plugged into the hub, I'll go put it in direct and see if it registers... I'll just edit this post afterwards

Sorry, life happens..

Works fine direct connect, no difference I could detect.

I was wrong about one thing though, the top bumpers light the white led, the bottom triggers do not. However, the d pad and sticks don't light the led, but both work for navigation, so maybe they work in a game that uses them.

I did notice depressing the sticks (either) does the same as the green button (ok/enter), had not noticed that before.

Guide to get the PS4 Controller working on the AFTV2​

Ok so i saw this & copied the work around if you want to go to the original thread the link will be at the bottom of this page.

Here is what you have to do.

I had to pull out my windows install to run the SixAxisPairTool to get the PS4 controller to pair. There is a Mac version but no matter what I tried it kept saying there were no controllers on the USB bus.

In the ADB shell you need to pull the Bluetooth MAC address from your FireTV Stick using this command:

$ settings get secure bluetooth_address

Take that value and plug it in to the tool and then you will be paired.

To get the controller to work with the PS4 again is as simple as plugging it in via USB to the PS4.

It's not quick to swap back and forth as you need to rerun the pair tool to get the controller to work with the fire tv again.

The original thread is here (look at post 4 for the guide)-

http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/unable-to-pair-ps4-controller-to-firetv-t3250644

Make sure you give him thanks on his thread if this works for you.

Hey guys, just got my fire tv, 2nd Gen.

Finished installing it, and I had two games in the appstore: sonic 4 ep2, and minecraft pocket edition. Bought these years ago for the kids.

Anyway, I had an old generic ps3 controller that I connected to the fire tv, and I can confirm that it's working perfectly.

I looked it up on amazon, and it's this model, if anyone has it, give it a try:

Also, one side loaded game that did not work for me was Chaos Rings, the original one.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
We're these games from the play store or amazon store?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkP80nj:
Sorry, should've specified.

From the play store.

I purchased it a while ago, and decided to try it.

I'm going to look on the play store for more games that I've bought in the past and report any success I have.

Don't know though, maybe we should have specific threads?

Like one for controllers, one for games, etc?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Thanks mate, just think its a useful compatibility thread for new & older users, with a good reference for all in one place.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkP80nj:
Yeah, it was late in the night, and I wasn't thinking straight, lol.

As for the games I tried none of them worked, in one form or another.

I'll edit this post later to specify, have to go right now.

EDIT:

Ok, so first, I saw in the op that it was listed Sonic IV ep2 and Minecraft PE as not working Google play apps.

If this was based on my post, this is not what I said.

Chaos Rings was the only game not working from the Play Store.

Sonic and Minecraft were games I already owned on Amazon and once I set up the fire tv, they automatically appeared in the games section. This is what prompted me to try a game controller.

Sorry for causing the confusion.

Ok, now the games I tried from the play store:

-Need for Speed Most Wanted

And

-Dead Space

Both these games say the device is not authorized (I am not rooted)

-King of Fighters A 2012

Game gets stuck downloading extra content, and won't go past zero

- Wind Up Knight

Splash screen shows for a second and game shuts off

-Best Fiends

Works, looks very ugly because screen is stretched, but you need to use touch controls, and the mouse is no good in game. (At least not the Wukong app, haven't quite figured how to use the touchpad)

-World of Goo

And

-Sword of Chaos

Works, looks good, but again these are touch based games, with no controller support.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkP80nj:
One more update, don't know if this is very known yet, but Amazon Underground has paid apps for free. You can sideload these apps on your fire tv and play them.

It seems they should all work, or at least most of them.

I had success with all that I tried, including:

-Castle of Illusion

-Sonic CD

-Duck Tales

-Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

(This one you need to make sure you have over 2 gigs of internal storage, because it will not install the obb folder to sd card. Maybe rooted users can work this out)

Also have you any experience with usb hubs that work with firetv2 because i cant seem to use my 64gb generic usb flashdrive through the unpowered usb hub (works plugged directly into firetv2.

Google Hangouts (side-loads OK, but no contacts)

Hi All,

Thanks to this guide, I've been able to install working Google Play Store, Google Play Services, etc. on my AFTV2. I'm able to log into my Google account, and most google apps (Inbox, Drive, Sheets, Keep, Play Music, and Earth) work perfectly.

One exception is Google Hangouts (which requires syncing contacts). The version of Hangouts I've sideloaded is the latest arm64 version from APKMirror. It loads fine, and even lets me send and receive SMS messages. However, contact names do not appear in Hangouts (only phone numbers), and only my most recent contacts appear under the "contacts" tab. Same problem occurs in any older version of the hangouts .apk I've tried.

I suspect that all I've got to do to fix contact syncing is to add the necessary .apks, but I'm not sure where to start.

I attempted to side-load each available version of Google Contacts (1.3, 1.2, and 1.1) and Google Contact Sync (6.0) from APKPure. I can only successfully install Google Contacts 1.3 (the rest are incompatible). It starts, but stalls with the message "Contact list is being updated."

I've searched the forums for the right versions of contacts.apk or google contacts sync, but can't seem to find anything for Android 5.1. Before I try experimenting with older versions, has anyone had any luck with contacts / syncing?

Thanks
