Is there any way to set up the Fire TV as a Chromecast RECEIVER so I don't have to use both my Chromecast and the Fire TV?
NOTE: As of update 51.1.4.0_user_514006420, there is now a "display mirroring" option. This allows casting from any device that supports Miracast - I wish it supported Chromecast as well, but it's better than nothing.

I have not used it, I use AllCast for Fire TV instead.
I am really looking for a way to get apps that officially support Chromecast to get to my Fire TV. I have used allcast, but that only seems to stream photos and videos from within the AllCast app. That Spark app looks cool anyway though. I'd like to see how that is. Thanks!
I just realized that in the YouTube app on Android, you can "cast" to Fire TV. I didn't realize that! That seems to be the only app that supports it though. Other apps do not show my Fire TV when I tap the "cast" icon. Those apps on the Fire TV must have to specifially code for that...unless someone can trick the Fire TV into thinking it's a Chromecast!

Push.
Got it for christmas and thought this feature would be already in it.
I wanna use the cast button in apps.
Any ideas
Yes, by now, please refer to this thread for free trial of YouMap cast receiver:

Does anyone know where I can find the apk download for the paid version of Youmap that works on Amazon Fire TV stick?
The app was taken off the Amazon App Store, so I was wondering if I purchased the $9.99 app from the Google Play Store, would that apk work on the Fire TV?
Thanks.

That app was removed by amazon at the request of google (theres a story to that) but in a nutshell no chromecast for aftv. I believe the app will only work till the end of 2015 and you cant buy it anymore.
I was lucky and bought nexus player for $25 at target. Chromecast works perfectly with no fuss but id like a better solution for aftv.
Has anyone successfully gotten these to work with FireTV? Is a mouse required?
Does anyone know why there is an app for Roku but not FireTV? I tried sideloading the app but it doesn't work as you need a mouse to navigate it I guess.
Hi
I have a 55pus7303 Philips tv running Oreo.
I have aptitude and side loader installed.
I cannot find the correct apks for some apps, all the ones I try seem to be for android phone and display on the side.
Any one have a link to itv hub or all 4 smart tv apks?
Thabks
Bump. Also looking for an Android TV version of ITV Hub

I’ve sorted the orientation issue, but the apk is for touch not remote, so can’t even use a mouse/buttons....
One wonders why they haven't managed to produce an app for Android TV yet. Amazon got em by the balls or something?

Has anybody looked into a workarround to enable the Sky Go apk to work on Amazon Fire TV Devices?
The app can be installed on Amazon Tablets and other Tablets/Phones and work fine however when it comes to Amazon TV devices it gives an error.
I assume this is due to some sort of Licencing issue or DRM - but it would be nice for those who have it to still use it.
Which brings me arround to the first question, has anybody looked into tweaking the Amazon Fire TV to allow the app to work?
Edit: It is worth noting the German version has been patched before <https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-no-root-skygo-for-fire-tv.3776919/> but Im specifically talking the UK version.
