NFL Sunday Ticket Tablet App

Can someone please test drive the NFL Sunday Ticket Tablet app for me on FireTV. I have the opportunity to pay to upgrade someones Sunday Ticket to MAX in exchange for their login. However I want to make sure I can use it on FireTV otherwise it is a waste of $100.

Would love to hear how this works out for you.

I side loaded the app and it starts but I have no login thus far to test it.

OK, well I suppose that's somewhat encouraging please share your progress once you get that login. Thanks

Unfortunatly I won't be getting the login unless I pay him to upgrade to Sunday Ticket Max. I am not going to pay for the upgrade if I can't use it so I am kind of stuck.

Worse comes to worse, you use the app on your phone or tablet and cast it / mirror it to the Fire TV or other set top box

One last time, anyone get this working?

I've got the NFL Game Pass app working (requires a mouse; I'm using Droidmote) so I'd have to imagine the Sunday Ticket app would work as well.

Thanks thats a start. I wish they would make Droidmote available on the amazon app store. I have a ton of amazon coins to spend and can't find anything to spend them on lol

So you side load the Droidmote server on the FireTv and run that in the apps, then exit, and it runs in the background? I too would like to get Sunday Ticket on my FireTv.

You and me both. I ended up just buying it. It's not without its shortcomings, but it's actually quite nice. One time the server complained that it wasn't a registered license, and I had to uninstall and reinstall it. But it's been solid since. And for the client I'm using an old phone which disables wifi when it enters standby and the Droidmote software doesn't auto reconnect. I have to manually do so, which is such a drag. I contacted the author and he doesn't appear interested in fixing this, even though it'd be rather trivial to implement that auto reconnect functionality.

I purchased iit and installed it from the Play Store (which I had side loaded). There's a setting to have Droidmote server start in the background which works well. I believe you need root for it

I can confirm that DirecTV Sunday ticket app works fine on the fire TV. Side load it and it works fine The problem is that it is entirely a touchscreen app so the fire TV remote will not work and you cannot watch anything. Droidmote fixes this problem, but requires root. If you don't want to root, just plug in a mouse to the back USB port. I have all the games up now! Good luck.

I side loaded Sunday Ticket to my AFTV, and can login and see the list of games. But nothing happens when I click on "watch game"...
Have you gotten a game to actually work? If so, which version of the Sunday Ticket app are you using?
PS: my iPhone 5S mirrors directly my Apple TV for the games, but it's choppy over wifi. AFTV uses Ethernet.

When I open the app it tells me, "current app version is less than minimum version". Then when I click 'accept' the app just crashes. Anyone else have this problem? I have a valid password but cannot access this . It is the version of the app listed by the original poster.
Thanks!

I had the same problem at first but then I was able to install it on my tablet and snag the apk out of /data/app folder. Both the phone version and the tablet version install fine on the firetv and even the game info updates however I can't get it steam a live game so far. I am trying to do it via the browser now but so far I know Chrome won't work.

would there be any way for you to post that apk you snagged out of your /data/app folder? Is that against forum rules?
I'm sorry I just don't have another android device to get it from.
Thanks!

I don't see why not, it's free... FYI I tried the fake wifi exposed module that didn't help either...

Thanks a lot for posting that! It worked just fine - no errors like last time! I did notice it's one point version back from the version that's currently in the play store.
Anyway, I started it up, highlights, stats, work fine. However, I tried to stream a live game and got this error:
"Due to NFL rules, local broadcast or non-sellout games are not available to stream on your device."
It was towards the end of the 4pm games... so maybe I'll try again tonight and see if i can get it to work.
Any progress for you? Did you get the same error?

I saw that message as well on the Dallas game. I was mostly trying to get the redzone channel working. I gave up for this week no luck with either app nor any browser. Luckily the games I wanted to watch were in my local market this week. The tablet app works fine on my hp touchpad running ICS.

This version looks like the tablet version, WAY nicer than the phone app I tried before on the AFTV
The Sunday Ticket games are over for the week, but I was able to watch some replay highlights, and did see errors about games not being a part of the Sunday ticket package. The highlights played in full screen, and with Ethernet had better quality than Airplay from the iPhone.
When I tried to click the Red Zone channel it showed a loading circle and said "activating" and never loaded. I'm not sure if it's just because all the Sunday Ticket games ended, but neither red zone or fantasy some currently load.
The big question mark will be next week... Will we be able to get a live game to work? fingers crossed.
Also - did anyone else notice the "record" button...? How could that possibly be useful? Lol

SlingPlayer (Slingbox app) stopped working?

SlingPlayer stopped working on all three of my FireTVs. Two have very old firmware. One has the newer one rbox released. They are all version 1 fire TVs. Anyone else having problems?

My dad just called and said he has the same issue on two of his Fire TV's. Something going on there for sure

I found this thread on their forums: https://community.slingbox.com/message/150715
If you google "slingplayer fire tv" you will get the link to the app on Amazon, but if you click that link, it says it's invalid. I have the feeling it got pulled from their appstore! I hope this gets fixed, because I NEED that app to work.
EDIT: Here's the response from Slingbox on their twitter site: https://twitter.com/Slingbox/status/746057507462733824

I saw an update from someone in the thread that this is Amazon's fault. It makes sense since the app page is gone from the Amazon website. You can still get to it if you google it and get the app details page.
I think what's causing it to not work is some kind of license verification in the app. I think it's checking to make sure it's valid, but it's failing because it's no longer in the Amazon app store. I tried experimenting with a "patcher" to get it to work, but it still closes right after launch. Anyone have any recommendations to patch the license check? BTW, this is not a paid app. Nobody is stealing it. We can't get it to run on the hardware it's supposed to run on.

Just spoke to Amazon. The tech support team indicated they have officially dropped support for the Slingplayer app. Fortunately I purchased my M1 and Fire TV stick 29 days ago so they are both on their way back to Amazon. Very, very disappointed. Amazon used to be a great company. Now they seem to no longer give a damn about thir customers. Sorry for the bad news. First Boxee, now Amazon. I'm done with Slingbox for good after this.

This is insane. Is there anything similar to a slingbox? There's gotta be some live streaming hardware I could leverage.

New post from Slingbox on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Slingbox/status/747472537190170624
FireTV/Slingplayer: we plan to release an updated, working app for Slingplayer/FireTV tomorrow at the earliest. Thank you for your patience!

Just downloaded 3.0.9 and it works on my older OS Fire TV. Should work for them all.
EDIT: You may need to uninstall 3.0.8 from the Manage Installed Applications screen under settings. The regular uninstall doesn't get rid of the old version sometimes. I think it may be due to me attempting to sideload 3.0.8 after it was pulled from the appstore.

why does my netflix looks scrambled? rooted ftv 5.0.4

on my rooted ftv 5.0.4, netflix menu/selection it looks almost like scrambled...shows play fine but its hard to pick anything... i tried deleting the cache/data/reinstalling/rebooting/ and nothing.. even installing the latest apk from google and nothing
any ideas?

I have the same issue with the Netflix menus on FireTV 2 rooted 5.0.5. Repeating patterns of bitmap graphic segments and portions of photos are scrambled over the program selection menus as well as the progress bar overlay during pause and fast forward. Video playback is fine, so I gave up after spending a couple hours trying various methods to fix it. For me, this issue seemed to happen independently of any Amazon OS or Netflix updates. The same Netflix version previously worked fine on both 5.0.4 and 5.0.5.
Repair methods attempted:
Cleared data and cache - same result
Uninstalled and reinstalled latest FireTV version of Netflix - same result
Installed older as well as newer versions of Netflix for AndroidTV - same result; every version appeared exactly identical to the FireTV version
Installed Android phone version of Netflix - works properly, but is awkward to use and seems to use a completely seperate set of files from the TV version

i havent tried netflix for full android but i tried everything u did too and we are on the same boat...
here is a link for more individuals having same issue...
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/4o5czq/netflix_scrambled_issue_on_brand_new_fire_tv/

either update to newer OS or install older Netflix.apk (though it will autoupdate?!)

I have the same problem-- scrambled menu on Netflix. It's the only streaming service that scrambles (and it only does it on TV, not on my phone or laptop). Furthermore, it began when I had Time-Warner/Spectrum, but this month I switched to Verizon/Fios and it is still scrambling. Netflix is the only constant here, so it has to be a Netflix problem. I've tried all the solutions mentioned above, and it still scrambles-- usually the menu, but sometimes also the show I start playing. When I called Netflix, the asked me -- get this!-- to list the channels it happens to. My reply was to ask them if they knew how much work that would involve-- they have hundreds if not thousands of programs-- and that, furthermore, I wouldn't do that if they paid me. I'm a customer, not tech support. (Sorry not to be of any help in solving the problem; just adding to the chorus.)

Netflix - device incompatible

I was messing around with xposed and Sony framework for ps4 remote play. I tried running Netflix and got an error, don't remember syntax. So deleted Netflix and tried to DL and now it won't show in play store . went to history to see it and says incompatible. So I did a dirty flash of same older ROM, same thing. So i did a full reset and installed lineage and same thing, incompatible. What am I missing?
Bad enough my nexus' rotation is broke, touch screen randomly doesn't take inputs, usb port broken, only charges and can't connect PC for files. Wireless charging randomly doesn't work and drains over night, etc. The one thing I had was some browsing and Netflix.

I had the same thing, the last update of Netflix it said it was incompatible and since then it doesn't show in the Play Store. Luckily I still have the previous version installed, but failing that you could try installing version 4.8.5 from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862715472

****ers. This did it meanwhile I thought my **** was broken bad.
Now lineage looks OK but typing in browser has 2 second delay before showing on screen.

Incidentally having looked further into the Netflix problem, apparently this is deliberate on Netflix's part; they've just decided not to allow installation on unlocked/rooted devices. At least they haven't blocked it entirely, I suppose, but I see lots of people threatening to close their Netflix accounts over it - most of the recent Play Store reviews are 1 or 2 stars because of it.

Yeah people are getting their accounts locked and banned due to this. Such a silly move from Netflix, classic corporate decision and they think it'll help stop piracy with offline downloads then people using root to grab them and upload them. Seems the long way to do it haha. If anything this will drive people to piracy, however we who root are a big niche so I doubt they'll care.
Magisk will get around this but you gotta be careful as if stuff updates then SafetyNet breaks and you open Netflix you'll be screwed. Or use an old apk like someone mentioned further up. Though this may turn server side soon.

it's because ur rooted. the netflix company has started blocking ppl from installing netflix to a rooted device or a device with an unlocked bootloader. idk most of whts going on but i think it has something to do with androids version of widevine. u can still get the latest netflix by sideloading the app from downloading an apk from a trusted source like apk mirror. hope i helped!

New 5.2.6.0 update blocks all free app content on my Fire TV

The new 5.2.6.0 update was pushed out to my FireTV on Saturday morning and I've been unable to run YouTube, PBS, NBC, and Amazon Prime programming since then. All my paid apps are running fine so far - Hulu, Netflix, HBO Now - but when I try to load anything from the free apps, I get kicked back a screen or two and nothing loads.
I have one of the original Fire TV boxes as I bought it in April 2014 and it's worked great since I bought it. I was on the phone for over an hour yesterday trying to get some help from their techs but nothing worked including a complete factory reset. Something in this update is blocking access to my free apps programming.
I understand that I'm supposed to be seeing more advertising but that's missing too. I was told at the end of my tech support conversation to buy another box because the warranty has obviously run out, but of course, they stopped selling the boxes several weeks ago and I'm stuck with a box that only works for half of what we used to watch.
Any suggestions for my next step? TIA!

I'm not from the US, but I'm pretty this is sounding like some sort of cache bug.
Try going to each individual app in settings and clearing cache and data; if this doesn't solve it, then I would remove the app and reinstall it.
If this doesn't work, I'd try deregistering your Amazon account in settings with the applications stated removed; then registering again, this may refresh the app store's data.
Lastly, try a factory reset of the Fire TV; this is a last resort.

Ok so i have same issues the main one being allcast i cannot stream to tv from phone or kindle hd the firestick just tells me to install allcast on firestick... i have also factory reset and still the same issues telling me to install the app... tryed on my old firestick not updated to 5.2.6.0 and all app are working fine
Uk user

Um. For those of you with the app store problems, does syncing your Amazon account fix this?
This is if you cannot download applications
Go to: Settings > My Account > Sync Amazon Content
What if you install the app from the browser interface on your laptop.

Try to install it remotely from the Amazon site, and choose to deliver it to the Fire stick you want. If it doesn't try to sync your account.
I doubt the application being installed is at issue, I believe there is some sort of configuration issue for you with the app. I don't use AllCast, so I can't help you there
This application has stopped working since the 21st September on newer released firmwares, the application developer will need to fix the issue with newer firmwares for AllCast.
This could be correlated with the issues others have; I doubt there has been major API changes.

Ok thanks i appreciate the reply regarding allcast app guess i just have to wait for an update and try it again..

I did all of this during my phone conversation with tech support, plus I had removed and reinstalled those apps prior to calling in with my problem. We did the deregistering/reregistering my account and then we did a full factory reset, which also didn't work. Is it possible that I have a corrupt install of this update? And could tech support remove the new version and knock it back to the previous one?

Interesting questions. I've had YouTube freezing after a few minutes, since the update. I'll do a clear cache/data as see if that resolves it. If not a new YT install.

I spoke with tech support last night because I reported this issue to them about 10 days ago and I wanted an update. The guy told me there was a master ticket in the system regarding this issue. It sounds like the new update triggered an hdcp error in certain apps. Like the OP, all my payed apps work but non of my amazon or free apps.

I ended up buying a 2nd generation unit from Best Buy that arrived today and is working just fine. Good luck with yours - I hope they get it fixed for you.
