[Q] How to mount a NAS drive to Amazon Fire TV - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am having some trouble mounting a WD MyBook Live NAS drive to my Amazon Fire TV. My device is rooted and I have attempted to mount it using the suggestion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/mount-samba-share-t2810318
The location of my network folder is: 192.168.0.11\Public
Username is: admin
password: (no password set)
Local directory created: mnt/obb/nas
I am getting an "Invalid Argument" error when I try to mount the drive.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this? Thanks!

[Q] WiFi Disk Systec PX-4709 software problems

Hello Guys.
I bought a WiFi Disk-Case Systec PX-4709 or Powson PX-4709. Because its very small.
For this disk exists a app named "AirStor" (Power7 Technology).
A test is in androidpit. this device is shown in the app, but i cannot move anything or create folders on the device.
The software is very too basic. Oter software like "WiDisk" and so on is not working too.
So i tried with "Total Commander" and FTP or LAN plugin. But with LAN (port 80) and FTP (port 21) i get no access.
A try with "ES Datei Explorer" and the LAN, WEB and FTP options but the device will not be found.
The procedure to have access to the drive is:
- Connect to accesspoint / Server of the drive over WiFi-Network
- Start the app AirStor: the device is shown now as empty
- It is possible to change the drive parameter like SSID and IP, but this was not function. So i take the default
- Select a file and copy it to the disk, but this is not going
With which software can i get a access on the device? I see the mac and the IP address, but i not know the ports for communication.
Can i find out which communication-protocols are running and on which port? Or which protocol is using by AirStor?
Unfortunately in Windows i cannot have access too. I cannot ping and see the device.
Over USB i have with Windows 7 pro 64Bit also no access. Its only possible to connect with AirStor?
Can anybody help me?
Kind regards

'OpenVPN for Android' working on non-rooted Fire TV

Over the last week I've been trying to get OpenVPN Installer and then OpenVPN Settings to work on my rooted Fire TV 2 (on 5.0.5_r4). I've described the steps here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/vpn-rooted-fire-tv-t3370488
Even though the VPN turns on, it appears the Fire TV 2 internet traffic is still routed through the original pathway and the IP address remains unchanged, which I've been unable to fix. Has anyone managed to get OpenVPN Settings to work on a rooted Fire TV?
However, I recently noticed OpenVPN for Android (https://plus.google.com/communities/114121831091105660092) and gave this a try on my Fire TV 2 and it worked straight out of the box (giving an updated IP address when checked). I presumed that it only worked because my Fire TV 2 was rooted with the necessary VPN binaries installed (by OpenVPN Installer). However, the author of OpenVPN for Android communicated to me that root is not needed and, as a test, I've just tried it on my unrooted Fire TV 1 (on 5.0.5) and it also works!
Will be interesting to see if others have had similar success and can confirm findings.
I gave this a go ( OpenVPN for Android ) on my rooted firetv 1,
and sure enough it works
Does anyone know if this gives accesss to different content with a German Prime membership, e.g. when routed to an US VPN-Endpoint? Or does it just stop working?
What do you need to do to install this on an unrooted Fire Stick? My only guys is to install it on my phone, grab the apk and adb it to my stick. Any better suggestion?

Yeah, I installed AGK Fire onto my phone last night. It seems that's probably the best way to get that app on the stick.

Just use the app in the op
dean4k, like Petesky says, just use 'OpenVPN for Android' found in the link in the first post - it works great and the latest version is much easier to use with just the Fire TV remote (no need of a mouse pointer) once setup!
Bramtom1 you may have already seen this useful page (on AFTVnews) but I found it a great help for learning how to connect/load stuff onto Fire TV:

Add Proxy only for Prime
Guys I live in Argentina and can change the DNS setting on my stick to receive USA prime but doing so breaks my Netflix, also have Kodi installed and that works fine with US Dns or local. Is there any way to add some code to only Proxy prime through the US DNS server.
I tried installing DNS changer app but it does not change the Firestick settings although it says changed, my stick is also rooted.
Thanks not sure what thread to post on.

What VPN Service works?
For those of you that got this working, what VPN service are you using? I am trying with Private Internet Access, and the app shows connected, but when I check, I see my original IP. Thanks.
Hi Mav21,
I'm using IronSocket VPN, which works fine.

Not using it just now but I was using PIA as well and it does show original ip but if you use another app to check it will show that your ip has changed
Thanks, when I check on the PIA website, it returns my original IP address and says "not protected". Any other settings that I need to look at?

Ever figure this out with PIA? I only see my original IP despite installing "OpenVPN for Android" and it connecting. I also have the OpenVPN binary installed manually (I'm rooted).
People need to be very wary about this. If the PIA site sees your source IP address, you are NOT protected.
I'm seeing the same issue as others, both the PIA site and any other site the returns IP addresses shows the source IP in both Firefox and Chrome.
OpenVPN appears to connect, but traffic is not being routed through it.
May it be possibile that this only works with the fire tv and not with the fire tv stick?
Has anyone of you managed to use OpenVPN on a non-rooted fire tv stick?
I tried and my stick is connected to my VPN, but the traffic is unfortunately not routed through the tunnel
I can't get it to work. Using Iron Socket and i get the error "tls-auth enabled, but no valid --auth alogorith specified". Not sure why. Fire TV 1 running 5.2.1
No luck for me either.
I have a Firestick. I sideloaded the latest OpenVPN for Android.
Imported the profiles from EZ Explorer.
After entering password/user, it attempts connecting and I See the following errors:
Code:
Failed to open the tun interface
Error: Cannot find de.blinkt.openvpn.core.OpenVPNService
ERROR: Cannot open TUN
Exiting due to fatal error
Process exited with exit value 1
MGMT: Got unrecognized command>FATAL:ERROR: Cannot Open Tun
Not entirely sure what this means. Anyone?

Rooted Fire Stick Ethernet

Hello all,
I have setup my fire stick using the instructions listed on the aftvnews website and see the wired connection. I can also access the fire stick via ADB using the new IP address but the fire stick does not appear to have internet access. It continually tells me to go to the network settings to resolve my issue. If I manually access my applications and start plex I can reach my server. Any ideas?

CertInstaller Fails when trying to install Charles SSL .crt (Fire TV Stick 2) (FTVS2)

I've setup a proxy connection using Charles and configured my Fire TV Stick Gen-2 (2016) to use it by using the AndroidProxySetter app mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/how-to-http-proxy-amazon-fire-tv-stick-t3291719
I then used the Downloader app to download the .crt file from chls.pro/ssl to decrypt ssl traffic.
But when I try to install the cert I get this error: The certificate is not installed.
Logcat says:
Code:
W/CertInstaller: systemInstall(): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.settings/com.android.settings.CredentialStorage};
It doesn't look like Fire OS has the Android Settings package, so why does the cert installer try to use it?
Does Fire OS have an alternative cert installer app that would work?
Hi, Is this issue gets resovled for you? Could you please advise how to download or copy charles certificate on the FireTV?

How to show & reveal the connected wifi password on Amazon Fire TV?

How to show & reveal the connected wifi password on Amazon Fire TV?
You can't access it without root, but it's in
/data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml
Hi that entry directory did not exist

Yeah the directory and file are hidden because you don't have root access.
You can check the Fire TV Original Android Development section to see if there are any rooting options for your device.
