Hi Troy, I’m trying to access a different Netflix library than is available in my country. So I now have a fire tv stick attached to my TV and was running a VPN. Netflix gave me an error message, something about running a proxy and I couldn’t watch a single movie. So, now I am now running a VPN on my iPad and a VPN on the firestick, watching Netflix from another country, and would like to mirror my screen onto the fire tv stick. I downloaded airscreen, however the screen stays black albeit hearing the sound. I read somewhere… Read more »
Did the fire breaking installed the apps went thru the video and the text three times and rebooted tv router and devices couple times and screen mirroring STILL won’t work. This was an absolutely horrendous and frustrating waste of time. Uninstalling everything.
Thank you once again for the information. You are a godsend and your information has helped me numerous times. I’m new to this whole torrent thing though. I use a windows 10 desktop to download the torrents and tried to cast from the computer to the firestick using Allcast. It worked great for about 10 minutes and then stopped. Now when I try to cast and click the firestick on my PC, i keep getting an error message saying it can’t connect. Any suggestions? Thanks again for everything.
Hi Chris,
Are you using a VPN? I could see this interfering with the casting.
firestick/device (toshiba tv) doesn’t come up. just says “looking for apple tv”
Still unable to watch movies from iPhone to tv with fire stick.
Is airscreen available on all versions of the firestick? I do not see it on mine.
Hi there,
It should be. Your device may need to upgrade software: https://troypoint.com/update-firestick/
I tried to mirror the peloton digital app from my iPhone to Firestick 4K. It worked, but there a bit of buffering, and my internet speed is crazy fast. Any suggestions? I’m about to return the Firestick and buy a roku. I hear it much easier.
Perfect.
Thanks again
I was able to install Airscreen using your instructions and was hoping this solution would work for our use case but it doesn’t. Let me explain what we are trying to do and maybe you can help? I would like to stream to my fireTV Stick from an iOS device Netflix without an internet connection. We have a fireTV stick in our RV and like to camp in the mountains where there is NO Cellular connection available of any kind. We will select several things to watch before leaving and download them in the Netflix app and would like to… Read more »
Hi there,
I would suggest downloading the content to your Firestick within Netflix or other app and then streaming.
Brett,
Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn’t aware that I can download content from Netflix and store it on the Firestick? I thought the only way to store downloaded content was from another host device (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, etc.) and then retrieve it from those devices.
If this is possible I will need to check the free space on the Firestick and see if there is enough to try this.
Again, thanks for trying to help. I will test this and welcome other feedback or ideas to support our use case.
With airstream can you mirror streaming apps? Can you do a tutorial on side loading the XfinityStream App, that functional? Thanks
