This is a good way to mirror you iOS Device to the Fire TV devices with the use of Air Screen app that use Airplay :
Download the app Air Screen it free by searching on it from your Fire TV than lunch it.
On you iOS devices iPhone or iPad open Control Center and select Screen Mirroring.
Now you TV can display your iOS screen.
if you wanna see the how to video:

I have a jailbroken Apple TV that also has XBMC. I want to mirror my display like one can do with an Apple iPad. Let me be clear I am not looking to stream audio or video but rather want to mirror the display exactly as it appears on the tablet. For example I want to be able to read Flipboard or other app on my larger TV. I am not having any luck finding an app that can do this.

Hi all
I have a note p-601 and apple TV.
I can control the apple TV by using smart remote application but I am looking to stream videos or screen mirroring from the note to the apple TV.
Does anyone have tried this before?
Best Regards.
It doesn't look like you can mirror your screen like you can with iOS devices. But if you have a movie or song or photo downloaded on your device you can use some apps in the store.

Is there any way to set up the Fire TV as a Chromecast RECEIVER so I don't have to use both my Chromecast and the Fire TV?
NOTE: As of update 51.1.4.0_user_514006420, there is now a "display mirroring" option. This allows casting from any device that supports Miracast - I wish it supported Chromecast as well, but it's better than nothing.

I have not used it, I use AllCast for Fire TV instead.
I am really looking for a way to get apps that officially support Chromecast to get to my Fire TV. I have used allcast, but that only seems to stream photos and videos from within the AllCast app. That Spark app looks cool anyway though. I'd like to see how that is. Thanks!
I just realized that in the YouTube app on Android, you can "cast" to Fire TV. I didn't realize that! That seems to be the only app that supports it though. Other apps do not show my Fire TV when I tap the "cast" icon. Those apps on the Fire TV must have to specifially code for that...unless someone can trick the Fire TV into thinking it's a Chromecast!

Push.
Got it for christmas and thought this feature would be already in it.
I wanna use the cast button in apps.
Any ideas
Yes, by now, please refer to this thread for free trial of YouMap cast receiver:

Does anyone know where I can find the apk download for the paid version of Youmap that works on Amazon Fire TV stick?
The app was taken off the Amazon App Store, so I was wondering if I purchased the $9.99 app from the Google Play Store, would that apk work on the Fire TV?
Thanks.

That app was removed by amazon at the request of google (theres a story to that) but in a nutshell no chromecast for aftv. I believe the app will only work till the end of 2015 and you cant buy it anymore.
I was lucky and bought nexus player for $25 at target. Chromecast works perfectly with no fuss but id like a better solution for aftv.
Thinking about getting a fire tv stick, as I run kodi currently on my phone and cast to my tv using Chromecast...generally works great except for live football streams which seem to come in don't propriety format flash style which prevent me from casting those..I can mirror my screen easily but I list some quality and it's not ideal...could I install kodi on a fire tv stick as is and have it stream directly to that? That's my main need from any new device I purchase
Thanks for advice!

There's a tool to work with your Fire TV stick, just three threads under your thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736774

You don't need root to install "normal" apps.
What's especially slick (I guess from a recent firmware update) is that if you sideload an app to a FireTV that is actually available in the general Amazon App Store (worked for me with Kodi, SPMC and Crunchyroll), then install the same app through the Amazon App Store on an Android device connected to the same Amazon account as the FireTV, after your account syncs up the FireTV is tricked into showing the app on the FireTV Recent row on the home page.
FYI, I've had the Stick for about 2 weeks: for $40 it's awesome. I've seen some people state that SPMC works better than Kodi, but I haven't noticed any difference yet. No issues with live streams in Sportsdevil or Vdubt25.

How do you stream kodi to your chromecast? I've tried multiple different ways and none work.
Im sure you can screen cast your screen to CC and then whatevers on your phone will come up on your tv. thats how I used it on my note 4
Whenever I use youtube app on my android mobile there is a small casting button on top, when pressed it directly opens the video on my smart TV.
Now, can I use the Fire Stick the same way to instantly cast youtube videos to my non smart TV ?
PS: I want to Cast not Mirror.
Also, off-topic... many of my videos does not play or doesn't have sound when played on TV via USB saying format not supported. What kind of simple device do I have to buy/use so that I can play all by personal videos and also have services inbuilt like Netflix and Amazon prime ?
