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

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)
Hi all.
I have searched throughout the internet, and this one seems impossible to fix for now
I have xposed installed and rootcloak, and can now enter the app and see a list of all movies and tv shows.
However i cannot play anything !!!
I believe the issue is with the WideWine DRM which is NOT supported by Fire TV, and which is neccecery to have in android.
DRM info from playstore will reveal which DRM the Fire TV supports:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.romanhosek.drminfo
The HBO app works fine on my LG G2, and I can see that DRM Info tells me the WideWine is available.
Can anyone tell me if it someow possible to compile this DRM library into fire tv so we can have WideWine DRM protetected content?

Someone was asking about Widevine the other day. I just dismissed it, but it might be possible. Get the errors from logcat and we'll see what's going wrong.
That would be amazing.
I have attached two logcats. One which is filtered (small duration) and one which is not.
The package name is obviously com.hbo.android.app, and playback is started around 11:41 (see large logcat file).
HBO Nordic FireTV
Hi did you have any luck succeeding in getting HBO Nordic running on your FireTV box. I would love to have it running too.
I simply do not understand why they are not interested in supporting all our devices.
Looking forward to your update.
Thanks

Cool! worked for me too... but had to precisely install the google play services version (7.0.86_1763202-010).
But its a bit slow may be because I am using it outside nordic region with a smart DNS service.
How did you manage it guys? I installed play store and sideloded the HBO Go from google play store, I can install it and run it but can't control it as it expects touch screen. Tried using the remote controller and the gamepad but is crazy, no idea what is being selected, etc. Thanks
Btw. the reason I'm doing this is that I'm located outside the US (in CZ) and the HBO Go app that comes with FireTV connects to hbogo.com and it is showing me error that I'm connected from outside the US.
OK just in case somebody comes across this thread in the future. I have managed to install the Android version of HBO GO after installing the Google Play version that was referred few posts ago. I have used the Android app "Mouse Toggle for Fire TV" to navigate through the interface. At the beginning HBO Go failed to connect when Fire TV was connected through LAN port so I had to connect through WLAN and then HBO Go started to work. The only issue I'm still having is that I can't play some new series like Westworld, Divorce and few others that do not stream at all. Could it be the codec? the resolution of the video? Other movies and series play fine.
I managed to get the latest version of HBO Nordic (3.1.0, I think it is) installed on my Fire TV Stick yesterday:
Installed Google Play Services, latest non-beta version, but NOT the Android TV version
Installed Google Play Store, latest non-beta version, also NOT Android TV version.
Installed a "Force Landscape" mode app, otherwise interface is distorted.
Installed the Mouse app for Fire TV, to use the remote as a cursor.
I could then log in and browse the library. Yay. But all playback fails. Logcat indicates it's something with the Audio that goes wrong, but that's about as much as I can gather...
Android TV versions of the Google apps wouldn't work. I suspect that this is because FireOS was forked from regular Android, and not Android TV.
Anyways, I got this far. Maybe others will have more luck?
The reason I ask is because I bought the wrong fire TV, I bought the US version when I should have bought the international version from my country. Mind you some apps work (Netflix, YouTube) in my country but not Prime Video App, is geo restricted.
I've been using the web version of prime video as a walk around but I would very much like to try the apk.
I've downloaded the Prime Video APK for nvidia shield and xiaomi tv but they seem to work a bit sluggish on my fire stick, and it often freezes.
I hope I'm not alone in this situation and someone found some sort of solution.
I have the same issue. I installed the androidTV version which seems to be working fine but the video quality is terrible. Not sure if it is the app or something else. Could not sideload the prime video apk from google app store because it is conflicting with the existing installation.

Where did you download this? I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S and have been looking for a version of Prime Video that works. It's not in my Google Play Store. Perhaps the Nvidia Shield version would work. Thanks
Did you solved this issue?
I bought an Fire TV Stick (1st gen) from UK, now I can't watch anything from Prime Video because I'm in Brazil.
I've downloaded the Prime Video apk from apkpure, but its installation fails, maybe because the stick it's Prime Video version already installed.
Does anyone know please a way to install netflix app? Got google services
apk pure
Tried
Tried every versions available or they dont open or say device not compatibel, cant watch neither from web browser since on android
Hi
There is older versions of Netflix APK which work but show in SD , not HD . I would use Amazon prime as works perfectly. I know Netlix may have certain shows and movies which better but its work to get updated version to work . If you have Sky, skygo works perfect
Which version of netflix do you use ?

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 ?? )
Sorry for the newbie-level question - we just ran out of options and would love some help.
We have an Amazon Fire TV (built in - not the stick), latest software as of Nov 27, 2022.
We're trying update an app, All 4, going through Downloader (as UK apps are "unavailable" on the Appstore). The version we have stopped working (got an error - "out of date").
So we first tried latest APK file here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/channel-4-television-corporation/
But, unlike the old version we had, it is an Android mobile app (doesn't display well on TV) that requires Google Play services to run. It opens but nothing seems to work or look right.
Are we missing an APK file that should work on TV (i.e. is there an older APK file in the link above that should work/details we should be looking for when downloading these APK files to make sure they're compatible)?
Or if we go with the glitchy mobile app, any way to get Google Play services running in the background? (Unlikely, I imagine)
Or are there other workarounds we aren't thinking of? For example, we've tried de-registering our TV and using our UK Amazon account, though the UK apps like All 4 are still "unavailable" in the official Appstore.
Thanks a million for your help.
