yes i have. I have to use my logitech revue keyboard to fully use it though. the amazon remote doesn't play nice with it.
Sopcast also works. Im going to have a go loading acestreams into xbmc on the weekend, fingers crossed that plays nicely.

I'm guessing your fire is connected via wifi? I just tried and I get an error "No Wi-Fi Connection You must be on Wi-Fi to stream video content". I'm connected via the ethernet port.

I think it is a left over restriction from older cell streaming quality and data limits. The apps are told to look for WiFi only and I don't think the devs bother to even consider a wired option because they mainly concentrate on phones. I was able to turn on USB Ethernet on the Visual Land 7D and a tone of games and apps couldn't see it and would ask for Wifi including Play.

I was able to sideload Acestreams and it installs as a separate app, but I was not able to make it work with XBMC. Let us know if you get it to work.

Thanks! Also, could you please indicate, how you played the link from XBMC? I tried to open an Acestream link from SportsDevil but it did not work for me.
I got Acestreams to work inside of xbmc on ouya with p2p addon but it kept crashing the Acestream on the play store wants to update so that one never connected however I installed the latest version of the APK and it worked for a day then all of a sudden the Acestream Engine app was crashing immediately on open and was bugging out my XBMC so I had to uninstall. If anyone finds a good version that will not try to update and is let me know Thanks

Maybe you can try to connect to a Wi-Fi network that doesn't necessarily have internet like a router plugged into wall only, then have both Ethernet and Wi-Fi both connected to Amazon fire.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
So does the app work pretty well with keyboard and mouse good quality etc?
Any update on this now that the firetv has been rooted? Or has anyone modified the app yet?
If this was iOS it would be easy to solve as there are a half dozen tweaks to fool apps into thinking your on wifi. Surely there must be something similar on Android.
I'll check when I get home.

Why not use the XPOSED module and give it a try: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.lemonsqueeze.fakewificonnection

Ah, so something does exist! I'm completely new to Android so my knowledge of Android tweaks is limited.
I will give a try.
I side loaded the Xfinity app before root and it works "ok". Using a mele pro air mouse, I can get around the app pretty well. The only thing I notice, which I think I read someone on here before, is that there is some frame rate issues. The video doesnt seem to be 100% smooth, especially on live tv.
Anyone else notice this?

Well I can confirm the xposed fake wifi module works with the xfinity app to trick it to work over the lan. However with that module activated there is some weird stuff going on with the firetv gui, it bounces around the menu a bit. If I select say prime video it'll jump down to music, it's pretty weird.
Hi all, I just got a Fire Phone since they're so cheap and have set it up with 4.6.3 and google play, most things seem to be working fine, but I am having some issues with my chromecast. Most apps seem to work Youtube, Beyondpod, Crunchyroll, Play Music and the Chromecast cast screen all work just fine, but Netflix doesn't seem to recognize anything besides my roommates Fire Stick, and Hulu doesn't display the cast icon at all!
Netflix and Hulu are my two most used casting apps so losing them would be a big loss, has anyone else had issues or know of a workaround?
I was having a similar issue. I couldn't find anything on fixing it so I ended up just flashing CM11.
---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------
To clarify: I'm on the 9/30 build. All casting works fine. They fixed the camera app (HDR still doesn't work) but you're still missing NFC. The mute button during calls doesn't work but there are some work arounds.
Tried using Netflix from the Google Play store rather than the Amazon App Store version? I have no issues casting to my Chromecast or my Mircast enabled TV.
I am facing the same issue with my prime video , even when I cast the screen I get the audio and the menu items around the video on the TV but the actual video still plays on the mobile.
I got so bored of it that I ordered a Fire Stick yesterday " I am planing to get a new TV so this one will go to the bedroom along with the Chromecast and Fire Stick and Apple TV will stay with the new TV)
I live in UAE so accessing the prime is a bit tricky without a paid DNS provider , so my plan is
1. Connect to VPN using Unlimited Free VPN
2. Start a download
3. Disconnect the VPN to maintain a good speed
4. Cast the download to Fire Stick
I already do the above, but on the phone without casting it.
the thing that didn't work for me with is Google Music, I couldn't find the button to cast to Chromecast ( I downloaded the Google Music app through apkmirror as it's not available in my region)

Does the camera work with other apps like mobile banking check deposit, or snapchat and instagram? Not being able to use the camera with those apps is the main reason I've chosen not to use CM.

There is no workaround, it probably sees the phone as Amazon Fire and blocks it from being able to see the chromecast icon. Flash a new ROM. You almost never use Chromecast on any Amazon Fire * device with Hulu or Netflix.

No other apps give me problems casting. I flashed CM11 (9/30 build) and everything was working fine but as of lately Hulu Plus' casting feature is intermittent. Its there and I can successfully cast something. Then later on, its missing for no reason.

Hulu is just bad in general at times (probably lazy dev's not wanting to full fix Chromecast connection), that and HBO GO. It sometimes disconnects even on my Note 3 and LG pad and you can't do nothing but relaunch the app and find a way to kill the streaming.
Amazon youtube app signin is blocked when I try to activate it using the pin on my pc. It said account has been blocked due to copyright violation but youtube is still working on google tablets and pc. Anyone besides me having this problem?
Nope. Works fine here on my AFTV2 with latest update.
I also recieved the same error

Your account was closed because, someone who you claim wasn't you, viewed something someone else posted that subsequently got taken down?
That's not really plausible.

In fact, it's impossible. Somebody's lying...
Try it for yourself if you don't believe me. She was watching "Two Fat Ladies" and "Justin Wilson" cooking shows and Google deactivated the Fire TV. I bought the 2015 Fire TV, didn't like it so gave it to my sister. Bought a Google TV box for me, never will buy another Amazon device.
Just to be clear the Fire TV device was deactivated not my youtube account. I made her a gmail account and linked it to the Fire TV and all is well.

After kodi was removed from your Amazon account unregister your firetv, then register it back and sync.

I think Amazon have made it so kodi doesn't appear.
When I press showbox, it also doesn't open.
I think Amazon have done this on purpose.

After removing kodi from Purchased Apps in your Amazon Account you have to sign out form linked Amazon account on your fitetv unit, re-sing back in and then sync.

As for me, it worked without re-sign. Just del Kodi and Sync.
Now that blocking updates in the router no longer works, what is the best way to block updates so I don't have to deal with the next one?
Amazon must've changed something because kodi (and other apps) now appears in my recent stuff on the main section (not apps)
This might help- I installed SPMC and it shows perfectly
Just got a new AFTV from Best Buy. I've tried every way I can find on the interwebz(XDA, youtube, reddit) to get the xfinity app onto the box, but none work. I root and ROM all my phones so I'm reasonably savvy enough to tinker, but can't get this one to work. Is it because there is no current way to root and rom the newer version of AFTV?
I've tried many different versions of many different APKs
Some don't install at all.
Some install, but crash as soon as they are launched
Some install, and launch, but give a "not connected to the internet" error once I enter my xfinity credentials
Also tried several different Kodi repositories and I get the "can't connect error"
Is it possible to get Xfinity on the most current AFTV? The main reason I got an AFTV was so I had a reliable box I could sideload apps AND put xfinity on? Roku has xfinity, but can't sideload apps. I have other more powerful devices for high-end media and netflix. Should I just get one of the cheap $50 android boxes?
