Hi,
I had sideloaded Directv for tablet app onto my 2nd gen Fire TV Stick running latest version and successfully login to my account. However, the app is keep crashed randomly every time I run the app. it is a matter of time, sometime it crash during navigation within the app, sometime during streaming LiveTV.
Anybody had same problem with me? Please let me know how to get rid of it. Is it crashed because of Fire TV stick have lower spec than Fire TV so that it can't handle Directv app? Does Fire TV handled it well?

Hi,
My Panasonic TV normally switches on automatic when I press a button on the remote of my second generation fire tv stick, but this stopped after the June 15 update on my stick. Hdmi cec is turned on on the stick as well as on the TV. Is it a known bug? Or what else could I check?
Seeing the same on a Phillips tv. Stock FireTV Stick v2
Ditto, same problem with HDMI-CEC not working

I am also experiencing the same problem with Nvidia Shield 1st generation and the AFTV 2nd generation box. Each box got an update within a week or two from each other. After the updates, none of the AFTV or the NS boxes HDMI-CEC features work anymore. I have checked and rechecked and have completed a series of resets and tests to verify functionality, but each had the results of not working.
I am wondering if the developer vender is the same one that is hired by each company. If that is the case, then there could be more devices out there that is experiencing the same issue. Anyone have a fix or know of a knowledge database where I can check to see if there is a fix or a workaround?
Try the Home button on the fire TV remote. I noticed the same behavior with/to my LG television, formerly every button switched on my TV. Since the update only the Home works.

Has anyone figured out a fix to this? I am also experiencing this issue on my Samsung TV. I've tried all buttons, no avail. This issue exists on both of my Amazon devices: Fire TV 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen.
Same here
I have the same problem. Hdmi CEC stopped working on my Fire TV (1. Gen). CEC ist active on my TV and Fire TV but the TV (Samsung) does not turn on anymore. Failure is in Amazon device, because my Google Chromecast and PS4 do turn on the TV. A already swapped the Hdmi ports to exclude failure in the port on the TV. I'm sure the Amazon Fire TV is guilty. Amazon is crap in terms of software development and bug fixing. For example, the android companion app for alexa does not work on my devices with android pie. It crashs at start. Amazon support told me, I should test an older version of the app... several month passed, still no solution - that's very unprofessional. I replaced all Echos by Google Homes. Now it seems, it is time to replace all Fire TVs.
Remember Aereo? It offered streaming over-the-air TV service. The TV networks sued and Aereo lost 5-4. They soon went out of business.
Not there's a not-for-profit (i.e., FREE) version of this: Locast.
It works great on my PC and Android device. I sideloaded the apk on my Fire TV. The interface is smart enough to work with the Fire TV remote, but the streams will not play. I'm not sure why. Maybe it needs to verify location and can't? There are no errors displayed.
It would be great to get this working. I have a rooted Fire TV 1, so I can try installing apps to (maybe) spoof location info. If anyone has advice, please let me know.
Locast released their app for the Fire TV officially. Thread closed.
I know it says it's not supported but is there a way to make it work for my rooted Fire TV 2 box? I sideloaded one from APKmirror for the Fire TV but it tells me that I don't own the app and force closes.
Were you able to make it work?
I seen various reports, some on Reddit about being able to run the latest version of VuDu for Android TV (6.1.1129) on an Amazon Fire TV Stick.
On my Gen Stick, it shows a splash screen then immediately stops. Sometimes it shows the splash screen again withoutpressing anything.
I've mainly seen people mention that they use it on their Fire Stick 4K.
Other than newer OS, is there something stopping it from running ona Stick Gen 2? It says arm-7a and Android 5.0+ which should be no problem then.
I can start the tablet version of VuDu it will just require a mouse to be used.
Update:
