Does anyone has the same problem as well?
Before it was working normally with wireless display function. This option is now gone, and it´s change to Cast option which cannot see audio Chromecast. Only TV Cast is possible.

Hi,
I have run the latest few versions of the nightly build for 30/7 and 31/7, up to the latest, 10/8. I have carried out a full wipe of the system, and almost everything works much better than with the Lollipop stock ROM.
This issue I have is with the Cast Screen. It will connect to Miracast (An LG TV, Samsung TV and a Roku 3) and also to an EZCast dongle. However, All that is displayed is a black screen. Bothe systems say that the phone is connected, it is just that the screen is not mirrored.
I can display video via Bubble UPNP to the EZCast and TVs, but that is all.
Here's hoping that others have seen this and can help.
Regards, Richard
I am facing the same situation mine would connect for a second and then just disconnect- very happy with CM12.1 otherwise but cannot find a solution for it anywhere. If you do pls share
Use all cast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast works perfectly for me on RR rom
I don't think that Allcast is an answer. Bubble UPNP already works, but that also will not allow for screen casting, which is what I wanted to do.
I have updated from FIRE OS 3 to FIRE OS 5 Preview.
After the update audio passthrough in Kodi 15.1 (using optical out) isn't working anymore (It was working fine on FIRE OS 3). When I switch on passthrough I get a hissing/cracking sound.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Does it also occur when using HDMI out? (I can't test it because I have no HDMI in on my receiver)
Same problem here with HDMI. Tried Dolby Digital and DTS both get very loud white noise.
Same here with new Fire TV 4k Also Plex didnt use DTS or DD, Plex show DTS as audio format at playing but it play only PCM.
Just thought I 'd give my details, pretty much same issues as above
Tried - Kodi - 15.1 , 15.2r3 , 16.0a
with
Onkyo tx-nr509
Fire TV 2 (4K)
FTV -> TX-NR509 -> TV all via HDMI
I have switched from ATV where i was using using optical and everything was working fine. FireTV only has HDMI tho.
Tried all combinations of settings and all I get when I enable Dolby Digital (AC3) Transcoding is digital static as if Kodi/Android/Linux is failing to tell the amp to switch from PCM. Frustratingly I did have this working once, no idea what I did, tried everything mentioned in this thread.
Fire TV Prime videos are working flawlessly.
For me the current (annoying) workaround is to play the movie, hear the static, press stop, and play it again. it's worked every time for me so far.
HDMI -> mostly decent Denon here

same hardware setup for me. in ftv system settings i have it set to dolby digital plus or whatever their pass thru setting is called. and afaik in kodi when it comes to audio the settings don't really matter when you've got pass thru enabled.
Just thought I'd link the following for anyone having the same issues as me with the AFTV. It looks like a fix for DolbyDigital+ was released to fix issues within NETFLIX and PLEX on the AFTV device itself. Amazon are saying a fix will be rolled out on the 30th November for the older Dolby Digital and some are suggesting this should deal with the issues with KODI pass-through - fingers crossed.

weird. maybe i missed sth. use the same settings but still some stupid noise. do u stream your movies? do u use mkv as well? can u send me some screenshots? when i disable pass through in kodi it just show multi in at my denon...
KODI no audio
I have KODI working until FTV2 firmware 5.0.4. KODI no audio 15.2/16 with red mute button on the top right corner
no way to turned on. Tried wukong remote, adjust amplification, change setting in FTV and kodi. Audio is gone forever.
KODI with 5.0.4 works on my FTV2. But I get only DD passthrough. DTS only white noise with my DENON AVR-X1200W. On PCM Output, channels are switched and need to be remapped. I dindn´t found any way in google to remap hdmi channels on android maybe somebody here is able to do some hacking on the ALSA Interface since we have root.
It also doesn´t look like, that the KODI developers have much interest to fix anything in kodi on FTV2 plattform Most development goes in direction of Nvidia Shield.
For thouse who are using Instant Video it´s absolutely dissapointing since most movies i watch via Kodi are with DTS sound. I have to watch them in Stereo PCM. That sucks! Nvidia Shiled is absolutely useless for me.
@woodybarry
try to do a factory reset and do a clean kodi install, without restoring anything.

Had the same issue here.
With Fire OS 3 is use the automatic option, enable passthrough in Kodi (at the moment 16.1) and my Teufel Concept E-Digital did recognize DTS or AC3. With the update to Fire OS 5 I lost this feature
I try all options in FireTV OS 5 settings, with enabled or disabled passthrough option.
I've read something about to try:
-SPMC (because of a better Android support)
-kodi 17 beta (because of some passthrough fixxes)
I search for a method to enable the old Fire OS 3 settings for audio in Fire OS 5! Any ideas? Is it just a another lib/module to replace? @aftvnews
Elias, did you have any ideas?
If I dont find a solution I will sell my AFTV1 box...
Greetings by Idijt
Factory reset of AFTV worked for me. Make sure to back up Kodi config before and liars before wiping.
Hi,
My NP runs under the original ROM, (6.0.1).
It works well when I cast Youtube or a video thru the cast option.
The screen mirroring only cast audio, the screen remains black.
I use a nexus 5 under CM13 to send the cast. It was working well with my previous TV that was supporting mirroring (a smart sony).
I have tried to connect the NP to my Nexus 5 access point. The problem is the same.
I really don't know in witch way I need to search...
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Just need to uninstall updates of Google Cast Receiver and update it again !
Running Android 8.0.
Solution : Delete cache of "Chromecast built-in" app.
Hi Is there a way to cast content on my phone to another source (via cast button) or app embedded cast that isn't chromecast? I know miracast isn't an option. I'm looking for something that doesn't require always on internet like chromecast
Ultimately I would love to buy a non chromecast reciever and cast whatever i can through my phone to it (like friends house who may not have always on wifi like chromecast requires)
Thanks,
Chris
Chromecast doesn't require internet. It requires WiFi (same router or not - as guest), but so it will anything else that you want to use to "cast" video.

Samsung Smart TV with the You Tube app on it. You can cast from You Tube on your phone.
hey developers ..
can anyone provide the missing led notification .compensating it with the navigation lights at bottom
that would be awesome
or can i get a link to the nokia suggestion panel where i can suggest them for doing it in there upcoming OTA update
notification lights r vital part. i luv the mobile, but missing notification lights and missing MIRACAST made me upset..
nokia should work on it.

You can use nokia's own forum to suggest them your thoughts here: https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/forums/7000004252
As for cast service.
The native option under display settings is useless use apps like AllCast or Web Video Cast which work fine.
I have tested both of these apps and they both work just great.
AllCast has a trial period which is a cache here, but web video cast is just amazing as it has support for not only DLNA but Chromecast as well. It also has a built-in browser which will help you Casting YouTube to your TV or any wireless display you want to Cast to.

Attached pictures show that Nokia 6 successfully recognized my external Display and successful in pairing with it. Third picture shows casting of a TV show season from Nokia 6 to TV (via a DLNA support device)
I know abt the chromecast thing... But my tv supports miracast.. And so does samsung s5 and even yu yureka which is abt 6000 INR. PRICING.. so cant nokia get a new update where miracast is provided through OTA. Initially i think nokia 6 needs a device to complete its connection. Or can u provide me any 3rd party software that works similar to miracast without using any middle dongle or device for building up connection
Miracast doesnt require any device or dongle.. It works on wifi direct.. Or peer peer network..
Do we need to have chromecast for Allcast or mira ast works?!
Good idea of navigations keys turned on while charging
