Does the Kindle Fire 2 HDMI out over MHL Cable ?
Although Kindle Fire HD 8.9" has a separated mini-hdmi port, I am curious to know if it supports video output from its usb port. I have one usb2vga (usb2hdmi) adapter and if it is not absolutely necessary, I don't want to buy a minihdmi2vga adapter. I wonder if anybody tried.
Sorry for the badly worded title, but I can't figure out how to describe the problem. Here is what's happening:
I have my Fire tv stick on hdmi 1, and my raspberry pi 2 running openelec/kodi on hdmi 2.
When I try to switch to hdmi 1, the screen goes blank for about 3 seconds then switches back to hdmi 2 on its own. If I turn off my rpi2 (by unplugging its power) and then try to switch to hdmi 1, it will stay on hdmi 1 and I can watch my fire tv stick normally. As soon as I turn the rpi2 back on, the tv switches to hdmi 2 (or whichever hdmi port I have the rpi2 plugged into).
I am pretty sure the problem is with the fire tv stick and not with the rpi2, because I have other devices on other hdmi ports and they don't have any problems. I have already tried switching all my devices to different hdmi ports and it doesn't make a difference, the fire stick will always switch back to the rpi2's hdmi port as long as the rpi2 is on.
Anyone have any ideas? I have already looked through all the settings on kodi to see if it does something funny that would interfere with the fire stick but didn't notice anything.
Yeah, your title is pretty misleading. I thought your FireTV stick was falling out of the HDMI port.
Maybe change the topic title to "Fire TV Stick is disabled when another TV HDMI port is used".
Anyways, I would be willing to bet your paycheck that your problem is a poor power grounding issue on your Raspberry Pi. You may need to put a Cheater Plug on the Raspberry Pi power supply, or on your TV. Or, if there isn't a ground pin on your Raspberry Pi supply, you may need to flip the power supply plug 180 degrees in the outlet. Or, if you have a UPS back-up supply powering anything, you will need to have all the equipment connected to the UPS, or none of the equipment.
Something like that.
I have two Fire TV2 boxes. Both the ethernet plugins on them do not work.
I see on Ebay they have USB ethernet adapters that have a network card inside the adapter.
Will this work on my Fire TV2 ?
I ordered one to test but will take weeks to come.
Any info appreciated.
Hi , I would like to expand my fire tv stick 4k memory with an external hard drive (WD elements 1tb) and also connect an ethernet cable. Wich hub should I buy ?
I wish someone could help me choosing models or brands. Is it a powered hub the best option ? I have a small budget but I dont want to burn my fire stick.Thanks !!
