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.
Could someone upload the official disney junior apk from fire tv and share it? For some reason, I am not able to download this app onto my fire tv.

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/
Hello people, I d love to watch shudder on my fire tv but I can't download it there since I m outside the US. I can already watch it on my phone with a vpn.
The Android apk is telling me the Google services are missing.
The website from Firefox can be started in desktop mode but the player crashes (does anyone know another browser maybe?).
The shudder apk in this forum is too old.
I'd like to try the fire tv apk from the Amazon app store.
I'm on a rooted fire tv 4k
Thanks.
