[Q] BT Sports App APK for Fire TV

Hi, newbie here,
Does anyone know if there is a BT Sports app APK that could be side loaded onto Fire TV?
I have xbmc and have access to BT Sports but I've got access to an BT Sports account login and I'd like to run it separately from Xbmc.
My Fire TV isn't rooted. I've seen what looks like an APK on a dodgy Zip file site that asks for bank details to open it but I'd rather see if there was a free version about.
I'd be interested to here if anyone has managed to configure this set up on their FIre Tv.

Yes it can be sideloaded, you will need a mouse to navigate through. I used a wireless keyboard/airmouse thingy
APK attached.

Sideloading allows you to install apps to your Fire TV that are not available in the Amazon Appstore. There are numerous apps in the Google Play store that may work on the Fire TV that have not been officially ported over. You can download these apps using online APK downloaders. There are also apps like XBMC, which we will be using in this guide, which are not available on any appstore and can only be installed by sideloading.

But use one of the two apps AFTV Utility or ADBFire to do it much easier then manually...

BT Sport App for Kindle Fire Stick
Hi, Could someone post the current version of the BT Sport Apk (2.11.0) so I can sideload to a Kindle Stick?
I have sideloaded an older version (link on this site) but this no longer works as the App requires an update. BT Sport App forces you to do an upgrade and stops any previous versions working. I assume there is no way to upgrade the app directly from the Fire Stick?
My google play account wont let me download the current BT Sport App version as says I have no devices connected (I have no access to Andriod phone or tablet). I've used APK Pure and APK-dl to download the current BT Sport App from Google play but abdfire fails to sideload (I get an "install failed" error msg). If I try to reload the old version of BT sport this sideloads fine so I know abdfire is working.
I have a Windows 7 PC.
Any help would be appreciated to either get the downloaded file sideloaded or a new link to the file (outside of Google Play) which I can download and try to sideload.
Thanks

If you want I have made a thread about working apps & accessories on the AFTV2 , look here -

Lots of apps for tv box and Fire TV on this site www.apk4.tv

Since the latest update the bt sport app sideloaded on the fire stick now just comes up the message it can't start as it doesn't have access to Google play services. Any one else having this issue?

Same here, can't get anywhere so removed it, will be back to casting from tablet now.

It can be made to work again. Follow the steps here:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-inst...amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick-without-root/
(You dont need to do the last step for Google Music, unless you really want it).
BT Sport app will then moan about the version of play services being too old, so download and sideload the latest compatible version of play services (For Android 5, arm64, nodpi). As of writing, it would be this:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-10-2-98-240-146496160-android-apk-download/
(I actualy think I installed 10.2.91 and not 10.2.98 above but I dont think it will matter)
After installing that, and rebooting box, BT sport would no longer complain but just go to a black screen. Gave up and assumed it wouldnt be made to work... but hey presto worked a treat a few days later when I checked again. Happily watched a game over the weekend.

hello someone can help me with the app Btsport, because I doe everything about to install the services of google play and always show me a error, pleases some help.

Anyone know what the current combination of the 5 files is, I've had no luck getting any version of BT sport to work.
Im using a Kindle Fire Stick 2nd Gen on Fire OS 5.2.4.2
Google Account Manager 511
Google Services Framework 511
Google Play Store TV 8028
Ive tried various versions of both of these but neither work, I receive the update google play services error.
Google Play Services
Google Services Framework
Any help would be appreciated.

The following combination of files will enable the BT Sport app.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...unt-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...s-framework-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...s-11-9-51-230-177350961-android-apk-download/
https://apkpure.com/bt-sport/com.bt.btsport
For the above files, version 4.12.1 of bt sport will work. This may help with other google service dependant apps. Install cetusplay on your phone and set it to mouse mode for controls within the app.

It all installed correctly, however, as my BT Sport service is provided free from EE, it won’t work unless the device has an EE SIM card installed.
Presumably that’s that then? Unless anyone knows any way around this?

Looks like the latest by sport won't install on the firestick, anyone have it going or have found a workaround o)

[Q] DirecTV App - What Versions Work?

Would anyone who's used the DirecTV tablet app on their aftv mind chiming in as to if it is still working, and if so what version?
I've installed version 3.3.7 on both my rooted and un-rooted aftvs and all I get is "Your appliction version is no longer supported. Please download the latest version from the google play store." when launched. The unrooted box is running firmware v 51.1.4.3_user_514020320. The rooted box is running whatever version I had to downgrade to in order to install the su binary.

I would also like to know what version is working, also if the phone app would work or the Kindle Fire app

I do not have a Directv account so I cannot log in, but I installed the tablets version and it opened and asks for my email and password. How I got it? I have 1Mobile Market installed. If you have a browser installed on your Fire TV, google "1Mobile Market 5.8.3",download and install 1Mobile Market. Open 1Mobile Market and search directv, the tablet version is 4.0.5, install it. BTW 1Mobile market is a third party app store that is an alternative to the play store. Its worth keeping a couple third party app stores on the Fire TV so that you can download apps without having to worry about sideloading through adb. I recommend 1Mobile Market and Aptoide.

Hi for us not living in the USA can someone provide us with the newest Directv app both the phone and tablet version..
I would believe I could use the phone app.
That's the only app I miss for my AFTV.
Now I use my subscription on my laptop but could be sweet to have it all in one box
Thnx in advance

Also downloaded the latest from Google Play and my Fire TV Stick says that the version is no longer supported and to download the latest?
Does anyone have a working APK?

Has anyone figured this out yet?

Thanks for posting that. Can I ask where you found it from? I take it the app was modified to allow it to work? Just wondering who did it and where I can follow for updates. Also, it would be nice to know that it's not grabbing any login info.

sorry that it didnt work you,but it work for me on the fire stick

Any update on this? I put the tablet version on fire tv and got it to bring up the login, but then got an error message saying fire tv could not open web links. I then put on the current version I have on my phone. That one I got through and seems to mainly be working (with a mouse or mouse program). I can get to the guide, select a program, select watch on phone, but then I just get the waiting spinning circle forever. Works great on my phone and my iPad. It would be so nice to have it working on Fire Tv or Roku or even a computer (but I can't get it working through any of my browsers, and the interface on the computer sucks compared to the apps).

The current phone version works perfectly (with mouse), but on WIFI only, wired wont start the stream.

FYI. I tried again for the heck of it and the tablet version (com.directv.navigator) does let you login now and stream with the Fire TV using wired ethernet!!!

Yea - same here. Unrooted stock Fire TV Stick and when I try the Navigator version I can't get past the log-in screen. I enter my credentials and then a webbrowser launches with a DirectTV website to enter further credentials but I cannot type on it as the DirecTV App displays a null keyboard which blocks the ability to enter the required information into the website. Has anyone been able to overcome this?

On my FireTV (not stick) - I just closed the Chrome popup window that asked me to login (without actually logging in) and the app proceeded to finish the login process from within the app itself. Try that?

I had the same problem but , for some reason, it worked after I paired a bluetooth mouse with the stick. maybe it was a fluke, dont know, but I needed to get a mouse anyway to use with other apps. I'm not sure if I am using the directv tablet or phone version.

Is it possible to install FireTV APK to standard Android device?

I have a generic Android TV box but I like how the FireTV video apps are optimized for use with a remote control instead of touch.

Try installing akgfire on your android. Dont think i used it for the purpose you stated but you might be able to pull apks from aftv.

Downloads are at bottom of first post

Thanks! We have to install the Amazon App Store or else none of the FireTV apps will work.
Then, we can install any apps from that.

I installed an app(MBC video app) on a couple of Android devices successfully after installing Amazon app store but got mixed results. The app is designed to work with the remote and not a touchscreen. Also the app in this case had issues with displaying ads via adFire. So your mileage might vary...

Logging Into YouTube App on 2nd Generation FireTV

I was able to sideload the Aptoid store and install the "official" Youtube app, not the wrapper app that's currently available. I am not able to login and see my subscriptions. The app works fine but when I try and login nothing happens. Do I need to uninstall the wrapper version of Youtube that's currently installed? Is there a way to get the darn PlayStore installed?
Thanks

You need google services installed. There are a few threads on how to install it, but finding the compatible versions also seems to be the issue. If you are looking for a version that will be available after the new year (if truly google blocks amazon) side-load and install this one.

It works like the current amazon youtube app, but registers as a TV.

Nevermind

I was reading further down and apparently you can view videos but not actually login to the account which is stupid but at least it's installed.

You might be able to get into the youtube tv through silk or firefox. Both seem to work ok with regular youtube and logging in.

Install the following for signing in. Youtube and services are working with these....
Google Account Manager v4.4.4-1227136
Google Services Framework v4.4.4-1227136
Google Play Services (AndroidTV) v11.9.51 (836-177350961)
Google Play Store (AndroidTV) v4.6.17
For youtube
YouTube for Android TV (Android TV) 2.02.08
I can upload a zip file for these. This should get you into running the YouTube TV app. If there is one, try the YouTube for Android TV (64bit if available)

[APK Request] YouTube TV for Fire TV (The live subscription TV service)

I have a UK FireStick and want to install YouTube TV (the live TV service) on my firestick. The alternative versions won't work, and I'd love to get hold of the official APK, which isn't available for UK devices, even when going through a VPN.
If anyone can pull the APK I would be hugely grateful!!
Thanks

No one here is in the US and can get the APK? Oh well, thanks anyway. Hopefully someone will post the APK online eventually

Apkmirror? Google the. apk+version number directly

Depending on your firestick, this version should cover all of them. It should run on any Fire TV: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-for-android-tv-2-12-08-android-apk-download/

You can get it yourself by changing region on the amazon store, there is no need for a VPN to download.. if somebody else gets it for you, and you sideload it, you'll just get the "not owned" error, anyway.
