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.
Hi ive just installed xbmc for amazon fire tv. Just wondered if there is away to add apk files inside xbmc. Rather than on sidebar? Also tried adding live tv as it worked well on pc. No success on amazon fire tv yet. Many thanks
I've got IPTV based LIVE TV working on XBMC without a problem, so I'm betting it works.
May i ask how you did it please. Because the way i did it via px wouldnt work on amazon fire tv.
Hello I saw an app before that was used to set upa new fire TV with kodi. I can't find it now can someone help me
Hi guys,
Nice to meet you here.
I am having issue with 3D function .
I am using amazon fire stick 4K with 4K 3D Bravia TV.
3D movie plays smooth on kodi SBS but when I press 3D button on my TV remote to activate the 3D . I don’t see the menu on the screen.
I tried YouTube app on fire stick and same issue
I see an error that says this signal not available.
Am I missing something in the setting of kodi or fire stick ?
Your help and guidance will get appreciated.
Thanks I’m advance

SBS works at an LG TV without problems. I made a action at my Logitech remote to switch to 3D, as long the TV doesn´t do it by himself.
Still searching a solution for framepacked ISO Files...
Can someone share youtube tv app from fire tv?

Is there a reason why you don't want to install Smart YouTube https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/
