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 -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/aftv2-best-compatible-apps-accessories-t3269267

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)
I am trying to use my firestick to cut cable cost some. And I was told that the Charter app lets me view all of my content, unfortunately on the amazon store I can download to android devices besides my fire stick. Is there a way around this..?

I used this to install a variety of apps to my Fire TV Stick.
sideloadfiretv dotcom
Has anyone got this to work. Side loaded on rooted Fire TV gen 1, get error code C117 when trying to watch video. Charter boxes have been down for a day now. Watching on tablets is only option right now.
Playstore app to apk converter & copy playstore links (Google search)
Download spectrum TV apk
Firetv/Fire TV Sticks:
Sideload
(Google hint: adb fire -pc- or app 2 fire -Android app-)
Install:
Mouse toggle apk
Spectrum tv apk
Android tv & Android Boxes:
Place apk on flash drive
Plug in
Get file manager
Navigate to USB drive install apk
Use mouse (USB) or get remote with mouse
A little annoying to use but works
Shield should be the same
But if you have the full playstore
Can someone get a root file manager
Copy the base apk for stectrum tv app for the shield
I want to test it on a firestick and see if it fixes the landscape issue when picking channels
Use ultimate rotation app to fix landscape problem.
Could someone from uk with FTV3 use es file explorer to pull some apk for me please?

Thanks, looking forward to your upload so I can test it out.
Here are the APk's i extracted from my 4k fire tv stick last night.
the only one working on a non amazon device is my5.
all4 and itv hub appear to be wrappers not proper apps - still if someone could get them working for non amazon devices there are loads of people requesting them in various threads( shield, sony tv, philips tv etc .,pretty much all android tv devices would benefit)
OK so I tested out my5 on my shield with amazon appstore installed and logged in, I also then tried to use lucky patcher to remove amazon appstore dependencies and am still greeted with the same screen either way.

Is there a way we could maybe spoof the shield so its seen as an amazon fire TV device in the amazon appstore - then it may actually let us download directly without having to sideload.

I installed the my5 app on my philips android tv, it complained about no amazon app store when i first opened it, so installed amazon underground, then it worked no problem

I have tried this aswel but same thing for me - tells me I don't own it.
When I check amazon underground it says I need to update to the new amazon app store which I previously had installed. I wish there was a way past this - you can see it loading up all in the background and can tell it will work when you can get that message of the screen but just have no idea how
OK so I finally found a way to get this to work, install amazon appstore on any other android device that's not android TV. Install the apps from there - then when you use the apk on shield it will now say you own it and not bother you anymore. Installed my5 and is working perfectly, way better than the side loaded app I was using for all these years (would have been fine if they didn't update so now it doesn't work on android TV anymore). So thank you amazon, last mission is to get all4 from either fire TV or Sony TV somehow and then all apps will be remote friendly. The all4 amazon apps I've found seem to be wrappers and not actual apps...
I've given up trying to get all4 and ITV hub working, now using the ITV hub pluggin via plex which works a treat and removes the ads, so even the mrs likes it better than the itv hub app.
I'm on a Shield myself and unfortunately there is no UKTV Play and Audible native app for Android TV or the Shield.
Would anyone with a Fire TV stick be able to extract the APKs for the two apps?
UKTV Play: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UKTV-Play-Taskmaster-Richardson-Ultimate/dp/B00T85MGKA
Audible for FireTV: https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Inc-for-Fire-TV/dp/B01G4XZE3O
My brother got a hold of them.
For anyone that wants the apks.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/l7b9j1yusn8hjas/Audible_for_Fire_TV_10400210.apk/file
http://www.mediafire.com/file/y996gzdt3csxr02/UKTV_Play_Watch_Free_TV_On_Demand.apk/file
The Audible apk wont install on the shield. I'm getting the following error:
Package com.audible.application.firetv requires unavailable shared library com.amazon.client.metrics.api; failing!
The UKTV Player installs but will close after a couple of seconds. Using a cloner tool and removing Google services and adding compatibility layers fixes that it seems.
I have a Fire TV Cube 2nd Gen.
I have attached a USB webcam such that is works with Zoom.
I am trying to run the DribbleUp android app which also requires a webcam.
I have sideloaded the app onto the Cube.
When I try to launch the app, it doesn't open.
Is there a way I can start to debug this?
I don't know much.
I don't have much idea what would make an app work or not work on the Cube.
Thank you.
It looks like the app has in app purchases, meaning it requires Google services / Google Play Store, which isn't available on FireTV devices
