[Q] Merging Apps From Multiple Countries

Hi all,
Now that Amazon Fire TV is launching in the UK and Germany, I am very keen to be able to merge apps from different countries.
I guess to be able to do this, I would first have to either:
a) Switch the device to a different region and then install an app, then go back to my main region and somehow sideload it or install it in.
For example, if I choose the US version as my main hub, I would also like to copy UK apps and German apps across to the US hub (say Demand 5 from the UK, and Zattoo from Germany).
Would this be possible to sit side by side with the US apps then? (I am talking about official Fire TV apps, not standard Android versions designed for mobile phones).
or would I need someone who has the UK version to copy the app out and send it to me?
I guess many people may not have been able to test this yet since the German version will not launch until the 25th of this month, and the UK one next month, but perhaps people know already if apps can be saved and copied.

I think another problem will be geo block, so even if we as a community share the apk's, they still might not work unless the connection is pushed through a proxy from that country.
What I would love to see is a addon where FireTV (or wider xbmc) users can allow to share their connection with the rest of the community as a proxy, this has to be under certain time and bandwidth parameters and only for known geo blocked URL's. (needs to be very clear what acces is given to other users using your IP)
This would allow world wide content for everybody, having a US IP myself, would love to have acces to the UK BBC media.
Some automated addon to select tor exit nodes might work too, but think the performance would be way better if this is done within the FireTV/XBMC community.

Hi Userr12,
The geo-blocking part should not be a problem. The key is using something like Smart DNS (google eyeondemand) which should work for most services.
The beauty about smart DNS is that unlike a VPN, it can unblock any country (A VPN will just work for one at a time), making this perfect for mix and matching apps on the Amazon Fire TV. So, you could switch say from Hulu to Demand 5 or Zattoo etc.

Never heard of that option before, that's great though, direct it on DNS level, will look into it.

Can you give me some more advice on how to do this, for a total n00b? My fire tv is coming shortly, and I'd like to access US Netflix but still have UK apps like Demand 5 and iPlayer. I was planning on buying unblock-us but I'd much rather get something like what you mentioned above.

[Q] Smart DNS for Netflix only - is it possible?

Hi all,
I'm using Amazon Fire TV in the UK. With Smart DNS, I can access the USA version of Netflix, which has a much wider choice of content. However, by doing that, my Amazon Prime account does not work any more, as Amazon does not allow you to switch regions with the same account like Netflix.
I'm wondering if there's a way to apply Smart DNS settings to certain apps only, so that I can use the USA version of Netflix, while keeping the rest of my Amazon Fire TV in the UK region?
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:

Hola for android worked for the older version of Netflix, just sideload it. Run it.. Use a mouse to select the Netflix apk and it might work.

Hi,
Thanks for your response - but Hola needs a rooted Android device to work, plus how do you use a mouse with Amazon Fire TV?

Hi,
This can definitely work, depending on how 'smart' your DNS provider is.
Unotelly for example allows you choose channels from different countries using 'Dynamo' i.e. one DNS for all. I think smartdnsproxy does the same.
I'm in Ireland using Amazon Prime US but have used Netflix Ireland & US, BBC Iplayer etc
Unless maybe Amazon Prime UK is not supported by your DNS provider.

If your router can support it (Asus Merlin, Linksys DD-WRT, etc.) you should use DNSMasq.
I have a DNS service which I specify in a dnsmasq file which hosts should use the "smart" dns (everything else not specified uses my ISP's DNS).
Works great and allows every device on your network to have this functionality without any extra configuration on the OS-level.

I think the OP wants ability to specify smart dns for each App and not for each host

I have not used dd-wrt in a while, but you should enable dnsmasq and there should be a section called "additional dnsmasq options" with a big text box. You would enter the following:
server=/pandora.com/199.199.199.1
server=/hulu.com/199.199.199.1
server=/netflix.com/199.199.199.1
and so on...
Where 199.199.199.1 is the IP of your smart dns service. If it has multiple IPs just have multiple lines like:
server=/pandora.com/199.199.199.1
server=/pandora.com/199.199.199.2
server=/hulu.com/199.199.199.1
server=/hulu.com/199.199.199.2
apply changes and you should be good. If it doesn't work, you might have to use what I gave you to do some more research.

Thanks for the info. I do use DNSMasq for blocking updates and for static IPs. Wasn't sure how to target certain hosts for particular DNS. Thanks again.

Okay, so these install fine, but when they launch they give an error about no Amazon App Store found. I first mistakenly downloaded a version of Amazon Underground from Aptpoide, which also crashed after running, but on googling I found an official Amazon link which does work.
After logging into Amazon Underground, the apps no longer gave that error, but instead a new one about not having 'bought' these apps. I then tried to 'buy' them using the Amazon Underground app but they do not appear for me because I am in the Republic of Ireland.
I am sure I can get around this with some VPN trickery, just doing some when on our living room, mounting new TV etc, so have not gotten to it just yet.
In case you are wondering why I did not just set up a VPN in the first place and try to 'buy' the apps with an Android device, that is because I do not think this will give me a version compatible with a remote control, whereas we know the versions you have uploaded is.
I will update thread when I've set up VPN and tried all of this.
Has anyone else had any success?

Nice work, thanks! :good:
Okay so I just cleared data, storage, reset defaults and (not sure if necessary since I then...) uninstalled the older versions and reinstalled your uploaded versions.
ITV Hub works perfectly :highfive: only issue I can see with it is that when you press back it displays a dialogoue asking 'Do you want to exit the ITV Hub' with the options Okay and Cancel. Pressing cancel does nothing, not a huge deal just thought I would mention it in case it is a quick fix.
Demand 5 loads their splashscreen, then for an instant a progress disc, and then prints the following error:
Code:
Whoops!
An error has occured and the application will now shut down.
<Exit button>
(FTVD5-500)
All 4 loads their splashscreen, and then the screen goes black and stays black. Please note this is the same behaviour as before you modified it, that is to say, unmodified Demand 5 and ITV Hub did load but gave errors about Amazon Underground, whereas All 4 never got that far.
- d3adpool, do you think it possible the apk you uploaded could have become corrupt, or could we rule that out as if it were we would not even see the All 4 splashscreen?
Is there anything you could try?

Cool, I had a look at the thread and I can see you have been busy - and are taking requests.
If you are able to modify an Android TV app to work on regular Android, does that mean you can also do the reverse? If so could you please modify regular Android versions of RTÉ Player, 3Player, and TG4 so that they will work on Android TV with a remote? 3Player is giving me some bogus error at the moment so I have posted in an Irish forum to see if anyone else is experiencing it, and TG4 only comes up for me on Google Search showing a compatibility issue, and not in Play Store on either of my Android devices, so I have asked about that also, I just want to check they are working okay before I upload them for you. RTÉ Player does work and I have attached it below:

I'm not sure if they got corrupted or not. They did load for me on my ftv. Previous experience with sideloading ftv apps on other android devices tells me that usually it won't work. I have a MXIII and a Minix neo x8plus and on both I've attempted to sideload ftv apps and none of them have actually loaded. Either I would get a parsing error, sitting on a loading screen when trying to play a video, HDCP error (HBOGO), or some other random error. Most times you're better off installing apks from the google play store.

Can you define clean version? d3adpool has been a great help so far, perhaps if he is still willing, there is something he could do to make sure his version is not dirty?
About not being able to add remote functionality to the regular Android app, RTÉ Player app, is this something that would be possible if someone put enough time into it, or is it just set up in such a way that it would never work? I just know a bit of C and C++ at the moment, but perhaps when I learn a few more languages I could help with this. Would having access to the source code of Samsung Smart TV apps for the same channels help? This is something I could provide. I appreciate they are probably in a completely different language.

You can download this app on your fire tv by going to the magnifying glass on the home screen and searching for it
Of course you need to be in Canada with your device registered there for it to show
If you are not in Canada the app would be pretty useless to you as it will only work if you're in Canada with a valid bell account subscription
The firestick version also requires you to have bell Internet - so again pretty useless if you don't live in Canada but if you do meet all the requirements no reason why you can't download it yourself

Look on their website
It requires either apple TV 4k or firestick basic (canada version)
It is not compatible with other devices - the mobile app is different as that doesn't require bell Internet so you could use a vpn to canada - you would still require a bell account subscription though
For more information please read the requirements on the bell website

Oi! Just reviving this thread. Here's the scoop. I HAVE an Android TV device that's supported (mibox) I have a valid bell subscription (satellite). What I dont have is a bell internet sub as they dont offer it in western Canada. So when I login everything is just peaches and cream but when I try to watch a show I get the dreaded "you need to be on home network" message.
Anyone know how I can bypass this app-side? I've already decompiled the APK but I'm not sure where to look to find the network check code to modify.
Thanks

I believe this is the file we need to modify, just not sure exactly what to swap as I'm not very java literate :'(

Look on their website
It requires either apple TV 4k or firestick basic (canada version)
It is not compatible with other devices - the mobile app is different as that doesn't require bell Internet so you could use a vpn to canada - you would still require a bell account subscription though
For more information please read the requirements on the bell website

If anyone can post the Amazon FTV APK I would appreciate it. i have a gen 1 FTV and bell subscription/internet and would like to try it on this device; it doesn't come up when I search for it likely because it deems gen1 ftv incompatible, still I would like to give it a go.
Thank yout

I know old thread but have you ever got this working? Have you tried swapping the wifi and mobile around.
