Is there some way or workaround to allow streaming of Amazon Prime HD videos from Amazon.com?
I can stream Amazon Prime movies in SD with no problems at all, but when I try to stream any HD content, I get a window popup with the message:
'You can not playback this HD movie via the Amazon.com website. HD movie playback is limited to Kindle Fire HD, Xbox 360, PS3, Roku, TIVO or other Amazon Instant Video HD Compatible devices. Would you like to watch the Standard Definition version instead?'
Any suggestions?

Hundreds of FREE MS-DOS games possibly playable on Fire TV
I saw a story yesterday about Archive.org having MS-DOS games playable on your browser with no extensions or other extra downloads needed, it works nicely on my computer, then today I thought about my Fire TV, would it work? Here is what I've found so far.
My setup:
Amazon Fire TV - Rooted, no CFW
Software version: 51.1.1.0_user_511069920
USB Keyboard (Rii i8 Mini 2.4GHz Wireless Touchpad Keyboard with Mouse)
Amazon Fire Game Controller
Firefox 32.0.1
Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.47
Open Firefox
go to: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos
click on game you want to play
I've tried 2 games so far, Oregon Trail and Wolfenstein 3D. Oregon trail seems to work just fine with the USB Keyboard, it even works full screen. Wolfenstein 3D does detect the Amazon Fire Game Controller after a button is pressed, but it doesn't seem to work, even after the suggested refresh. If I try to use the keyboard I get stuck on the input menu and the only way out is going to the Fire TV home screen. Might be worth taking a look at, maybe someone can find the games that work or a way to make them work, maybe a different setup or keyboard will work better.
Why don't you use an emulator instead?
Just try DosBox - there are various versions for Android, I bet at least one will work. I remember using it on a much slower hardware with success (Tegra2 tablet).
I'm looking for a solution for my intended set up. My three-year-old can't operate a remote or mouse so I'm trying to find a way to mirror YouTube Kids on her Kindle fire to her TV so that she can select her own shows by pressing them on the screen. She just dunked her previous tablet in her bath water so I'll be buying a new fire HD 8. From what I'm reading the newer versions can't do screen mirroring. Is there a way to accomplish this by rooting it or installing play store apps? And what kind of device do I need to buy to attach to my TV? I planned on buying a standard fire TV stick but I want to make sure.

As far as I am aware there is no custom os available, your only choice would be to install Magisk and root it, have a read here for an interesting topic on the cube.
