I recently bought a Fire Stick TV box by Amazon but I just realize my J2 Prime doesn´t come with the smart view feature so I can´t paired the two using the mirror feature of the Fire Stick TV box.
I´ve also tried like 20 different apps from the play store and nothing.
Is there a way around this?
Cheers!!

Been looking around for an Android box to use with my TV so I can watch movies on my TV, found one on Amazon that supports hard drives via a sata port on it, seems like a cool idea if it works.
I'd be interested to see how well XBMC works on it, what the performance is like. Anyone have experience with this device?

Hi,
I have an Amazon Fire 8" 7th Edition with a mini USB outlet. I want to show my Fire movies on my Samsung smart TV in Spain. I DO NOT have any internet access. My TV has HDMI inputs and (i think a USB input.
Question. How can I show my Fire tablet movies on my TV?
Amazon said their older models could cable connect but not the newer ones- which seems to be a reduction in capability.
Help appreciated
regards

You can not as the mini USB port can not serve (send) video content. The last Amazon device to support mini-HDMI output was the 2nd gen HD 7/8.9 which was discontinued in 2013.
Amazon also disabled Android's native Miracast screen mirroring on FireOS . Google Chromecast mirroring does not work well for video output even if you could get it working on FireOS which is doubtful.
Amazon would really prefer you use their Firestick which requires an internet connection.
Hi all,
I've tried to search in this forum and around internet getting different information
I'm android mobile user and my smart tv doesn't have prime video app, I'm looking to find a way to enjoy prime video on my TV
I'm oriented to buy a cheap android box cbut I still didn't catch if prime video is supported or not example x96 mini or mxq and similar (less than 20 euro as target)
a comment I've found on xda:
"Amazon Prime ATV will not work on any Android TV device except Nvidia Shield TV and maybe a few Android TV like Sony. Most, not all, subscription services apps like Amazon Prime and Netflix require Widevine L1. The KII Pro only has Widevine L3"
other comments from the web: "prime video will run but only in 480P"
Have you any experience?
Thanks!

There is a guide on adding Widevine L3 for netflix, it should be somewhat similiar.
Do you think it's only a matter of wideline certification?
Is there any suggestion which product is ready or can be hacked for the purpose?

Who knows, i havent got an amazon account to test, so i cannot tell you exactly, but im pretty sure it has to do with authentic TV boxes
I was at a friends house and noticed that their Fire Tv has a vastly updated version of Hulu vs our barebones version on the shield tv. Has anyone attempted to port the Fire Tv version of Hulu to the shield tv? I love the device(read hardware) but I wish the app support was a bit better.
Apologies if this topic has been beaten to death I tried searching but came up short.
I know on a normal Android box not one that's actually Android TV you can run their version of the apk you just have to have Amazon app store installed. Try installing their store on the shield and installing from them? Maybe that'll work?
Hello guys,
I bought T95Z plus Allwinner H618 android tv box! It comes with Android 12 installed.
However, the simplest example is Netflix, even the Exxen application has to be operated with a mouse. Can't install the application that is on the TV and my control time with the remote.
There is a rom series similar to the television systems found on televisions. I want to be able to download all kinds of TV applications and manage them with the remote.
There is no chance of using it with that mouse. I can't understand why they are pushing so hard.
Do you know any compatible ROM, firmware? What can be used?
Or do android TV Boxes not work as compatible as televisions?
Some of these boxes come with a little backlit keyboard that has a mouse touchpad dead center of controller. Ive owned a few of these, and initially the build quality wasnt so good, and/or they were prone to failure. Now, however, quality is much better and they are quite handy to use: HERE is an example of one. You may also want to try out Kodi.
