Has anyone been able to get YouTube TV working on the FireTV?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
From what i have seen it is a google services issue. I dont have youtube tv to test. It might work in the browser also (I've seen reports it does, with scrolling issues).
Install the following for signing in. YouTube and services are working with these.... If you need the files i can try and upload them.
Google Account Manager v4.4.4-1227136
Google Services Framework v4.4.4-1227136
Google Play Services (AndroidTV) v11.9.51 (836-177350961)
Google Play Store (AndroidTV) v4.6.17
For youtube
YouTube for Android TV (Android TV) 2.02.08

You can just install the old one:

Works for me. No guarantee Google won't mess it up. Follow the simple guide, disable updates.

Oh. Sorry.
I never even thought about that.
It's one thing for Google to block a free service but to charge a subscription, then make it so a significant amount of customers can't access it...its just a really bad decision.
I'd definitely contact YTTV customer support and complain.

Probably not. But I think Fire Tv is the most popular streaming device in the world. If enough people complain they just might rethink things. Or if you're persistent enough...maybe a refund, free month, credit.

Yes this version works perfectly fine on my firestick - you can also cast to the app (app must be open on tv) from your phone if you goto the apps settings and select link with code & do same on your phones YouTube app
I cast because the search function of the tv app doesn't show a keyboard input

I am too looking for the Youtube TV app, not Youtube.
Let me know if you find a solution.
I sideload the app for the phone but the app could not determine the location.
How can I make the app locate my location?

Settings.apk for fire tv
Fake gps app from play store
I have used wireless adb to
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps,network
settings put secure mock_location 1
I will write up a full tutorial later today. I have another fitestick to test on, so I can start from beginning.
It's sorta a pain in the ass to get the fake gps coordinates right. I installed the app on my phone, then used the coordinates it read out, and typed them into fake gps using Cletus keyboard. It is important for negative - sign.
Notes are it needs a mouse to navigate some of the app, Cetus play works fine.
Feel free to ask questions.
You can try the app here, no Google Play Services required: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/app-youtube-tv-app-fire-tv-t3757074
Is this for YouTube or YOUTUBE TV?

Is it possible to get a backup of the WatchESPN app? I've gone through the System Dump and don't see any of the streaming apps. I'd like to sideload it onto a Vizio Co-Star to see if it will work.
it's already in the amazon app store for free
or you can always try something like: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=air.WatchESPN
I've tried that version of the app but it needs to launch in Portrait mode (even on a tablet where it is being used in landscape mode). This causes it to crash on a TV that doesn't support Portrait mode. I'm guessing that the app on the Fire TV is different.
Yes please could some one skilled in these matters post the fire watch espn apk for us forgotten gtv users?

It doesn't even work on my fire TV.. I get a loading circle forever in the middle of the screen when trying to view the live stuff.
This version only offers 8 or 9 providers. I, for example, can login and use the regular android app.... But my cable provider isn't offered in the fire TV version.
Thanks for posting it. I tried it out but it couldn't install on the Co-Star. It said there was a problem parsing the package.
I was able to install on LG Google TV, was able to login to my provider Comcast, but when I try to play the video, "it loads, shows an error popop" and goes back to ESPN app screen. Looks like there is some other pre-requisite to play the watch espn app on Google TV.

Hey guys-
As good as the google play store integration was to the aftv, I have an issue with the resolution of these apps- specifically, hbogo and the mx player app. Although it is offered, the movies and shows I watch from it are quite worse than the resolution of the shows natively installed in the aftv, such as netflix. Same issue for the case of mx player. As a result, I find that I tend to not really use either of them.
The reason why I want to use hbogo instead of the hbo shows offered in the amazon aftv is because I have a subscription to hbogo, and it offers shows and movies that the amazon hbo shows don't offer.
I presume this problem is unsolvable, since the sole reason why we can run the google apps is because it is using market helper to spoof the aftv to act as a nexus 7, a smaller tablet. This part is also curious though, since the nexus 7 that it is spoofing is known to support 720p resoution.
Is my settings wrong, or is this a known issue that users are coping with?
I am aware that aftv is in constant development with new apps and features, so I will definitely be patient. I just wanted to make sure.
Appreciate the help in advance!!
gomavs123
bump.. i think this problem will extend not only to hbogo but to all other of the apps involving google play+ market helper.

How did you install the HBO go app?
I side loaded it onto mine without play store access. the app starts up fine but I don't have a keyboard yet so I can't get further to see what the video resolution looks like. I'm not sure the play store spoof would affect it.... maybe there is some sort of config file that needs to be modified
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
thanks for the reply. I thought hbogo can only be installed through google play? if i can just sideload it, maybe that can provide better resolution.. where can i find the actual apk for the fire tv?
thanks in advance!
Do you have an android phone or tablet with root access? If you install the hbogo app on it you should be able to pull the apk off the file system
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
I was able to use the side loaded app last night
I agree the resolution doesn't look perfect but I can't figure out why. It wasnt horrible but on a large screen I could see what you are saying
I suppose it could be hard coded into the app but I don't know how to tell what the native output resolution is

thanks for the reply. Upon looking things up in the past xda forums, it seems the hbogo apk of the kindle fire version is hd. Unfortunately, I do not have any android phones or tablets.
If somebody can help me locate the HD kindle fire version of the hbogo apk, I can try sideloading it.
thanks in advance!

Would love to see the Kindle Fire apk of HBO Go as well. For the time being, I can use the Xfinity app to stream HBO content at full resolution, though it's less than ideal. The HBO Go app quality is crap.
Would anyone who's used the DirecTV tablet app on their aftv mind chiming in as to if it is still working, and if so what version?
I've installed version 3.3.7 on both my rooted and un-rooted aftvs and all I get is "Your appliction version is no longer supported. Please download the latest version from the google play store." when launched. The unrooted box is running firmware v 51.1.4.3_user_514020320. The rooted box is running whatever version I had to downgrade to in order to install the su binary.
I would also like to know what version is working, also if the phone app would work or the Kindle Fire app

I do not have a Directv account so I cannot log in, but I installed the tablets version and it opened and asks for my email and password. How I got it? I have 1Mobile Market installed. If you have a browser installed on your Fire TV, google "1Mobile Market 5.8.3",download and install 1Mobile Market. Open 1Mobile Market and search directv, the tablet version is 4.0.5, install it. BTW 1Mobile market is a third party app store that is an alternative to the play store. Its worth keeping a couple third party app stores on the Fire TV so that you can download apps without having to worry about sideloading through adb. I recommend 1Mobile Market and Aptoide.
Hi for us not living in the USA can someone provide us with the newest Directv app both the phone and tablet version..
I would believe I could use the phone app.
That's the only app I miss for my AFTV.
Now I use my subscription on my laptop but could be sweet to have it all in one box
Thnx in advance

Any update on this? I put the tablet version on fire tv and got it to bring up the login, but then got an error message saying fire tv could not open web links. I then put on the current version I have on my phone. That one I got through and seems to mainly be working (with a mouse or mouse program). I can get to the guide, select a program, select watch on phone, but then I just get the waiting spinning circle forever. Works great on my phone and my iPad. It would be so nice to have it working on Fire Tv or Roku or even a computer (but I can't get it working through any of my browsers, and the interface on the computer sucks compared to the apps).
The current phone version works perfectly (with mouse), but on WIFI only, wired wont start the stream.
FYI. I tried again for the heck of it and the tablet version (com.directv.navigator) does let you login now and stream with the Fire TV using wired ethernet!!!

Yea - same here. Unrooted stock Fire TV Stick and when I try the Navigator version I can't get past the log-in screen. I enter my credentials and then a webbrowser launches with a DirectTV website to enter further credentials but I cannot type on it as the DirecTV App displays a null keyboard which blocks the ability to enter the required information into the website. Has anyone been able to overcome this?

I had the same problem but , for some reason, it worked after I paired a bluetooth mouse with the stick. maybe it was a fluke, dont know, but I needed to get a mouse anyway to use with other apps. I'm not sure if I am using the directv tablet or phone version.
So I've seen a list of apps that currently support PIP I'm 8.0 and so far I haven't been able to get any of them to work. I tried Play Movies and then YouTube TV. Both didn't work. I know you need Red for YouTube, but as a subscriber to YouTube TV I would assume that's enough for that app to work.
Anyone else have this feature working for any of the supported apps?

Yes, was able to do it on my original Pixel and now also on my XL 2... You have to be subscribed to YouTube red and have the feature enabled to do picture in picture, with the XL 2 you can also zoom in/expand cropped YouTube videos to full screen. Make sure you have the latest version of the apps too.
You're pressing home correct? Backing out of YouTube has it play in the background.

You need google services installed. There are a few threads on how to install it, but finding the compatible versions also seems to be the issue. If you are looking for a version that will be available after the new year (if truly google blocks amazon) side-load and install this one.

It works like the current amazon youtube app, but registers as a TV.
