my wife would like to connect to my music library. is it possible to add her gmail/google account to my google music library. basically, i would like both our phones to connect to the same music library through google music. it would a lot easier if we only need to manage one library on one home computer. is that possible?

While I have not tested this, I know when you open the music app for the first time it asks you to select an existing account or add another. You could try adding yours on her phone via this method and see what happens. Keep in mind though that you can only stream from one device at a time.

Hi,
I'm having some difficulty suddently with my rooted FireTV. As some background, I live in Canada but have the FireTV using a USA IP via a VPN.
When I use the Amazon UI and go down to the "Featured Apps" section and choose Netflix, I get a login screen for the Amazon App Store, with my name, and a button saying "Continue". But the screen is frozen--I have no way of selecting anything or backing out of anything. After a few seconds, the screen disappears and I'm taken back to the Featured Apps list, with Netflix still highlighted.
However, if I go down to the "Apps" section and simply select Netflix from the list, it works flawlessly and without a problem.
It's almost like something's gotten corrupted somehow. Is there any way to get Netflix to work in the Featured Apps section?
was wondering if Pushbullet had the ability to push notifications to a FireTV, I installed the app fine from the play store using market enabler, but there is no notifcaion option to enable (even after installing settings.apk) there is no android notification API on the FireTV, but I DO know that the FireTV supports toast notifications. Is there anything I can do to push my phone notifications to my Rooted / Kodi'd FireTV? It doesn't have to be pushbullet
GOT IT.
Install Pushbullet on your Android PHONE
Install "Notifications for Fire TV" on your PHONE HERE:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cyberdream.firenotifications.google&hl=en (additional in-app purchase may be required)
From FIRE TV: go to Amazon App Store and install "Notifications for Fire TV"
once everything is set up if you push a image or link from pushbullet, if it appears on your phone.., you will see that It will also show up on the Fire TV!
If you have XBMC/Kodi installed just install the Pushbullet addon and all you notifications will be displayed inside XBMC/Kodi. If you install the Pushbullet addon for XBMC/Kodi make sure you go to your program addons and edit the Pushbullet setting. Set it to interupt or media will not start playing til other media has stopped, also set media to play instantly. To recieve your Android notifications there is no setup inside XBMC/Kodi, it does it automatically if the Pushbullet app on your phone is set to push mobile notifications. You can also set the amount of time that you want the noticfications to be displayed on the screen. The Pushbullet addon for XBMC/Kodi is a requirement for me. Probably the best addon of the past year.
I am trying to tinker around with some DLNA playback.. And not having it work..
I installed uPnP inspector, on my desktop.. Both my devices are right there.. But youtube has no 'cast to' icon which I thought it was supposed to have if DLNA was activated. I have a few other DLNA comnpatible players who also dont seem to be picking up any of my FireTvs
Do I need to add a DLNA client to (each of) the box or should this work by default ??
PlayTo is a good app for sending videos. An alternative that I prefer is Pushbullet. If you have XBMC/Kodi installed, install the Pushbullt addon and authorize it. It uses your Gmail account to send all files to your devices. You use your Gmail to log in also. After installing the addon, go to your program addons and edit the setting of the Pushbullet addon. You will want to set it to interrupt or media will not play til other media has stopped, and you will want to set it to play everything immediatly. I prefer Pushbullet over DLNA, cause you do not have to be worried about being connected to the same network. You can send several differnt types of things with Pushbullet, you can even send browser urls, which means if you are watching a video on one of your devices, you send the url to Kodi and the video will play on the Fire TV. Does not work for all video site, but it works for a lot of sites. BTW, you can find the pushbullet addon in services on Kodi, and it creates a UI in the program addons. So go to Setting, Addons, Get addons, All, Services and you will find it there.

I will give it a look but I am specifically trying to get DNLA working for a few video apps that should 'see' my boxes easily.. Popcorn time should give me a watch to button from my phone tablet or ipad..
Theres a spread of these.. iPlayer.. Etc.. Not all being inside kodi..
Really I just want a chromecast app.. but filing that DLNA should be the same.. Just it says DNLA is already built in, but my boxes while visible on the network, are not generating a watch to output location on any dlna enabled apps.
I told you that you need an app to send from your phone and I also told you that XBMC/Kodi was a good reciever app to recieve media. Also, Popcorn Time has a setting to use external players to send media to other devices. Just look in the list of players and install one. I recommend installing Playto and Wondershare player on you Android device to use as a sender, and simply using XBMC/Kodi on your Fire TV as the reciever. There is a setting in Kodi to turn on UPNP, turn it on and when you play videos in Wondershare or Playto on your Android device it will let you send the media to Kodi on your Fire TV. Playto is good for sending media, cause any app that has a share button can be shared with Playto and used to send videos etc. Say you are using the youtube app and wanna send a video to your Fire TV, click the share button, pick Playto, and when the video starts playing click the yellow play button and it will start playing on your Fire TV through Kodi. Of course you need an app to communicate with other devices, cause the device cannot do it on its own. Example, you have wifi, but how are you supposed to connect if there isn't a settings app to show you connections? Your device has DLNA/UPNP, but how can you use it without an app telling you where to send and recieve content? There has to be software to run the hardware. Think of it like a car, if you put it in drive where is it gonna go without the driver? The driver is the software the car is the hardware.
I got this box last week it's loaded with Android 10.0 It's connected to the internet Via ethernet and it works for the most part but I can not log into the play store I can't log into google to check my mail after a long pause I get a message something went wrong. for some reason something is blocking logging into anything google. I have all the permission I can find toggled to on for anything related to google and still no luck looking for a life line the box is pretty useless with out adding the app's I want. thank you in advance.
I have the same problem.
T95 Android tv box google play issue " Work around"
I had the same problem with this play store on this android box . My work around I found a website that has older apk's like gmail and the other apps i would normally use , I would use my laptop or cell phone to down load the apps I wanted I even was able to install Kodi 18.9 leia The aptoid app store. Also you can find older app versions of most of your Google full playstore apps yes that includes your Gmail app Step 1 to use this work around you will need a usb drive to copy the files from your laptop computer or desk top to then step 2 go to your files folder after you plugin your Usb drive on your T-95 android box and open your Usb drive find your files you copied from your laptop or desktop and install them, This box is great for zoom meetings too after you have Zoom installed on it all you have to do is plugin your web cam with a microphone and it shoulkd work. enjoy hope this was helpful to you
