Even if HBO site says Web Chrome works only in Holland, I've tried yesterday in Romania, and I could cast to Nvidia Shield TV.
I don't think older version works.

Does anyone has a solution for it?

do you mean tvcatchup ? which browser are you using ? just tried it and stock wont let me click on a channel wheres Opera doesnt like the Flash version ??
How is pic. quality?
iPlayer quality is great. still trying to figure out this tvcatchup thing tho
iPlayer and m.tvcatchup both work well over WiFi with the stock browser.
Picture quality on iPlayer is great, m.tvcatchup varies from channel to channel.
they both run on HSDPA connection when using my phones hotspot as well,
but need to buffer a lot.
+1 for iPlayer and YouTube, haven't tried anything else.
Yep iplayer ok plus lovefilm watch online works ok

BBC and ITV work well in browser
The main 4oD webpage is very slow and I can't get it to work. If you google the actual show then go its page it works fine
iPlayer app does not work. there is an ITV app, but it won;t let me download it even thought it says it supports tablets...
I did have a list of search keywords to find all the TV content on Youtube once. But it's gone astray.
maxthon and dolphin broswer both work with itv and chanel 4,

Finally! My Amazon Fire TV is complete!

After days of tweaking my brand new Amazon Fire TV to run XBMC. It's finally complete! I just finished installing Google Play Store. I installed a Custom XBMC Gotham 3.2 build. I installed Xbmchub's addons and settings ontop of that. FiredTV launcher. I set XBMC to launch when Amazon Fire TV starts up and by hitting the home button. Custom Splash and Wallpaper backgrounds. I'm so excited!
I'm familiar with XBMC from my pc and my G-Box MX2 android box but I'm loving this new Amazon Fire TV. It took sometime to figure out some stuff because I was not used to using adb and rooting devices so it was new to me.
I might uninstall the FiredTV launch screen. Don't really need it with XBMC starting right up now without having to go through the Amazon menu>Settings>Apps>XBMC.
I was having some buffering issues with running off of wifi so I wired the box last night. Video plays great now with no buffering issues.
Thanks to everyone for all of your hard work in customizing this great little machine!
I read about some people asking about Showbox on Fire TV. I sideloaded the apk for Showbox. The app itself works fine. You need a mouse to use it. Video play isn't working too good. I'm using an external player MX Player.
The app really isn't necessary if you have good add ons for XBMC. It's pretty pointless.
I also sideloaded Vudu onto the Amazon Fire TV. Vudu works great! But only allows you to watch movies in SD quality.
I installed the Chrome Beta web browser from Google Play. This way you can download and install .apks without having to sideload them.
I'm not an expert at this stuff but just sharing my experiences.

Ill have to try that. I want to test some emulators next when i get time.
In the midst of tweaking mine I found having moviebox on my ipad and just airplaying it solved all my content needs with nary a tweak. I don't even really need to keep root now.
Great brother...keep it going. I have a question. I am trying to get an app apk working on FireTV but not having any luck. would you know why? It works on tablets and any other android tv box, just not on firetv. let me know if you can help me in anyway. The app is on Google Playstore. It's called YuppTV. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xoom&hl=en

Even better is to put Spotify on it and then use rotation manager to make it play in the right orientation
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spydiko.rotationmanager
and the tablet metrics xposed module to make it play in tablet mode

Righ now, It's available on Amazon AppStore
http://www.amazon.com/YuppTV-for-fireTV/dp/B00L1C3300/
Thank you. It's a new app posted on 9/8/14. But the problem is that is asks you to activate with a code and I already have a couple of devices activated so I can't activate firetv. Anyway to modify it or install the tablet apk?

I tried to load a modded version of Pandora a while back but I remember I had some problem with it. I don't remember if it would force close or if I couldn't get past the login screen.. Could you provide more info on what you have loaded?

your problem is related to the remote itself. defective or not, i don't know but the problem when the Nvidia goes randomly to the homescreen is related to the remote. maybe someone from NVIDIA could tell if it fixable or you should send the remote for an RMA.
I had the same issue using Netflix, which was quite annoying. Fortunately the next day it just worked fine. (Knock on wood!)

Same problem sometimes when trying to load a ROM via SNES9x or Mupen64 emulators.
it has nothing to do with the product but the controller itself...the problem is the sensitivity. Your finger print actually stays on there. If you wipe it, it will go away.
Yes this bug sucks

Fire 8 HD (7th Gen). Anyway to get chromecast streaming to work?

Hello. So casting works in some apps, but in some it doesn't. Netflix doesn't have the option to cast to chromecast devices.... I'm just wondering if there is a way to get it to work? or is there a modified version of the app I can use to get chromecast streaming to work? How about casting a tab from the chrome browser?
Thanks

Where did you install Netflix from? I don't remember which one works but it either works out of the box installed from Google play or Amazon app store so if it is not working try installing from the other one. At least this works on my hd10. I don't know about casting a tab but the google home app might allow you to cast the screen. Don't think casting tab from chrome on Android has ever been a feature.
On my hd 10 2017 netflix i had to install netflix from netflix.com as i couldn't see it on the play store. it works fine except i never get the cast icon. the netflix help for this scenario is no good - the device is on the same network (youtube, bbc iplayer etc cast just fine) and i've logged out of and back into the app.
