Spmc from the main app screen

I was wondering do the apps you select with 1 click purchasing on the amazon website get loaded directly to the main app screen of the aftv and if so would this include spmc? I have currently selected it but I don't believe I can recieve anything until i unblock the amazon links in my router and am not in a huge rush to do that.

It's kind of hit or miss, I have 2 registered to the same account but only 1 gets the spmc icon.

I wanted to try this but I'm worried If I unblock the links in my router and click sync Amazon content it will unroot.

Try clearing cache and data of netflix from settings--->Manage installed application. Try clearing the cache and data from Amazon Prime too and reboot. See if that helps.

Thank you very much for your help.
I'll do it today.

Depending on your AFTV software version, your Netflix client might have been obsoleted. I have 1.0 (old...) and got the following email from Amazon...shortly after, the Netflix client stopped connecting and cannot upgrade it without upgrading the device software. I'm procrastinating for now (running last rootable ROM), but eventually will have to cave in.
In your case, depending how much you care about Super-HD and Dolby+, you can sideload the vanilla Android Netflix client (good for 480p/stereo).
Hello,
As part of a software update, the Netflix app has been updated to improve the user experience. The old version of the Netflix app is no longer supported. You will need to update your Amazon Fire TV software and download the new app in order to continue using Netflix on your Amazon Fire TV.
To update your Amazon Fire TV software:
1. From the Home screen, select Settings.
2. Select System, and then select About. You will see the current Software Version.
3. Select Check for System Update to manually check for a software update. If an update is available, it will automatically start downloading.
4. After the download is complete, select Install System Update to install the update, or it will automatically install the next time your device is idle for 30 minutes or is rebooted.
After you update your Amazon Fire TV software, you will be prompted to update the Netflix app when you open it. The new Netflix app (white icon) is available for download in the Amazon Appstore. When you open the old Netflix app (red icon), you will be prompted to go to the Appstore to download the new version.
To update Netflix and delete the old app:
1. Use the remote to select Apps on your Amazon Fire TV, and then select the old Netflix app (red icon). You'll be prompted to download the new app.
2. Select Go to Appstore.
3. Select the Free button to download the new Netflix app. The new app (white icon) will install in the background.
4. Go back to Apps, and then select the old Netflix app again (red icon).
5. You'll be prompted to uninstall the app. Select Uninstall Now.
If the old version of Netflix is in one of your Amazon FreeTime profiles, you will need to remove it from there before you can delete the app. If the app is available on multiple profiles, you will need to remove it from each one.
To remove the old app from the profile:
1. From the Home screen, select Settings.
2. Select Parental Controls & FreeTime Settings, and then Manage Child Profiles.
3. Select Add Titles to Your Child's Library.
4. Navigate to the old Netflix app (red icon) and press the Select button on the remote. This should remove the check mark from the app.
After you install the new version of Netflix, you may need to sign in to the app again with the e-mail address and password associated with your Netflix account. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thanks for using Amazon Fire TV.

Thank you very much for your answers.
This time I've had lucky because I've erased my cache and my data and works correctly.
Thanks a lot gopichandpai

I'm having issues connecting. Always getting the Ui-108 error.
I'm in australia with the root so I'm wondering if it's worth losing the root to get Netflix working again. I've tried all the stuff below
1. Changed DNS settings to google on router and fire tv
2. Cleared cache, data. , logged out, deleted netflix app etc
3. Loaded the time zone changer so it matches the current australian time
I guess if I upgrade I'll only miss the root for directly connecting my 4gb hdd to the USB. I can always keep Kodi and just load movies from a network share. Just not sure upgrading the fire tv firmware will make netflix work anyway.
Any other suggestions?

You have 3 options.
Option 1) If you are getting the UI-108 error during playback, you log out of Netflix and login again. I think there is an option to reset Netflix in settings of Netflix. You can try that as well
Option 2) Try clearing cache, data of both Netflix and Prime Video from Manage your applications of Fire TV. Restart your fire tv
Option 3) Clear cache and data of Netflix. Uninstall Netflix. Restart the fire tv. Install the Netflix again
I have a feeling that one of these 3 options should work for you.

One more option is to, login to Netflix from your browser, go to settings and select log out from all the devices.
If none of this works for you, try contacting Netflix. Netflix is supported in Australia and they should be able to help you.

Thanks for the advice gopichandpai but no luck.
Tried clearing the amazon video app cache and data. Already tried the log out of all devoces from the web page
I'll gove netflix australia a call.

I was having the same problem like you and yesterday I've restored my device.
I've lost root in my device but netflix works correctly that for me it's the most important.
Have fun

i found the issue if you have kodi and playing some video and press pause and go to netflix wont work it! YOU HAVE TO STOP THE STREAM on KODI for there work on netflix. WHY? I DONT KNOW! i think is a kodi bug.

I have some issues with Netflix video lagging, like stuttering from time to time, or slowing and then catching up.
Seems like this app is not perfect?
Streaming Amazon content is flawless and works in 1080p, dont think this is a connection issue.
Rebooting seems to fix it for the most part.

Fire Phone and Chromecast - anyone else having trouble?

Hi all, I just got a Fire Phone since they're so cheap and have set it up with 4.6.3 and google play, most things seem to be working fine, but I am having some issues with my chromecast. Most apps seem to work Youtube, Beyondpod, Crunchyroll, Play Music and the Chromecast cast screen all work just fine, but Netflix doesn't seem to recognize anything besides my roommates Fire Stick, and Hulu doesn't display the cast icon at all!
Netflix and Hulu are my two most used casting apps so losing them would be a big loss, has anyone else had issues or know of a workaround?

I was having a similar issue. I couldn't find anything on fixing it so I ended up just flashing CM11.
---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------
To clarify: I'm on the 9/30 build. All casting works fine. They fixed the camera app (HDR still doesn't work) but you're still missing NFC. The mute button during calls doesn't work but there are some work arounds.

Tried using Netflix from the Google Play store rather than the Amazon App Store version? I have no issues casting to my Chromecast or my Mircast enabled TV.

I am facing the same issue with my prime video , even when I cast the screen I get the audio and the menu items around the video on the TV but the actual video still plays on the mobile.
I got so bored of it that I ordered a Fire Stick yesterday " I am planing to get a new TV so this one will go to the bedroom along with the Chromecast and Fire Stick and Apple TV will stay with the new TV)
I live in UAE so accessing the prime is a bit tricky without a paid DNS provider , so my plan is
1. Connect to VPN using Unlimited Free VPN
2. Start a download
3. Disconnect the VPN to maintain a good speed
4. Cast the download to Fire Stick
I already do the above, but on the phone without casting it.
the thing that didn't work for me with is Google Music, I couldn't find the button to cast to Chromecast ( I downloaded the Google Music app through apkmirror as it's not available in my region)

Does the camera work with other apps like mobile banking check deposit, or snapchat and instagram? Not being able to use the camera with those apps is the main reason I've chosen not to use CM.

There is no workaround, it probably sees the phone as Amazon Fire and blocks it from being able to see the chromecast icon. Flash a new ROM. You almost never use Chromecast on any Amazon Fire * device with Hulu or Netflix.

I'm on the 9/30 build and they fixed the stock camera app (except HDR). Instagram and other apps I use work fine. I can't vouch for Snapchat or mobile banking since I don't use them

No other apps give me problems casting. I flashed CM11 (9/30 build) and everything was working fine but as of lately Hulu Plus' casting feature is intermittent. Its there and I can successfully cast something. Then later on, its missing for no reason.

Hulu is just bad in general at times (probably lazy dev's not wanting to full fix Chromecast connection), that and HBO GO. It sometimes disconnects even on my Note 3 and LG pad and you can't do nothing but relaunch the app and find a way to kill the streaming.

Fire TV 2 youtube blocked

Amazon youtube app signin is blocked when I try to activate it using the pin on my pc. It said account has been blocked due to copyright violation but youtube is still working on google tablets and pc. Anyone besides me having this problem?

Nope. Works fine here on my AFTV2 with latest update.

Amazon youtube app uses www.youtube.com/tv and my sister was watching old tv shows that are copyrighted, so got the boot.

Your account was closed because, someone who you claim wasn't you, viewed something someone else posted that subsequently got taken down?
That's not really plausible.

In fact, it's impossible. Somebody's lying...

Try it for yourself if you don't believe me. She was watching "Two Fat Ladies" and "Justin Wilson" cooking shows and Google deactivated the Fire TV. I bought the 2015 Fire TV, didn't like it so gave it to my sister. Bought a Google TV box for me, never will buy another Amazon device.
Just to be clear the Fire TV device was deactivated not my youtube account. I made her a gmail account and linked it to the Fire TV and all is well.

LOL. Pretty funny story. You should take it to Reddit. Someone there might be stupid enough to believe you.

kodi 16.0 no longer show on fire stick app screen. updated to new app? 15.2 was show

version 15 was showing but the new verison whcih i just pushed via adb has dissapeared? can anyone tell me a way of bringing it back to the homescreen
initially i remember getting the app from the amazon fire store
thanks

Have you downloaded kodi from Amazon when was available? If so go in your Amozon account and delete app then go to your fire TV Settings/My account/ deregister account, sign back in and the re-synk. BTW mine shows up and I am on v16

:good:I can confirm this method works fine
