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?
Definitely solved
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.

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

Can you use an external Player with the app? Is there a share button in the app to share the stream? If so either use an external player like Wondershare Player, which can cast media to other devices, or share the video with Wondershare Player or Playto and cast the videos to you Fire TV. There are other players that cast mdia, but I prefer Wondershare and Playto. EDIT: I just installed the official BT Sport app and it opens, but I do not have an account to log in, so all I get is the BT Sport background and a login form. I got it from 1Mobile Market. Just install 1Mobile Market on your Fire TV and install the BT Sport app from there.
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?
(General question to choose between firestick and chromecast 2)
My main need is to be able to
1) stream/cast music and movies from both Android smartphone and Windows 10/Linux(Ubuntu) to the firestick or chromecast WITHOUT NEED OF ACTIVE INTERNET CONNECTION PREFERABLY . I have my music collection mainly in my android smartphone. i want to cast directly from music player/YouTube/soundcloud or through any other music app directly to firestick or chromecast and same for videos too with proper audio sync and no lag.
2) Able to screen mirror the smartphone/Windows 10/Linux(Ubuntu) to the firestick or chromecast without lags or frame rate drop or out of sync video.
3) To be able to connect Bluetooth headphones so i can listen to audio wirelessly through headphones and video on TV, where content is being played by firestick or chromecast through desktop or android smartphone.
4) Can connect external USB devices such as wirelss mouse,usb drive (can be accomplished on firestick with usb host otg as saw on a youtube video for ver.2 of firestick- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vSwYeJd5fI)
5) Able to use JioTV/JioCinema/HotStar by out of the box or by some mod or something.
i am confused between two.
Currently the amazon firestick is available on amazon for just 2900 with offers and Chromecast for just rs.1800 from flipkart with offers.
so about Rs.1000 price difference roughly.
What should i choose ?
Please reply ASAP as the sale ends on 16th may and so will be the cheap offers.
BUMP !
what about a miracast dongle? cheap and you can stream from win10 and android devices
but back to your question.
chromecast is not as good as a miracast dongle (both are just able to stream. chromecast you´ll need internet, miracast you won´t).
firetvstick should fit the most of your needs but only a few. you should be good with a fire tv box.

go with fire stick as it is better or spend a little more for mi box 3 to get best of both
Fire TV has out of the box support for most streaming services and otherwise it supports Android TV and phone apps. You can use AirPin to get AirPlay support for audio and video. Other apps like AirScreen have options for Chromecast and Miracast but neither worked when I tried them out for a short while. However, the Fire Stick is grossly underpowered to run background services while ensuring a smooth interface. I imported the AFTV3 though Amazon only sells the Fire TV Stick locally. The Fire TV box was too expensive when imported and I needed 4K at 60 FPS with no gaming requirement.
Chromecast is good enough for mirroring from Chrome and casting apps but requires a working WiFi connection to operate. Moreover, it can be extremely laggy when mirroring high definition content depending on local WiFi network and the streaming device. Another thing to note is that content protected apps block any sort of mirroring and hence Chromecast might not work even when mirroring the entire Android device.
The best offline wireless solutions I had researched in the past that worked with almost all phones and Windows was the Screenbeam Mini 2 as it is Miracast and WiDi certified, but I suppose you will have to import that as well at a higher price.
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
