Hey all. I was wondering if I could watch movies that are on my computer on my fire tv? If so, how do I do this? Thanks.

Im a little confused about xbmc and tv show automation.
what i want to do is for my fire tv with my external hdd hooked to it download new episodes as they are put up and orginize them.
now ive seen things like flexget that can filter and send links to a torrent downloader but it seems you need another computer set up is that the only way to achive this?

I use utorrent on my FTV to download torrents and I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.utorrent.web&hl=en to control it remotely.
Thanks for the reply
What about automation?

I was reading the info page on the new Amazon Fire TV Stick and it says
Download the Fire TV Remote App on your Android device (coming soon to iOS) to instantly search TV shows, movies, actors, and genres using just your voice

Even though the device itself is not out, the above makes it sound like the app is out and available on Android. I lost my remote for the Fire TV and really don't want to shell out another $30 for one. Where can we download this app? I have been using a wireless keyboard, but would prefer to use the app.
Yep, another one searching for it here...
It hasn't been released yet.
Mine is shipping in 2 days, and I still am not finding it in the Amazon Android Appstore, or Google Play. Could it really not be released yet? Anyone have any luck getting this app?
It is out now, search the Google play store

Could someone please upload this app somewhere for those of us who live outside the US?
Thanks

So does the app really already work for the Fire TV?

No. Not until the next firmware update (which apparently will be on or before the 26th).

Thanks :good:
Unfortunately it seems to work only if the Fire TV is on Wifi (makes sense as the app is for the Fire stick) so it won't work with my wires set up.

Works fine for me on Ethernet. Once there is a network connection, it doesn't really care if it's wifi or Ethernet. My firetv is on Ethernet and my phone was on the matching wifi. Are you sure your router isn't doing any kind of separation between the Ethernet and wifi?

Hmmmmmm.......mine doesn't.
Maybe something to do with the software version the FireTV is running? Mine is still on 5.1.1.4.0.

Yes, I've been doing so for a few months now. But I cant use the remote to navigate, have to use Droidmote for that. I wonder if the AndroidTV has a nicer version to use on non touch devices
Which version of play music do you use? I am able to sideload the app but I can not log in. Is your ftv rooted or have you installed Google play services?

Wrong thread... For Q&A Help there is a thread for it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/helpNever mind.. Thought this thread to be mostly about non-store apps. Guess it is for both... My apology @mag13 .

Turns out I was unknowingly correct...
Even though they're apps, they're still threads regarding questions about the apps. Therefore, they belong in the Q&A section

Try that one, you can swipe across your phone, bring up a keyboard, and use the voice search. The keyboard is nice so you don't have to use that pain in the ass aftv onscreen keyboard.
