NFL Preseason Live

Anyone get this to work? I have a valid account (it works on my tablet) but can't get it working on the fire TV. Hard to tell what the problem is because the log in screen is rotated 90 degrees. It seems to accept my log in but complains about something.

If that doesn't work, which it might not as its always been hit/miss for me, you might want to give FilmOn for random affiliates or try the Navi-X Add-On.

Yes, I've been doing so for a few months now. But I cant use the remote to navigate, have to use Droidmote for that. I wonder if the AndroidTV has a nicer version to use on non touch devices

Which version of play music do you use? I am able to sideload the app but I can not log in. Is your ftv rooted or have you installed Google play services?

Wrong thread... For Q&A Help there is a thread for it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/helpNever mind.. Thought this thread to be mostly about non-store apps. Guess it is for both... My apology @mag13 .

Turns out I was unknowingly correct...
Even though they're apps, they're still threads regarding questions about the apps. Therefore, they belong in the Q&A section

Try that one, you can swipe across your phone, bring up a keyboard, and use the voice search. The keyboard is nice so you don't have to use that pain in the ass aftv onscreen keyboard.

Extracting Playstation Vue app

I'm 90% sure the answer will be along the lines of either it's impossible, or you would have to edit the app to make it work on android.
But is there a way to extract the Playstation Vue app from the fire tv and run it on your phone?
Is it at least feasible?
TIA

Pretty easy. Back it up with es file explorer and send it to your device. It'll probably install but most likely you'll need amazon app store for it to work. From there I'm not sure. Give it a try

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow and report the results!
EDIT:
Well, I downloaded it using apps2fire.
It installed on my phone, but when I open the app, it says it's not authorized on this device.
I figured as much.
Guess there's not really much one can do, is there?

That was expected. That's all I know. The app is made to work for fire devices so unless you can trick it into thinking it's running on those...and I don't know that there is. I remember awhile back trying to get a game that was free for fire tv (paid for android) to work and had no luck.

There is a post on xda somewhere which tells you how to put the app on a non Sony device, I done this before on my Motorola xoom & my Samsung S5, after you put the app on you have to change the data & obb files for the app in Android/ to make it work, do a Google search or a xda search & I'm sure your find it.
(Sorry I thought you ment the older the one with the games not the newer app which streams tv)
But maybe this is possible soon? But it looks like if your in the right part of the world at the moment you can get it & even download it from the amazon store
Hope this helps If so press that thanks button

Thanks guys.
It's not really a necessity, more of a curiosity.
Also, deanr1997, I don't think there's an app for Sony devices either.
Far as I know it's iOS and fire tv only, besides ps3 and ps4, of course.

Ah ok, gotcha.
Yeah, it's a real great service. I'm streaming ps4, ps3 and fire tv simultaneously with great picture quality.
I get better channels then I had with dish, and for $55 instead of the $150 I used to pay.
But dish did have a mobile app that I could watch TV on the go.
Not so with psvue.
In any case, it's well worth it.

Just too add a little info about how this limitation might be working. I have 3 firetv devices and one of them is a rooted Fire TV v1. The prerooted stock 5.05 image is not yet available for this device so it is my only device that isn't on the latest firmware. It appears that the VUE app is checking if you are on the correct version of the Fire OS as VUE does not work on my V1 box but works fine on the other two.

I would like to try this but not sure it's available in the UK yet?

can you see what your build.prop looks like on the FireTV? you may be able to just manually edit it to trick the app into thinking it is a different device. What this might do to the rest of the apps however, I am not sure.

Anyone have any luck on this? I was able to install the android tv app on my S5 but it wont find a network for some reason. Would be great to have the fire tv version on a mobile device.

can you help me download kodinolimits i cleared all data from my box when I try to download it it says error check log

I read through the thread, and maybe missed it somewhere, but what exactly are you trying to do with the PSVue app after you extract? Or I guess more iportantly, what is the intent of your post? Outside of the obvious as you stated initially. This thing was a pain in the ass to get going on my rooted firetvs and sticks.

Anyone have the YouTube for fire TV apk that was released today?

I wanna try installing it on my fire TV (non stick) because they said they will add support in the "coming months"....

60fps video codec support.
That, and the app is very lightweight (being only 13MB in size), and doesn't require a browser to be installed.

Also Alexa support (I also heard Google home support but that can't be right)

I want the apk too.
Wont wait months for my FireTV (sloane).

Any word on this?

+1 Surely someone has backed up the APK and can share it. I'd hate to have to wait months for alexa search.

Youtube v1.110.0 (Google) extracted from Fire TV Stick 4K.
Once sideloaded, you may need to restart your device in order to see it on the main menu.
Works perfectly on both my Fire TV 1 & 2 boxes

Is this the only version released? I tested youtube on the day when it was released and it was playing my purchased movies in 5.1. Today it is only stereo. Wondering if they released update that changed this and wanted to try the original relaes from the day.
Do you have it by any chance?

How did you extract it?
I tried last night with adb to extract from my gen2 stick so I can sideload to my gen2 box.
Couldn't get it to extract.
Would like to learn how to do it since I have access to it (after every update). Thank you

Or just install TotalCommander from the amazon store, and copy the apk from "Installed aplications" folder to an USB Drive

For anyone needing a easier method to backup or install, you can install apps2fire from playstore on phone and fully automate sideloading and installing.
