Sideloading Teamviewer Host works, but looks like crap.

I sideloaded Teamviewer Host 14 onto a Fire TV 3. The Fire TV is not rooted. I can see the screen but it's extremely pixelated and low resolution. I cannot control the Fire TV.

I got the image to look perfect. I had to edit the advanced settings in the Teamviewer client for the Amazon FireTV connection:



I still can't control anything through Teamviewer, but I can see what's going on.

Did you enable an air mouse or mouse toggle app on the Fire Tv to see if you could use it remotely?

I spoke too soon. The picture starts out good but becomes pixelated in a few seconds.

No. If I can't fix the image, there's no point to try to get remote control working.

This is a common 'issue'
I work in the technical support field, and, unless you are both running Gigabit, sharing the same router, stars are aligned, it will suck royally.
Unfortunately, the only way to 'cure' this is not ideal.
Example: For use on an actual PC, there is an option to disable background images/pictures, as that would really eat up data bandwidth and transfer speed and cause distortion.
So, that being said, we love these devices for just those features...the 'pretty stuff'
Team Viewer is an awesome tool, but, IMHO, not ideal for these devices, unless for basic troubleshooting.
