I use J Player to watch streams, and am bombarded by ads, especially going back and forth between streams. I have Adblock installed, and I don't get them in Firefox at home, is there a solution for this on Android?
Check out "ROM toolbox pro" on the market. It has a good block ads setting in it. I dont buy very many apps but if your rooted and do alot of flashing its good to have.

Is it possible to get a backup of the WatchESPN app? I've gone through the System Dump and don't see any of the streaming apps. I'd like to sideload it onto a Vizio Co-Star to see if it will work.
it's already in the amazon app store for free
or you can always try something like: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=air.WatchESPN
I've tried that version of the app but it needs to launch in Portrait mode (even on a tablet where it is being used in landscape mode). This causes it to crash on a TV that doesn't support Portrait mode. I'm guessing that the app on the Fire TV is different.
Yes please could some one skilled in these matters post the fire watch espn apk for us forgotten gtv users?

I couldn't get it to work when I tried earlier. Amazon authenticates your cable provider with a code that doesn't show up on non Fire TV devices.

It doesn't even work on my fire TV.. I get a loading circle forever in the middle of the screen when trying to view the live stuff.
This version only offers 8 or 9 providers. I, for example, can login and use the regular android app.... But my cable provider isn't offered in the fire TV version.
Thanks for posting it. I tried it out but it couldn't install on the Co-Star. It said there was a problem parsing the package.
I was able to install on LG Google TV, was able to login to my provider Comcast, but when I try to play the video, "it loads, shows an error popop" and goes back to ESPN app screen. Looks like there is some other pre-requisite to play the watch espn app on Google TV.

that's cause co-star doesn't run jellybean or above.
For the life of me I can't get this app installed on my AFTV. have FireTube working, but this one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LV4D70O/ref=mas_ya_dp
just won't install.
Initially I was getting a "geography restriction" on the website, that went away and I purchased the app. I still cannot install it or "deliver " it to the AFTV.
I also tried getting the app from a buddy and sideloaded it, but it complains that I do not "own" the app and quits.
Any suggestions? This is very frustrating....and made me realize how much more restrictive the Amazon app store is compared to Google Play.
If you have access to sideloading,try the YouTube HD Mod from XDA itself. (too lazy to link,just google it/search in XDA forum searchbox)
If that doesn't suit your needs,there's lots of other YouTube apps out there nowadays,a few of them are really good.

I have that one installed and it doesn't cut it as Amazon f...d user authentication and I can't log in to get my subscriptions. I also installed Youtube for TV - which works beautifully on Ouya - much better TV oriented interface. No dice either getting past login.
Why are these monkeys unable to understand that making things proprietary will always lead to disaster. I assume Amazon only cares about their drone users gobbling Prime content - maybe they will abandon Netflix support too...
Should have mentioned I stay logged out with no issues.
Unless a login nagscreen is preventing you from using the app,you should be fine,albeit without subscription access.
I already installed adaway and it seems to block youtube and twitch ads - but those damn prime ads still are showing up before prime movies begin (which is sooo stupid anyway - why do you advertise prime to those people that already got it?! gosh amazon)
Cant be done without also blocking the video. If you block the amazon ad server, it errors out and never loads the show.

You can just install the old one:

Works for me. No guarantee Google won't mess it up. Follow the simple guide, disable updates.

Oh. Sorry.
I never even thought about that.
It's one thing for Google to block a free service but to charge a subscription, then make it so a significant amount of customers can't access it...its just a really bad decision.
I'd definitely contact YTTV customer support and complain.

Probably not. But I think Fire Tv is the most popular streaming device in the world. If enough people complain they just might rethink things. Or if you're persistent enough...maybe a refund, free month, credit.

Yes this version works perfectly fine on my firestick - you can also cast to the app (app must be open on tv) from your phone if you goto the apps settings and select link with code & do same on your phones YouTube app
I cast because the search function of the tv app doesn't show a keyboard input
Fire TV YouTube Download
just use smart youtube tv. casting and 4k video supported. everything works like old youtube app. not sure if login works, didn't login my account.

I am too looking for the Youtube TV app, not Youtube.
Let me know if you find a solution.
I sideload the app for the phone but the app could not determine the location.
How can I make the app locate my location?

Working YouTube tv
So I have successfully gotten YouTube tv to work on my fire stick 2.
com.android.vending-4.6.17-80260017-minAPI8.apk
com.google.android.gms_11.9.51_(836-177350961)-11951836_minAPI19(armeabi-v7a)(213,320dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
google_services_framework_4.4.4-1227136_androidapksbox.apk
google_account_manager_4.4.4-1227136_androidapksbox.apk
Things I've installed different than the thread.
Settings.apk for fire tv
Fake gps app from play store
I have used wireless adb to
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps,network
settings put secure mock_location 1
I will write up a full tutorial later today. I have another fitestick to test on, so I can start from beginning.
It's sorta a pain in the ass to get the fake gps coordinates right. I installed the app on my phone, then used the coordinates it read out, and typed them into fake gps using Cletus keyboard. It is important for negative - sign.
Notes are it needs a mouse to navigate some of the app, Cetus play works fine.
Feel free to ask questions.
You can try the app here, no Google Play Services required: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/app-youtube-tv-app-fire-tv-t3757074
Is this for YouTube or YOUTUBE TV?
