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

So noone is able to log in? :crying:
you can't log in on the official app, but there is other ways, such as using the YouTube channel on Plex. This is because YouTube uses the google framework, and the OUYA doesn't have it.
Or install it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43253639

aaa ok, unless rooting and a little bit of work it wont work, but this does not stop ouya or someone else to build a youtube app?
Or does youtube demand this framework or is it just needed for the android youtube-apps that are currently out there?
I bet we'll see something official, but who knows. YouTube is owned by Google after all, so if they have any ill feelings towards the OUYA (which I do not believe they do, but others aren't so sure) it won't happen.

I was able to sign in using plex, but it doesn't really give you access to your account (or maybe that part is broke). You should also be able to login using a browser, but that might be more work than it's worth

Xbmc login works OK. Just not as flashy as the YouTube app.

Wich Version of XBMC are you using and wich Youtube Plugin?
The XBMC YouTube Plugin just won't work on my Ouya. I always get an error message.

XBMC Frodo, straight from xbmc.org/download.
The Youtube Plugin... well, not really sure on the details on that... I'll check the info on it. But it was actually automatically installed when I installed the 1Channel plugin. So whatever that is.
here's what it says in the info for it:
type: Media Source
author: TheCollective
Version: 4.4.4
cheers.

I think the youtube I plugged in was just the regular one that is there to choose from once it's installed, but I could be wrong. It was really late the night I setup my XBMC
Does anybody know what additional packages (besides the one needed for Google Play Store) the Youtube app depends on?

As far as I know, that's it, just the google architecture.
Also, the XBMC youtube is working pretty well, just use XBMCHUB Wizard and it'll be preinstalled.

The XBMC Youtube Add-On works just fine, but I don't want to start XBMC each time I want to watch a Youtube video. I am able to start the Youtube app though, but then an error message occures (forgot what it was about, something about not being able to log in, if I'm not mistaken)...
I would like to know if someone who has a Fire TV could share the build.prop system file here.
I have a Ouya console and I would like to try to edit the build.prop to make Amazon servers think it's a Fire TV and let me download Amazon exclusive games with controller support.
Its in my system dump.

Attached, from the OTA.
Let me know how that goes with the OUYA. I'd love to get the FireTV apps (Netflix, specifically) working on mine.

Wait what? any show without plus ?? are you sure? or is it only few shows??
I have sort of the same question but opposite direction - possibility of altering KFTV build.prop to allow apps from the amazon appstore that spamazon claims are "not compatible" with firetv, but if you sideload them work 100% fine...?

Yes omg why don't more people know about this! You can watch free content from any android device without plus... And yes. Only android. If you can watch it free on PC you can watch it portable on any android Device. (sorry iPhone ;3)
I made a thread about this and for the most part it was forgotten and buried.
I can do it using build.prop editor, But my question of "IS IT SAFE. " was never answered.
From the post thread in question:
stanleyopar2000 said:
Hulu allowed android users to stream free content that they can get on desktop free on mobile. It's only android. Not iPhone Every other platform (even the Desktop WIndows 8.1 app) requires a paid plus account. I was watching a full anime series (BECK) on the official hulu app on my Note 3 with a free account via chromecast screen mirroring. Using the Hulu Plus app on my smartphone. FREE. It's possible. I can jump on my Nexus 7 and go to the hulu app with a free account and pop on attack on titan without any issues (well with ads of course)
http://blog.hulu.com/2014/07/30/sample-free-content-on-hulu-for-android-2/
It says so here.
My problem is...is that when android hulu app starts up. It looks at the build.prop to see what device and model it is...and if it doesn't match the criteria of an android smartphone or tablet, it will be denied the free login.
currently my XBMC'd Fire TV has a "bueller" code name and a AFTV in the model area. Which is telling Hulu it's not an official android phone or tablet. I already used market helper to get full range of play store apps but that's just for the play store. My theory is that, if I change the build prop model and build names to my nexus 7 (2012) would it trick hulu into thinking the AFTV was a Nexus 7? thus allowing free content "sampling?"
I've changed the build.prop on my other devices for various things and reasons in the past and I can do it now. But is it safe to do on a AFTV??

I don't have an iPhone but I wonder if Fire TV/Stick qualifies for it?
interesting..
EDIT: just made a seperate free account most shows I watch Show H+ (to get plus) I got plus last year for someone for like 30 something bucks. Hopefully I can find similar deal I'd say Hulu is pretty good in my opinion.

No... The fire TV OR stick would not count. The Hulu app doesn't work for free nor does the sideloaded android apk.. But that's where the build.prop spoofing comes in. If I changed it to be a different device would Hulu work for free thinking it's an android tablet or phone? Instead of an android TV box?

Market helper spoofs the play store but the Hulu app looks at the build.prop to verify device.

Hey guys, I am new to android in general, but I am finding my way around. I side-loaded XBMC, and that works like a champ so far. Is side loading the google play store an option?
Thanks!

Nope, most of the Google Apps don't work due to the way they integrate with Android, which is stripped out of the Amazon build.

I was reading the info page on the new Amazon Fire TV Stick and it says
Download the Fire TV Remote App on your Android device (coming soon to iOS) to instantly search TV shows, movies, actors, and genres using just your voice

Even though the device itself is not out, the above makes it sound like the app is out and available on Android. I lost my remote for the Fire TV and really don't want to shell out another $30 for one. Where can we download this app? I have been using a wireless keyboard, but would prefer to use the app.
Yep, another one searching for it here...
It hasn't been released yet.
Mine is shipping in 2 days, and I still am not finding it in the Amazon Android Appstore, or Google Play. Could it really not be released yet? Anyone have any luck getting this app?
It is out now, search the Google play store

Works fine for me on Ethernet. Once there is a network connection, it doesn't really care if it's wifi or Ethernet. My firetv is on Ethernet and my phone was on the matching wifi. Are you sure your router isn't doing any kind of separation between the Ethernet and wifi?
