The Netflix app is not working for me all the sudden. Running hyperdrive release 2 when I go to login to Netflix it just sits there and eventually crashes my tablet. Worked fine with rls 1 I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried fresh full wipe install of ROM. Running p600 note 10.1 2014. Plz help!!!
I sometimes have problems with netflix, showbox and when watching videos. Not sure if its hyperdrive or kernal but what I do is reboot tablet and everything works fine.It doesnt seem like anyone else has problems playing videos but I do.

For me it wont even let me sign in with my normal credentials.
I tried fresh install with all data deleted and tried both stock modified kernel and their custom kernel and same results. but Netflix is fine with RLS1.
Just with RLS2. It is not critical but its annoying to me. If I can not find answers here I will just wait till Netflix updates and it fixes or hyperdrive updates and its fixed.

Im about to update my hyperdrive and ill see if my netflix will let me login when done.I cant imagine it being anything with rom though.It is kinda weird though.Ill let you know if mine works after updating.Im at work now and just have to back up all my stuff.Did you try to reinstall app?Also maybe try a older version of netflix.
On Hyperdrive RLS2, wiped data & cache, running stock modified kernel and latest netflix. Netflix works and loads video. I restored using Ti Backup though.

Ah well that sucks I tried uninstalling and reinstalling App but have not tried older version or TI backup. that would be interesting to see.
I think I had a similar issue when I was on stock. Haven't tried on Hyperdrive RLS2 yet since I haven't installed Netflix on it yet. Basically whenever I tried to sign into Netflix, it would crash. IIRC rebooting solved that problem, but you have probably already tried that.
So i just updated hyperdrive and my netflix works fine.I had it backed up with titanium backup and reinstalled through that.
I was playing around with reinstalling hyperdrive RLS2 options and lost netflix playback...... this XPOSED module restored login and playback. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101525

I can't get that to install on my note.... Nothings working ? it did for for a short time but I don't know why then went straight back to not working again.
Update:
the xposed framework I got installed and the Netflix work around seems to have resolved the issue thank you to everyone for your help with this. Netflix works like a champ now!

Hopefully Hyper drive or Netflix come out with an update to fix this issue but until then this will work fine!
Hi All
I have a rooted AFTV1 and un-rooted AFTV2. I have no problem w/ Netflix w/ the AFTV2 but for the last few days, Netflix complains that it cannot reach it servers on rooted AFTV1.
The SW on this is quite old 51.1.4.0_514006420 http://www.aftvnews.com/roms/
Probably the Netflix App has changed quite a bit. If you think my old SW is the problem, can some of you gurus guide me what would be the quickest way to move to the latest SW, hope I don't have to do update to every release.
Thanks in advance.
Ditto. Tried rolling back many versions of the app. Nothing seems to work. Unroot the only option? Anyone found a cloak to work?

The link below is where to get started updating a Rooted FiresOS 3 FTV1 to FireOS 5.
It's easy. But just make sure you verify you have every requirement checked off before. As long as TWRP is installed correctly then you shouldn't have any problems at all. Since a good install of TWRP will always let you wipe/flash your FTV1.
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-twrp-custom-recovery-on-a-rooted-fire-tv-1/
I was planning to write a walk-thru of my experience updating my FTV1's. But I ran into a minor SuperSU bug. So have postpone writing the walk-thru until it gets solved. But might write one once I update my 2nd of 4 FTV1's. Been mostly re-flashing the 1st one to try some stuff.
I'm hoping you get around to writing up this walk-thru. That would be super helpful!!!

Will try to get it done this weekend. Plan to mod my second AFTV1 from FireOS3 to FireOS5. With lessons learned from modding & re-modding my first one multiple times.
I updated to the latest prerooted rom by rbox (jan 8 2018) on fire tv 1 and now can't find Netflix.
Once I got to latest rom I realized my netflix was way old (from like 51.1.1.0) and figured this was probably the issue, so under settings all apps, cleared it's cache and data, then uninstalled. Now when I search for netflix it doesn't find anything. Tried resyncing my purchased stuff under my account and still don't see it. Should I try and reflash the prerooted rom again now that I've removed my old netflix apk?

Hey thanks that did the trick~! You are a golden god sizzlechest, with raw talent :good::good:
Update: This issue has now been confirmed solved for the Hulu, HBO Go, and HBO NOW app update error.
There are 2 ways to remedy the issue:
1. The prefered method is to update to the newest ROM. Rbox has issued an updated version of his ROM 5.2.4.2_r2. You can get a copy at the forum post here 5.2.4.1_r2. This updated version fixes playback errors in the new Hulu app as well as HBO (Go and Now) issues. Be sure to follow normal flashing instructions. Note - 5.2.4.2_r1 will NOT work for the new Hulu app (4.x.x).
2. If, for some reason, you do not want to flash an updated ROM. For the quick and dirty solution, post #12 gives instructions on correcting the problem. Note that this method only reverts to an older version of the app (3.x.x) and will not allow the new Hulu Live TV service functionality or the multiple accounts functionality. The same will need to be done for the HBO apk as well.
Original Post:
I'm surprised I'm the only one so far posting about this, but maybe I'm the only one experiencing problems.
The new HULU app updated automatically for me yesterday and immediately rendered playback impossible. Any show, movie, etc. comes back with a playback failure error code cdn-3-xxxxxxxx where the "x"s at the end change to different alpha numeric characters at any time. Here is what I have tried so far with NO POSITIVE RESULTS (in addition to speaking with HULU customer service support desk). I am on a rooted box using TWRP and rbox's system files (sloane).
Uninstalled and reinstalled app
Restarted AFTV
Unauthorized app via HULU website and re-authorized
Restarted router, cable modem, and AFTV (even a long term restart as requested by HULU tech support)
Updated AFTV software version (originally I was on 5.2.4.0 - then I updated to 5.2.4.2)
Wiped cache (Factory Reset)
As stated above, none of these worked.
HULU support gave me no way to uninstall the app and go back to an older (working) version, so I am currently stuck without a working version of HULU.
Here's what I'm interested in finding out from the community:
Has anyone experienced the same problems I have and then been able to get the app working correctly? If so, what method worked for you?
I can probably find an old version of the app online, however, I need to be able to block or turn off the update somehow... is there a method of turning the app update similar to how we stop the AFTV from updating automatically?
Any assistance would be appreciated. I'd really like the old version of the app back, since the newer version is crap.
This should be an old version of the apk you can try to sideload: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xw9rv2nxet2lchu/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-3.2.a.apk?dl=0
Thanks Sizzle, but I fear without a method of stopping the update I will shortly be left in a similar situation as I currently am in. Would you happen to know how to stop the automatic update of the hulu apk?

FireOS 5 UI in Settings/Applications/Appstore/ you can turn off the "Automatic Updates" for all apps. In the future you will get notifications about Updates. You will be able to ignore them or apply them.
Can you confirm that the apk I provided is the older version? I've already upgraded and everything works fine on my Fire TV 1.
Sizzle - I will have some time this afternoon or early evening to implement the rollback and turn off the updates that Y314K provided instructions to earlier. I will post back with results when complete.
Thank you again for the assist.
Yup... I posted this as an issue on aftv news. If your rooted the new Hulu version will not work on your Amazon Fire TV. Please let us know if this method fixes the problem.

The wife is not happy with Hulu not working and honestly she needs a stock always working AFTV box.
Happy Wife Happy Life! After searching a few different ways I'm unable to find a stock nonrooted 5.2.4.2 zip.
Might anyone know where I can download to flash via TWRP?
I can report same issue, it also effects newer versions of HBO GO
I've got a rooted fully unlocked bootloader FireTV 1 and am using version 4.0.0.342 as reported by Titanium Backup with no problems. What specifically shouldn't I be able to do? My hulu account is ad-free. Perhaps you guys are running an adblocker and do not have an ad-free hulu subscription?
Here's the 4.0.0.342 apk from my Fire TV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mgvqg1ugzhrjpr5/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-4.0.0.342.apk?dl=0
Here's the old 3.2.a version from my other FireTV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xw9rv2nxet2lchu/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-3.2.a.apk?dl=0
I am looking into this. If it is what I think, it would only be effecting the Fire TV 2 and has nothing to do with root.

Ok - Here are my findings. I attempted to install the 4.0.xxx version on both of my AFTV2 (sloane) boxes. Neither box would play videos (although the app booted and appeared to run correctly initially). Both are rooted with one running 5.2.4.2 and the other running 5.2.1.1.
After unsuccessful attempts of trying out the v4 app on both boxes, I uninstalled the apk, then rebooted.
Installed 3.2.a and success! Both units work as they should.
Although they are not the newest version of the app, I am able to play back video - so that is a plus
This version will not have the new Hulu Live or the separate account access to the app.
For anyone else experiencing this problem, here is the process I would recommend to solve this:
1. Download earlier version (3.2.a) of Hulu app (see Sizzlechest's link posted earlier)
2. Uninstall current non-working Hulu app.
3. Make sure your app automatic updates are set to OFF by going to Settings>Applications>Appstore>Automatic Updates - OFF
4. Reboot Device (may not be necessary, but what does it hurt?)
5. Connect to device via adb
6. Install Hulu 3.2.a.apk via command "adb install com.hulu.plus-FireTV2-3.2.a.apk" - keep in mind this only works if you did not rename the apk from Sizzlechest when you downloaded it.
7. Profit
You will need to re-logon to the Hulu app.
Thanks for everyone's help on this one! A real community effort.
Looking forward to rbox's discoveries on this subject. Thanks for all of your hard work on this and all of the other projects you've been a part of.

Sorry, forgot to address this Sizzle.
I DO have the add-free version of Hulu, but not the newer Hulu Live subscription. I am not running any adblocker software.
Okay. I have a theory on why both Hulu and HBO are not working. Like I said this is going to be a Fire TV 2 only thing. If someone is willing to try a fix, please PM me. Do note, this might brick the box. I really don't know. And if it bricks, it'll be super dead. But, there is a slim chance the unbrick program could revive it, so I would prefer someone who has a box that was rooted with my preloader instructions and not KingoRoot. But, if you don't care, and you didn't use the preloader instructions, and want to try anyway, there definitely won't be any way to recover it. I will say this again. If you try this fix, there is a chance it might brick the box. Just want to make that clear.
Is there a specific apk version (link) for hbo now that people have had success installing?

Sorry Duck, but I am not aware of the HBO Now app - I use Prime channels for my HBO subscription.
In the case of the Hulu app, I had to revert to the previous whole number version of app in order for it to work - V4.x.x.xxx --> V3.x.xxx
My suggestion is to just try some different versions in a fairly methodical way and see what works. It's fairly easy to install and uninstall via adb and only takes a few min.
Also, be sure to turn off automatic updating in the Appstore (different than updates for system), otherwise your app will just update itself again to the newer version and you'll be stuck.
Hopefully rbox will use his magical powers and get us an answer to all of our troubles soon. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the reply @chadster1976. Was able to get things to work by downloading an earlier version of HBO Now from the same place you guys suggested. Thanks again! Was able to watch GOT lastnight again on my main TV.

I'm willing to test as I have spare AFTV devices just in case. Just sent you a PM @rbox
So I downloaded @rbox 5.2.4.2 deleted the SU directory inside the zip as instructed, then wiped everything possible 3x upon which I cleanly reinstalled 5.2.4.2 and Hulu still does not work on my non rooted AFTV 2 Box. Direct TV Now works perfectly without installing HideMyRoot so maybe this is truly just a Hulu issue on AFTV 2 Boxes. @AFTVnews.com

Not sure Tekno. I was on chat 3 separate occasions with the Hulu tech support team and they claimed this had only been a rare occurrence... Take that however you want to... The extent of their assistance was resetting everything - including router, modem, etc. Then the final thing they suggested was a factory reset. I eventually did try that after updating to the latest firmware version from rbox. Needless to say that did not work. They couldn't help me with downgrading to the previous working version of the app, which is why I started this thread here on XDA.
All of a sudden last night, Vudu decides it won't work on my rooted N7 with pure nexus marshmallow. I tried a couple root hiders from google play with no joy. Then I tried wiping and reinstalling the ROM without rerooting, and it still won't work. Got any tips?
Same issue
I had the same issue start last night on my t95z plus. I tried hide my root and root cloak plus and neither worked. I worry that vudu marks a device as rooted and it cannot be reversed as vudu tracks devices already. Makes me really frustrated as I have been using my box as the primary vudu watcher and have over 100 movies on it. Stupid DRM hurting the people who actually pay to watch content. Let me know if you find something that works for you.
I installed the latest PureNexus Nougat, and Vudu still refused even though it doesn't come rooted. So I uninstalled Vudu, installed Magisk, then reinstalled Vudu. It works now, but will only play SD and I know casting is gone too. I wonder if I can get Magisk installed with the marshmallow PN I was using before.
So I went back to PN Marshmallow and installed Magisk 14.0, made sure Hide was set, and I'm back in business! Vudu works again with HDX playback. Don't know if it matters or not, but I made sure to uninstall Vudu before installing Magisk, just to make sure the Vudu install is clean and not "pre-tainted."
I had to be supermom and flash my son's tablet to work with his Christmas present (Lego Boost).
It went okay and the Lego Boost app works wonderfully, however Netflix, Amazon Prime et Al are stuck in SD.
I looked at the DRM Info and it says security level 3.
This tablet definitely ran videos in HD before I messed with it. Google didn't really help me with a clear answer.
Did Widewine change because of Lineage? I didn't even root it, just loaded 14.1 and Gapps, rebooted.
How do I get HD videos back?
Thank you.
Try this and set DPI @ 360 it may help ?

I have the same issue on an SMT-520.
Never figured out how to resolve it. All I can say is that downloading a Netflix show/movie prior to watching looks better than streaming it, but it still won't be 1080.
Sucks!
Which tablet is it?
On the SMT-520, I flashed the following ROM yesterday:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087014420
This is Android 5.1.1 based. The original thread is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-unofficial-resurrection-remix-5-5-6-t3218949
Then manually installed the Netflix apk from here:
https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57688
HD is back! But I can't seem to be able to download...
