Question Have A Mag 250 IPTV box, want to send to firestick

[thejamiec]

Hey

I am trying to build a small home cinema and have just ordered a Yaber Y30 projector. I realise that I can send to the projector using plex server on my media server PC (running W7!) to a firestick in the projector's HDMI port.

I would also like to send the output of my Mag 250 box to the firestick. Any ideas on how I can do this ?

Do I need additional H\W?

Thanks

Seems like a very basic thing.

Flat screen TV would have multiple HDMI inputs for your many sources. Projector does not? then you need to insert an HDMI switch between or like people who combine video /audio, an AVR (Audio Video Receiver) will have that functionality.

Said with another words - move that Mag250 close to the projector, and plug it directly (or thru HDMI switch) there. These boxes don't have the necessary software support to cast, but many have the ability to be casted to.

Thanks all, some sort of HDMI splitter / switch with audio extraction would be good but I was hoping to find something that could stream the output to the firestick somehow as the projector is on the other side of the room (ceiling mounted).

Any idea of anything that could do that, without running a long HDMI cable to it ?

There are wireless HDMI bridges, but you won't like the prices....

What appls are you running off that Mag which can't be run from the PC?

You're right, to be honest - not worth the hassle. Will just stick to the media PC!
