I've debloated and installed google stuff on my new Fire 7 (9th gen) using the Fire Toolbox. Everything is working as expected but for some reason I can't get IPTV Smarters Pro to play a stream. Is this a known issue? Something to do with codecs or DRM perhaps?
Suggestions welcome as i've searched here and elsewhere with no luck on this specific issue.
Gracias

Hey,
I was wondering if technically will the Kindle Fire (1st Gen) ever be able to support Miracast.
For those that don't know, Miracast was added to Android 4.2 for the Nexus 7/10, and is a response to AirPlay.
I know it will take a while for Android 4.2 to be ported to the Kindle Fire (1st Gen), but I am curious if anyone knows if any Hardware constraint, mainly the GPU, will stop our wonderful Fires from having this feature.
If not, this might finally push me over the edge to buy a Nexus 7.
Thanks!
Wait for Android 4.2 to get realsed and then see.
Sorry for bump this old theme and my poor english... but... i recently flashed the ROM CM11.0/SGT7 in the hope that there appear miracast and i can use my KF with PTV3000. To my great regret the tablet cant see miracast adapter :crying:
Reading some forums i noticed that the problem could be in the CM11... maybe somebody know any ROMs where mirasat is working or some fix for CM11?
Chromecast
I have have Chromecast but some apps is not compatible on KF 1 stock ROM.
Chromecast is better the Miracast.
install web video caster on it..parse error ..using android phone to cast web video html on chrome browser.
I will installs CM11 on rooted KF ! later
I found out, of the amazing power of XBMC and I found out it's been ported to multiple platforms such as Android, OUYA and recently the Fire TV. I want a box that I can use XBMC on my TV to use apps for streaming like (identities of apps have been changed) SmashDown, FireFilms,MovieY2K, SportsDemon (LIVE Streaming) and that one that has XBMC in the name that you can use for torrents and more.
My question is...if I want to use this box for internet streaming and such..which would be the best?
IF I bought a Fire TV? would it come with the unrootable update? (I don't want a Fire TV if I can't root it) what's your thoughts about XBMC on OUYA? At Least I wouldn't have any issues blocking update servers on my router as OUYA doesn't mind rooting....right..?
Which one would be more powerful in streaming? or are they equally matched?
any feedback would be appreciated
go for fire tv. I have switched from a cheap chinese android tv stick and the difference is huge. i mainly use xbmc for streaming tv shows and movies and it runs beautifully.
you can find all the information about rooting here http://www.aftvnews.com/tag/guide/
read through and make sure you are comfortable with the procedure before purchasing fire tv.
Go Fire TV!
A rooted Fire TV with a dedicated XBMC/Kodi Launcher with access to the KFTV Launcher and Amazon content is an outright beast. I could not be happier with the Fire TV after ditching that antiquated Roku platform.
Hmm... Well would it come out of the box if I bought one now with the unrootable update?.. Is it that hard to block update servers?
Not getting a response from the OUYA community so it's looking like a fire TV (if I can root it)

Only one way to find out.

Grab a Fire TV from either Amazon, Best Buy or Staples and give it a try following the AFTVnews guide regarding root and blocking the update. Nothing to lose except time as you are free to return it within 30 days.
It seems that a war of android boxes is coming soon! I bought an Amazon Fire TV and I'm very happy with it.
Android TV shall be available soon this year and also there is another device
http://www.slashgear.com/tronsmart-orion-r28-android-tv-box-supports-4k-28343314/
I believe that we shall be many flavors later on to choose, but to tell you the truth? I'd go with something very related to Google that is Android TV, They always have the best support, also shall come with Android L OS
As an owner of BOTH, I can tell you the AFTV is a b_tch to deal with (not that Ouya is friendly by any means, but nowhere near AFTV). Incompatible apps, kooky app install procedure, draconian checks for apps by Amazon so I can't even install the YouTube for AFTV (which I OWN), etc.
For me the deciding factor was Netflix HD with DD+...if that is not your thing or you don't have Prime, go for Ouya and save some money and hassle in the process.
Hope this helps.
For what it's worth, I just ordered a fire tv from amazon last thursday that came with the original firmware....

Uhm... I plan to just use it with rooted XBMC / kodi launcher to stream videos from different live streaming add-ons... How about that?

Ouya removed alt-launchers support a few updates back.
You can fix this by renaming the ouyalauncher.apk/odex files to .old(or remove the files all together), then installing a version of the ouyalauncher.apk that still supports alt-launchers. I.E. the ouyalauncher.apk from an older update.
It's a bit of a hassle.

Wow...
**** move for a struggling console. It's looking more like a fire TV for me. I'm scared of by the time I get one it's going to be bundled with the unrootable update

Just got rid of my ouya and replaced it with fire tv. Love it.
Any news on when this might be getting released (not developer release)?
The FireOS-5 has only been released for the FireTV 2nd Gen., but unfortunately for FireTV 1st Gen. is not available yet.
Elias Saba, the AFTVnews moderator, has received his new Fire TV Stick with Voice-Remote and FireOS-5 Pre-installed, and has posted a little review to let us know, what's new and what this new FireOS-5 system update could bring to all existing FireTV Sticks.
Apparently those who ordered the new FireTV Stick bundle will get these changes first, but an update to FireOS-5 for existing devices is on the horizon and should arrive soon in the next weeks!

http://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-sti...le-ships-with-latest-fire-os-5-pre-installed/
Is there a updated settings.apk for this version?
Idk what amazon is doing right now, seems like they are having trouble with their update to android OS 5. Their still having issues with audio output on the new fire TV 4k, so it must be the same with the fire tv. Hopefully they clean up these bugs soon because its taking them too long now IMHO.
Elias Saba, AFTVnews Moderator, has informed to all Amazon FireTV-Sticks users:
"A new software update for the*Fire TV Sticks with Voice Remote*bundle is upon us. This update does not appear to be arriving on older Fire TV Sticks that were sold with non-voice remotes, since Amazon is still updating these two bundlesseparately.*"
"No word yet on when older Fire TV Sticks and the 1st-gen Fire TV will receive the upcoming update to Fire OS 5, but I’m told a 5.0.4 update is currently scheduled for early December, so hopefully that will go out to all Fire TV models."

If you buy a new stick with the voice remote I believe that this comes with FireOS 5.

Yeah I watched aftvnews podcast talking about that, I've enabled the dev preview for now no problems so far was a tad slow so I factory reset and started fresh

The problems with Hulu are supposedly solved with OS 5, so I REALLY would like it release ASAP.
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.
