@ Kodaro, I just tested YouTube and Chrome tab mirroring from my Win 8 desktop pc to a fire TV box, and both of them work great!

On fire TV stick, right now, YouTube works from desktop pc, but chrome tab mirroring does NOT work.

Chrome tab mirroring works fine on fire TV box, but not on fire TV stick.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Kodaro:
Ahh thank you! So the problem is that I have a Fire Stick and not a Fire Box. Do you think that you are able to give us fire stick users chrome tab mirroring (from desktop pc) too in the future? I would gladly buy the app with that feature.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
[MENTION=4303328]Kodaro[/MENTION], yes, it will work in the future. We are working 2 ways:

(1) add a VP8 decoder to fire TV stick, somehow the builtin one is broken on fire TV stick, but works ok on fire TV box, although both of them are Android 4.2.2. VP8 is kind of slow, which is why chrome tab mirroring is slow.

(2) we are actually working on a sender for desktop pc that will mirror the whole desktop to chromecast receiver, including our YouMap receiver, that will use a much faster H.264 codec, instead of VP8.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Darriousx:
It works on my fireTV stick but it always pops up a notification with the same complaints about port 8008 and to use port 8010. This happens every 30 minutes or so. App works great though!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
[MENTION=5038286]Darriousx[/MENTION], If you don't like those text messages, you can turn them off from the Settings, there is one option to turn off text messages.

A tip to cast Google Play Movies & TV, for trailers, you can cast directly from inside Play Movies app. For purchased movies, you can cast too. However, you first start Cast Screeen from the Chromecast app, then open Google Play Movies & TV app, all movie work, and play only on the TV, devices show a remote control, same behavior as if casting directly from Google Play Movies.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
The apk is updated:

(1) fixed fire TV stick chrome tab casting crash issue. Now, both fire TV stick and fire TV box work well, including audio.

(2) No need to click Start menu any more, immediately after installation. When the app is launched, service will start automatically.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
[MENTION=4303328]Kodaro[/MENTION], fire TV stick now works well with chrome tab casting, please download this updated apk, and give it a try. Thanks,
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Kodaro:
[MENTION=4359394]huisinro[/MENTION] Thanks for linking my name so I can see your new post. I dont' exactly know what's new now, all seems the same.

- PC tab browing; no device found

- PC youtube casting; Error connecting

-From smartphone -all works!; But it did before, too

I don't understand why mc PC keeps erroring when I try to cast youtube. It's not like I have some special Firewall on my PC. Is there any setting I need to apply?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
[MENTION=4303328]Kodaro[/MENTION], is your pc at the same network as fire tv? perhaps try to turn off firewalls on your pc.

You can try to enter this line into a browser. can you access it?

http://ip-address-of-fire-tv:8010/ssdp/device-desc.xml
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
Hi Kodaro, does your desktop have two networks? for example, it has a wifi, and in the same time also connect a Ethernet cable, this configuration will have problems.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] schneid:
I DL'd the app in the OP. Using Google Cast from within Chrome browser. It will load the web page but will not play content like TV shows. No problem paying retail but wish to know it it works first. Am I doing something wrong?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
Can you provide a url so I can test? If you do chrome tab casting, it supposed to cast everything ibside that tab, including video and audio.

Can you try nba.com? Then play some videos, work well for me.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] schneid:
I can run NBA clips.

Figured it out. Can't do TNT yet but did get ABC and sundance to run by turning of a malware blocker called Ghostery.

Thanks

Is this not available in the Amazon app store?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
Sorry about that. Right, this app has been removed from Amazon store per Google's request.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] audinswfc:
This app no longer works for me, none of my other devices can cast from YouTube they just don't see YouMap as an option to cast to. Has there been an Amazon update that's broken it?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Claude Koch:
Google has pulled the app:

http://www.aftvnews.com/google-has-chromecast-receiver-app-pulled-from-fire-tv-appstore/
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] audinswfc:
I know it was pulled but I read that it should still work until the end of the year if it's installed, but mine won't work...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
[MENTION=4115492]audinswfc[/MENTION], can you check if it's version 1.3? If so, it should work. I just tested yesterday, with latest google play services, and it works ok. Now, even the latest iOS YouTube app works ok now, (previous YouTube version was not working)
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] audinswfc:
Yes it is 1.3. Do you mean Google Play Services on the phone or the Fire TV? I have the latest on my phone, issue is that the YouTube app on my phone doesn't show a cast button like it used to do.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
[MENTION=4115492]audinswfc[/MENTION], you may want to reboot your router. I just tested it, YouTube works well from Android and iOS devices, and also from youtube.com from Chrome browser.

By the way, we will release a new version for our withdrawn app that supports YouTube only.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] audinswfc:
Working after router reboot, thanks! Can't believe I didn't try that, my bad.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Thorstenk:
for me its not working any longer, I manually downloaded the ap and installed it, but can't find it in my android phone ...Any hints how to get the thing working? Or is there any other method/app available that gives screen mirroring on the firetv with android phones?

Thanks

Thorsten
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] goodhur:
What phone Miracast may be supported? I'd try that first. I have also had luck with Mirroring360 sender to Mirroring360. I found Miracast is more likely to display Play movies and other DRM stuff
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Thorstenk:
It worked before with the same phone ...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] C0nvert:
it still works?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] nineismine:
So has anyone received a new APK that doesn't have a time restriction? Why was that put in anyway? I paid my 10$ for this on the Amazon store before it was pulled and I can't understand why its ok to put a time restriction on this that only lasts a few months. Has anyone went about trying to get their money back via Amazon or elsewhere?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] roligov:
Anyone manage to backup the APK before it was removed from the Amazon Store?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] ldeveraux:
If you can find an old apk, somewhere like apkmirror, couldn't you just sign it and stop it from updating?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Thorstenk:
I complained and got my money back (via Amazon).

(though I would prefer to have the working app)

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Can we hack the old app somehow that it is still working?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
Due to the very high demands on this app, I will upload a new trial version within this week, and all paid customers will get a new version that will work for a few more years. Thanks!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] cidorov:
Progress

How goes it?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
It's going well, works very well on the new Fire TVs and sticks with Android 5.

Fixing a bug on the requirement to reboot after 24 hrs, then will put out the build. Should be only a couple of more days.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
The APK is now updated, and it will stop working after Feb 29, 2016.

It works well on old and new Fire TV boxes and sticks. Still same functions as before, YouTube, Screen mirroring, Play Music, Play Movies, Chrome Tab mirroing, Local Cast, etc. Neflix icon may show up, but still not working.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fards:
So when or how is it possible to get the none-time limited version?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
For paid customers, or who wants to pay for new licenses, please wait for a few more days, as we are working on a version without time limitations. You can send email to info AT vmlite dot com for more info.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] goggles99:
Just one question, will this work for Spotify casting?

Thanks
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] roligov:
Is this the same as the original app or is it the watered down version with youtube casting only?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
@ JJ-KwiK, when you cast from Chromecast app, did you click the Cast Screen/Audio from left side? What is your phone model? Does it have google services installed in the system partition?

You can download Bonjour Browser to your phone, and check if it can find YouMap from Bonjour.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Thorstenk:
Works perfect again!

I bought the app over Amazon in last summer, where do I get now the unlimited/non-trial version from?

Cheers

Thorsten
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] boekenbox9000:
works

This is great, it just works.

Now how can I pay for it and keep it running after the trial ends?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] nbaj2k:
I tried to install the latest version of this via adbFire, but I'm not seeing anywhere to launch the application. I went to Manage Applications like I have in the previous versions, but I don't see the app listed there this time. Is there something else I should try?

When I go into adbFire and click 'uninstall apk' i see youmap listed there.

Anyone else have this issue?

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Atst44:
Keep getting port errors

I installed the app onto the Fire TV Stick, but It wont appear as a device in the chromecast app and I keep getting port errors. Anything I can do? It says to change the port to 8010 but I cannot see the place to change a port except the VLC port.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fards:
Have you rebooted the fire stick?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Atst44:
I rebooted, tried loading through multiple channels (Dropbox, adb, fire agk) and still getting a port error. Oh well. I know it's probably on my end, but I can't figure it out. I will try downloading the file from a different computer and see if that makes a difference, even though it shouldn't...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KLit75:
So is there a way for new customers to purchase a license? I was planning on getting it and next thing I know it was pulled from the store--thought it was gone for good then found it again here.

Eitherway, I'm thinking you might know whats going on with casting to my aftv. It was working in Youtube and netflix the other day then it just stopped finding my livingroom aftv. If I hit the cast button it finds my nexus player, bedroom aftv and ftv stick but not the livingroom...tried rebooting router, device etc but still gone. Thought installing your apk would be the workaround. It DID work for mirroring from my phone to livingroom aftv but when I try to cast from youtube app STILL my only options are the other devices. Not even the Youmap display name comes up. Any theories?

Serious about buying a license though if I have another chance. Thanks
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] f1ux:
Tried casting from few apps but not all work.

Working

Bbc Iplayer

You tube

Notworking

Nowtv

Games like angry birds etc
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
The apk is updated for February, please update. We are working on a version for paid customers, please wait for a couple of more weeks.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KLit75:
So can I assume there is no way for new customers to purchase a license?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Thorstenk:
Since a few days it isn't working any longer ... What is the problem? The mobile tries to connect and than gives up ... It happens with all the phones that worked before. I rebooted the fireTV and reinstalled the app, nothing helps. Very frustrating!

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: after resetting the Box its working again!

Now I would love to see the paid version of the app (for what I actually paid a few month ago ... )
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Thorstenk:
Now the app is expired, whats up with you guys?!! I paid for this app!!!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] nineismine:
Two months now and this guy is still silent. He says he is going to get a new working APK for those who paid... where is it? It is not coming. These guys took your money.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Thorstenk:
I Agree - feeling fooled!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Is there a mirror of the apk?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Ichijoe:
At the risk of having NOT gone though, much less read Eight whole Pages of this Thread....

Please explain to me why anyone would need this, when the AFTV2 already has built-in casting? Ex: Miracast.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KLit75:
Casting on aftv sucks. Afaik you needed to go into the settings to enable it, otherwise you were limited to YouTube and netflix. This was really cool because you could mirror your display as well. As I understand it, the dev had some trouble with it being allowed in the appstore because it was essentially chromecast, something Google legally has the rights to. If I remember right. Been awhile.

Don't matter anyway. The dev is MIA
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Ichijoe:
I could only wish to get the PlayStore fully, and completely working on my AFTV2. But, that's a different kettle of Fish as they say.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] mmortal03:
Speaking of, the mirroring option actually doesn't always work on some Windows 10 computers, so it'd be cool to know if this worked even when that failed.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
Our team has just published the first portion of the YouMap Cast Receiver for YouTube casting only at Amazon store, called YouMap Dial Receiver:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUB6OEG

It works very well on Fire TVs, easiest way to watch YouTube videos on Fire TV.

It works very well on Fire TVs, easiest way to watch YouTube videos on Fire TV. You can start casting directly from iOS and Android YouTube apps.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] omegadcuk:
looks like this is a dead duck - any alternatives?

Removed from store, removed from web too lol, no links i can find are active anymore.

Ok sad to say that this app seems to be a dead duck :( Or just a con/subscription scheme! Does anyone know of or can anyone recommend other solutions to make a Fire TV 2 so it will stream a chomecast cast (ie. running as a service, pefer not rooting)

I don't mind paying at all, but paying for a version that expires?!?!?!? nope!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
The app requires some modifications, now published again in amazon store:

YouMap Dial Receiver:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUB6OEG

It supports only DIAL, so only YouTube app works, and can stream YouTube video from iOS/Android to Fire TV.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] d3adpool:
This can easily be done usingthe casting option inside YouTube. Not trying to hijack but not seeing the use of passing for something that can just as easily be done for free.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] huisinro:
Can you add more details on how to do it? I just double checked iOS and Android devices, with a few FireTV boxes and dongles, I don't see any casting icons on YouTube app on iOS or Android, unless I install our YouMap Dial App. Can you check if have a Chromcast device? Wih Chromecast, YouTube will display an icon.

Some screenshots will help, and list the receiver name.

Is it possible you have installed some other apps? I am very curious to find out if I missed anything.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] darren1:
You just install the YouTube app for Fire TV.

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] d3adpool:
Yes, I installed the YouTube for firetv and it works. Often times the firetv won't appear in the list of casting devices but u can still pair your Android and firetv devices with YouTube under settings, link tv and phone, link with tv code
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] DrUnkeN_TiGeR:
This works on my fire TV stick would like to purchase full version to use in it, also would like a refund as I purchased it and uninstalled like an idiot and it got rid of my 5 uses you need to make it a one time payment

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
Issue with volte on my M9. I saw the warnings and take responsibility for my actions.

When trying simultaneous voice and data I get the "data not available while on this call" popup. I verified Adv calling is turned on and my Verizon shows it activated also.

Since I'm not sure how to deal with Verizon on S-Off, custom recovery, custom rom I thought I'd start with the clever and helpful contributors on xda.

Any tips for preparing to deal with Verizon from those of you having gone through something similar?

************************ Edit

Viper 3.5 vzw FW 2.6.605 Don't have my hopes up but will try RUU to stock set up tonight
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
There have been both temporary and permanent hosings of volte. Ruu will cut to the chase and tell you right away if its ROM/app based.

I had one that had to be returned because of this. We can chat more after you ruu.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
Thanks [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] - Used your vzwM9_1.33_0PJAIMG.zip to ruu with htc_fastboot. Still not able to do voice and data simultaneously.

Just went back into recovery to wipe data/factory reset and noticed messages regarding missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg. Is that relevant? Saw somewhere that that is a toggle in developer options but cant find it
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
That message is normal.

If the issue stuck after ruu and you are in solid 4g service area you may need to get it swapped. Under settings-call is the video calling section greyed out permanently too?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
South side of Minneapolis so I believe we have solid 4G and wife's iPhone 6 is capable of simultaneous data/voice.

Video calling is selected and grayed out.

Haven't tried toggling from My Verizon account yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
Yours is exactly like mine was. I toggled from the account a few times. Had vzw support engineers look at multiple times and we finally gave up.

Any info you can offer up on flash history you might have? Did you browse the root directory of the phone and open some of the files etc?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
Not sure when this issue started for me but I didn't think to even check it until seeing some posts from others recently.

S-Off by Java Card in mid-May and bounced around between some of the more stable and popular roms on these forums staying with those that indicate support for verizon

No Red Text aboot, and updated firmware to 2.6. No unusual failures or hangups at either or while flashing any roms.

Other than deleting some files in DCIM, Downloads, and Pictures from my Win7 PC, I have not gone exploring in the root directory and haven't knowingly changed anything there.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
It possibly is just simply random. Sucks. Did you do a factory reset in stock recovery just to be sure?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] michaelbsheldon:
Besides factory reset, if not already done, talk to Verizon Tech Suppport

and confirm that it is active. I had this same problem after activating the service,

and Tier 2 Support found that only one of the two lines was actually setup for HD Calling.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
Thanks guys for helping - Never run out of thanks for the day before!

I think I will return cid to VZW__001, ruu again to confirm, factory reset from stock recovery, and toggle the adv calling setting from my verizon.

Do I have to remove all evidence of S-Off before contacting Verizon? Best to stop in a store to talk them into a new phone? Or go online for support?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] bschram:
I'd recommend going back to S-on before going in to ask about this. If it does get fixed one way or another, just let me know and we can meet up again to get you back to S-Off.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
S-on regardless of whether I contact them online or in store?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] bschram:
In the store probably. Online you shouldn't need to worry about it
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
I will update for those interested when resolved...thanks for your help
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lordcheeto03:
So I've seen things here and there about what (possibly) causes loss of Volte, but it's been scattered. Browsing or opening things on the root directory, was about the only thing that stands out... What are other ideas about what may cause the problem... Just out of curiosity
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
That was only my theory but sidjohn said he didn't do anything like that. So who knows. Could have been a poor factory configuration too. My replacement has always been fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
I am not shy to explore but cautious about opening or changing anything I'm not fairly sure about. Doesn't rule out a bonehead move on my part but I've been comfortable rooting about since the T-Bolt days.

Still in protracted discussions with big red.

Appreciate the support from the xda community and will update as things progress.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
Expecting replacement - refurbished "Like New" - M9 July 31st. Will update once It's operational.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] bschram:
Glad to hear they are replacing it for you!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
Not painless but I understand VZW's process I guess. Involved 2 online chats (3 if I count one disconnected after a couple of minutes), email support efforts, and several days of texts and phone calls with tech support engineers before they determined my phone was not accessing a particular APN which allows for Advanced Calling.

Got the impression from Tech that this is uncommon but coincidentally also just yesterday received a survey from verizon pertaining to my experience with my m9. One section asked whether I experienced any of a litany of issues reported by others - short battery life, bad camera, overheating, etc...and the inability to open a web browsing session while on a phone call - my exact problem. So maybe not so uncommon?

Received replacement today, looks and feels clean and "Like New" - Charged it but haven't fired up yet.

Just finished returning my original M9 to Stock, Locked, and S-On per [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] 's easy to follow directions - thank you.

Now to get the replacement set up and think about S-Off again --- just a little nervous about that!
