Apparently it is not a technical issue, but some disagreement between google and Android. It sucks. The Chrome browser on a computer can "cast" a tab or the window or the full screen, with sound. So (I think) anything that plays in Chrome can be sent to the device, up to 1080 resolution, no more. This does allow to view Amazon videos on the TV, at the same time silently playing on the computer, which needs some power to do the job. And some bandwidth. The funny thing is that articles that I found about how cast Amazon Video (article updated last week) said to install an extension on Chrome from certain link, which now says the extension is discontinued - but apparently Chrome now comes out of the box with that capability. -- Cheers, Carlos.
