Will try that out and update.
Go with Fire TV closed eyes! I have 2 firesticks and have been using one of them for a while. I just bought a second one a few weeks ago. I also have Chromecast 2.0 which I do not use. If you are based out of Mumbai, I can give it to you to check. If you like it, you can keep it for yourself. Can work on the pricing (not a big deal to me on the price).
I have Kodi installed on both the firesticks with Popcorm Time installed in it! Works like a charm!
This is to connect your echo dot/echo/echo plus to a bluetooth speaker.

I used the FireDL option give as the third alternate method to install Kodi.

Other upside of Amazon Firestick, my view, it allows pass through upto 7.1 audio which chromecast with casting feature cant do. At the most audio with Chromecast will be 2 channel.
Ahh thats nice. Which source do you use to get a proper multichannel? Netflix? Although for such duties I have my HTPC.
