Im getting issues only in firestick device java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.io.IOException: Cannot set Url on media device

[ezcode147]

When I cast images or videos to fire tv, I get this error
SimplePlayerException(error:com.amazon.whisperlink.service.fling.media.SimplePlayerError@1661027, message:Requires ACCESS_HDMI_SERVICE_ADVANCED permission).
And when I debug deep inside, I get this error
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.io.IOException: Cannot set Url on media device
It happens on Amazon Fling version 1.6.2
Has anyone fixed it yet?

If I remember correctly, go to the Fire TV homepage and update the AmazingFling lib

@theduc0x do you mean to download the latest SDK from here?

I'm using the 1.6.3 version and still getting the exact same issue.

First I'm getting:
SimplePlayerException(error:com.amazon.whisperlink.service.fling.media.SimplePlayerError@74da573, message:Requires ACCESS_HDMI_SERVICE_ADVANCED permission)

Then:
Connection - calling Connection.close for device() [device: local=false, uuid=MY_UUID, routes={inet=Route(ipv4:192.168.100.8, unsecurePort:45663, securePort:40625)}] WhisperLink my.package.name I TWhisperLinkTransport - Closing connection for Service: my.package.name.custom.player on Device A21ABBFC202DE7CE853FCFC8BEC7A066 isClient: true Connection Id: 3299 Channel: inet

Then:
exception: java.io.IOException: Cannot set Url on media device

@petergoczan I checked and there is indeed an error, but I see it does not affect connecting and streaming media to Fire TV.

Thanks @theduc0x , I'd like to add that this java.io.IOException: Cannot set Url on media device error is also coming for the FlingSample project, the calling Connection.close for device() is still concerning though

Has anyone been able to fix this problem?
