Can't watch videos on Facebook or Twitter anymore. - Amazon Fire Phone

Hello, since a month or so, when I try to watch a video in facebook or twitter app, they immediately stop playing, and there is no way to watch them. The same has always appened in periscope and twitch but until now facebook and twitter never had problems with videos. Youtube videos work fine as always, never had problem with it.
Does it happen to you too?
Any suggestions?

same issue here on fire os 4.6.3, cannot play videos on FB app. The video just plays for 1-2 sec and immediately stops jumping towards the end

Another one with the same problem here.

I had the same problem on stock 4.6.3. I deleted Facebook and reinstalled it from Amazon app store, then restricted Facebook updating through Google play. Video in Facebook is working still.

anybody find a fix for this yet?

am running fire os 4.6.3 and have the same problem. uninstalled fb from google play store, but the fb on amazon app store is 'incompatible' with my phone (or so says the app store). any idea why that might be?

Can somebody upload the "incompatible" version of Facebook please and thank you..

Amazon has pulled Facebook from the app store. Can anybody post the last working Amazon App Store version of Facebook?

Interesting enough, Facebook is still working on my Kindle. So, I (in retrospect, stupidly) created a backup APK on the Kindle to install on my Fire Phone. When I tried to install it on my Fire Phone and got a parsing error. Will have to wait for a goodly soul here to upload the pre-update Amazon Fire Store version of Facebook...or for Amazon to fix the problem.

Older versions of Facebook can be found on APK Mirror. Here is a link to the most recent non alpha or beta version I could find that should work on the Fire Phone: Facebook 55.0.0.18.66 (Android 4.0.3+)

Thank you, thank you! The build you provided was too recent. So, I had to go all the way back to Facebook 45.0.0.36.146 (Android 4.0.3+) and video is working again! :good:

It seems that at the beginning of August last year there was an update to the Silk browser which broke video playback in many Fire tablets. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cust...QQ7V&cdThread=Tx1NRB3LVTX30RF&cdPage=4&cdSort Could our issue be similar? The tablet issue was finally fixed. It appears that with Silk being the default, and part of the OS, it broke something system wide.

[Q] Latest Netflix App Issue

Hello e-980 users,
I'm trying to execute latest Netflix 3.6.1 app on my e-980, and I see split video. Has anyone else faced the same issue?
Could anyone of you please upload the apk who could view the video properly?
I'm on CM 11 and have not logged in to Google, so has no access to Play Store.
Thanks in advance!
I also have the issue. I am unaware if it is because of the app, or the update itself. It's been broken since 4.4.2. Currently running 4.4.4 and the issues still persists. I assume it is an issue with KK itself, as many people have reported similar issues in other apps.
Hopefully it'll be worked out soon. At least YouTube still works.
Try Netflix black. Search for it

I tried that several times even uninstalled the app but no luck. Thanks a lot for your reply.
The modded version of YouTube app does not require root on FireTV since there is no system app.
Go grab the YouTube HD Mod from the related forum topic and try it via sideloading.
Uninstall the normal YouTube app first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715
And if that does not work,try getting an older version of the GTV YouTube app since that one works really well and I started having trouble with the modded version being inconsistent and crashing.

App/Game compatibility list.

Hi All
I just re-found a compatibility list by androidtv.news (thanks guys)
great work, please contribute your findings, and be careful when you edit (there seems to be a few rows with no name, unfortunately by an edit)
I'll ask the mods to sticky it..

Also minecraft pocket edition now works if you install it from the browser

Add it to the list if you haven't already
Did anyone notice that the sideloaded apps started updating in the play store? Minecraft has been updading itself twice, even though its not available for download.

as long as the sideloaded apps have the original signature untouched, they have always updated.
Edit: Nevermind. The problem was me. User error.
I tried to install Amazon Video but received errors. Anyone else have the same experience? Thanks.
for some reason realMyst only works on my 2015 not my 2017
I like OpenArena, but it is essentially single player only. No multiplayer servers are around.
Anyone want to compile this for Android?

Anyone have an updated link to the compatibility list? Link in the OP no longer works.
Netflix TV Os
Hi,
I'm struggling on the internet for information I'm after and you might be able to help! I want to get a media player with the official Android TV OS (the same one as the Shield - not the other normal media boxes). Simply put - in SA we have unstable internet connections. For Netflix on Android TV OS, does it allow for offline downloading? People have suggested popcorn time but I want to support creators and anyway, Netflix is good enough. So, can anyone tell me whether the Netflix App for the official Android TV OS supports offline mode (ie downloaded episodes like you have in normal Netflix on Android).
Thanks Tom

Facebook and Associated apps

The problem im facing here is that i got this phone.. Downloaded and installed the Google Play Store & all, so i have th eplay store working. all things are going smooth except for the Facebook app..
On the Amazon App Store.. It says, "Currently Unavailable" and when I installed it through Google Play Store, It crashes.
almost every app that has a "login through faceook" is crashing as soon as tap it (The facebook Connet / Login bubble)
however the Facebook Lite app and Messenger work fine.. The other app like "moments" or direct facebook app plugins are crashing.
I am rooted and running the latest Fire OS. 4.6.6
Any ideas?
You could try:
Puffin for Facebook
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffinFB
Download Facebook 68.0.0.37.59 from apkmirror.

Facebook broke on FireOS around V61. The version on the Amazon App Store is very old (like V48 or something) but does work, just not with the new reactions. Download an earlier version and you should be fine.

ya i guess.. earlier version of facebook and NOW with the addition of the messenger too, the messenger app now is behaving the same way.. Did some research.. its due to Amazon App Store and Google Play Store Conflict. Lets see if someone resolve it in one o these days
Thanks Mate, will try and update
