I just bought a one time subscription to try out OnTapp, since I found the UI to be nice and clean and my parents will understand how to use it, but I can't get anything to actually play. I understand that OnTapp is simply a TV Guide that links to addons, but which one's will work? I don't mind paying for it either. I've been googling for the past 2 days without success and would greatly appreciate it if anyone knew how to get OnTapp to work or if you know any paid .m3u servers for the Kodi's iptv, that would be great as well. Also, are there any specific Kodi websites that might have guides/forums/support for the FireTv?
Thanks in advance!

Hi.
I am based overseas and I know there are restrictions placed on video streaming outside of US. If there are some ways to bypass this restriction, please share .... thanks
Not sure, but I'd say VPN, but it's more trouble and costly than it's worth. And I always feel like the VPN servers are snooping at what I'm doing. :-D
I live in Japan and Unblock-us works great for me, we watch netflix, amazon videos, etc, very easy to set up and it works perfectly on Kindle fire.

Register on unblock-us for a one week trial, change your DNS with the ones provided and then, if you thinks it's worth it, pay for an annual subscribtion ( as I did ). And honestly is worth every single cent, since I can also stream HD videos on my PS3 ( using the Netflix app ) with no glitches or interruptions.

Hi! Like Stocaprimo said, you can try the service for free first, just go to their website, unblock-us. I tried for maybe 15 minutes just to see if it really worked and was very happy with it, I could watch Netflix on apple tv for the first time and on kindle fire too and it's only five dollars a month, I changed the DNS on my router (netgear)with the one they provided and now all the computers and tablets plus iPads work great, it's like we were back in the US. Hope it works for you.

I was facing similar problem as I am a big fan of US netflix but when I moved to sweden, was missing it. Then I tried various options to get access and thank God an expert suggested me unotelly. It is a DNS service, now I can get access to netflix, hulu and rest of the popular US channels without any glitch. try their free 7 days version and you will love it for sure. If you need any help, just let me know I will assist you to install it.
Realize the two files I have are the promotional "Hunger Games" movies offered to Tab S buyer. Have located them on my exSDcard. Now, curious to convert to be viewed on a player such as VLC, etc.
Anyone have success at this for offline at-one's-pleasure viewing?
Thanks

Well...i've decided to join and want to say that I second this question.
I've been looking all around the web, basically everywhere on how to play
a locally downloaded wvm file on a computer or how to decypt/remove the drm
of one but to no prevail...have found nothing on it.
If you're wondering, I have a bunch of .wvm files that I downloaded some months ago
this year that I discovered on a foreign site. These .wvm files are an interesting bunch and
I couldn't figure out a way to play them/decrypt them.
I have however found the samsung ffmpeg files that I heard contains some sort of widevine
support however I'm at a fault of compiling/making it even work and stuck on it.
You can find that samsung ffmpeg by searching "samsung ffmpeg widevine" btw. =)
But I still been looking around and i'm starting to get nowhere after looking for months on end.
Indeed...and finding this thread and looking at some other threads on this site, I decided to join and
ask y'all the same question as skeeterpro asked...
Is there a way to either playback or remove the widevine drm of a .wvm file?
Any info is much appreciated and if you can't provide answers for reasons, I understand...
I'll be checking this thread once in a while, keeping an eye on any replies thus far.
Thanks for reading and i'll see y'all around.
This is weird, other video add-on are working ok but Icefilms is not connecting. All 3 of my AFTV are doing this and they were all working yesterday. I tried installing and re-installing XBMC 13.2, SPMC 13.4, Kodi 14.1 but nothing works, the weirdest thing is XBMC 13.2 on my Win8 machine can access Icefilms no problem. I am at a lost.
It is because the url has changed. You have to go to the addon settings and manually change the url to ipv6.icefilms.info, just add the ipv6 to the existing url and everything will work after that. You could have found the answer within seconds if you just googled it, cause their are thousands of videos on the fix, cause when something breaks in XBMC everyone feels like they have to make a video showing people how to fix it. You also could have did what anyone should do when they have a problem with an addon, go to the wesite where the developer has released their addon and there will be a thread for that addon that always has the fixes posted. That is what i do not understand, everyone always praises these devs, but they never listen to the devs, cause the devs always tell people if they have problems to comeback to the thread for a solution, but nobody ever goes back and instead they post threads elsewhere looking for fixes. People should stop praising devs if they aren't actually gonna listin to them and take advice from them. Not trying to be rude, but icefilms wasn't even released on this site and it seems crazy that you would ask for help here when you could have just went to the site where the addon was released and found your answer. Haven't you ever noticed that devs always say not to post their work elsewhere? They want you to come to them to find a solution and get updates etc, cause it makes everything easier if everything is in one place. Like I said, not being rude just giving advice. If an XBMC addon is broke its always best to find the release thread for it, cause all your answer will be located there.
Searching or Google is the first thing I did. Yes, I did found and tried changing the URL to http://ipv6.icefilms.info/ before I make a post on here. Changing the URL did NOT solve the problem.
I don't think it is crazy for me to go here for help because Icefilms works on XBMC for my Win8 machine and STOP working in all 3 of my AFTV which I didn't make any changes to
Thanks for your replay anyway.
EDIT: Ok, never mind. I figured it out. Icefilms was blocking one of my VPN connection.
I saw so many ads online for live channels and movies (including indian channels) but they sell for a lot and doesn't provide any replacement warranty if something happens to the device and they can access this remotely (which I am not comfortable with as they will get access to my home network). So I decided to get the fire tv by myself. I got the version which can be rooted (I didn't open it yet).
Can someone guide me how can I add those indian live channels or should I return it and get the one selling online (already set-up)?
Here's the links for online ones:

you could subscribe to Dishworld and use that login with slingtv app. It works very well and they give it for $14.95 for the first three months. you can also go back and you will get hd. If you are not based in the US, you could use unlocator which works very well.

Thanks for pointing that out, thats $44.99+$24.99 per month (after first 3 months) for the channels I am looking for. I am trying to cut the costs thats why I want to set up xbmc on fire tv.

After 3 months its $44.99. Whats the 24.99? Are those for english sling? you don't have to get that. And after three call and cancel and they will probably match the 14.99 again. Good luck with xbmc on firetv. I've tried those in the past and those are nothing more than a pain. if even they work.
This is great.
I did not realize the sling TV apps works for Dish world.
I have tried side loading the dishworld app but the remote did not work well on that.
Thanks navigates..repped u

That's cool. I too tried it out and was glad to see it work.
I tried searching the forum and Google, can't find an answer. I am trying to be able to remotely provide tech support to Fire Tv's/Sticks, anybody knows how? I tried Teamviewer Quicksupport but wasn't able to remote in like on computers. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If you are rooted, Teamviewer Quicksupport works well. When you are rooted and a remote access is requested, you will be asked to grant root access once so the remote view can work. I use it all the time for my parent's firetv overseas and am glad they are rooted.
I also tried contacting Teamviewer on this and their response was around Amazon will not approve their app for remote.
For my parent's firetv, it wasn't rooted, so I sold it on ebay and repurchased another one which could be rooted. Total net loss was about $25.

This seems really useful. I'm rooted but had some trouble connecting last night. Is it a paid app? I saw there was a full version but what does the free version get?
I already have a few ways to connect remotely to my computers so this would primarily be for my aftvs. Might come in handy if I'm at work and my wife has problems with it (which happens often)

I don't know about the paid version or the free version. I have a version of apk at home which I can send to you if you like. Just install that and you will have full remote capability. I didn't know there was a paid version of quicksupport. I have most of the needed apk's and have a batch file which installs all of them for a new firetv that I build for friends and family.

Yes please. That'd be great! Maybe I got it wrong. A quick search brought me to the site and it does say full version but it says free as well. And there's a number for sales and one for tech support? Never seen that but haven't looked to deeply. Could be like an open source type deal which is donation optional for personal use but you need a license for business. Anyways, yes I'd like to try your apk when you have time. Thanks!

Thanks! Oh yeah, I can definetly manage the apk install lol. I think I just got a little confused with the setup. When I installed it the other nite it asked for a remote but then the only other thing I found was quicksupport (which I assumed you'd install on your android phone/tablet). That combined with the fact I thought it might be a paid app just made me think your apk was different. But I'll get it working.
I'm really surprised this is a free service. I use to have a similar app for Mac which was free app a few years back then they started charging. I actually don't even bother telling my parents about kodi because if it has issues they won't be able to fix it, but if I can do that remotely it changes things. I appreciate the time. Sorry for the miscommunication.
Not a problem. Let me know how it works for you. You need root to enable screen sharing and the first time you request remote access supersu will prompt for root access confirmation. Teamviewer is free for personal and household use and no adds. It's really good.
Good luck

I haven't had loads of time to figure this out but might know why I'm struggling. Can teamviwer not remotely connect from android to aftv? I've been trying to do it with my phone and then my tablet but do you need to use a PC or Mac as your remote?
That's the only reason I can think as to why I can't get it to work. But for me, it'd be a lot more convenient if I could use my phone/tablet since those are the devices I always have on hand or very close by.

I've been having issues with quick support only allowing screen sharing. I have a rooted fire tv 2 and a rooted Fire tv stick 4k and i'm running the same file you linked to
on the google play store. It never asked me to grant root permission like other apps have.
In the advanced setting of quick support there used to be an option to "Install Additional Add-Ons " but now that is always grayed out. So the only other thing i can
come up with is to find the Addon's or through adb manually allow root access to the quick support.apk.
It's doesn't make sense. this used to work on rooted Fire Tv's but not any longer. You post is now 5 years old and i'm wondering if your having the same issues i am.
