Not sure if this is the right place but here it goes.
I have both Tanix TX3 mini and TX9 pro
I've installed Disney+ on both but I'm having problems with the sound. Both load and can stream but there is no sound on most of the stuff (seems like newer stuff like starwars stuff, avengers etc.) But older things like early season of "Hannah Montana" stream fine. Strange thing is if you download the episode and then play back it's fine.
I've tried virtually all combinations of audio settings and no joy.
Doing some searching I think I saw something on the lines of its to do with the audio they use when streaming, needs a Dolby chip.
Anyone come across this? Or know a fix?
Or even recommend an Android box that works with Disney+
Thanks
Found this information on another site, seems similar to what your asking ! A long shot but worth a try !!!
Good Luck
Disney+ issues:
I've noticed on some of these boxes, videos won't play without having to first click the download button and then stopping download for it to play a video.
A way to fix that would be doing the following down below in Magisk. Another way is using Google Chrome, but before loading the web page, click the menu from top right hand side (3 dots) and click check box "Desktop site" to view in Google Chrome.
Open Magisk Manager and then go to the downloads section from the top left menu, and in the top right corner in the search bar type liboemcrypto disabler then download and install that module. It will require a reboot after you install the module, so please do so and reboot.
Now you should be able to play videos without having to first click download button and stopping it to play a video.
Remember this isn't the case with all boxes and I don't make the Disney+ app. This is just things I have encountered and found a solution to.

maybe your box doesnt support the encoders/decoders for the audio or not supported codecs ?
Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work.
Currently looking for a box that will play Dolby stuff built in.

On my Nexus 9, in the Google Play Store, when I try to watch the demo video for any app, it will only play about 1 second of the video. Anyone else have this problem? Please reply either way. I would like to know if its working for anyone else.
Thanks!
Same for me. I first thought it was WiFi sucking, but its too consistent, its a bug on n9, works fine on my nexus 5.
Thanks. I thought the same thing and I have also tested on the same WiFi with my Nexus 5, both running Android 5.0.1 and it works on Nexus 5. Anyone know if this has been reported?
Ditto. Nexus 7 on Lollipop. Same issue. Tried all the normal debugging methods with the play store and video players.

Ditto on Nexus 9 here also.
I have the issue on my Shield Tablet running 5.0.1
I went into the developer options and unticked use Nuplayer, rebooted, that got it working for a while before it stopped again.
Ticking and unticking that box now has no effect.
Nexus 9 on 5.0.1
I see I am not the only one that has this issue. I did notice that if you hit the settings icon lower right corner of the screen. You have an option to select quality which doesn't seem to stick. But it also has a youtube link that if you tap, takes you to the youtube app and plays the video just fine through the youtube app itself.
Also when listening to music through the google play music app, when it has an option to play the music video, the same thing happens .
I have tried messing with the NuPlayer and AwesomePlayer, rebooting etc. and can only get 1 video to play before its back to not playing again.
I saw that a similar issue was reported to google where no videos could be played but this seems different? Can anyone confirm if its the same or different? and/or if google is working on a fix?
Exact same issue here on Nexus 9. Videos play for about half a second then stop. This happens in Google Play store previews, and Google Music videos. I have tried everything, including restarts, clearing cache, deleting/reinstalling all related apps, adjusting Nuplayer setting, and even factory reset. My Nexus 5 has no problems, so it's clearly a Nexus 9 bug. I tried contacting Google and they gave me the typical 'turn your tablet off by holding the power button for a whooooole 2 seconds....' response. I'm a long time Nexus fan, but I do get tired of these bugs.
Anyone found a solution?
It's not just a Nexus 9 problem, I'd already posted it doesn't work on my Shield tablet and I upgraded my old N7 2012 to 5.0.2 yesterday and it doesn't work on that either.
I don't think there is any solution sadly.
Just uninstall latest youtube update from playstore and it will work fine again.
Stupid google didn't fix this issue yet.
Wow, uninstalling youtube updates actually did work! Thanks!
Worked for me too, thank you
Yup Really puzzles me why google didn't fix this yet.
My back cover was also flexing a bit around middle and upper right (when looking from the back side). That was a pretty easy fix. Now its solid as a rock. If anyone has that problem I could upload a fix on youtube.
Besides above problems, I absolutely love this device.. Imo it's hand down the best android tablet to date, despite these flaws.
If you upgrade to YouTube v10, this will also fox the problem.
If you don't see the update in the Play Store you can download it from APK Mirror.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-10-02-3-apk/
Yes, I can confirm this. Installed latest YouTube update from the Play Store (10.03), now demo videos play fine.
Sent from my Nexus 9

Hi! On my old Spotify Connect thread people wanted the new Spotify app for Fireface but without the need of the Amazon Store so here is a modified version of the new Spotify App.
I don't have an Amazon Stick myself so if any updates arives, post the APK here and I'll remove the need of the Amazon Store :highfive:
This is designed for AndroidTV?
Fantastic, works perfectly on my Shield TV, and has an icon for the Android TV launcher!
EDIT: Can you 'de-Amazon' any APK then?

Mostly. Found out that the app Lucky Patcher could remove the need of Amazon, Google Play and other services from apps. Bin using it to remove the need of Amazon for some apps like Spotify. Never failed to work for me.

Have you been side loading the apk on to another device that has lucky patcher on it?
I have Lucky Pathcer on my phone for ease so I download the APK, install it, launch Lucky Patcher (without running the APK), patch the app into a new APK, share the APK to my Nexus Player using Air-Share and then I have the patched app running nicely on my Nexus Player
I don't see why Lucky Patcher wouldn't work on an Android TV directly, the only problem would be the navigation. No idea how it would work, havn't tried.

Confirmed, you can install lucky patcher on the shield and navigate pretty well actually. What other useful amazon locked apps are we missing out on? I tried slingplayer but there is an issue with the way it loads.
This works perfectly on my Sony 55S8005C. Awesome.

I am trying to get the WatchESPN app for fire stick, would you be able to remove the amazon store authentication for that as well? I will send you the APK when i get it.
I can't start a song from my tv (sony KDL-50W805C). music starts for a split second but pauses then again.
It only works if I press play on the phone and then choose the tv with spotify connect.
Can anyone confirm or has a solution?

This works great for me on Shield TV, but there is one caveat. For some reason I can only select things on the screen by hooking up a mouse/touchpad and using the onscreen cursor to click. If I move to a UI element with the remote and then try to activate it by pressing OK or Enter then nothing happens. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
Volume control
this apk works well but I can't control the volume.
Can you help me?
Would love to get the watchESPN app...

Play youtube vids while screen is off ""NoRoot""No3rdPartyApps""
Hi,
So I Discovered a way to play YouTube videos without the need of being in the youtube app, You can even play when The screen is off
# This method does not require youtube red
# No root is needed
It's actually pretty simple all you need is headphones or earphones with a pause/play Physical button.
1) Plug in the headphones
2) Play any youtube video from the youtube app.
3) Press your home button or switch off your screen, But don't remove youtube from memory.
4) Now all you need to do is click the Physical play button in your headphones.
Idk if it does work on other devices. But it worked on mine
LG G5 (H850) running nougat
Lol that actually worked. It's probably a bug, but i'll take it while it lasts.
the other way, is to use firefox instead of the youtube app.. you can keep it playing in the backgroud or with screen off
Or use OGyoutube. There is a NoRoot version and it enables background play, download and screen off play. I'm using it right now.

Anyone have a link to a clean ogYouTube apk? The one I found is telling me to add an install of something else, microG; Avast didn't flag it, but better safe than sorry.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. The microG APK is required to run OGyoutube.
Got it, thanks! I looked it up, it was legitimate, so I went ahead with the install.
It's an older post but you can also go to the youtube home page, request desktop site, start a video, turn off the screen, turn on the lockscreen and press play.
That was my method until today. Now I use just the play button on the head phones.
thanks.
No Pause Lock
try No Pause Lock for youtube with lock screen nopauselock eu
Or you guys could just get Ogyoutube. That's what I use to play videos in the background
Y Music is also awesome. Doesn;t play the videos, just music. No ads, and background play.
You can also download.
Whenever I launch youtube and play a video, the audio glitches out and the video skips to 27 hours.

Works fine here. Model (3rd/4th gen), size (7/9 inch), ROM and other basic details are needed if you want further help.
It's a 3rd gen 7 inch tablet from 2013 I think

If still running FireOS v4 (7j years old) then YouTube app will likely fail. Sideload a standalone browser such as Opera and enjoy YouTube that way.

I am running v4.5.5.3 And by likely, you mean that it would Probrably not work on it?

FireOS v4.5 is a highly skinned Android 4.4 variant that is 5+ years old and does not natively support Google core apps. Nor is it easy to load Google Play Services which the YouTube app leverages. So yea, it will *probably* fail.
I've seen other people here have been able to get it working along with the THOUSANDS of youtube videos on the topic. These videos don't go in depth on say running a video and just show them installing the app. Are those other people running v5.1 or something?

Well, given there are "THOUSANDS" of instructional videos it should take you no time getting YouTube up and running. I'll just step out of the way a let the experts lead the way ...
Tip: look for videos specifically targeting 3rd gen HDX hardware (screen size doesn't matter) running stock FireOS. It's doable if you don't mind investing hours, dealing with an unstable device and possibly spinning up a 'soft brick' depending on the methodology employed.
Alternatively, root/unlock and install a custom ROM + GAaps
Alternatively, sideload a high quality browser like Opera and play vids there
Alternatively, use a different device running near AOSP such as the Onn 8
Choose your poison wisely. Good luck.
Use browser.
Youtube app sucks since 2018
Older version stopped working after api updates 1 year ago
With silk browser you can choose video quality and get dark mode (the trick to enable its simple, open youtube and switch to desktop version , open configuration menu and enable dark mode,after that switch to mobile version and there is , full darkmode youtube)
If you wanna youtube app, Skytube works fine,you can see your suscriptions videos/ trendings and see comments.
You cannot see live streamings and comment,but its ok for me.
I have tried side-loading Youtube Vanced and NewPipe on my stock HDX 3rd, neither work. Vanced does the weird glitchy playback like you describe, and NewPipe just errors out. As others have said, I imagine it's because of this old Fire OS we're running.
Browser playback works fine. There is an Amazon app store app called 'Video For Youtube' that also works well, it even allows you to sign into your Youtube/Google account. It's free (I'm not the dev.)
Hey everyone,
at first sorry for my bad english!
I have a X96 (16/2GB Version) Android TV Box with the S905X chipset.
For this box it gives many roms and i tested many roms.
The problem in all roms is the same when i need the prime video app.
I download a video to watch it offline...... the download ends perfectly and i shutdown the box.
Then i start the box at the offline place and will watch the video.
It shows an exclamation mark with the message offline license missing!
Please, has anyone a solution or is it unpossible to watch offline content from prime video on an android tv box?
Greetz!
Thus will probably be to do with widevine DRM, have you tried my ATV rom?, you would have to install the mobile version of prime on it, I don't have prime so I cant test myself

Hi!
Today i have tested your linked app. Thanks to this!
Unfortunately that was not the solution.
After Download the video i shutdown the box. Then, when i´m offline i start the box and pen prime video. I go to my videos and it shows my download. When i open it, it shows the same problem:
"drm failure
a problem with your download video
offline_license_missing"
Have you another idea? I have flash your rom with burning tool and the standard flash options.
Have other people the same problem or i am the only one? Is it possible to look offline videos in the prime video app with an s905x box?
*OK, in the last 5 minutes, i have tested several scenarios. I have download a video and then i shut off wifi.
Then i restart the box. After that i go to the prime app and can play the offline video.
At second i have shutdown the box and start it again. After that i can play the video offline.
And at least i shutdown the box an disconnect the power adapter. THAT´S THE POINT! After that, i can´t play the video. It shows the drm failure.
Give it hope to solve this problem or is it unpossible?
