yes but you need to root, install a launcher, connect an otg cable and a remote control of some type, and flash gapps, and install all the apps you need from the play store in order to get to that point.

Hi,
any chance to get a workaround for a Xbox or PS3 controller? I would like to play FIFA 12 on TV via HDMI.
Yes, Wii or PS3 should work (only newer samsung phones and HTC devices appear to not support it). Xbox requires a dongle.
You can try this to confirm a wiimote/ps3 remote will work with it.

But only with root? Any chance to get this work without root?

The Xbox requires a dongle but no root. The wiimote method doesn't appear to require root.

When playing with my new Nexus Player the remote control popped up on my moto 360.
It only showed up one time...i think it has to do with weather the remote app is running on the phone that the 360 is connected too.
I tried to add the nexus player as a bluetooth device on the 360 but its a no go.
Anyone else play with this yet?
No but I'm extremely intrigued ;o I'll mess with that tomorrow and report back lol.
As long as you have the remote app opened on the phone, while connected to the Android TV and still connected to your watch, it should display on your watch automatically. IIRC, it has to actually be opened and actively connected on the phone, for the watch to pick it up.
It also doesn't work at all. LOL... G Watch R, 5.01 updated. App has no function at all on the watch.

I just tested this and it will work if you have the Google made Android TV Remote app open on your phone when trying to use the Android TV Remote app on Android Wear.

So you need to have the phone on and app open.... to use your watch to control it? Sounds kinda... broken. lol

I use firestarter on my fire TT stick to launch Kodi on startup, because that device is just used as a streaming box.
Not heard of anything similar for the Sheild TV but Its not something I would want to do on the Sheild.

I am using this on a different android box and it works great.
Sent from my SM-P900 using XDA Premium HD app
I subscribed to Directv Now thinking the asus player would work since it has the Google Play store, but states incompatible with my device.
Anyone know a work around?
FireTV stick is supported at current time, along with iOS, Android (phone/tablet), and Apple TV. Support for Android TV and Roku are supposed to come later in the year sometime, I think, but in the meantime the only workaround I can think of would be to adapt the FireTV APK somehow, as it's the closest iteration of the app designed to work with a remote instead of a touchscreen...
I pulled the apk from the fire tv and loaded it into the Nexus player. You also need to install a version of the Amazon app store and sign in. On initial login, the last channel it was on loaded up for me. However, trying to change channels resulted in errors. Haven't tried anymore than that.

Loaded this APK tonight and it works perfectly with a great picture. https://goo.gl/evN3gH
How did you load and install it? If I got this to work I wouldn't need a Roku in the bedroom anymore, I could use Nexus for everything!

side load using es file explorer is always easiest to side load apps
Free APK to send chrome cast content (screen cast and tab cast) to your fire tv. It supports any fire tv.
Instructions:
side load the APK to your Fire TV
Version 1.2
This is not my work but it is verified to work and it does not contain any ads or any limitations
Hello!
Thank you very much for this app. I sideloaded on my FTVS and it works great with Spotify. Unfortunately I can't detect it with any other app like Chrome / Youtube... Is this app able to cast only sound?
I was able to test it with chrome tab cast and screen mirroring from Windows computer
Install Google Home on your tablet, phone, whatever and go to cast screen.
This works great. Just gonna keep stuff like roms\emulators on my tablet primarily now.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for apk. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have installed your apk and googleHome Cast app. Moreover i installed the google play service for android tv. On my phone and my PC i can see the new "tv-stick-chromecast-device", but i don't can see anything if i try to send something from Phone or PC to the Stick. After opening the Chromecast app i tried to go to cast screen, but there is no device found. What i'm doing wrong, please help me. Thank you.
greetings
Sideloaded also and works perfect!!
Works perfect for me on fire stick 2nd gen nice one is it a full one or a trial ?
VERY cool!
It took me several times to get it to cast but it is works.
I hope this app sticks around longer than the last Google cast app for AFTV.
Does this app require Play Store/Services on the Fire TV device?

no you can install it right away
Hi josuelopezv:
What's so shameful. Developers give you a convenient to install android box without Google Play Service since you said you already buy it from Google PlayStore. But you leak it as piracy and don't think how many times developers spend to implement the Cast Protocol in house.

I thought this is forbidden/illegal? Shouldnt this thread or at least the APK have been deleted?
I do not have a problem to buy any app that has the right functionality.
Im just not used to see pirated content on here(?)
There is nothing illegal about this.

This doesn't seem to allow cast of youtube. It works fine for everything else though. Was hoping to use this for a workaround for the upcoming youtube app removal.

Same here. Casting from YouTube via Chrome on my laptop doesn't work but casting the whole screen does (never found a use for that though since the quality and latency make it pretty useless)
Yeah since I found a work around for the coming youtube/fire armageddon I'm not concerned. How are you casting the whole screen btw?
Dave
I use Google Home to steam everything and haven't had a hiccup. Even games work fine.
Thanks! I'll give this a shot. How is the apk in this thread different than the one in the play store?
Thanks for posting this. Is there any way to support the developer as this appears to be a premium version?

Why don't you find out for yourself? Kinda seems like a complete waste of time to register just to say this.
This appears to run as a chromecast receiver & NOT as a chromecast Audio receiver. I'm not sure why Google differentiates them but it would be nice to have a toggle in this app.
