Cannot stream from my phone to FIRESTICK

[TxDoc]

And when I hit Link Another App, mx player isn't available?

If the video is in your Google Drive cloud, you might have to download it so that it's locally stored. Or is it local already?

I've tried several apps and the phone or the firestick cannot see the other one.

Is there an easy, dependable way to play a video on Google drive to my FIRESTICK,?

Is this the same general question as your other thread? https://forums.androidcentral.com/t...er-open-with-mx-player-isnt-a-choice.1070707/

The video was downloaded. And stored in a folder in my Google drive account. I'm accessing it from that Google drive account.

Oh this might matter. I can pick my MX Player on my phone to play just fine.

Problem is using FIRESTICK Silk browser. I go to my Google drive and see the file. But, when I click, it just plays. I have no idea what player. I've downloaded mx player on my FIRESTICK, but when I click Open With, MX Player isn't listed or any other player. And, is I click link another app, it doesn't show any other app to link to.

Very confusing. Just dead ends. And, I have zero luck trying to mirror from my phone to the TV. Same provider for Internet and same network on phone and TV.. Sparklight.

Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I got frustrated and never got it to work and gave up.

Also not all fire sticks are screen mirroring capable. If you follow the steps and don't see the correct options you are out of luck.
