Based on a thread from this forum, I managed to extract BBC iPlayer from amazon.co.uk registered FireTV. I then sideloaded it to my amazon.com registered. The iPlayer app appears under the app section. When I run the app, I get the following error :
"App not Owned.
You do not own this app. Would you like to see more details?"
If I click yes, I am sent to a window that says the app is not found.
If I leave the error on the TV for a few minutes, I get the following error:
"Authorization Expired
The time to authorize the user has expired"
Any ideas what this is?

Why not just download it from Amazon? Or are you using it out of the UK? If so if you use Kodi I'm pretty sure you can use on there, I know they have an add on for im but I'm from England so I have no problem using or downloading the BBC iplayer.

Can't download it as my box uses amazon in US. It there a way for me to buy the app in amazon.co.uk and then have it transferred over to my account is amazon.com?

Don't think there is mate? Maybe one of the other forum members in the US could help? Sure you could use the bbc iplayer on kodi? Or another add on for that perhaps?

Never got iPlayer to work but got access to some apps by adding a yen giftcard to account and removing my UK credit card. I've since cancelled my Amazon Prime account anyway so have switched back to UK account and thus a working iPlayer.
EDIT: I used the iPlayer addon in Kodi as an alternative for a while.
Sorry I can't be of any more help.
Have you tried changing your Amazon account region to UK, getting the app from amazon.co.uk an then turning the account back to your original region?
iplayer works fine.
Firstly - install the app 'properly' - no need for this sideloading process.
https://playmo.tv/2017/03/how-to-install-apps-from-different-regions-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/
I found after step 4 you have to log out of your amazon account (say amazon.com) and log into amazon.co.uk (your login details will work over all the amazon.*.* sites).
Then search for the app and push it out to your Fire TV device.
You will also need to use a geo-unblocker to make the app/fire TV think you are in the UK or the app wont work.
Say unlocator.com - but just google 'smart dns' or 'geounblocker'.

Hello!
I'm from Spain and nowadays Amazon Underground doesn't work in this country. I've created an account in amazon.com (my own account has registered my adress) and removed the gps and localization permissions with permission master, and then removed the cache. Still doesn't work. Anyone knows how to "cheat" on location for using Underground?
You can try hola vpn, works for me. I watch prime videos and I'm in Nicaragua.

It doesn't work for Amazon neither for YouTube. Thanks, though
Amazon.com supports app buying for many countries, including Malta, where I live.
The problem is that when I am clicking to buy one of the free apps under the Underground section, it gives me an error about being not eligible to buy,
due to geographical restrictions.
Any ideas why this happens?

Switch your phone language to United States, than reinstall Amazon underground app and register a new account. This works for me. Hope this help.

Guys, if you have an Amazon.com account the best bet is to use a VPN service to make the servers at Amazon think you are in America.
I use one all the timer in Australia to buy books from Amazon for Kindle as the library here is pretty limited, as are netflix and a lot of other streaming services.
Just turn off the VPN when you want to go local - you can be in other places than just the US too....

Downloading app from Amazon underground is different from buying apps from the normal Amazon app. VPN is not going to work. The app check for the language setting to determine the location. Switch the language ,reinstall the app and register a new account inside the underground app. Don't switch back the language if you want to use the underground service.

Just to prove you wrong, I tried what you have proposed.
Activated the US server through Tunnelbear, made a test to be sure that my IP is set correctly at the Usa and then I logged in at Amazon com
Still didn't work. Any more comments wise guy?

Then the settings in Amazon is set to the wrong region... It's easier to alter those from a PC than a phone as you'll have to look for your Amazon region settings in your account...
Setting language doesn't do a thing... It is a specific setting in Amazon account...
You may need the VPN to access your American Amazon account after you have fixed this issue however as it will send you to the reginal Amazon if you try to go there without a VPN set using your phone...
Just a word from the wise...
Ok found the solution.
And of course it didn't have to do anything with VPN, changing phone's language etc
At the settings of the Amazon account, at the 'Manage your devices' page, I changed that to an address in USA and all options for downloading were activated.

Hey Guys,
I am an active member of kodinerds.net (German Kodi community) and the users Sandmann and dimbo developed a Video Wrapper to launch a stream with the official Amazon Instant Video App from within kodi.
So basically a Wrapper app is started to launch the Amazon Instant Video app and parse the url of the stream to it.
Updated Wrapper with FireTV2 Support
And It works great

When you choose a movie or TV episode from the amazon instant plugin of kodi it will open the amazon instant android app on your device to play back that episode.
The important point is that you are able to to it from within kodi so no need to close kodi open amazon instant search for a movie an play it

If you have the Amazon Instant Player Android App.

Amazon email and password ? You mean the same one linked to your credit card and account you buy things off amazon from and can ship to places other than your home Fruk That Ship.

Yes. I considered that immediately (although in my case I keep only a prepaid that currently has $20 bucks.) Too easy to order stuff and got tired of reporting accidental purchases to amazon.
Use at you're own discretion I guess but my gut tells me the password AND email are encrypted once entered. Under that in settings theres an option to "store credentials" and it explicitly says it's unsecure. The way I understand it is this is just a more sophisticated shortcut to prime. Probably worth investigating if you have a CC attached.

Okay I can understand it.
But you can open up his amazon test addon and find it out for yourself. Kodi Addons are written in python and therefor no need to decompile it.

I sideloaded a television providers app (Fios Mobile) installed on my device. The app was working perfectly but it just updated and I keep getting the error "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device".
I tried reverting back to the previous version but it was a mandatory update, so no dice. I tried sideloading the Google Play store but that did not help.
Is there a workaround for this type of error? The app does not API call any of Google Play Services. It seems like many of the TV apps are dropping support (they encouraged it a few years ago to lower bills) so you buy another Set top box. Other cable apps know you are inserting a device into a HDMI port and disable it from working that way.
I can download each individual TV app and enter my television providers password or mirror from my Android Phone but that would be a huge inconvenience.
Any suggestions? If there an app that will fool my TV app into thinking the play store is installed?
Since every channel pretty much has it's own app now, is there another app that will take its place instead of downloading each channels separate app and entering the password?
Is your firestick rooted? (Sorry, I don't know if they can even be rooted.) If so, there's an Xposed module to allow apps to work without Google Play Services.
Another idea is to get the Fios Mobile app from the Amazon App Store and side load that one onto your Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Services-Corp-FiOS-Mobile/dp/B00DGVUD9I/
That one may not have any dependencies on Google apps.

Seriously, you are giving me outdated information???? "Fios Mobile won't run unless you update Google Play Services". It would be nice to know where to find updated compatible versions for each. I have looked at several app stores and none seem to work. So please cut that attitude as your five-second search advice did not get me any further than I was before.

I tried two different app stores but not that Amazon one. Crossing fingers!!!! DARN. Just tried it and said incompatible, you can't make purchases from this device. Fios does support Kindle fire but as I suspect, they don't want the app as a box substitute like they used too.
Maybe, someone has an updated version of what Timmy P linked too. Hopefully, they will test the link first before making condescending remarks about checking older posts.

Because when I read that site from the original author it said FTV and FTV stick not 2 dumbass. Then I read the re-post on here claiming FTV 2 from MARCH 2017!! DId you not see where I said everything was working perfectly since September 4th!!!! Technology changes fast little tike. Google also updates and apps do along with it buttercup.
But I assumed someone with such a smug post must be correct but what a surprise you were not cupcake.
Since there is only 1 person who found a fix on the entire internet, it must not be a very easy fix. If it were, he could put it on APK sites for constant updates.
That is why I also asked 1: If there is a workaround. Easy/permanent if possible, so I don't need to worry about this update. Even easier if there is a 3rd party app that would consolidate all the apps and enter my default password for me.
P.S Being smug even when your correct is being an ass, doing so when you are incorrect makes you a stinky diarrhea with **** nuggets still stuck kind of ass.

Two things:
1) You need to install the Amazon Appstore app on your device
2) Purchase the app (yes I know it is free) through the desktop Amazon website. This will then tell Amazon's servers that you own the ability to use the app.
The Amazon Fire TV apps use license verification with the AppStore servers to verify that you have rights to use the app.

Hi,
The reason i asked for apk is because i cant download it directly from amazon appstore due to the geo restriction. Even with vpn it still failed hence i wanted to sideload with the extracted apk. Im sorry i kinda noob an new about this but all other sideloaded apk works fine except this.

I get that you are in a geo-restricted area. Unfortunately, Amazon makes it a bit more difficult to get Fire TV apps working correctly outside of Fire devices as is... and being geo-restricted doesn't help. :-/
I own a shield, which is why I responded in this thread, and I had been looking for an updated USA Network app myself.
There are technically ways to remove license verification, but I believe that type of discussion is frowned upon on XDA due to piracy concerns.
That said, I tried the apk myself as I own the app in my Amazon account. It doesn't go past the animated splash screen. There is probably more that needs to be fixed for it to work correctly.
Has such a thing not been developed yet this late in the game?
I saw some discussion on this as far back as 2015, but still nothing?
I've been out of the loop for a while so maybe I missed it.
Any help or clarification appreciated.
I know I'm not the only one who wants direct .apk downloads from amazon appstore's repo. (without having to do the tedious method or requesting others to do the tedious method for me... one .apk at a time)
No there are no mirrors for the Amazon App Store. There must not be enough demand for it to cover the server costs and work involved.
