The Fire TV can't be connected to a PC by USB.

I only mention solutions that work for both iOS and Android as I use an iPhone and while I know there may be better mouse/keyboard remote control apps for Android phones they are useless to me. I will check out teamviewer though, it may work better than webkey in some circumstances. There is Air Keyboard as well if you prefer an actual app, but it does not have a dpad and standard media controls like lanmote does. To navigate remotely you are best off using an app like lanmote deluxe ($3.99) as it will let you use your phone as the controller via a very responsive web interface and it will let you use your keyboard. I also started using teamviewer with the android quicksupport app but to connect to the fire tv screen you need to press two prompts on the firetv which I can do now remotely with the webkey interface. It took awhile to figure how to register as a new account because the browser option was not working but I created a new account from inside the app once I started the server. Interesting, black screen? What android version are you running on the device? The app I have found that does certainly work for all remote control use with the exception of transmitting video prime (which I would have expected to be choppy and unusable anyways) is called WebKey. I have found a solution if you do not mind controlling your FireTV from a web browser instead of an actual VNC app. I am rooted and they all show a black screen, even if they may control the mouse and keyboard ok. I have the same issue with all the VNC apps I have tried which includes vmlite vnc and droid vnc. The problem is that I do not see anything when I connect. The server is running and I connect to it. My FireTV is rooted so I did not start the server using your desktop vaac program. We have users successfully using our vmlite vnc server on FireTV.ĭid you start the vnc server using our desktop vaac program using a PC? Using various clients when I connect, I just get a black screen. Using both droid VNC server and VMLite VNC Server. Anyone controlling Fire TV with VNC server? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Can't seem to get VNC working with Fire TV.
