Hey guys.
I am trying to mirror the screen of my Galaxy S3 to my google tv ( Vizio Co-Star). I googled and googled but still did not find anything. I know you can mirror it with a samsung tv with share cast but what about google tv?
Thank You.
Greetings, Nvidia Shield TV users have been using the Fire TV slingplayer app since its the best TV version of the app so far. However, the Nvidia shield TV was recently upgraded to Nougat and the app no longer works. Is Fire TV on nougat and can someone please PM me the latest version of the apk, thanks. Your efforts will help many!

FTV(S)'s FireOS 5 is based on Lollipop.
http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-confirmed-to-receive-fire-os-5-based-on-android-lollipop/
The last version of FTV(S)'s Slink APK is v5.0.503. If it's the same you got then it wont make a difference. Let me know if you still need it.

Thanks, its the Slingbox player app for people that own the slingbox appliance not the Sling TV streaming app, if that's what you meant please send, thanks!
Did this work?
If so can you PM me the apk as well?

Awesome, thanks
Anyone else getting the "guide" grayed out in the slingplayer app? Is there any fix to this? Is it just crappy programming on the part of slingbox?

The second link in that quote is the last version released of the "Slingplayer for Fire TV" v3.0.9. The same reviews. That last update is from Jun 28, 2016 with support for FireOS v5.2.1.0. Exactly the same as your link. Even the ASIN # matches.

Thanks. However, I side loaded it and it keeps directing me to the Japanese Fire TV version before I can OK the install. As I dont have a Japanese CC it exits. I will have to think of another work around.

I have the same issue the Guide is grayed out (disabled) within the app, which makes it almost unusable. Anyone else with this issue? And solutions? Thanks!

Figured out that if it doesn't "fully support" certain cable boxes it will wither gray out the Guide and/or PVR options. Personally I'd prefer the option to show the Slingbox overlay guide, rather than trying to leverage the devices native guide, which is too slow and sluggish to be usable.

It's SlingMedia being stupid again. I have two Fire Sticks, a 1st Gen and a 2nd Gen, and a Slingbox 350 with great upload. I used to be able to get all the controls on the 2nd Gen, then Sling "did something" and now like others have stated the only controls I now get are "Quality", "Disconnect" and a couple others but nothing you can use to control the SB with.
But the 1st Gen? Works perfectly, all the controls are there, everything works going to the exact same Slingbox 350. I haven't checked to see if there's a difference between the 1st-Gen and 2nd-Gen's app versions, so maybe that's it. But in any case, SlingMedia has always been kind of ****ty when it comes to support so I don't expect this to ever be fixed.
virtualadam1 : Yhea, I got this problem, as my provider is Videotron in Quebec,Canada. I thing the problem is the country you choose for your slingbox as any of the Canadian provider I try didn't give me access to than ''Guide'' and ''DVR'' option. I have a slingbox 500 connect to a Cisco 8642 box with Videotron but to make all the feature work I need to choose US as a country and 33060 as zip code + Comcast as provider. Now everything work perfectly with FIRE TV only. Any other stick or apps will give me the guide from comcast.
Update: Apparently somehow not being able to see all the remote-control buttons in the Slingbox Player for Fire TV app is an issue with only the 2nd-gen Fire TV Stick; if I run the app (same Amazon account, same SP App version) on a 1st-gen Fire TV Box, a 1st-gen Fire TV stick or the new 4K Fire TV dongle, the buttons all show up.
One other thing to note is that on all the Fire devices that the Slingplayer app works fully on, in "Settings->Display->Scale" you can adjust the picture size for overscan, which is something only the 2nd-Gen Fire Stick, the only one without all the SP buttons, can't adjust (it gives a lame message about "Fix your TV's settings instead", which is useless in places like hotels, or TVs w/o aspect ratio controls or where overscan can't be otherwise be adjusted).
can someone repost valid links pls?
I am using Redmi Note 6 Pro to cast screen to Vu 43" Ultra HD 4K tv. But the wireless display function isn't working. I've observed this problem with my previous devices that are Redmi 4, Redmi Note 5 pro. The only app I've successfully used to cast media is " All Screen (Chromecast, DLNA, Roku, Fire TV) " by Aryabhata Labs which can be downloaded from Play Store.
This app can only cast media to TV not the whole screen itself. I've read at many places about this problem, but there's no solution available for this. I've successfully casted screen of Vivo phone to the same tv. The only problem is with Redmi Series phones. I don't think the problem is at VU TV's end.
Somebody please provide a solution.
Same with me.
as per my knowledge, its the issue with Android version. I could cast seamlessly with MIUI 8&9 versions and Android Marshmallow & Nougat.
My Mi Max which is running MIUI 7 with Marshmallow is connecting Vu TV perfectly.

Does anybody have the solution ?
Hi,
Could u plz explain if u r facing the same problem as me. I have chromecast and am able to cast to my tv but i cannot get fullscreen like when i use my samsung
phone to cast. If u have chromecast have u tried using google home app? While this enables full screen casting in some cases there are many issues in most cases.

I do not have Chromecast. I've only tried casting my android screen to tv.
The reason I ask is because I bought the wrong fire TV, I bought the US version when I should have bought the international version from my country. Mind you some apps work (Netflix, YouTube) in my country but not Prime Video App, is geo restricted.
I've been using the web version of prime video as a walk around but I would very much like to try the apk.
I've downloaded the Prime Video APK for nvidia shield and xiaomi tv but they seem to work a bit sluggish on my fire stick, and it often freezes.
I hope I'm not alone in this situation and someone found some sort of solution.
I have the same issue. I installed the androidTV version which seems to be working fine but the video quality is terrible. Not sure if it is the app or something else. Could not sideload the prime video apk from google app store because it is conflicting with the existing installation.

Where did you download this? I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S and have been looking for a version of Prime Video that works. It's not in my Google Play Store. Perhaps the Nvidia Shield version would work. Thanks
Did you solved this issue?
I bought an Fire TV Stick (1st gen) from UK, now I can't watch anything from Prime Video because I'm in Brazil.
I've downloaded the Prime Video apk from apkpure, but its installation fails, maybe because the stick it's Prime Video version already installed.
After upgrading to Kodi 19.0 Matrix, I had no sound and my video's would crash about 5 - 10 seconds in, or they would stutter badly.
I found that Inputstream.Adaptive in my add-ons was not enabled. I enabled it, and it's all working fine again now.
My TV is a Sony KD-55XE9005 in the U.K.
I'm not sure if this will affect everyone, but I thought I would post it, in case anyone else has the same problem.

Thank you for posting this. I had the same problem on my Sony X900F after it upgraded to KODI 19.0 Matrix. Your post had me looking into the right direction.
I had to install Inputstream FFmpeg Direct add-on found under the VideoPlayer InputStream add-ons. Thanks Again!!
With new kodi update a lot of compatibility issues happened to me, so I downloaded the "18.9 Leia" version, put it on usb, and installed on my sony device. Here's the official link for Kodi 18.9 (Android TV only):
