I can control with no problem on the nvidia shield home screen. i can only use a keyboard for apps this just started happening a few days ago for some of my apps factory reset didn't help anyone knows whats going on?
C&P for other site. This worked for me to regain arrow keys use on Nvidia Shield Tv in Stbemu.
An update to "Android System WebView" was released earlier this week. This update broke navigation of apps using WebView on Android TV. Some of these apps include Spotify, Pandora, Facebook Video and NowTV.
Google will provide roll out an updated app by Sept 5th. In the meantime, users of these apps should do the following to regain navigation control:
1) Disable auto-updates for apps in the Google Play Store.
2) Go to Settings(on Nvidia Shield) > App > Android System WebView and select uninstall updates.
After the update to Android System WebView is rolled out, you may re-enable auto updates once again.

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.

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.
Hi folks. So I went ahead and side loaded my first app no problem, Xfinity TV Go. Works great except I can't choose any of the menu selections or get the main menu at the top to reappear after it disappears. Buttons do nothing after the menu fades out the first time. Is this normal for sideloaded apps? Do some not function at all? Version issue? Thanks.
It's normal. Most non-FireTV-specific apps are looking for touch-screen inputs, so to use them you need some kind of mouse/air-mouse/touchpad device.
Okay that's what I was thinking. I knew it was too good to be true. What's the attraction for sideloading then? Thanks for the reply.
Mostly Kodi (or whatever version you want to use), as you're all-in-one media center for your local media as well as a huge number of streaming sources: it's 100% functional with the FireTV remote. The only other side-loaded app I've found (mostly checking media streamer apps) that doesn't need an air-mouse is Crunchyroll. ES File Explorer used to work with the FireTV remote, but this was broken in an update about a week ago.
With an air-mouse, most Android apps will work: if it's not designed for Android TV, it will probably function.
Check out Firestarter (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-root-home-launcher-replacement-app-t3118135) if you want to easily access side-loaded apps, it's excellent.
I really need to get this working as I can't afford IPTV or any live TV substription right now. Is their any possible way I can get this working? I'm one of the lucky few that live in an area that YouTube TV covers and I'm testing out their 1 month trial. Right now theirs not much options in reguarding to using it on anything other than a phone/tablet.
I've tried side loading YouTube TV onto my fire stick and I have google services side loaded using this guide from AFTVNews (sorry I can't link as I've not met forum requirments) as well but it's telling me I need to update my google services in order to use the app.
Here are the Gapps I've successfully sideloaded:
com.google.android.gsf.login v4.4.4-1215936.apk
com.google.android.gms v8.7.03.apk
com.android.vending v6.0.2.apk
If anyone can tell me which one I need to update specifically for the Fire TV/YouTube TV app is so much appreciated!
I would like also to know. I have an older FireTV that has all Amazon updates blocked so it wont update Youtube app. Is there a way to either download and sideload it or update just the app from the Play store?
after you do update services apk here APKMirror Google Play Services you will encounter the problem with not finding the location. That is where I am currently stuck at
Credit choice of play services from this topic
youtube tv
does anyone know of any device that I could use. to use youtube tv on television screen with remote to operate youtube tv?
I was able to side load the new Android TV app for You Tube TV. I get the new interface, but cannot play anything. When I click on a program it boots me back to the launcher.
anyone.. have any suggestions.
It wont let me edit the previous post.
Ok after looking around i found this helped me to get to run. I have not signed in or clicked on start trial yet. Short on time today..
1. get play services and store via this xda thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/guide-installing-google-play-service-t3672181
install both.
I installed these versions
Android TV) 8.0.28.R-xhdpi [8] [PR] 163004339 (320dpi) (Android 5.0+).
Google Play services (Android TV) 11.7.44 (836-173432861) .
2. install the youtube tv apk
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...e-tv-android-tv-1-04-05-android-apk-download/
YouTube TV - Watch & Record Live TV (Android TV) 1.04.05 (arm64) Version: 1.04.05 (10405330) arm64
Package: com.google.android.youtube.tvunplugged
I hope this works... If not I will probably load the fake gps apk and see.
will report back tonight after errands
Got all 3 installed and YouTubeTV launches without error but i'm stuck there. It seems there is no way to add my google account so the setup does not complete. I cannot get the login field to accept text input.

I was able to get a step further by logging in, but when you go to select a show or channel to watch you get booted from the app and back to the Fire TV UI.

Same here. Anyone been able to keep the app from crashing?
So, ads play but as soon as the ad is over it crashes. Could this be something Google is doing?
I've tried adding Google framework and root cloak to everything that has been tried already. I've enabled mock location on fire tv and used mock GPS to set location. Must be a device model issue. App crashes before video starts.
Yep, i just tried tonight. sorry about the delay.
it loads, authenticates via the pc code.
It will play an ad for anything in your library then kicks it out to amazon os.
I am not sure what logfile to go look around at... Does anyone know?
I think I am going to try and load the newest version apk 1.11 something.
How could google think this will work for most people.. casting . sucking the battery out of your mobile..
ok.. an update.. I have a firetv and a firetv stick.
I loaded the youtubetv app on my phone. opened the youtube tv app on phone tapped the cast icon and it tried to play. It gave an error. on phone
an error occurred playing the video
on the firetv:
"playback error this video is unplayable on this device record this id number" RbqmGx3fYZSadbjC
Next I thought hell with it I will mess with my firestick that i rarely use.
I opened the youtubetv app on my phone and tapped the cast icon and "magically" the firetvstick was there. I selected it and the youtube TV app opened on it. Note I had not loaded any apk for youtube tv on this firestick. It unfortunately gave the same type of playback error for live or shows in my home tab.
firetv stick
youtube version
youtube version 2.0.58.0_206003810
firetv box
youtube version 2.0.58.0_206003810
youtube tv version 1.04.05
I am trying to transfer the newer youtubetv apk , taking forever and I need to get to sleep.
com.google.android.apps.youtube.unplugged_1.11.6-201110610_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
loaded that up.. it acts different, wont let me click past that i have an account.
slightly off topic
Sorry to go slightly off topic - I am also looking for this, but for a different reason.
Just a moment ago a message appeared on my YouTube app for my Amazon Fire Stick, stating Google is pulling the plug on YouTube being available for Fire Stick Devices (Fire TV Stick).
They are removing it from the devices on January 1st, 2018.
I'm not sure if that's going to effect your efforts, but I think this thread is going to be getting very popular soon and hopefully you guys figure something out.
I will be following the thread and eventually will have to side-load youtube or use an unofficial apk.
Good luck, and we're all counting on you.
Amazon and Google are really playing hard ball with each other re: this topic! They're really hitting each other where it hurts....their wallets. Hopefully we get this worked out - I'd love to ditch Directv Now and go with Youtube TV!
Hello, I'm also here because the official YouTube app on Fire TV that's just using the TV interface (YouTube(dot)com/TV) is about to get useless starting 2018. I think the way Google is making that happen is by recognizing the user agent so if anybody knows how to change it, please let us know

What about sideloading youtube in kodi? I do not get this notification I get in the youtube app. Doesn't look as good and has bit less functionality but it may be the trick.
Dave
Their have been no updates on the above TV since June 2020.
Apps within Google Play Store are very poor. I sideload quite a few of the apps I require
Does anyone know of any alternative/custom firmware I can install on the above TV?

It seems that we will stay on Oreo. Maybe some security update, but ....
The new models are almost the same in terms of equipment.
Philips does not update. But developers can update much more stable (android 9 or android 10)
after restarting tv suddenly recovery gave such an error. what to do?
Hi,
did a restart help?

Hi all!,
I have a similar issue with my 55pus7303/12 but android tv isn't launching. I can see the TV channels by TDT DVB but when I try to open the home Android tv interface, the screen turn black or when I try to open the menu, menu is pixelated in the upper left corner.
I tried to reinstall the TPM171E_1.143.0 but still the same issue. (This is a recommendation by the SAT Philips support)
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have previously used Aberto Sonorus but it seems that nowadays it doesnt work unless its running on screen (so not in the background) - I basically want to create an Alexa routine that turns on my TV, opens my Shield and runs the NFL application. I can get everything working other than getting Alexa to launch the NFL app. Is there any alternative to Sonorus Aberto that will let me launch 3rd party apps installed on a Shield?
