Controller support will work on other android devices as long as that device can support analog joysticks. You will also need to have purchased MCPE from the Amazon appstore as it will do license checking. A fire TV is also required for the appstore to download the correct version.

Anyone know if the Fire TV has any Miracast support at launch? I saw according to the press release it's coming later this year, but not much information aside from that.

I posted in a long thread before there was a separate forum. I had no luck with Miracast. However, a new alternative has popped up. If you have a 4.4.2 rooted device, you can download Clockworkmod Mirror beta and the receiver app, and you can get similar functionality.
You can try AllCast. It has support for Fire TV now. You will need to sideload the app to your FTV.

My FTV showed up today... I sideloaded the AllCast Receiver and AllCast works good. However mirror doesn't see the FTV at all. 4.4.2 rooted GN3. Never had a device it would work with so I'm not sure if the app is working (didn't support chromecast on my phone).

Allcast is now available in the Fire TV Appstore. No need to side load it.
Does allcast also work with ios? If not is there any casting app that work.

XBMC and SPMC support Airplay. I have not tested it yet, but will tonight.
Does Miracast work? I've a BlackBerry Q10 and it has Miracast screen mirroring built-in. Wondering if anyone has tried to mirror using Miracast?

Does Airplay Screen Mirroring work? My wife has an iPhone 5s and Macbook. She wants to be able to Airplay from both her iPhone and Macbook (screen mirroring).
How about support for DLNA/Play-to/Play-On ?
Cheers
Hi,
i just received my Fire TV and also tried to connect my Microsoft Surface2 via Miracast with the FTV...which did not work at all. The FTV Box is just not shown as Miracast enabled device. Do I have something to activate first, or is the FTV just not working with Maracas (for now)?
Tanks!
Seeing as people are extracting flappy bird's family I was wondering if someone would be willing to extract the Fire TV APK of Minecraft PE. I wish to try it out on the Nvidia Shield or Tegra Note 7 with a Nyko Playpad pro. Unfortunately owning the Amazon version is not enough and need the Fire TV to download the special apk.

I own the Amazon version, and for some reason when I first installed and set up the AFTV, Minecraft showed up as available for download, which i did. i did not get charged for doing this (nor did i get an email stating that I just purchased this). it was purchased a few months ago.. A few other games i own on amazon also showed up as available on AFTV.

Any chance you could pull the apk and post it for us? Our goal is to test controller support on other devices.
See if this works. Extracted from my FireTV...
mod edit
It does work but there are a few issues. For example the button icons are messed up likely due to them being the wrong resolution for a tablet (I may have a fix but it is un tested) and the buttons don't map completely correct on a ps3 controller but that has been known to happen. If someone could test it with a different controller please post your results.
XBOX 360 Controller (wired USB) works well on FireTV, same Controller and apk on Nexus 7 2013 does weird things. Key mapping totally unusable.
I will try this on my developer adt-1 Android TV later today and I will post my results
Works great on the ADT-1 Android TV. The only problem is that you can't move left or right, just forwards and backwards.
Running on ADT-1

I did try this on my adt-1, you have to modify the manifest file for it be seen on the launcher though. This thread on XBMC forums explains what needs to be done. I used apk multi tool to decompile/recompile/sign. After decompiling, I used notepad++ to edit the manifest then recompiled/signed/installed. The controls I cannot comment on because the unit I got had a messed up Bluetooth module and I am using a Logitech wired controller that has messed up button mapping. The game did run and I was able to move around but due to the button mapping issue I could not really play it to test everything.
Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out how to get my sideloaded apps to show up in the launcher. Some of them already do, but there are a couple that dont.
This worked well on the FireTV Stick with an Ouya controller. Just need the 0.10 version now lol.
Thanks!
Pirating are the discussion of such is not allowed on xda.

I have the Fire TV Stick all set up and awesome-ized. I have one issue though. There are a few Fire TV apps that I would love to have for the stick, but without access to a Fire TV, I can't migrate them over. One app inparticular, Minecraft PE, is a must have. I have the app from Google Play, but it doesn't have remote functionality like the Fire TV version does. I can easily purchase the app through amazon on my computer, but have no way to access it without a "compatible" device. How can I get access to Fire TV apps I've purchased, without having one? Stupid Amazon should just make it compatible with the stick, as it obviously works on it. Ugg

Unfortunately, there's no way to download an APK from Amazon even if you purchased the app.

Ugg. My son's world is Minecraft right now, and it would be great to have the remote enabled version on the Fire TV Stick. Know of a way to request getting it added as compatible for the Stick?
Interesting. I just pulled an update to 0.10.0 from Google Play and it works with the controller now. All is well with the world now. Haha

Actually you can if you create an Android VM in VirtualBox, sideload the Amazon app store, purchase the app from the store and backup the APK with ES File Manager.
I use BlueStacks (rooted version) on my Windows 8.1 laptop. Installed the Amazon apk and that device shows up under Amazon as a generic Android device. Exactly as the previous poster (install, backup using ES, sideload the apk on FTV), except I use BlueStacks.
The Fire TV has a bunch of exclusive apps and games that can not be accessed from other amazon devices or other android devices. Is there any way to download and buy (for paid apps) those exclusive apps from other amazon or android devices? I am interested in a few fire tv apps and games but the fire tv is not available in my country.
Any ideas?
You can try mimicking the FireTV's build.prop on the other device or using something like Market Helper etc but I have a feeling Amazon might have other checks in place against this.
Does the app Market Helper have a fire tv option?
I want to download this exclusive fire tv game: http://www.amazon.com/Shantae-and-the-Pirates-Curse/dp/B015QGY98G
I already acquired it but I do not have a fire tv to download it. Could someone with a fire tv use my amazon account to download the game and send me the apk? Please pm me or post here if you are interested.
You can change your Country in your amazon device Settings at the Website. I downloaded a bunch of US Apps, that useally not available in my Country. Its really easy and takes only 1 Minute.
Problem is the game is fire tv exclusive only, it does not let me download it from another amazon device, anyone with a firetv wanna help?
I just download this game for our friends Talos91.
Send him the apk. I runs without problems on my other (not Amazon) android device but on none of the devices of Talos91.
How could that be possible?
Greetings by Idijt
Due to Amazon's changes to Fire OS 6 on the Fire TV Stick 4K not enabling Amazon Controller Support because of the incompatibility.
i hope for this also
Tried this?

Yes I just did, it doesn't seem to work at all. I tried using a Wii U pro controller along with the Amazon Controller that's not supported. The only controller I got working without the module was the Xbox One S controller.
