YouTube for FireTV

Hello,
is there a better YouTube App as the "****ty" Amazon YouTube App? Without root I can't use the google youtube app and XMBC is not a good solution - only if i know what i want to play...
Thank you

It is possible to the normal android youtube apk.:good:
I installed these 4 apk´s onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=73036323A69E3CF1!1484&authkey=!AIVXLFXAOWDeM0Q&ithint=folder%2c.apk
After that I installed the newest playstore and google play services.
Than you have to install the newest youtube apk and sign in with your google account.:good:
Google music works, too

^^^WITHOUT ROOT!
There is a YouTube HD MOD that works perfectly fine if you have keyboard and mouse access.
No rooting needed and you only have to Google search "YouTube HD MOD" to find it.
It was the first thing I tried when root was not even available.
It is hard to read where the file is with the new design changes of XDA,but it is under downloads in colorful links.

Edit:Stupid Opera Browser does not include the http part and thus kills the linking function.

Hi - thank you! I don't know that Mod. I will try it - but first I've to order a Keyboard with Touchpad ... Maybe it would be great, because I can use Firefox for surfing too ...
Thank you!

The worst problem is that the fire TV's search screen appears frequently when using a browser,and you may not be able to stop it without root.
Opera is good despite that annoyance I show and the large cache filing,but FireFox is a hassle without root unless you can find a way to set a different IME as default to prevent the onscreen Fire search from coming up.
Would settings.apk work without root well enough to change defaulted IME to Null Keyboard?
I would assume you can install it like any app when sideloaded.

You don't have to root you device. The playstore doesn't work, but most Google apps are working great:laugh:

I've installed the YouTube Mod and I also have the Logitech K400 ... It works - but I can't login - is there a solution for that? I have many Abos ... And every time I go to an input field the FireTV Keyboard opens - i want to use my K400 ...

Yesterday I found the original YouTube TV App in the Amazon App Store on FireTV and it works perfect. Pairing and Login works also... Great!

thats not the google one, its just a amazon clone.

Hi,
I mean that one: http://www.amazon.de/youtube-com-Yo...e=UTF8&qid=1414321064&sr=1-1&keywords=youtube
And it seems to be from youtube.com ? Or is it a clone? But if it's a clone, it's a real good one!

Does anyone have the official YouTube application for the Fire TV for me to side load? Thanks!!

YouTube for Fire TV
I have found that the YouTube app for Google TV works great on the Fire TV!
You just have to have Play Services installed so that you can log in (no root required). Of course, it will not show up on your list of apps so you will need another method to open it. I use the Folder Organizer app for Fire TV - ugly as sin, but effective!

new Youtube on Kodi (14.0,14.1) is actually awesome it has sweet UI looks much better then on XBMC (13++).
Other suggestion maybe Youtube for Google TV.

Is there any custom rom supporting Prime Instant Video?

That's my first question before installing any rom.
I don't want to lose Amazon Prime Instant Video.
I did some searching works and found the answer is NO, which is really regretful.
If there's any miracle, it must come from this board.
Please advice. Thanks.

Search instant video in the app store. I think you'll need the Amazon store app as well. Should work on any rom. I'm using cm 11 and it runs fine.

Thanks a lot. I asked this b/c I ever tried to install the "prime instant video" app from the Amazon app store, but in the CM11 ROM of an Android tablet (not a kindle fire HD).
It didn't work in that case.
So I doubt whether the "prime instant video" app will still work on the same CM11 ROM, even it is actually running on a kindle fire HD 8.9.
In my understanding, there's no reason to differ the two CM11 ROMs behave differently on the underlying hardwares - i.e., if the former failed, then the latter would fail too.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Still, I heartily wish your "CM11 - prime instant video" experience can be copied : )
If you could confirm that this CM11 link should work

I'll try it.
Many thanks.

If you install the phone version of the amazon store then go to prime videos it will install the correct app and work. I'm doing this on cm11

try and get the android tv version, will probably have more success with that.
And you probably won't every get playstore to fully work but all you really want is for it to register so play services will work and thus youtube and playmusic apps will work.

Thanks for reply, I have actually sorted my issues completely now, I have stopped all unnecessary amazon stuff running, huge list by the way, and have Google play all configured with android youtube and all my Google paid apps fully configured and recognising I'm signed in. Xposed setup, custom recovery, six axis with ps3 pads connected, USB OTG configured on boot with mele pro airmouse/keyboard/remote combo ? An to top it off no amazon home stuff at all, I have a launcher installed (was going to use official leaseback launcher but found it rubbish) the one I'm using is called Top TV Launcher 2.97. Very customisable and good on the eyes. Firestick is much more responsive the way it's setup now.

Nice,... I'll have to check out that launcher

Download Aptoid and get it from there..

indeed netflix works, but only SD. Youtube without vanced upto 1080p hdr.
could get plex to stream 4k though.

Ohh, I would like to help you, but have the same situation and don't know what to do. I have bought a Mac and now I don't know how to download Netflix, so I am here.

have you tried putting Netflix app into one of those apps where its like a Virtual machine ( Dual space, Virutal exposed ?? )
