Has anyone repurposed their FireTV (stick or box) to something other than a media player? Like a VPN router or a web server?
I have a Toshiba Fire TV now and 4 or 5 rooted fire tv sitting around doing nothing so I figured I'd ask
Thanks

Hello.
I used a WD TV Live to stream my music from my Desktop-PC or from my Surface RT. In the WMP 12 i could use the "Play-To"-Function to stream it to my WD TV Live which was connected to my HiFi-System.
I could also use the WD TV Live as wireless Display (Miracast). In Windows 8.1 on my Laptop I could choose the project option to duplicate the screen.
So now i got an Amazon Fire TV and i want to do the same, but for now i cannot find the devices. Do i have to set and option or do i have to install an app on the Fire TV? I would like to avoid using another programm on my desktop pc etc., but i would pay for an app that is necessary on the Fire TV.
So i hope you can help me ...
greets. moe

Hi guys, I just got a Fire TV Stick from Amazon.in, but I am facing an issue with prime video contents. I am getting US library in my Fire TV and I am from India.
So, when ever I am trying to stream I am getting a message We're unable to complete your request.... and there is only an OK button.
Only way I can stream is from the Prime Video android app with the option to play on Fire TV Stick.
All the other streaming apps working fine though. I used to stream contents from US and UK using Smart DNS on my PC, is it happening because of this??
And, also there is no active VPN or Smart DNS proxy on the router. Can anybody help me out with this?
Hello,
Having problem with dlna on fire tv 4k max. Everything work perfect, and them just stop. Mine smart tv see dlna server, but fire tv dont. I was using VLC. Anybody have idea?

Connect Firestick with router’s one band. Connect your media server with router’s second band. I mean they should be connected with separate bands,and enjoy.
always set screensaver never.
