SlingPlayer for Fire TV no longer working - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It is being talked about on the SlingPlayer Forums and being said that Amazon pulled the app. Has anyone else learned anything more about this?

I have the same thing. The app will not load. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still NG. Checking with Sling next.

Just checked. Still Working on mine. Streaming locally from my slingbox, rather than remotely, but the app still works. Don't know if it has anything to do with me blocking amazon updates to the box, but like I said, the app still functions.
.....nevermind. Worked the first time, then when I tried it again, the app won't start.
Had to sideload the slingplayer phone version using a bluetooth mini keyboard / touchpad to get slingplayer functionality back. The slingplayer for tablet and slingplayer for tablet free version; both of them don't work either, only the phone version. Pretty pathetic for Amazon and Sling to give up support on the slingplayer app so easily.

They say they are working on it.

Keep up with their Twitter feed. Patch coming soon. Amazon OS updates broke their app.

Version 3.0.9 is available. You may need to uninstall 3.0.8 from the Manage Installed Applications screen under settings.

Thanks for the heads up. Downloaded and now it looks like the problem has been fixed.

My FTV2 rooted still can't find the SlingPlayer app. My SlingPlayer 1 rooted will load the app then close immediately.
Is it still fixed for you guys?

Both my non rooted FTV1's had the new slingplayer app available to download immediately. Took a week or so before it showed up in the Amazon store for my Fire TV stick. Tested everything last night and everything works fine on both boxes and stick, but like I mentioned, I'm not rooted.

Netflix app crashes after login details are entered

Hi,
I just got my Fire TV set up. Used Smart DNS Proxy as part of wifi set up. Installed Netflix. When I open netflix and login using login credentials, the app crashes. I can't go beyond login screen.
I can stream Prime videos, crackle etc but not Netflix.
1 click settings is correctly set on Amazon account. I have tried deleting data and cache of all the apps installed and restarted the fire tv but couldn't succeed. I even tried resetting the fire tv but it didn't help either.
Any help is appreciated.
Is there anyway I can enable some logging to see why Netflix is crashing?

I saw your thread on prerooted images: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/prerooted-stock-images-t2882337
I see that you have provided a zip update to fix Netflix. Unfortunately, I am on the 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 version so I can't root my fire TV. Is there anyway I can apply your Netflix fix on this version?

I was hoping that downgrading the Netflix app might work for me. I uninstalled the latest Netflix app and installed the old app http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FLJ1CFM/?tag=aftvn-20. But, when I open the old app, it asks me to upgrade to the new version.
I am not able to use Netflix at all. I hope some one can come with a solution soon.
Found 2 error lines related to Netflix. I searched for those and both lines are sometimes related to orientation issues. Might not be related to your issue, but figured I will throw this out to you:
Do you have any apps loaded to change orientation on your FTV?

No, it is a new box. I have tried resetting the box and installed only Netflix. Even then it didn't work.
Netflix is updated to 1.1.1 build 125. I am facing the same issue on this version of Netflix as well. Raised a ticket with Amazon. It's been a week. Doesn't look like they have been progressing much on my issue.
I hope some one here will be able to help me fix the netflix issue.
Attaching the log from the new version of Netflix.
As expected, Amazon and Netflix said they don't support the issues when Netflix is accessed outside US, UK and Germany. Looks like I just need to wait for new firmware releases on Fire TV and/or new version of Netflix to see if it ever works.
I hope some one from here can help me with the issue that I am seeing. Or some one finds a way to root the latest version of the firmware so that I can install some custom firmware or older version of the firmware to fix the Netflix issue.
This issue was because of HDMI-CEC issue!
I disabled the HDMI-CEC and restarted the Fire TV and Netflix is working like a charm.
Netflix is crashing again after the latest Fire TV update. This is so frustrating.
you're not alone
i'm in US and just receive my amazon fire tv stick
software update being done automatically during setup, so it's up to date
netflix is not pre-installed, so i install from store ver.1.1.1 build 125
the app crashses straight away after login using login credentials
Thanks for your reply. It worked for me couple of times but 99% of the time it didn't work me. Raising a ticket with Amazon didn't help either. They are clueless!
The status as of today is it is not working.
I sideload latest netflix ver.3.8.3 from google playstore and netflix working
However since this netflix version for tablet, then fire remote won't work on this version
I'm going to call netflix and escalate this issue
Are you getting HD on the side loaded app?

[Q] YouTube Crashes to Home Screen

Hi guys, i have searched everywhere and failed to find an answer. Please advise how can i resolve this issue. I have 3 AFTVs and all 3 have this issue. All the FireTVs boxes rooted on Version 51.1.1_user_51170220. Every time i start YouTube and select a video, it crashes to main home screen. If i also cast something using YouTube Casting, it does same thing. I normally use Kodi, but when i play YouTube, i normally reboot box or shutdown Kodi completely. I have also removed Kodi to test and it still crashes.
Hmm tried all, still no luck

Hi, my AFTV have this problem too. I checked Amazon Youtube App customer reviews and other peoples have this problem too. Amazon don't give any solution.
I am having a similar issue, but with Netflix. Please have a read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fir...fire-stcik-t3147348/post61636438#post61636438
I think the issues lay in bad coding in app development.

You can try to install the original YouTube app from the Google store. Link is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube&hl=en . The YouTube version I have currently is 10.24.57.
I have it on my FTV and runs fine with no issues. My FTV is at the latest rooted version. Note that my FTV does have the Google Play and Google Play Services installed as well. I think I read somewhere that YouTube app (from the Google store) needs Play Services to run.
I have also tried the YouTube for Google TV app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube.tv&hl=en). But that app always gives me an error "Connection to Server lost". Despite multiple cleanups of FTV with regards to data/cache and re-installs and etc etc, it always gives me that error. So I gave up on that and just run the original app.

Ok, I installed the Amazon version (1.1.1), the one with the blue box that says "YouTube" in white fonts. This was side by side install with Google version. This works.
I then uninstalled the Google one, rebooted my FTV and tried the Amazon one. And that runs fine as well. I wish it didn't work so that we can have a repeatable bug, but unfortunately not. I also did the same steps on my other FTV (one rooted version back) and all runs fine, side by side and by itself.
Unrelated to your problem, I noticed a quirk in the Amazon version. Neither the wireless keyboard or the Amazon's official FTV app (on iPhone) can be used to search within the application. But keyboard functionality in the Google version works fine in the search.

Could be. Maybe you can dump the logs and post them. Someone can take a peek and see if something jumps out.
EDIT: I just thought of something. Are you actually running the version 1.1.1? From the version number, I am imagining that there is probably an older version. If you are getting an older version from Amazon store (because your OS is old), maybe you can try running the 1.1.1. Let me know if you need that apk if that is true.
Or conversely, if you are in fact running 1.1.1, maybe the older version might work with your older OS. But I don't have that version for you to test.
It use to work fine up until 3 weeks ago. It stopped then. Ill update the box over the weekend to see maybe that fixes it. Thank you very much.

Yes, I guess it should be the phone one (I have masked my FTV as a phone in MarketHelper). But no, I see no cutoffs or anything. It renders it fine on my TV. I have attached couple of pictures from my FTV while running the app (playing Steven Colbert in the background). One shows the picture filling the entire TV and the other shows the stats (which you can enable for any clip you are playing in the clip menu) for this video clip (so that it can be read correctly). I did set the "Quality" to 720p in the settings of the app.
The line for "Video format" shows 1280x720 at the end. I am guessing thats what it is rendering at.. But my knowledge is limited as far as that goes
It is interesting that the "Device" is listed as "Amazon AFTB 4.2.2", and not the HTC phone... Hmm...

Sorry, my Netflix works fine (always has). I use the stock Amazon Netflix app. So I didn't have a need to try Google's Netflix app.
Regarding MarketHelper, I am not sure. I guess you can try without it (it might work because my FTV is identified as an actual FTV in the stats image above and not as a phone). If not, it should be a cinch to mask your FTV using MarketHelper. I am wondering if the video is rendering correctly because my FTV is NOT identified as a phone.. LOL.

whats wierd is for me amzon youtube works fine but amazon netflix does not work at all.
i cant possibly figure out what can cause the difference?
but i CAN suggest that the issue is in the app developement of FireOS apps
Also are you simply using ADBfire to load the APK onto the stick?

No, I use command line ADB to interact with my FTV ("adb install blahblah.apk"). Glad that YouTube works for you at least. If I were you, I would load the Google's Netflix and see how it goes. If that does not work, start by wiping your FTV clean with no apps (I am not sure about the correct sequencing for reset/data & cache clean/use CWM or not). Install Netflix from Amazon and test it and see if there are errors. You can get a log dump from your FTV and maybe someone here can see an issue. And if Netflix works, start installing one app at a time, testing Netflix and so on.
Also, are there any geographical restrictions that are tripping you up.... Are you in the US or using VPN? I recently read that some content providers are actively blocking VPNs... Not sure if Netflix is playing that game.
I have seen that if Kodi is paused, Netflix will have issues (WatchESPN is another app that I have issues with when Kodi is paused). You can also try going to the latest FTV version (rooted or otherwise) first and testing Netflix before you take on this PITA and begin your installs from scratch.
Thanks for help mate, I may not have to go any further with this.
I have found that if I use the netflix mobile app on a phone to find a video, and then "cast" it to the fire stick, it plays every single time with no problems. Video after video no issues. I can even exit app on phone and it keeps playing in the stick.
You may want to try this with the YouTube app also because it offers the cast functionality as well.
Based on this I know for sure it is not ISP related or hardware related. It is improperly coded app that was not properly tested before it was released.

FXNOW app on Fire TV

I downloaded the new official Fxnow App for the Fire TV, logged in and tried to play something. Everything and I mean everything that I try to play brings up a 'can't play' error. Everything else works fine on the Fire TV ( netflix, Hbogo, etc. ) and the sideloaded FXnow apk app plays everything fine using a usb keyboard, so the only thing I can think of for why the official Fxnow app isn't playing is it's out, but not supported yet. The install app wasn't easy to find. It was buried in the search area, rather than coming up as an app under app categories, and therefore my conclusion is it won't be officially active until the 2nd Gen Fire Tv is released on Oct 5th. Anyone installed the Fxnow app, registered it with their cable / sat company and found out that nothing is playable? Wanted to find out if it was a problem on my end. Can someone please confirm this?
Thanks.
Just wanted to give an update to my problem in case someone had this same issue in the future. Turns out the problem is DNS proxy related. I'm using unotelly running a geo-proxy service allowing me to watch content from the U.S and U.K using sideloaded apk files along with using kodi for U.K content. When I remove the DNS from my Amazon Fire TV configuration, the FXNOW official app works fine. The official Fxnow app is being blocked somewhere in the proxy chain. So, currently I'm inquiring if anything can be done with help from my proxy provider. If not, I'll just go back to sideloading the apk version of the app and watch FXnow that way. So, basically nothing wrong with the app. Problem is due to my setup.

Fire tv stick upgraded to 5.0.5 overnight, killed sideloaded apps

I've been running a sideloaded app for monitoring security cameras. Overnight 5.0.5 was loaded automatically. Now, the sideloaded app used for viewing will launch, but stops running within a few seconds.
Anyone know what I have to do to fix this?
Its likely an Incompatibility. Did you try to delete the apps cache and/or data?
Technically it didn't kill your app. It broke it. I have seen is upgrades break apps until the app data is cleared. And sometimes you have to wait for an app update. You can always side load another. Or use aptoide/a web browser, to get another
Nope...this new version 5.0.5 broke the sideloading into the TV stick. I tried to sideload the app again, and it no longer works. I also tried deleting the cache.
This app is on the Google Play store. This Fire TV stick just became useless to me, unless this is a bug, and not a design change so Amazon can give the middle finger to Google.
5.0.5 broke it...please tell me it did not.

Did you read Skwerl23's answer?
Sideloading is just a way to install an app via ADB. It either works or it does not work.
Like he said, it's more likely the App doesn't support Android 5.
You won't get a better answer if you don't provide some information:
Which app?
Can you still sideload the app? If not which error message do you receive?
Did you delete the apps data?
Are you using other apps?
OK....found the auto update to 5.0.5, for some reason altered the IP number of the fire stick. I fixed that in the Apps2Fire, then I successfully updated at new version of the app.
Next I went into it, it opened, then ended as before.
I then cleared cache again, and also cleared data which kill the config in the app.
I opened the app, it stayed up, but wasn't functional since the config data in the app was gone. Also, the screen display was skewed with a stretch view, wasn't as it was before.
I managed to reconfig the app, then started live view of the four cameras I have and the app ended.
The app is Alibi Witness provided by Supercircuits for monitor of their cameras.
5.0.5 definitely changed something that this app does not like.
ON EDIT: I am not using any other apps...dedicated to viewing security cameras.

okay...
i don't know what's the reason it stopped working with the 5.0.5 update.
There are a huge amount of changes in Android and FireOS.
I would try the following things:
- there is a tablet version of the app ("ALIBI Witness HD: Tablet")
- factory reset of the fire TV stick
- writing a mail to the developer of the app
good luck!
Do you have firestarter app installed??? It seems to interfere with adb...I use agk fire app to sideload and even though app worked fine...it didn't transfer files nor install apks as it did before the 5.0.5 update. Once I uninstalled firestarter and restarted the fire tv stick the agk fire app worked just fine. It seems you have two issues...app from google play store not working after the update and sideloading via adb is not working. Might be related to firestarter app...

I don't....I got the Apps2Fire to sideload. BUT I'm wondering now if perhaps it is damaged somehow. You are correct there is 2 problems. I fear the Web Components piece which Chrome will not support makes this Alibi Witness software unique, and have a gut feeling it's involved somehow.
I can push these apps from windows since I can get the app direct from Supercircuits, and I might do that a bit later perhaps tomorrow.
I found the same after the ota, unable to sideload & lots of apps no longer working. I ended up factory resetting and just starting over. Real pain but all now works fine, and rooted easily.

[APK Request] BT Sport app (v5.6.0) for Fire Stick

Hi,
Been trying to get BT Sport app running on my Fire Stick. I'm aware that it has needed Google Play Services and Store to run for the last year or so and have loaded these but the most recent version of the app that I can get to install without error is 4.13.2 (2018-01-22). But this version just states that a newer version is available and to go to the store and update.
So has anyone got this installed and running recently?
I have a BT Sport subscription so not looking for a free solution (Kodi etc), just want to avoid the need to cast from my phone.
Thanks

Also having this issue, it seems that BT have stopped making the APK compatible with Android TV which is needed for it to work on the fire stick. Hence why the APK wont install. I also tried reverting back to older versions of google play services, bt app etc but it forces you to update google services, which once updated then requires you too update the BT app, in short in seems BT have finally found a way to get to charge people extra so they can use the BT TV APP.
Hopefully someone smarter than me can figure out a work around as casting or screen mirroring from a mac are rather crap options.
I use Downloader to update both the BT Sport app from APKPure and then, if needed, Google Play Services from APKMirror.
Still working perfectly for me.

Sounds like it might be a fire stick only problem then, works fine on the box, hope it doesn't go that way on the box as I'll have to get rid of my subscription.

I was wondering the same, i assume you are not rooted and after downloading the apk are manaually installing it. Therefore the only reason must be the sdk version is older on the firsestick as it uses android 5 as opposed to 6. we will have to see if bt sport works on the 4k firestick to prove this. Im not sure which version of the firetv you have but im betting its the newer one with android 6.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Fire_TV
We feel the same way too, continuous price increases, less games and less options to watch any content + less support will eventually result in our cancellation of this subscription and moving away from BT all together for internet too.
Yes you assume correct, it isn't rooted and I install manually after downloading.
I have a first generation fire box which is running software version 5.2.6.7 and Fire TV Home version 6.1.1.0-117
If there does come a time where it stops working for me I'll have to stick to using Ace Stream and saving money on a cheaper (but more data) sim only deal lol

I've got my firestick 4k and indeed it does install which means its a version/ sdk issue of some sort. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it running, it sits on a black screen when starting. Could you indicate on apk mirror (with links) which versions of
google play store
google services framework
google account manager and
google play services you are using, there are many variants so you would have to provide links to each release esp google play services.
I'm especially interested in which google play services version and variant you are using. I've noticed when testing some of these other apps fail to load.
I'm using the latest BT Sport apk.

Are you able to help with this???
I have been able to get BT sport app working on all my fire tv devices (fireTV 4k, 2nd gen Firestick etc etc). It took quite a lot of messing around but I finally have it down to 4 files including the BT sport app itself

Please share which files, which repo and which versions worked for you and if the order of installation was important, that too. Thanks

Hi there
Was there any further progress on this one?
Ave just got a Firestick and would like to get my Bt Sport is onto the tv if possible via the stick.
Thanks in advance.

I put the diggz repo mod on my firestick and I get all the sports sometimes I have to dig a little. But I always find a sport that I'm looking for ,always
