When will they develop a version that works with Chromecast? I have Prime Video but the easiest way for me to get Prime content on my TV is to pirate it and stream it.

I don't have an answer to that question, but the Amazon Music app just added Chromecast support, so never say never. http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/14/amazon-music-app-adds-chromecast-support/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/14/amazon-music-app-add...

Amazon might prefer that you get an Amazon Fire TV Stick, which sells for $40.

  If I have to buy a stick for everyone's streaming service I'll be up to my ears in dongles!

    It is a mixed bag. Netflix works on just about every device you can watch video on. In the living room, that includes everything from the latest top-end game console (e.g. Xbox One X) all the way to inexpensive streaming sticks, cable boxes, etc. Some streaming services work on a limited set of devices (partly because they likely have to re-implement their app for each platform). Amazon Prime, Hulu, and HBO Now are examples.

This is kind of fucked up. You bought a locked down dongle that works only with Google services. You can't even play your own media on it[0]. Now you expect every service to support google's dongle? Here's what you should have done: get a TV or a dongle with DLNA support. Then your PC will show up as a source and you can play any goddamn thing you want. Or you could have got a TV or a dongle with android on it, then you could have just downloaded Amazon's app. [0]no "official" way at least

  >You bought a locked down dongle that works only with Google services. What? Pretty much every other video app/player I can think of works with chromecast.
