It is listed as an application on the fire stick.
What is it?
thanks
Pretty sure it's wi-fi display client, for mirror cast.

When I play YouTube videos from my phone, there's no cast option for the Fire TV. There's an option for Chromecast but no option for the Fire TV.
Casting had worked on a previous router and network. It's not working on my new router and network though. Is there something I need to enable in order to get casting to work?

Anyone?
Download the youtube app for FireTV, but from youtube !!!
Then start youtube (Fire TV) und go to settings, then pair your phone with the app.
On your Phone go to
Youtube.com/pair and insert the numbers
I'm able to cast to the Fire TV Stick but not the Fire TV. I also see that the Fire TV is missing an app named "WFD Client." I'm assuming this controls casting ability. Can anyone with a Fire TV confirm if they can still cast without loading the Fire TV YouTube app first?
I understand what you are trying to do, but I'll give you an alternative. If you have XBMC installed, install the pushbullet addon, then you can send videos or any media to your Fire TV instantly. The good thing is that you can send videos from your browser or any other app that shares and you do not have to worry about being conncted to the same router, cause it is all done using your Gmail account. I guess some people still do not know what pushbullet is, but its basically a service to share things between your devices instanly through your email account. All you have to do is install the pushbullet app on your device, signin with your gmail and then you can recieve or send things to and from all your devices that have pushbullet installed.

I don't use YouTube TV but I heard it works if you navigate to the web page using the Silk Browser.
I use AirReceiver to cast to mine. It costs a few bucks, but it is the only one i have found to work.

I tried it with Splashtop HD sideloaded on my rooted AFTV and, yes it works.
its in the works and should be addressed soon. I have windows 8.1 and it will begin to add my firetv stick but then it stops and my firetv backs out.
Install MirrorOP reciever on your Fire TV, install MirrorOP sender on your PC. Turn on MirrorOP reciever on your Fire TV and turn on MirrorOP sender on your PC. No root needed. There is also MirrorOP sender and reciever for other OSs too, so you can mirror a lot of your devices on the Fire TV.
It's my first post on here so go easy on me guys
I'm trying to mirror from my TV to my Amazon Fire TV as well as use WIFI-Direct. I've made sure they are both on the same network and the TV picks up the Fire TV. I select connect and it's sending a message to the Fire TV asking permission. After I've selected for it to be approved nothing happens and the Samsung TV in the living room (right on the other side of the wall from the Fire TV) just keeps trying to connect.
Any ideas? I've searched and searched to see what OS my TV is running and I can't find it anywhere, there are quite a few apps available so I'm not sure if its a custom version of Android or not.
I'd greatly appreciate any help or assistance anyone can give me. I've also noticed a network which is available called Direct-3F-FireTV-8b54 but have no idea of a default login or password.
Is there a solution that makes the Fire Stick TV double as a chromecast? I would like to cast Chrome tabs from my PC to the firestick or from my phone to the Fire Stick. Any solutions out there?
Remotr, mirroring360, and airparrot(to reflector) can mirror but the performance is largely dependent on you PC hardware.
Another option is enabling the Kodi upnp client and using the "play to Kodi" extension in the play store. if the extension can pick up the video it can be "cast" via Kodi.
If you are trying to play flash video you may want to sideload Puffin browser on the Firetv and play directly. Keyboard and mouse needed.

After moving to a new router which assigned different lan ip addresses to my unrooted fire hd tablet and uprooted firetv stick basic I can no longer cast from vanced or YouTube to the stick, it sees my stick but refuses to connect. I can connect using the tv number code method but have to do this every time as its not remembered so id like to get casting working again. I tried:
Restarting fire tv stick
Uninstalling and reinstalling vanced (current stable version) after deleting its data and cache
Ditto for Smart youtube tv on Fire stick, which is the app vance used to cast to.
I suspect that somewhere the old ip for the Fire stick is stored and blocking access. Any ideas appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
Well I have no need for VPN so never tried any form of it but I can tell you I can use Easy Fire Tools fine with new router to sideload smart YouTube tv. It did require me to correct the ip address to the new ip assigned to the stick after I changed routers. I can also use Fire TV remote with the new router. Any specific app you want me to test?
