I get around this by just casting my phone's screen. It works great out of the box. Just cast your phone's screen, start the Amazon Prime Video app and start your show. The phone will automatically full screen and orient correctly for the TV and all audio on the phone will silence in favor of using the TV's.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoHang on, you can cast your phone screen? I understood that you could only cast a chrome-browser tab to chromecast or use an app designed for chromecast ... have I been misled? Is that a newer feature because it didn't seem to be there 9 months ago when I trialed one?
- JshWright 11y agoIt's a Lollipop thing.
- darkstar999 11y agoThis feature existed 9 months ago, it worked on my Nexus 5.
- yohoho22 11y agoYeah, the Chromecast app[1] will let you cast whatever's on your screen, regardless of individual app support. I used it recently, for example, to play the turn-based game UniWar on the TV in my living room. That app works with Android TV devices, too, although there's an issue there that trips some people up. When it first launches, it will look for Chromecast devices specifically but will not pick up Android TV ones. Even so, if you thereafter select the "Cast Screen" option, your Android TV devices should show up, as my Nexus Player does. 1: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...
