When casting a movie from PowerDVD 21 to an Amazon 4K Firestick, using Amazon app ver 1.0.9 (ony one there is), the 4K Firestick remote does not work. It DID work using PowerDVD 19.

Why?

Is there a setting somewhere that enables the remote?

Appreciate any help.

In the new powerdvd 20 or 21, there is a the new companion app "powerplayer" (for both of Android and Fire TV models), and you can install the app to use the home network sharing feature without using the passive casting.

The home network sharing feature:

I'm not sure if the conventional casting way works in this companion app as well.
However, try this to check if it can crack all the rocks to let you play videos from PC to TV.
