TV Cast Pro for Fire TV vs Screen Mirroring for Fire TV® Usage & Stats
Watch webvideos, online movies, live tv streams and your personal photos, videos & music on your Amazon Fire TV. Enjoy the show on your big screen.
With Video & TV Cast you can browse through the web and stream any video you want on your Amazon Fire TV (movies, tv shows, sports, music and more). Just navigate to your favorite website and send the embedded video with a single tap to your Amazon Fire TV. The discovered video will be shown below the browser. A tap on the video link will send it to your Amazon Fire TV immediately. Streaming personal media from your device is also supported.
>>> Important Notes
* The app only works with a Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick.
* iTunes movies, Flash video and DRM protected videos like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, DirecTV, Xfinity, HBO now are not supported!
* The app streams only the video part of a website and not the whole website content (No screen or tab mirroring!).
* Sometimes it is necessary to play the video on your iPad or iPhone first before it gets discovered by the app for streaming. It may also be neccessary to start casting multiple times until it works with specific videos.
* If a video is not working at all, please check the FAQ on the app startpage. If that does not help you, please drop us an email before leaving a negative comment on the App Store. We will try to add support for that website as soon as possible.
>>> PRO FEATURES
* Remote Playbar: A remote control that allows you to fast forward or rewind videos while browsing. It syncs across all your iPads & iPhones that are connected to the same Fire TV. So your video can be controlled by different users in the same room.
* Personal Media: Cast unlimited personal photos, videos and music directly from your device or from cloud services like iCloud and Dropbox.
* Ad-Blocker + No Sponsoring Ads: The Pro app version has no ads and the Ad-Blocker blocks ads & popups on most websites that you visit. You can update, enable/disable ad-blocking at any time in the settings.
* Bookmarks: Save unlimited website bookmarks. Synchronize and transfer them between different TV Cast apps and iOS devices by using backup and restore via iCloud.
* Desktop Mode: Change the browser user-agent and cloak your iPhone/iPad as a desktop PC to load the desktop website instead of a mobile website. Please note that this will NOT enable video casting on websites that serve Flash videos in desktop mode.
* Change Homepage: Set your personal homepage in the settings.
>>> A MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPERS
Countless websites have been reported to us and we already support more than 90% of all videos on the internet. But still we know that things can get even better. Your feedback and priorities will drive our work ahead, and you’ll see new features and more supported websites in our next app updates.

Before using this revolutionary screen mirroring app, visit the Amazon website and install the (free) Mirror Receiver for Fire TV: http://bit.ly/am-firetv
When using the app there is a small delay of a few 1 to 2 seconds. This mirroring app is therefore not suitable for gaming.
How the app works:
1. Make sure your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same local network as your Amazon Fire TV. Do not use multiple VLANs or subnets.
2. Launch the app. It will search for your Amazon Fire TV(s) on your local network. Select the TV as soon as it is found.
3. Enable notifications for this app. We use this to let you know if your TV is working correctly or not.
4. Click 'Start Mirroring' and start mirroring on the Fire TV. After that, you can just go to another app on your iPhone or iPad and the mirroring will continue as usual.
5. To stop mirroring, there are two options:
A) Click on the red top bar you see on your iOS device.
B) Go to the Mirror for Fire TV app and click on 'Stop Mirroring'.
Limitations and potential issues:
DRM;
Some apps block screen mirroring. This means that application developers can choose whether to block screen mirroring. Netflix, HBO, Disney and Apple TV+ have decided to block this. Unfortunately, we cannot change this.
There is a simple test to see if the app you want to mirror has blocked Screen Mirroring:
1) Open that particular app and slide up the Control Center on your iPhone/iPad.
2) Then click on 'Screen recording' and start recording the screen on your camera roll.
3) View the app you want to mirror and stop the screen recording at some point.
4) Then go to your Photos app and watch the video that was recorded.
If the recorded video shows the app you want to mirror, it will work fine. If the video is blank, the app you want to mirror won't allow screen mirroring.
You can purchase the Mirror for FireTV Pro version through an in-app purchase.
The Pro version has the following benefits:
1. Add audio to screen mirroring.
2. Free lifetime updates.
3. Higher screen resolutions, such as 720p and 1080p.
Payment:
* Payment will be charged to iTunes account at confirmation of purchase.
* Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
* Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period and identify the cost of the renewal.
* Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.
* Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, if applicable.

About screen recording and privacy:
Even though there are screen recording notifications, we don't record your screen. And, we don't send content to any server. We only temporarily store data in memory before streaming it to the TV. Streaming deletes the content from memory.
