what kind of crap is this? Do I really need to root and install the Play Store to get this thing working?
I'm interested in this. Where can I find the app to side load? I can test it out on my device
Here you be.
So for the moment while the DMA app isn't working on the FireTV you can play your entire library through the Vudu app on it. So I've got my massive library on my TV like I've always wanted. I am really glad to see Disney connecting all these services (iTunes/GooglePlay/Vudu - and their own app). It's really been a godsend.

easy way to put vudu on the fire tv? i've basically sideloaded the phone app, and it's been a giant pain to try and get logged on, so far. having to USB connect a mouse just to navigate the app.
suggestions?
Perhaps it's DRM policy doesn't allow output to secondary HDMI displays (common in such phone/tablet apks)

There is new app in Samsung Apps on your Galaxy S as of 23.07.2010
"TV QWERTY Remote Control Application"
It allows u to control your Samsung TV using wireless
Finally comes Samsung with feature they stated phone has from the start
it only works for new TV that has connection to the internet
if you have an old LCD that is not networked, you can forget about it

It doesn't use dlna it uses wireless internet control remote and even though I have a Series 8 Samsung TV purchased this year which is on a wireless network the program fails to find the TV....

Hello,
I've set up my AFTV today, rooted it, added xbmc with the amber skin. The AFTV is set up through my Xbox One with the HDMI passthrough, however I can only get sound in stereo and not in surround. I've tried adjusting settings in the Xbox menu as well as some within xbmc and the AFTV, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I experience the same problem - only stereo via HDMI, but 5.1 is being transmitted via SPDIF. I see no option to change that behavior.
Interestingly, there must have been such an option in an earlier version (?):

Any advice on how to get the castreceiver to work on Fire TV?
It can be activated and is also found in the network as a Google Cast Receiver, but no app can connect to it (tested with e.g. Spotify in Google Cast mode).

Tested with Open GApps 20180323 arm64
As a workaround, I use Softmedia's CastReceiver 1.1.2, but that only allows to use screencast.
I can cast Spotify to my firetv stick
I have an android TV version of Spotify installed on the stick & it comes up as Spotify connect device on my phone app
For YouTube I use the YouTube android TV app & link to phone via the code
For anything else use the allcast app from the playstore (you need the receiver app on the fire device from app store)
You can also create a media server with bubbleupnp if you want to go down that route
Thanks for the tips but I already know these alternatives. I'm really looking for a hint how to use the castreceiver from the GApps on Fire TV
I have a Comcast Xfinity and an Amazon Firestick. I have an S8 phone. The Xfinity app on my phone allows me to watch a lot of channels live but mirroring or casting my phone to the firestick is blocked when I do this. Is there any kind of "workaround"?

Why stream, install the Stream app directly on your Fire TV
To log in you also need to have the FireFox browser installed.

Xfinity Stream App
FireFox
Mouse Emulator in case you need one
I have Xfinity stream app but when I try to activate it , opens the login screen on Firefox browser but then when I click continue I get a unknown protocol error. I am using 4k Fire TV stock firmware. Any ideas?
My p6p will not pick up my TVs built in wireless display or even my Roku, do pixel phones only detect chrome casts? My Samsung is able to pick it all up weird.
All the playstore apps I have tried don't work either
No luck here either. I have a 2020 LG CX TV. I assume it might work with any brand that uses Android TV (or an addon Android TV, similar to Chromecast). I've successfully used apps such as AirDroid to mirror to my computer, which is also hooked up to my TV. They have several related apps, several of which might do what you need. https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=SAND+STUDIO&hl=en
In the past, I've also successfully used TeamViewer - again to mirror on the computer. You have to do it locally over Wi-Fi, though, remote via mobile data didn't work for me on any phone.

Some non-Android TVs do accept Google-style casting or allow the YouTube app to act as a middle man for content-specific casting. I know my LG webOS one allows the latter. BubbleUPnP and LocalCast are similar in that regard.
But mirroring? That's harder with a Pixel.
I remember in the past there were Magisk modules to enable the checkbox for Miracast, but it doesn't actually work or can even cause bootloops.
