I think that is a huge problem on kindle fire, i mean, we can stream our music for amazon cloud drive but not videos or other documents.
I know it's possible to get to amazon cloud drive on silk (or any browser) and download files from there to kindle, but still these ones will not appear on video library but yes on galery app.
Only purchased videos will appear on video library.
Also if i upload videos for my fire they will only appear on galery app and not on video library.
I want to know if there is any way to get my videos on video library on kindle fire.
anyone?

I've looked into this fairly extensively and I haven't not found a solution that doesn't involve using a third party syncing service that can stream. I use Sugarsync, I know that Dropbox will work as well. I just use SS to store my vids in the cloud and then download/stream them to the Kindle and view using the Video player or Moboplayer.
It's a kludge, but it works fine for now.
So basically, I use:
Sugarsync to store/stream
ES File Explorer to view/delete/move
Gallery or Mobo to view
and using subtitles?
Hi guys,
With the new google+ update released i wanted to switch from the stock gallery to the google photos one, but one thing is holding me back..
On stock gallery if I play a video its asking me which videoplayer I wanna use, on the google photos one it just uses the stock video player.
So the question is if there is some kind of mod or anything like that to change the default player foor google photos.
Thanks!
Ok here's a stupid question, but why is it that on my vivo air the Facebook app shows foto's more compressed (I'm browsing photos, not uploading) and on my friends Samsung android (should be same app right?) phone they show much sharper?
The photos appear compressed at first - they render if you give them time. I don't use Facebook but a lot of mobile sites do that. It's similar to a video loading quicker in 240p vs. 720p.
I know that google plus images look pixelated and not as sharp usually if they were just uploaded
I was hoping to be able to just install google photos app on nexus player and be able to show my photos from the gallery - but it's not android TV compatible.
Is there an app for showing photo galleries on nexus player?
(I know I can cast it from my phone - but I'm not too happy with the quality of the pictures when casting... I would just rather be able to show them either from a local network folder or my google photos gallery.)
Any tips?
Funny enough, it looks like there's now a native Android TV Google Photos app. This must have just been (quietly) updated. It doesn't even look finished yet. Anyway, I installed it on my NP. It doesn't show up in the apps to launch unless you have Sideload Launcher. I was able to launch it from there and sure enough, it looks just like the tablet version of Google Photos, and it's synched to my Google Photos account. I haven't been able to get it to "play" a slideshow yet (it takes forever to "sync") but I can see the previews so I'm assuming if not now, then shortly you can do so natively.
Of course, you can cast from Google Photos on a phone or tablet, but you know that
You can view photos in Kodi or Solid Explorer and both of those apps can access files from a Samba (SMB) server on your local network. If you have a wireless router such as the D-Link DIR-880L which supports this feature with external USB drives, it's easy and convenient to stream content in its original quality.
Thanks for the replies guys. I did finally use kodi for showing the pictures - I did download google photos app, but I was not going to be fidgeting with a keyboard - so it was just easier with kodi and a remote.

Hi mickliq
Can you give details about that application and the sideload launcher? I have a Sony TV with Android TV installed 5.1.1.
Thanks,
P.S. Install Sideload Launcher from Play Store then install Google Photos also, you will only be able to launch Google Photos from Sideload, testing right now.
Android TV Photo Gallery and Screensaver App
Hi all,
Just in case anyone was still looking, we've made a dedicated Android TV photo gallery app. It currently supports your Google Photos, as well as Facebook and Flickr. We're releasing local, USB and network photo support soon.
Just search in a browser for "Furnaghan Photo Gallery and Screensaver" to find it, or simply "photo gallery" on your Android TV play store. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to share links yet!)

Thanks! Glad you like the app. I'm afraid we'd rather prioritise a nice experience, ads just get in the way of that in our opinion -sorry!
So after i updated note 9 to Pie last week, I noticed pictures I'm taking with motion photos on are now backed up in google photos even when they are uploaded as (High Quality - unlimited storage). did anyone notice this? Also i noticed that the motion photo fails to play and can't even download them. will try to share the picture today.
I just checked mine and indeed they are being backed up and it shows the motion option. Mine are like yours and will not play. It does allow me to save to device but even then it will not play the motion.
I'm using S9 with the same problem. Just upgraded my device to Pie 1 month ago.
I found debate in one of google forums , and there was comments that ''motion photo'' works only with photos taken with Google Camera with Motion Photo option turned on.
Motion Photos taken from S8 works fine.
I am using Galaxy S8. I have noticed that after Android PIE update recently, the photos taken from Samsung Camera app were backed up on Google Photos (in High Quality-Unlimited mode). When viewed on Google Photos the photo automatically starts playing Motion Video. It works perfectly fine for me. Also Google Photos has added option to "Select Shots" and adjust the pic according to chosen frame.
