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.
I am able to upload the apps to the fire stick but cannot seem to open them completely. I downloaded the wukong remote app, have a bluetooth keyboard hooked up to my Samsung un65h7150 which seems to have a pretty fast processor and also have the directv tablet app on the stick as well. I can sign in with directv but have great difficulty navigating with fire stick remote and the keyboard as well. I can get as far as highlighting a channel but to open it up never happens- no enter buttons work neither on the wukong 'try now'
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to side-load the app to your phone or tablet, open app and connect to your Firestick IP, once connected It will automatically install the wukong app on your firestick . Once you see the app under your main\apps you are good to go.
Hi thanks I thought it just wasn't completely compatible. I did download the 'appstofire', app from GP, opened it up after I had the wukong and direct tablet already downloaded (from gp) and then opened the appstofire app, selected those apps to upload then got an error to select setup. I then put in my IP and then was able to upload or transfer the wukong and directv apps to the stick. So you're saying they need to be sideloaded instead of how I'm doing it- I did see an app called fire tv stick side load app somewhere on here- I'll try that when I get in- hopefully this works since the 'appstofire' app didn't - thanks for your help :good:
Uninstall sideloaded apps. Go to playstore and download wukong app on your phone\tablet, lunch it and search for your box IP,select it and will attempt to connect, once connected it will automatically install wukong app on your fire TV. When this is all done you should be able to see the pointer on your screen and navigate through using your preferred type of build in modes ( touchpad, dpad, mouse or keyboard)
Hi not sure what I am doing wrong but once uninstalling the apps from the firestick and downloading the wukong app for 'kodi' instead of any other then launching it and selecting ip, it asks last 2 numbers which I put in and hit search and I get no device found which dosen't make sense. I have unkown sources on and usb degug on set, it tries to initialize but fails and says 1 minute to resolve but goes to a tutorial troubleshoot page without connecting?

Hi I know what you were explainging was a pretty simple, quick access to the application but I seem to be experiencing a problem connecting to it on my firestick. Once installing the app on my phone for example and then trying to access it on the stick, it shows ‘smart tv’ which is checked and ‘my devices’ which has a rectangular green box that is labeled ‘connect’ but not ‘firetv’. When tapping ‘connect', I get ‘initializing’ then failed to initialize showing the troubleshooting page suggesting developer options and usb debugging which are all on. The only other problem that I thought may be the issue was having all connections the same which they are now on the same wifi extender that has the best signal. This didn’t change anything. I then checked the IP address on the firestick which is 192.168.1.12 and it when hitting ‘Input IP to search’, it asks for the last 2 digits but when entering the 12, I quickly get ‘no devices found please try again. I then checked the IP on my tv and found its IP’s last 2 digits are 22 not 12 which I don’t see how I would change these or even if this would be the problem since it is the firestick that I am trying to get recognized. Besides, even though ‘smart tv’ shows up in the ‘New Devices’, Wukong is not functional with the actual tv either. The other suggestion they give was to install the server onto the tv but once copying that fires on to a flash drive then plugging it into my Samsung smart tv, I cant even access the file on the tv.
If you or anyone can shed any light on my situtuation - it would be appreciated

I'm also stuck
When I use Wukong Remote, it doesn't detect my Fire TV. I have ADB debugging and Unknown Source both on. Might there be another setting I am missing so my Firestick can be detected?
I tried searching other threads but cannot figure out if the solution is the same for my problem. I accidentally selected to forget network on my Amazon fire stick and have misplaced the remote control so now I have no idea how to connect to my wifi network using only my phone. Any ideas? I cannot find the device when I open up the app because it is currently disconnected from the wifi. Am I out of luck until I get a replacement remote?
I have a similar issue. I install Kodi and Mobdro on friends and family fire tv sticks but sometimes they do not have the remote and they are on my wifi so i cant use my fire tv remote android app without the wifi turned on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone, sorry my ugly English but I'm using a translator
My Canadian friend gave me an amazon fire TV stick but no remote control. I tried to download universal remote control applications but I can not connect it with my fire tv stick. I plugged the fire stick on the TV and it works but I can not make the settings because I'm without remote control. How can I do? thank you all
P.S. I am in Italy and amazon does not install me amazon fire tv and amazon fire tv remote app
Your Fire TV Stick needs to connect to a the internet to receive any data/commands from a universal remote app. I would recommend asking for your friends WiFi network name and password. Then create a mobile hotspot with the same name and password as your friend's network. The stick will connect and you can then configure the stick to use your own WiFi. If that is not possible a Ethernet to USB OTG adapter could provide the connection but that would require a v2 stick.
I lost my remote and did ot from my phone now my wifi has changed now i cant change the wifi password on the stick
Can you order a replacement remove from Amazon, should you lose it or it breaks?
We should have a replacemet:good:
same problem
I also lost my remote......moved to new spot and have a different wifi.....i purchased a new remote from Amazon.....i have tried everything to get it to pair.......could my fire stick be bad?
This should help has wifi and adb option.

My wifi is down so I can't use the remote. My ADB USB debugging is on so I can't use a USB keyboard. I've connected the Fire TV to my router via ethernet and installed the Amazon app on my Android phone. It sees the Fire TV (displays the correct name), but when I try to connect it spins and returns "cannot connect." Any ideas what to do to get it to connect?
Without access I can't select any menu options, box boots fine, but I would like access again. Also, just FYI, I mentioned this in passing in a more detailed message about not being able to use my gen 2 Fire TV, but thought I should focus on this issue in particular since if I could get it working I can reset it to factory defaults.
Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated!
