Can you use an external Player with the app? Is there a share button in the app to share the stream? If so either use an external player like Wondershare Player, which can cast media to other devices, or share the video with Wondershare Player or Playto and cast the videos to you Fire TV. There are other players that cast mdia, but I prefer Wondershare and Playto. EDIT: I just installed the official BT Sport app and it opens, but I do not have an account to log in, so all I get is the BT Sport background and a login form. I got it from 1Mobile Market. Just install 1Mobile Market on your Fire TV and install the BT Sport app from there.

Casting from PC to Fire Stick TV

Is there a solution that makes the Fire Stick TV double as a chromecast? I would like to cast Chrome tabs from my PC to the firestick or from my phone to the Fire Stick. Any solutions out there?
Remotr, mirroring360, and airparrot(to reflector) can mirror but the performance is largely dependent on you PC hardware.
Another option is enabling the Kodi upnp client and using the "play to Kodi" extension in the play store. if the extension can pick up the video it can be "cast" via Kodi.
If you are trying to play flash video you may want to sideload Puffin browser on the Firetv and play directly. Keyboard and mouse needed.
