Anyone know if the Fire TV has any Miracast support at launch? I saw according to the press release it's coming later this year, but not much information aside from that.

I posted in a long thread before there was a separate forum. I had no luck with Miracast. However, a new alternative has popped up. If you have a 4.4.2 rooted device, you can download Clockworkmod Mirror beta and the receiver app, and you can get similar functionality.
You can try AllCast. It has support for Fire TV now. You will need to sideload the app to your FTV.

My FTV showed up today... I sideloaded the AllCast Receiver and AllCast works good. However mirror doesn't see the FTV at all. 4.4.2 rooted GN3. Never had a device it would work with so I'm not sure if the app is working (didn't support chromecast on my phone).

Allcast is now available in the Fire TV Appstore. No need to side load it.

XBMC and SPMC support Airplay. I have not tested it yet, but will tonight.
Does Miracast work? I've a BlackBerry Q10 and it has Miracast screen mirroring built-in. Wondering if anyone has tried to mirror using Miracast?

Does Airplay Screen Mirroring work? My wife has an iPhone 5s and Macbook. She wants to be able to Airplay from both her iPhone and Macbook (screen mirroring).
How about support for DLNA/Play-to/Play-On ?
Cheers
Hi,
i just received my Fire TV and also tried to connect my Microsoft Surface2 via Miracast with the FTV...which did not work at all. The FTV Box is just not shown as Miracast enabled device. Do I have something to activate first, or is the FTV just not working with Maracas (for now)?
Tanks!
Hello,
I'm using Napster for a long time - and now I hope it will come soon for Fire TV. I've downloaded the napster.apk and installed it with sideload. The app works, but it's not usable with the Fire TV remote ... and I don't want to use a mouse and kayboard on my Fire TV. Do you have any news if Napster is coming for Fire TV?
Greetings

If you don't mind, and are capable of, rooting, you can install droidMote and use your phone as a keyboard/mouse.
Hello,

Hello,
I'Ve buyed today the K400 from my local dealer for only 29€. But I'm not realy happy with that solution ... I need often the FireTV Remote and the Keyboard. I tried to use it with Facebook and Opera ... but ... yeah ... it's not great ... Is there a solution to tweak the usability with the Keyboard?
Hey guys, I have a Fire TV unit, that unfortunately cannot be rooted. I love using it but the 8gb storage limit is almost impossible to work with. So, i went out and bought a Matricom G-Box Q, just so I could use it for Kodi/XBMC. I am wondering, can Fire TV apps work on a regular 4.4 Kitkat Android box and if so, how could the apks be downloaded without them going specifically to the Fire TV box? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Any news on when this might be getting released (not developer release)?
The FireOS-5 has only been released for the FireTV 2nd Gen., but unfortunately for FireTV 1st Gen. is not available yet.
Elias Saba, the AFTVnews moderator, has received his new Fire TV Stick with Voice-Remote and FireOS-5 Pre-installed, and has posted a little review to let us know, what's new and what this new FireOS-5 system update could bring to all existing FireTV Sticks.
Apparently those who ordered the new FireTV Stick bundle will get these changes first, but an update to FireOS-5 for existing devices is on the horizon and should arrive soon in the next weeks!

http://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-sti...le-ships-with-latest-fire-os-5-pre-installed/
Is there a updated settings.apk for this version?
Idk what amazon is doing right now, seems like they are having trouble with their update to android OS 5. Their still having issues with audio output on the new fire TV 4k, so it must be the same with the fire tv. Hopefully they clean up these bugs soon because its taking them too long now IMHO.
Elias Saba, AFTVnews Moderator, has informed to all Amazon FireTV-Sticks users:
"A new software update for the*Fire TV Sticks with Voice Remote*bundle is upon us. This update does not appear to be arriving on older Fire TV Sticks that were sold with non-voice remotes, since Amazon is still updating these two bundlesseparately.*"
"No word yet on when older Fire TV Sticks and the 1st-gen Fire TV will receive the upcoming update to Fire OS 5, but I’m told a 5.0.4 update is currently scheduled for early December, so hopefully that will go out to all Fire TV models."

If you buy a new stick with the voice remote I believe that this comes with FireOS 5.

The problems with Hulu are supposedly solved with OS 5, so I REALLY would like it release ASAP.
Dear xda community,
I bought an amazon key from Germany few days ago and I get a 5505 error issue linked to the country zone.
Indeed, my amazon prime video account is in the French store.
Do you know any trick to workaround the problem.:highfive:
If not, just let me know if someone else encountered the same issue.
Thx

Got the same trouble with an Amazon fire stick hd from UK in france
The trick is to launch video from the smartphone and share to fire device, then the remote works to view next episode...
Hello everyone, quick revival of the topic. How do you share the video to the fire device ? I can launch the video on both my mobile and my tablet but I cannot share it to the fire tv stick. THanks in advance for the help.

Cast it with an app like allcast - the main app installs on phone & the receiver app on firestick
Or
Create a media server on your pc using something like bubbleupnp alongside kodi & then access the media server on the firestick with bubbleupnp app although this is for advanced users
Hi TheFixItMan, thanks for the trick, I'll try that tonight.
