messy and you'd have to hack it together yourself.
But it is coming. The Fire uses an OMAP4 SoC, which means it will be getting support for WiFi Display:

The problem is the WiFi Display standard hasn't been finalized. When it is we'll start seeing support from devices like the AppleTV, and Ti will release the necessary drivers. Then we just have to wait for someone like Hashcode to merge them into the kernel.
Shockingly this is something I can actually answer. What you want to broadcast digital content on your TV is a Roku box. It can play all of the digital content that you usually play on your Fire, though your Fire isn't actually a part of the equation at all. It basically just connects your TV to your WiFi signal and plays from there. It does Netflix, Hulu, and others. The top of the line Roku 2 XS comes with Angry Birds.
You won't have any trouble finding it in a search on Amazon.

Actually, this is a separate piece of hardware, that plays its own content, as you said, there is no connection between the ruku box, my TV and my Kindle fire
Thanks tho, i will google it
Limited Airplay Support
There are apps which will beam via Wi-Fi to an AppleTV Box: iMediaShare Mirage and a few others - but there is no screen mirroring for AngryBirds and such - just beaming of local audio and video content. It works REALLY well though for what it is. I can send a 720p MP4 with no skips and it looks great on a 37" set
I think I saw one person saying that they pair their Kindle up with a Google TV. Idk what the functionality of it is though.

Does anyone have problems playing back large MKV files? I was watching Star Wars: RotJ and the playback slows down and becomes choppy every 10 seconds or so. It doesn't buffer, it just get choppy.
My AFTV plays small and medium size (8-14gb) MKV files just fine.
Is there any way to fix this?
Probably not. It's too much bandwidth. Are you using wireless? Regular or 5G? Have yo tried Ethernet?

The AFTV is normally connected to ethernet. I disconnected it and tried it through 5G and it's slightly better.
My Alienware laptop has 5G and plays it smoothly through Kodi.
I downloaded MediaInfo and this is what the file looks like:

Isn't ethernet 100mbps? So, that should be enough to play it back smoothly right?
Try for a test a playback with the 2nd audio stream instead the first DTS audio.

Thanks for the idea. The other two audio tracks are DVD commentary. Unfortunately, it played worse when switched to those tracks. I also noticed that the Kodi popup windows would fade in/out much slower.
I tried the setting for ENABLE PASSTHRU but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Okay, rebooting seems to have fixed it for now.
I can play this file without any lag or stutter or choppy video:
Not sure if it's a memory issue with Kodi 14.2 or the AFTV?
I think I might update to Kodi 15.
Seems as if the hardware decoder has internally crashed. Shouldn´t happen but nothing to worry about.

I had no problem playing 17GB+ .mkv files on my AFTV with Kodi 14.1 but I did customized my advancedsetting.xml to increase the buffer size Kodi uses as well as the speed of the pre-fetch. The following settings are what I use
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>83886080</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>10</readbufferfactor> </network>
Hi, I'm facing a problem with my shiny new FireTV stick, preventing it to be used as intended:
I've been using a chromecast stick to listen to online radio streams without problems. That chromecast was connected to a HDMI-audio extractor, comparable to this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013WOLL44/
The audio extractor is connected to the tv (video + audio) and to a stereo amplifier (audio only). That way I can listen to audio streams on my stereo, with the TV in stand-by mode.
When I got myself a FireTV stick about a week ago, I replaced my old chromecast with it. So now the FTVS is connected to the HDMI-audio extractor.
But the FTVS enters sleep mode as soon as I switch the tv into stand-by mode (using the tv remote). So it seems to be impossible to listen to radio streams without the tv switched on.
Is there anything I can do to keep the FTVS running with TV in stand-by? (I even could solder some custom HDMI cable if needed.)
Solution: See post #3!
@spacetaxi
try to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-root-home-launcher-replacement-app-t3118135
and set looong Sleep timeout in FireStarter settings
maybe this help
Problem solved!
@Kramar111 Thanks for your suggestion, but that does not work.
During the last days I did further investigations and came to the following conclusion: It is a hardware feature of the FTV stick to go into sleep mode as soon as the tv is switched to stand-by. Of course that does make a lot of sense if one is using the stick for video streaming. But it does make less sense if one wants to use it for audio streaming...
I've been searching for a method to "hack" the HDMI connection, so the FTV stick does no longer recognize when the TV is switched to stand-by... and I've found a solution!
There is a looong thread on the Microsoft Technet forum regarding a somewhat similar problem with some pc video cards: https://social.technet.microsoft.co...onitor-off-detection-how?forum=w7itprogeneral
I've made two screenshots from that page, so we are able to keep the crucial bits of information, even if that thread may be no longer available someday in the future. This is the problem description from the Technet thread:

Hi everyone, just tried my browser on the Nvidia Shield TV and seems to work well. If your in need of a simple and easy browser to work with your remote give it a try. The browser is meant for handheld devices so dont expect too much at the moment. I am thinking to rework it to be completely compatible with Android TV and have it available on the TV store . I have only sideloaded the pro version and i am posting the pro apk for you guys free of charge to give it a try. I am planning to start development after the holidays so please be patient and in the mean time let me know what you think.
Here are the links in the Play Store to check it out:
Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aplustech.minimalbrowserxfree&hl=en
Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aplustech.minimalbrowserx&hl=en
Merry Christmas to all

Thank you. I've been waiting for a worthwhile TV browser. Glad to hear your gunna be working on that. Thank you for the pro APK to sideload. I'll be giving it a shot.
This is awesome... I'm having too much fun with this device =]
Just what I was looking for. I'll give it a go, thanks.

I sideloaded Chrome and it works fine if you have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Just saying.
I think that's exactly what nankoc is saying. Having a browser where you don't need a keyboard & mouse.
Will try it, thanks.
Can we integrate adblock plus addons with it ? i want to get rid of ads.
Chrome Dev has some partial controller support but I'll give this one a go.
Thank you for letting us test the pro version. I'll try it tonight when I get home along with some other stuff I've collected.
Edit: I played around with it last night for a few minutes. I had some difficulty selecting options on the sidebars, though. I also thought they should auto-hide when not selected because they're covering up parts of web pages. If you can integrate voice search, that would be helpful, but I have no idea how difficult that would be.
Hi Guys, how are you?
Sorry if the title doesn't meet the rules, I didn't came here since my Nexus 5 died, a long time ago!
Well, enough talk about me.
The title says it all, is there any way to use and/or remap the TV stick remote control with a PC (Windows 10) with bluetooth or, if not, any other protocol?
I've been lookin for everywhere and in the very little informations I got, nothing seem's to work. I can pair the remote on my PC through bluetooth, it register under the nickname of "AR", but the remote does nothing. AHK and AHKHID doesn't register the remote pressed buttons so I can't remap them. I'm new to AHK, so maybe I do something wrong.
If you have any information to give me, don't be shy!
I want to use it for Plex on Windows, my old laptop does a pretty nice job as media center. As of why I don't use the TV Stick, it's because it's the worst, most unusable, slower, buggier piece of garbage I ever bought, thankfully it was cheap, but I don't even understand how such a product can reach the market, in it's final days, it couldn't even start Prime Video. But the remote control might be useful!
Have a nice day you all!

Hi 0815hoffi! Thanks for your time! I was so desperate that I already tried, mind you, and AntiMicro simply tell me that it find no device ^^'
Thanks for the try ^^
I ordered a cheap'o remote... on Amazon, they got me all the time. It's just sad, because if the Amazon Remote had a way to remap keys, it would make less waste... I won't use even though it's working great
