This app worked fine about half a year ago but now neither the Xfinity TV App or the TV go app work anymore. I get a long unhandled error 106000 error on the TV App and the "go" app it just says im not allowed to play it on this device. How do I get around this? Much appreciated for advice
I think these apps only work over WiFi connections. If you are hardwired to your router, try unplugging your cable and use WiFi only.

Hi!
My connection at home is 100mbit, on both my PCs using wired connection on every Speed Test website I use I get 97-100mbit (Good ).
When surfing through FireFox browser on my Amazon Fire TV (also wired connection to the same router), I get 7-9mbit connection (Not good ).
How is that my fire TV's connection is SOOO slow? The only reason I have 100mbit connection at home is for streaming through the AFTV...
Maybe the speed test value is wrong?
Could it be that this is as fast as the network component on the AFTV can go?
Is there a sure way to test my speed on the device?
Thanks alot! :highfive:
There is also a flaw with Flash Player for Android where speed tests give horrendous results.
I recommend setting up Wi-Fi using a router.
Be careful with OTA blocking if you get one though,unless you are already stuck or disabled the dcp application through ADB rooted.
My speed is "okay" with Charter through Wi-Fi.
If you are fairly close to the room where it will be hooked up,you should be more than fine.

First of all, my WiFi router is right next to the AFTV (20-30cm), so it's not a problem.
Let me know if I understand correctly, WiFi will benefit better speed than wired connection? Seems very odd...
If the bug is indeed in the Flash Player, where can I check max download speed (for a file for instance)? Not a flash based Speed Test...
I got updates blocked through ADB (to never loose root) from amazon if that's what you mean (on the Fire TV itself, not the router)...
Just tried this app,and it runs perfectly and even has an HD quality interface.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest
Just "evozi" or "apk leecher" it.
I got with Wi-Fi 37Mb (megabits=one 8th of a megabyte) out of 60Mb in a large distance away from my router,so it is working properly.
I have Charter's 60Mb speed plan.
You should get crazy good results at the short distance from your router.
Stupid question... Have you tried using speeedtest.net app on your firetv to check the speed?
If you are referring to the ookla speedtest app,then I already have tried it,and said it works perfectly fine.
@Gaiosan Hi I am running on 300mbit down/upstream, I can able exceed 100mbps on my FireTV both Ethernet and wireless. Maybe your router isn't good or bad connection somewhere in your provider network. Who knows.
Maybe the ethernet cord is bad?
Or your router could be dying like mine did,which got replaced by an identical model to regain access.
And what test are you using to test for the connection? web-flash-based? or App?
EDIT:
I have downloaded the Ookla Speed test apk, getting about 70mb out of 100mb, so I guess this can be closed, Thanks for everyone that helped
Resurrecting....how are you working the speedtest.net app on the Fire TV? I did successfully sideload, but cannot click "begin test" when I open the app on the Fire TV.

There is a mouse app for Fire TV called Mouse Toggle For Fire TV. You install the app and double click the play button on the remote to give you a mouse. Tap play once to restore remote function I believe. Works really well.
You need a mouse or equivalent to be able to press the button.

Like many other apps, you need to a mouse or a keyboard with trackpad. You could also buy mouse toggle which turns your remote into a mouse with basic click and scroll functionality.
Hello, I have searched the Internet for a Slingplayer app for my Slingbox solo on my Fire TV with no success. I took a chance and sideloaded several APK'S, a lot did not show the video, only sound. I found Slingplayer for tablets 3.4.0 and got it to work, with a little fiddling the quality is not bad (SD) at 2Mps on a wired network. With an Ipad mouse app and an Ipad remote control app It works, I use the Virgin Media Anytime App to change channels. I would like some feedback as to whether or not this is a new discovery or if there is a better APK for the Fire TV out there...... Thanks ....Mark
I had this version loaded on my AFS successfully. However, since I didn;t have Google Play Store, it stopped working after a while since it couldn;t validate my license.

Thanks for the apk. The error message doesn't seem to occur until I log out eventually and then doesn't let me back in so just uninstall and reinstall and works again. Isn't ideal but its just like having to log in again after each time.
These versions have worked for me thus far on AFS. The first was made for a phone and second for tablet. I use the one for the tablet as looks a little better and for me has a real remote. Only issue with the slingbox remote was the bottom half was off the screen. To bring it up, using the firestick remote, placed the mouse over the slingbox remote and moving the firestick cursor up first, then held down the firestick select button, letting go when reaches desired location. Mouse must be over the remote throughout. Stays in that position until log out.

This thread is 3 and a half years old so might be a better way out there by now? Something with better quality?
There's a Slingplayer app for the Fire TV. Why aren't you using it?

the slingplayer application for firetv does not work with all slingbox models. I use the app for tablet and I have installed a version of google playstore posted in this forum. For the user interface I use an i7 Rii mini with the function of "air mouse".
1. Google Play Services 11.9.75.apk
2. Google Play Store 8.5.39.apk
3. Google Account Manager 4.4.4.apk
4. Google Gmail (Login Interface) 5.6.102685581.apk
5. SlingPlayer Free for Tablet_v1.0.1.apk
Wow, what an old thread. I mothballed my streaming boxes because cable set top boxes are becoming rare. But while I had them running, my slingbox and Vulkano boxes worked great for streaming live tv!
Hi I've recently bought a firestick and been very happy with it. I have downloaded the AllCast app via the firestick so I have the AllCast Receiver screen showing on the tv but the allcast app on my tablet can't recognise it and is just showing "searching for player". The firestick is showing that it is connected to the house wifi (as is the tablet). This is extremely frustrating and annoying. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Hi All,
Just thought I would share a recent 'trick' I worked out to get TV Anywhere working on the Fire TV.
you will of course have to sideload the apk.
A few things to take note for those who are unaware
*Geo restricted to UK residents only
*you will need a sub to use this service.
*you will need to setup your wifi connection beforehand
This method is far from practical and does require trial and error,
The application picks up rooted devices so if yours is rooted then you will need to hide the SU Binary and clear the cache of the app.
Launch the app while connected via LAN - while the application is logging in remove the LAN cable- during which time the fire TV will connect to Wifi.
Once you in you should be able to launch a stream.
Im hoping there are Devs out there who can automate this process or perhaps find some other workaround?
Good Luck.
using just wi-fi, couldn't you still connect without using the LAN. What I'm trying to understand is why is a LAN necessary for the handoff to wifi if in the end, you end up using WiFi to stream anyway.
Perfect example, I'm using a Nexus 7 with the virgin tvanywhere app sideloaded and running it through a proxy. Runs fine, no issues using it on wifi. Are you saying with the fire TV, it requires a LAN connection initially in order to work, then requires wifi in order to stream. Haven't tried it yet as I would have to wait until next month to remove one of my devices in order to register the fire TV with virgin.

Hi
to elaborate a little further, When sideloading the latest version 4.xx you will be unable to login, simply seeing "connecting" in a continuous loop.
I then sideloaded an older version from 2016 which allowed me to login, connect to the TiVo and view the guide.
When attempting to load up a stream error code D:14 appears (could be due to HDMI detect?), don't bother asking the Virgin TV Anywhere Mods about this, as they couldn't give a damn, in fact I have been complaining about the quality of the streams for years now to no avail.
Nevertheless the only way I managed to get a stream to play was having the LAN connected and removing the cable while the stream loads, once connected to wifi it works. trial and error basis of course and certainly not practical to do every time you wish to watch something.
I'm hoping someone out there can use this info to circumnavigate the issue.
Thanks for the explanation. Just needed to clarify before I decided if it was worth the effort in using one of my tvanywhere device slots for use with the Fire TV.
Hi all, I am using Dazn with a smartDNS, this works on my android tv but with the same setup on my firestick I am getting an error where it tells me to close the app to refresh video.
I have also tried with a vpn which gives the same result.
Is it possible the app can read something on the firestick to get my location which it is unable to do on the Android TV? The app works with no smartdns (but wrong region)
