As per topic, has anyone managed to get this working on the FireTV. I've tried a few apk versions however I'm not sure if they have blocked it from working.
I have Plex, Kodi etc already running but this would keep her indoors happy if I got that working too.
Many Thanks,
I wouldn't mind knowing if anyone can get it working also as in the same boat...?
I read somewhere that it works if you plug in a mouse?
Last time I tried, the app ran but when I goto stream , it said 'not supported'.
If you have 'youmap chrome cast' installed, the nowtv app on your phone/tablet doesn't see the fireTV as a chromecast, so that doesn't work either.
Hmmm I can't do that. Sorry I should of mentioned I've got the Fire TV Stick.
All the versions I have tried don't even open, they just say something to the tune of "This device is not supported"
After the kodi Plugin was broken I did not found a solution to watch NowTV on Android. ATM I'm running OnlineTVrecorder to record. download and watch it
It is being talked about on the SlingPlayer Forums and being said that Amazon pulled the app. Has anyone else learned anything more about this?

I have the same thing. The app will not load. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still NG. Checking with Sling next.
Just checked. Still Working on mine. Streaming locally from my slingbox, rather than remotely, but the app still works. Don't know if it has anything to do with me blocking amazon updates to the box, but like I said, the app still functions.
.....nevermind. Worked the first time, then when I tried it again, the app won't start.
Had to sideload the slingplayer phone version using a bluetooth mini keyboard / touchpad to get slingplayer functionality back. The slingplayer for tablet and slingplayer for tablet free version; both of them don't work either, only the phone version. Pretty pathetic for Amazon and Sling to give up support on the slingplayer app so easily.
They say they are working on it.
Keep up with their Twitter feed. Patch coming soon. Amazon OS updates broke their app.
Version 3.0.9 is available. You may need to uninstall 3.0.8 from the Manage Installed Applications screen under settings.

Thanks for the heads up. Downloaded and now it looks like the problem has been fixed.
My FTV2 rooted still can't find the SlingPlayer app. My SlingPlayer 1 rooted will load the app then close immediately.
Is it still fixed for you guys?
Both my non rooted FTV1's had the new slingplayer app available to download immediately. Took a week or so before it showed up in the Amazon store for my Fire TV stick. Tested everything last night and everything works fine on both boxes and stick, but like I mentioned, I'm not rooted.
Hey all,
Has anyone gotten the playstation vue app to work on this tablet running something other than kit kat? I'm currently running CM13 and it says it's not available for the device. I tried hiding root but it still gives me the same error.
Playstation doesn't allow rooted devices. (At least none that I could find) If you want to use the PSVue app you have to unroot.
Hi,
I have rooted my Ouya using the guide from S-Config and am running the latest nightly build (12/01/16). Seems that I keep on getting the 40 Error message when trying to stream any videos from the Directv Now app. I have hid my root with "Root Hide", disabled it within CM11. Still gives me the error with both the Google Play store app and as well side loaded the Amazon apk as well, and still giving me the issue. Im out of ideas, and not sure if just the rooting portion is the full issue.
Has anyone tried to get this to work with the Directv Now app?
Hi,
Been trying to get BT Sport app running on my Fire Stick. I'm aware that it has needed Google Play Services and Store to run for the last year or so and have loaded these but the most recent version of the app that I can get to install without error is 4.13.2 (2018-01-22). But this version just states that a newer version is available and to go to the store and update.
So has anyone got this installed and running recently?
I have a BT Sport subscription so not looking for a free solution (Kodi etc), just want to avoid the need to cast from my phone.
Thanks

Also having this issue, it seems that BT have stopped making the APK compatible with Android TV which is needed for it to work on the fire stick. Hence why the APK wont install. I also tried reverting back to older versions of google play services, bt app etc but it forces you to update google services, which once updated then requires you too update the BT app, in short in seems BT have finally found a way to get to charge people extra so they can use the BT TV APP.
Hopefully someone smarter than me can figure out a work around as casting or screen mirroring from a mac are rather crap options.
I use Downloader to update both the BT Sport app from APKPure and then, if needed, Google Play Services from APKMirror.
Still working perfectly for me.

@wonneil what site are you going to with Downloader to get the BT Sport App apk? Thanks
Apkpure (as already stated )
Current version of BT Sport is 5.11.0
See what happens you try from there...
Doesn't work here, I get an app not installed error.

Sounds like it might be a fire stick only problem then, works fine on the box, hope it doesn't go that way on the box as I'll have to get rid of my subscription.
I wonder what the difference could be?

I was wondering the same, i assume you are not rooted and after downloading the apk are manaually installing it. Therefore the only reason must be the sdk version is older on the firsestick as it uses android 5 as opposed to 6. we will have to see if bt sport works on the 4k firestick to prove this. Im not sure which version of the firetv you have but im betting its the newer one with android 6.

We feel the same way too, continuous price increases, less games and less options to watch any content + less support will eventually result in our cancellation of this subscription and moving away from BT all together for internet too.
Yes you assume correct, it isn't rooted and I install manually after downloading.
I have a first generation fire box which is running software version 5.2.6.7 and Fire TV Home version 6.1.1.0-117
If there does come a time where it stops working for me I'll have to stick to using Ace Stream and saving money on a cheaper (but more data) sim only deal lol

I've got my firestick 4k and indeed it does install which means its a version/ sdk issue of some sort. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it running, it sits on a black screen when starting. Could you indicate on apk mirror (with links) which versions of
google play store
google services framework
google account manager and
google play services you are using, there are many variants so you would have to provide links to each release esp google play services.
I'm especially interested in which google play services version and variant you are using. I've noticed when testing some of these other apps fail to load.
I'm using the latest BT Sport apk.

Are you able to help with this???
I have been able to get BT sport app working on all my fire tv devices (fireTV 4k, 2nd gen Firestick etc etc). It took quite a lot of messing around but I finally have it down to 4 files including the BT sport app itself

Please share which files, which repo and which versions worked for you and if the order of installation was important, that too. Thanks
