Hello all,
So with some trial and error, I was able to get my hands on the apks for the Fire TV Versions of HBO Go, Showtime Anytime and WatchESPN. These are all apps we desperately need on our Android Tvs.
The biggest problem right now is that when you sideload these onto your device, they bring up one of three errors.
If you don't have the Amazon Appstore or Amazon Underground installed at all, it will prompt you to install it, then force quit itself.
If you have the Amazon Appstore or Amazon Underground installed, but you are not logged in, the error will prompt you to login and will take you straight to the login page.
If you have the Amazon Appstore or the Amazon Underground, and you are logged in, the error will claim that you do not own the app in question and either show you details or force-quit you.
Now, it seems to me (a humble peasant compared to many people here) that we're approaching this all wrong. So far, it seems like we've been trying to hoodwink the apps into thinking we're running them on Fire TV devices by modifying our build.prop. I have yet to hear this work. Instead I would propose this: what if we stopped the error message from closing our apps after the prompt? So say, in the first scenario, it prompts me to install the Amazon Appstore, I click ok... and nothing happens, leaving me free to use the app normally.
This Youtuber was able to get the HBO Now (not Go) app for Fire TV working somehow using this method

If a brave soul of the XDA community wants to try this and gift us with modified APKs that will run on our systems, that would be fantastic. I can attach the APKs if you need them
UPDATE
I was able to get this to work! DM me for details (if Amazon finds out how, they will shut down this loophole). I was able to get most apps for Fire TV I could get my hands on to work! The only one that consistently gave me issues was the WatchABC app, everything else works 100% (HBO Go is a little sluggish, but Showtime Anytime is buttery smooth )
I would love to get the watchespn apk!

It's already available in one of the threads, I've had it working for the most part. I think if you had a keyboard and mouse it would be even better.
Android TV needs a WatchESPN app. I'm not going to use a mouse to control my TV. I know it works but it's annoying. I'll just cast until they hopefully release one. The Fire TV WatchESPN app is fantastic.

Hi mate, there's an app on FireTV called TVPlayer for UK Freeview channels, it has a really nice UI on FireTV completely different to the regular Android app, wondering if you'd manage to grab that one?

Did they have any luck getting it to work for regular ESPN channels with sign-in?
Would it be possible to get an APK for Playstation Vue? Id like to see if I can get it running on my Nexus.
Playstation Vue would be great, if its possible. Its a great service, just wish it was on the nexus player.
Yeah Playstation Vue... Yes, please!
I don't know if you guys noticed - but watchESPN is now a native androidTV app. Easy install from within nexus player's play store. Seems to work great, live streaming works as well. Finally, I was able to get rid of the sideloaded apk.

The new ESPN app works amazingly on Nexus Player, at least in my experience. Now I just need working Amazon, Vudu , and NBC Sports apps

Do you know if the HBO Go app works with comcast, Comcast hasn't approved the use of androidTV devices for streaming but they have for FireOS and regular Android, currently I use the regular Android app, but proper TV UI and remote navigation would be good.
UPDATE:
It does indeed appear to be a separate app that activates has a fire tv device so can be activated with comcast, but its pretty laggy, does anyone have the most up to date fire tv version, I'm running 2.7.06
Looks like I spoke too soon, seems like I can't get anything to actually play, just force closes.
No not the xfinity tv go app....the xfinity tv app that if you are on the same WiFi as your cable box you can basically use the app as a virtual cable box in another room. I am able to load the app up, it buffers then goes right back to the android home screen, any one have any luck or similar situation with this app?

I thought more xfinity Comcast users would be interested in this app as you would have access to your cable box/DVR, watch every channel you subscribe to without affecting anyone else watching cable on your physical cable box

I sideloaded the latest version of the Xfinity TV app version 3.1.0.014
The app does not support proper navigation with android tv remote as it is intended to be used on a touch interface.
You can however connect a mouse via USB OTG and use the app. I have watched around an hour of TV on the app and did not have any major issues.
It is a little buggy at times exiting and re-entering the app and I have had a force close but it is usable.
Once they update for Android TV support I will be very happy. (I am hoping they update for Android TV support. I haven't found any information to say they are for sure.)

Comcast released another app update today. Hopefully it didn't break things for you, let me know how it goes, I am thinking about getting a Nexus Player for this app. I doubt they will ever support Android TV, they would be losing $10 per month from folks who are currently renting their own comcast boxes for additional TVs.

I just uninstalled the previous version and installed the new version 3.1.1.019
I am not noticing any changes and it still seems to be working fine.
I have a keyboard/mouse combo connected to the Nexus Player that I use to navigate in the app which is a little clunky but does work.
I am watching some On Demand on it right now with no issues.

has anyone figured out why the Xfinity TV app closes or how to fix this I have the newest version installed on my nexus player and on my nvidia shield and on both devices the app closes after about 10 minutes of watching a live or on demand show and goes back to the Home screen? On my fire stick the app doesn't close but I get other playback error on live channels. The TV to Go app works 100% on my correctly it never closes but it lacks a channel guide and DVR abilities so I would rather use the X1 TV app instead. any suggestions on how to get the app to stop closing back to the home screen?
as a side note for those trying to find a controller solution, I use a QQ-Tech Mini Bluetooth Keyboard W Touch pad for Android OS Windows from Amazon for about 20 bucks. I use this for all 3 of my boxes to control the Xfinity TV and TV to Go apps it works grate its about 7 inches long so about the size of a TV remote. mine is rechargeable with a light up keyboard. this will also make using Chrome and other sideloaded apps on Android TV so much easier to use.
I watched it the other day for like 2 hours and didnt have 1 issue, are you on the latest firmware on your nexus player? Also has anyone tried the update that came out today?

I've got Pure Nexus running and i am having no issues with the Xfinity Go App with a Keyboard/Mouse works somewhat with the remote besides selecting anything, can only use the nexus remote as a glorified browser can go up and down left and right and back.

Understood, i refuse to get X1 because right now i pay 80 Bucks for 150 Channels + HBO and 75Megabit Internet. I don't need a DVR made by them, nor do i need anything else they deem fancy. I wouldn't have Comcast at all if i could have the option, but they are the fastest within 100 feet of my location. Lot of OTA DVR Options Exist, some are like 10-15 Years Old. (The PSX Console was a PS2 with built in DVR if that says anything). i Have a hacked Roamio i use to record stuff.

The Xfinity TV app (not TV Go) works, but sometimes looses track of the "Home" network.
We are using a friend's login info to test it- Our 2 NP's both have M 6.0.
It will not work out of the box hardwired for channels you have not viewed before- i.e on your "previously viewed channels" list, prompts you to use your cellular data connection, but has an "allow just this time" link that will let it through a LAN.
Seems the TV (not TV Go) app keeps track of the WiFi connections and designates one a "Home".
I have renamed my 2 access points the same name, with same SSID and passwords- it worked great for a day, then started locking me out of new channels.
ES FileExplorer lets you ftp into the NP with the LAN---> Remote Manager, so I will be copying the X-TV data over and see if that works.
As a side note- I will be testing the TV Go app found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63688527&postcount=39
I found this Rii that works quite well for the NP in general, and the trackpad seems very good to me, especially double-tap, hold and swipe.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9996LA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
I wanted a 2.4 ghz romo, because I read many comments about BT sleeping issues.
The rest of my setup has this hub-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCBXIY8/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
and this UBS to RJ-45 adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWXTOIA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
All work with the NP
**Edit**
Sytanek's app mod at the link above works excellent on our stock NP with M 6.0.1
Can anyone confirm the apps still work on our NPs as of today?
I am moving and the place I am heading to doesn't have other options but Comcast... this would be great in cutting some of those "rental fees" on additional cable boxes.
I can't get Xfinity TV to work on my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 with cyan 13.0....just buffers then returns
I need little help here. I installed the app and when i click get started it redirects to dolphin browser and when i log in i get some error message. I can't get this app working.
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to know is there any way to make streaming apps work on Remix OS PC. I have installed it succesfully via UEFI dual boot on my Acer Laptop. Installed all apps like youtube, chrome via Playstore. But when I installed NBA TV app, all video cannot be played. It will just show "The video is currently not available".
Is there any way I can do to make it work or do I need to install something?
Please help.
Thanks!
i have the same issue. some apps stream but others don't. i don't know why.
maybe having m3u8 file of that live stream and playing it with an app being capable of url playing helps. i dont know.

Is there a web feed available? If so you could try flashfox browser, I was able to watch Amazon prime videos using it on devices that wouldn't play the app.
i have not tried to watch games in browser with flash. I just preferred using the app itself since it is on android. Playing it in browser can be done also in windows. thanks for the info.

I am away from home so I can't boot up Remix to check myself, but have another idea to try. I know some apps check build prop to get the ro.product info eg. device, manufacturer, name etc. If those lines are in Remix it may work to change it to spoof a device that is known to run the app.

Thanks for the idea. I have tried editing the build.prop. but still it is not working. Maybe the Remix OS itself is not ready yet for some apps. or there is something in the NBA app or server than cannot recognize the remix device / OS.
I'm trying this for PC first since I'm planning to buy the Remix Mini. But if the NBA app or other apps will not run normally on the Remix Mini, I might wait for a moment to buy this box.
EDIT: You can now find the latest Spotify app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/themes-apps/spotify-v0-5-2b-removed-amazon-t3331632
MUUUUCH Better!
Hi! I waited a long time for Spotify Connect to come to the Nexus Player but it haven't happened yet, so I fixed the next best thing: Amazons Spotify Connect app.
I removed the need for the Amazon Store, so simply sideload it, install it, opened it ones and you now have Spotify Connect on your Nexus Player!
It's created for the Fire Stick so it does crach from time to time but not that often so for me it's well worth it to be able to have Spotify Connect on my Nexus Player! :laugh:
omg I could kiss you right now! This does work 100%... thank you so much!
Thank you so much!

Yes. Spotify Premium is needed to use Spotify Connect. That's the was Spotify have made it.
Now they have a Spotify app: http://www.aftvnews.com/spotify-for-fire-tv-updated-to-full-featured-app-with-free-music/ Maybe this would run on Android TV too?

No it doesn't work fine on the shield. This apk needs to be hacked just like the previous one.

Ok, someone posted a zip file with a "Spotify Connect" version 0.3.0 apk from 24.01.2016 and the Amazon Appstore apk from Oct. 2015.
I installed both, logged in at the Amazon Appstore, "bought" the Spotify Connect App (see http://www.amazon.com/Spotify/dp/B00N1XIY5Q).
I can start the new Spotify app without issues.
Maybe someone will create a version that does not need the Appstore installed...

Hi,
It works but I dont' have the volume control
Good afternoon everyone,
I'm pretty sure this can't be done, because is blacklisted server side, but I'd want your opinion before giving up.
Is there any way to run the Netflix apps version for Android TV on non Android TV devices?
I've downloaded "Netflix (Android TV) 4.0.4 build 1716" (com.netflix.ninja_4.0.4_build_1716-1716_minAPI22(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk) from APKMirror, it installs itself well, i can login, it starts but as soon as i play a movie i get this error: We're Having Trouble Playing This Title Right Now, tvq-pq-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
I've searched in a lot of forums and it seems like nobody has been able to find a workaround.
Netflix understand that it's not running on a "certified device" and it blocks the playback.
Is there a way to bypass this?
My device is rooted so i could even change some system files, to make it look like another device.
I've got a Probox2 Air with regular Android, which is great for me, but it's a too difficult to use for my parents, with the smartphone version of Netflix and the air mouse.
In this forum the app modder simply says "Problem - Non-android TV boxes are blacklisted": http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index....ndly-apps-modified-to-work-on-regular-android
In the thread, a lot of people are in my same situation.
I've alredy tried to uninstall all the Netflix app, clear data and cache, logout and login, but it has been useless.
I really hope you can help me somehow.
If not, i think i'm going to sell the Probox2 Air and buy a Xiaomi Mi Box 3, but i'd really like to save the money and the time.
Bye!
I had the same issue and i just found a workaround which is a great solution to force HD and ultraHD on L1 and L3 widevine devices.

I'm sorry dude but:
- That APK doesn't seem to fix my problem. That's about forcing HD but i don't care about HD, i want the Android TV version of the app.
- It seems it has a malware in it:
I signed up just to warn you all this contains a virus.
Currently only the below file is effected.
h t t p : / / 1 9 9 . 1 7 5 . 5 3 . 2 1 / n e t f l i x l a t e s t . h d o n l y . a p k (Force Enable HD only)
Im sure he will change that seeing that im saying this now.

This all seems pretty suspicious to me.
Hi there,
I bought a android box trongle X8, with a great performance spec (2G RAM/ 16G ROM). However, i found a problem using Netflix as It apears the error message tvq-pb-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
Then I did my first research on the net about the error message, I learned more about Netflix and its new way of authentication in order to stream HD and UHD using widevineCDM, classifying L1 for certified devices and L3 for non-certified devices. I found as well your post that mentioned the same error message but no solution or workaround.
Then during all the day, I tried a version of Netflix for normal android (not TV) that works but the quality was SD. and after that, I found the link I have just posted to you, and I tried it by deleting the spaces between letters and it works and the quality was HD.
I was trying to share what I find as there is limited articles and person who are talking about this issues and there is no solution.
About the link, there is no trojan, or I am not aware of it, I downloaded the tree links and used tested one by one. I kept the ultraHD and it works as mentioned by the link owner.
I wish I could help, and of course, I would like to have an Android version that will work for my device as well, so I will keep looking if there is any update.
Kind Regards,
Nass
In that case, sorry if I was suspicious. And thank you for your effort.
Could you confirm that the APK you liked is a mod for the regular version of Netflix, not the Android TV one?
The version is the regular version. the version that we use on the smartphone, which is not the same of course than the android tv version, I agree.
Ok! Thank you anyway.
Best regards.
Sadly, I've found no solutions form this problem.
I had to buy a device with Android TV, the Xiaomi Box 3, which is great for my parents.
If someone finds a workaround, please let me know, I would love to have the Android TV version of Netflix on my Probox2.
Bye!
I gave up, eventually.
I did a new research recently and I didn't find any news, it still seems there's no way to use the Android TV version of Netflix on a non Android TV device.
So I bought a Xiami Mi Box 3, which is great.
Cheap, with updated Android TV os, good performance, comfortable remote and certified by Netflix.
I've discovered there's also an Android TV version of Google Play Music that is way better than the regular one, that's pretty unusable on TV.
I too have a Xiaomi Mi box 3 on my main tv its awesome. I have a MXQ pro 4k in my bedroom I installed a custom rom I found on freaktab that runs Android TV you cant tell the difference between the two by looking at them the lower spec MXQ pro plays Kodi, Plex, YouTube and Pluto TV flawlessly however NO HD Netflix its stupid I pay for HD Netflix and have a device powerful enough to run it but They go out of their way by putting extra blocks to prevent users from using their app just doesn't make sense to me.
Hi cscott1!
Could you please leave us here the link to the custom ROM you're talking about? It would be nice to give it a try!
Its stupid I pay for HD Netflix and have a device powerful enough to run it but They go out of their way by putting extra blocks to prevent users from using their app just doesn't make sense to me.

Yep, that's the main point of all of this matter.
My Probox2 was powerful enough to use Android TV Netflix app and HD streaming but Netflix doesn't want me to do it. That's silly. Anyway, they're the ones in command.
This was the rom I used It is specific to s905 chipset http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...tv-by-coolio&usg=AOvVaw2q191l80yXj7dOGSbpDdFi

Very interesting stuff, thanks!
I re-post you links, shortened (without Google part), so we're sure that they're still going to work in the future.

I sincerely hope this post is going to help someone. It's still one of the few I've found when I was Googling about this matter.
Cheers!
The fact that I couldn't find a working Netflix apk for Android TV for my uncertified device irritated me so much that I decided to make my own sort of lol you can tweak the settings of Titan BETA skin for Kodi to look and act very much like Android TV Netflix here is what you can make it look like.

That's seriously really cool, mate! Congratulations!
Maybe if I had seen your work before, I would have kept my Probox2.
Thank you for posting in this thread.
Someone will have the apk mod of 3.2.2 netflix Android TV mod from the wetek forum, mega links were canceled.
I have Magisk + hide + lioemcrypto module + L1 and L3 would like to try if this apk works, very interested in the design and not in the resolution.
Hi januxool, no, I'm sorry, I didn't save it anywhere so I haven't got it.
Remote Crontrol issues Original Netflix don't scroll episodes menus
The Netflix works with the Original Remote Control? Can I change episodes 18, 20,21 with the original remote control or I need to buy a Mini-Keyboard to scroll on netflix episode menus?
Bump.
Still no way to get this working?
I'm sure with a rooted device there's a way to trick Netflix servers into thinking I'm using a certified box.
