I am ready to buy a Fire TV and sell my ATV2, question though - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use my jailbroke ATV 2 with XBMC and the video add ons to watch all my tv. Is XBMC working good on Fire TV and do they video add ons like 1 channels work as well as they do on the ATV2?

XBMC on FTV works very well. It is far superior to the ATV2. All addons/plugins work as expected.

Thank you so much for the reply, can you link me to an easy tutorial. I used xbmchub's install wizard on my Apple TV and it installed the add ons and all

The only issue I've had so far is that the remote doesn't seem to work on the onscreen keyboard in xbmc. My network share is password protected and when the keyboard comes up to enter the password the fire remote won't move the key selection

Go in to "Settings" select "System" and under the "Input Devices" tab, enable "remote sends keyboard presses"
From there, the FireTV remote will work with the onscreen keyboard.

[Q] Sense 2.1 or 3.0 features for Incredible GB framework?

Is this possible? I have the TV Out cable and (as far as I know) it only works with Incredible framework, but as we all know stock is extremely boring, so is there any way to get Sense 3 or even 2/2.1 features ported over to the leaked GB build, and (in case) do any of the Sense 2> ROMs have the TV Out in Settings> Display?
Sorry for the long Question and my "noobiness", any answer is appreciated

I only ask because the two are related
You can't sync a Wii remote on anything besides AOSP ROMs, but you can't use TV-Out on anything but stock. Which means, you can't play video games with game controllers on a TV with your friends even though the hardware supports both actions.

[APP/FEATURE REQUEST] HDMI rotation settings....

GN running ICS 4.0.2 seem to default into landscape mode when you plug in an HDMI cable and just sort of "sticks" there with no option to change it...

This means that portrait mode apps appear sideways on the TV like so:
Not sure if this is only a GN issue, or an ICS issue, but I would love a fix for it... I demo apps and things on my device and its annoying to have to have a 90 degree swiveling HDMI computer monitor handy...
does anyone know if this is even possible?
how did you fix the overscan on the hdmi out from 1 picture to the next? Is it a setting on the tv, or the phone? I tried it on 2 tvs in my house and both look similar to the first picture. Not a dealbreaker, but a little annoying.

Yea, on my samsung it's called Just Scan. It cleans it right up.
Anyone have any insights into this whatsoever? There are no settings for MHL HDMI at all....

Same here in Australia too.
I'm open to suggestions for WatchOn alternatives if anyone has any advice!!
Maybe you all can search for Smart Remote.
My country Tab S and Note 4 is bundle with Smart Remote already.

Smart remote is horrible, unless I just want to switch channels, WatchOn was good to show the channels in a guide, you could select the show and tada!, I'm gonna miss WatchOn...

thanks for the sugestion. I got it working with the TV but not the Satelite box / BellTV. This app seems to be an old version of WatchON, i.e. by the same company Peel.

You can't navigate around the lower screen w/the remote?
Does the remote have fresh batteries?

This seems like an Amazon chat would solve this better. Whatever the issue, they should be able to help you out quicker.
I agree that tech chat with Amazon may be the best bet. Have you tried power cycling yet?

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus Windows 11 ARM

So for couple days I've been playing with remote desktop from Mac to Galaxy Tab S7 Plus. Well for the moment Google Remote Desktop isn't good enought. If you need typing and delete with backspace then it's logout from session. :/ But so far looks ok. I'm still looking alternative freeware.

Yes, you can play even Cybermeme 2077 with RayTracing, or Crapfield 2042. Smooth 120fps graphics.
