i have an amazon prime account... how do i get it to work on the kindle fire hdx 7???
Prime Music
Once you install the latest firmware you then have to leave it connected to the internet and Prime Music will install later. It took my HDX about 4 hours to install.

you cant do bluetooth device-pairing with stock rom (you can only do accesory-device pairing)
i havent tried WIFI, i suppose it should work...
I cannot find anything about connecting the HDX 8.9" to my PS3 do to the mirror or second screen. Mayday was no help either, they had no idea.
Please help!
You have to have the kindle and ps3 on the same network and the amazon app open on the ps3

Thankyou, I will check it out in a few. I had updated the PS3 and went thru every setting, and couldn't find anything. I don't use the PS3, as I am a PC man.
I can't find any apps on the ps3 other than the Amazon prime one and that doesn't do it.
You can side load AllCast.apk it works on any upnp device. I can stream movies from my HDX 7 to my roku just fine. video and sound play great.

Was able to get the PS3 to work, using the method that murso74 said, but the stupid thing pauses every two - three minutes, and you have to hit play to get it to go again.
As for the Allcast, it is in a timed beta, that has no working links, and you have to subscribe to their Google+ account, and even then you cannot get it.
So, does anyone know how to get a HBO Go app on the Kindle Fire HDX that actually has the casting option for Chromecast? I tried side-loading a few APK's I found on Google but they are all no different than the Kindle version when they get installed and loaded up. This is driving me crazy.

Actually, most of the apk's you find that ARE NOT kindle versions, can be quite different. They can be anywhere from one to a dozen versions NEWER.
I installed the Chromecast app. Installed the latest versions of Netflix, Hulu+ & HBO Go from the Play Store & after using Chromecast app to find the Chromecast device, all of them have the "Cast" button available.

So your device is rooted then? (Since you have Play Store). I wonder if that makes a big difference. I have not installed the Chromecast App on the Kindle yet just HBO Go and it has no cast button. Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube all have it though.
Not here....
Netflix works fine with the sideloaded Chromecast apk here on on my unrooted HDX 7
Even works with Hola.
So I recently replaced my hdx 7 with a nexus 7 because I needed otg capabilities. But now I'm really missing being able to play my amazon prime instant videos. Is there any way the video player apk can be ripped out and ported like was done with the HD in GB days?

No. Specific DRM & DHCP limitations prevent this. There are only 3 ways to get AVOD on a tablet. 1. Buy an iPad. 2. Buy a Kindle. 3. buy an Andorid tablet with Android version 4.2 or EARLIER (Chromium webkit kills Flash for good).
After installing Lineage OS on my HDX 7 I have problems with some apps. I wasn't able to download Netflix from Play Store for example. I solved that by using an apk from Fire OS.
I cannot install Kindle Reader either, but since Kindle is part of the Fire system the Netflix solution does not work.
Is there a way to install Kindle Reader on a Fire with Lineage OS? Is there an apk that works?

Official Android Kindle app is available in the Play Store. Serviceable, but less full featured than FireOS version that will not run on custom ROMs. Amazon saves the best for their own devices/os.
Compatible Netflix app can be downloaded from numerous sources including official Netflix support pages. Issue here is Play Store device certification as newer Netflix app builds can download content. You'll either have to live with limitations of older builds or view content is a browser window.
Twiddling with device fingerprints can yield limited benefits but it is a cat and mouse game at best. I rarely use HDX devices for streaming content; the high resolution panel is better suited to textual content consumption.
Good luck.
