Is there any accessory to show fire content on TV ?

Is there any way i can show any content of my kindle fire on a TV / Monitor ?
Like Playing angrybirds or, playing a Netflix movie or something.
Thanks

No accessory. You might be able to rig something up using an OTG cable and a USB display adapter, but it would be messy and you'd have to hack it together yourself.
But it is coming. The Fire uses an OMAP4 SoC, which means it will be getting support for WiFi Display:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
The problem is the WiFi Display standard hasn't been finalized. When it is we'll start seeing support from devices like the AppleTV, and Ti will release the necessary drivers. Then we just have to wait for someone like Hashcode to merge them into the kernel.

Shockingly this is something I can actually answer. What you want to broadcast digital content on your TV is a Roku box. It can play all of the digital content that you usually play on your Fire, though your Fire isn't actually a part of the equation at all. It basically just connects your TV to your WiFi signal and plays from there. It does Netflix, Hulu, and others. The top of the line Roku 2 XS comes with Angry Birds.
You won't have any trouble finding it in a search on Amazon.

Actually, this is a separate piece of hardware, that plays its own content, as you said, there is no connection between the ruku box, my TV and my Kindle fire
Thanks tho, i will google it

Limited Airplay Support
There are apps which will beam via Wi-Fi to an AppleTV Box: iMediaShare Mirage and a few others - but there is no screen mirroring for AngryBirds and such - just beaming of local audio and video content. It works REALLY well though for what it is. I can send a 720p MP4 with no skips and it looks great on a 37" set

I think I saw one person saying that they pair their Kindle up with a Google TV. Idk what the functionality of it is though.

Keep FireTV Stick running with TV in stand-by mode? SOLVED!

Hi, I'm facing a problem with my shiny new FireTV stick, preventing it to be used as intended:
I've been using a chromecast stick to listen to online radio streams without problems. That chromecast was connected to a HDMI-audio extractor, comparable to this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013WOLL44/
The audio extractor is connected to the tv (video + audio) and to a stereo amplifier (audio only). That way I can listen to audio streams on my stereo, with the TV in stand-by mode.
When I got myself a FireTV stick about a week ago, I replaced my old chromecast with it. So now the FTVS is connected to the HDMI-audio extractor.
But the FTVS enters sleep mode as soon as I switch the tv into stand-by mode (using the tv remote). So it seems to be impossible to listen to radio streams without the tv switched on.
Is there anything I can do to keep the FTVS running with TV in stand-by? (I even could solder some custom HDMI cable if needed.)
Solution: See post #3!

@spacetaxi
try to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-root-home-launcher-replacement-app-t3118135
and set looong Sleep timeout in FireStarter settings
maybe this help

Problem solved!
@Kramar111 Thanks for your suggestion, but that does not work.
During the last days I did further investigations and came to the following conclusion: It is a hardware feature of the FTV stick to go into sleep mode as soon as the tv is switched to stand-by. Of course that does make a lot of sense if one is using the stick for video streaming. But it does make less sense if one wants to use it for audio streaming...
I've been searching for a method to "hack" the HDMI connection, so the FTV stick does no longer recognize when the TV is switched to stand-by... and I've found a solution!
There is a looong thread on the Microsoft Technet forum regarding a somewhat similar problem with some pc video cards: https://social.technet.microsoft.co...onitor-off-detection-how?forum=w7itprogeneral
I've made two screenshots from that page, so we are able to keep the crucial bits of information, even if that thread may be no longer available someday in the future. This is the problem description from the Technet thread:

And this is the solution that's working for my setup (see post #1), too:

[HELP] Dexon TV - S68AT02 TV Based (MStar Android)

I've been searching the web all week and I cant seem to figure a solution for this TV.
So My TV is called Dexon UH55D24SM 55" (4K) It seems like just another rebranded Mstar TV thats based on S68AT02 Board, very similar to many TCL old TV's in terms of UI and firmware, I cant seem to be able to find an exact match for it though, this brand seem to be specifically made to be sold in the Middle East. Its a very horrible Android knockoff TV that cant access google play store since its outdated, but as a standalone panel it looks fine.
My main issue with it is that I bought a Xiaomi Mi Box S and connected it via HDMI, and I cant put the resolution to 4k60Hz unless I go into the "Dexon TV settings and set HDMI to 2.0 instead of the default 1.4"
and then it would work as 4k60Hz no problem.
But whenever I shutdown the TV or even put it in standby mode it would automatically revert HDMI type to 1.4 which then means I have to manually set it to 2.0 and re-change the resolution on the Mi Box everytime I wanna use the TV.
I tried to follow some guides on the russian forum and here that are based off the TCL TV (that seems to have the same board) to try and fix the google play store but It failed and I didn't processed fearing I might brick the TV and since the TV has literally no information about it online that'll be tough to fix.
The Device Firmware: V8-S68AT02-LF1V131
if you google the firmware, you wont find anyone with the LF1V131, most people have other numbers at the end that are used for TCL TV's.
I honestly dont care about its smart functionality anymore I've got the Mi Box S, I just wanna fix the darn HDMI Type, and wondering if its possible to do if theres a way to modify the firmware or whatever.
(Sorry I cant link anything due to not having enough posts on this account)
I found its remote being sold on amazon that works with 10 billion other TV's (TCL/ Raylan / ACONATIC) the remote is called "RC311FMI4 06-531W53-TY02X"

Hi,
how can I switch HDMI TV output into Full HD 1920x1080 in mirroring mode?
I have tried over ADB shell with "wm size", and it works well.

Any idea?
Many thanks!

I need a little bit more information.
Are you connecting your S20 with USB cable or HDMI cables/adapter or how?
Are you connection the phone to a PC or monitor or what else?
I am using USB cable to connect my S10 with my PC, and Dex seems to handle full hd resolution.

I mean conection by Type-C to HDMI adapter to a TV and DEX switched off.

The resolution when mirroring is set by whatever your phone resolution is set to. Look under your smart view settings as well when connected via USB c to HDMI.

Smart View is only for WiFi, I need it for HDMI cable.

Hacking the Philips Screeneo U4

Hi, I am not sure, whether this is the right position to post for the Screeneo U4 because it is a projector and no TV. So if it is wrong here, sorry for that and the moderators might move it to the right place. But it is running Android TV.
I recently received a Philips Screeneo U4 ultra short throw projector. This projector uses Android TV and I did some research. I thought that somebody might be interested in the results. The screenshots show german Text but the steps should be self explanatory, so I did not change the language of the machine.
The first impression is that they use their own launcher on that machine which hides “normal” Android. But not totally .

If you go to Settings and there to serial number, press OK on the remote five times. Then you find a hidden menu. Once there go to ABDDemo and you will find the standard Android developer options. On my machine they were already activated. Go to USB-Debugging, activate it and you have standard USB-Debugging access with all adb-commands working. I also activated file transfer as standard usb-setting. The projector then shows as maxtv on your computer with the standard directories in the internal storage.
If you transfer an apk-file to InstallableApps it can be installed on the machine with the app-installer in the hidden directory. You could also use adb shell commands for installing.
In that menu you also find an entry called settings which leads to another standard android settings menu. Showing for example Wifi-Settings although there is no Wifi on board.
So far the first research steps. I would be interested whether there are other owners of that projector who know more and would also be interested in suggestions to do deeper research. And might be suggestions for useful software to try.

Hello and thank you for the information, I have connected a key with two apk, IPTV and Kodi in usb but I do not see them, you are talking about ADB shell but how to connect it since there is no integrated wifi or RJ45 network cable, can you help me please?
fabio

Hello,
you have to transfer the files to the Installable Apps directory (see above).
I use the connection to the projector which I have, when connecting an usb-cable to the computer.
Kodi would probably make sense for media on a connected harddisk or stick if Kodi recognizes those. I did not try this. But the installed vlc media player does quiet a good job in playing videos and music.
I do not see the point with IPTV without any Network connection. I did not manage to activate Wifi or ehternet via usb - did you?
