Hi everyone, new to this forum.
I've got a TCL U58E6800FDS smart TV running software version V8-NT67K01-LF1V164 (It isn't connected to the internet so it hasn't been updated in a while, which is probably not a bad thing.)
I've seen a thread on this forum here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/smart-tv-android-tcl-55-4k-ultra-how-to-t3022172
about rooting my particular smart TV. Now I'm not particularly interested in rooting the smart TV myself, I merely want to decrypt some PVR recordings I made using the TV before I got an actual PVR that doesn't encrypt stuff. The recordings are stored in a file called 'data.000' and there are also a few other files, presumably containing metadata. Mediainfo doesn't say much about it:
mediainfo data.000
General
Complete name : data.000
File size : 738 MiB

But it does have the file signature of an MPEG2 transport stream (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures)
I think that it has been encrypted using a standard method (hence the existence of the MPEG2-TS file signature), but the metadata has been stripped from the video. Now, to the bit that's relevant to this forum. I was wondering if someone could send an apk file for this TV's media centre and PVR applications, so I could have a crack at finding the key embedded in these applications.
Cheers, servese43

Hi,
Thinking to develop am android app to display a video or part of the video on mutli-android phone device. It will support sync video and play it at the same time.
Anyone can give me some advice or idea how i can do it?
Thanks.
Im not really sure what you are trying to do. You want to display "part of a video"? Are you trying to output video from the device to a screen? Or from another device to the phone?
Anyway, I suggest you get the Android SDK from google. They basically tell you how to write apps. There are also books or classes you can take too.
So your wanting to make an app that allows you to share and play(synced) video over multiple phones?
Yes as above said you will first need to get the Android SDK, but to write this program you will need to be very skilled programmer with alot of times on your hands...
You will first need to know alot about networking, allowing you to connect to other phones and i assume create a buffer system then have all phones play at time that the buffers are reached to maintain steady flow based of network stats.
If you want to do streaming you will need to know even more, not to mention you will need to probably write your own video playing software.
OR you could simply write a program that links the x # of phones together and then streams from phone a to phones x-n through a 3rd party stream capable video player.

Need this APPS !!!
Blinkendroid has been found but I'd like to watch a movie on my Android device and broadcast / stream it on other Android device synchronised.
ie :
=> I own 2 tablets 7"
=> I want to watch to a movie / TV Show with subtitles

Is there anything yet for this requirement ?

hi folks,
recently i have tried to copy paste the CCNA courses (Exploration) from my laptop to the tablet. it is not too smart but i was thinking perhaps may work as the browser i use, Dolphin HD, support flash and java. finally copied the entire folder and launched the index.html. it worked the intro page including the flash but nothing else. no course can be launched.
was anyone able to figure it out how the official CCNA courses (installed on Windows) can be run on android?
highly appreciate it.
I'd be interested in seeing this work.. the the ATP will become my primary device then
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Any thoughts?
CCNA course offline (flash) doesn't work on android

i have the same problème... it works on debian but not on my acer a700. Help me
:crying: Tanks a lot.
I'm assuming that these courses aren't interactive; they're just a series of videos, right? Just transcode them into a format that Mobo Player or countless other video players will play.
There must be video files in one of the directories. I would suggest directly opening the video files than opening the index page or main app via browser. For video player, use MX Player.
It would be nice if this could work.
I will ask some application developers in my class some information
If i got some information i will come back on this matter.
It does work on Backtrack and CentOS, theoretically it also should work on android
Sorry for my bad English.
(Off-topic: I am doing CCNA 4 now and it's quite hard)
I recently bough a tv from the Aldi because it was quite cheap(699euro for 42"), but also because it's smart tv is based on android 2.3.4
I have been able to get rid of the stock launcher that MTlogic supplied and replaced it with ADWlauncher to be able to get access to some more settings.
My question is would it be possible to flash a custom version of CM9 to the tv?
I can't put a list up of the technical specs as of yet, but i will try later on.
If i'm not mistaken it uses a broadcom 720mhz cpu
Link to product is:

Hi gazlufc,
I have the same TV. In the mean time I managed to root it, but in the process I overwrote the video player application.
Could you please post the apk somewhere, so that I can download it ?
I could support you in rooting your tv, if you wish. Also, I managed to fix AC3 sound problems for network video playing in android.
Btw. the SOC is amlogic meson m1, for which I know at least a few firmwares which should be easy to port on the tv.
Cheers.

Would love to know how you've done it!
Have you also find a way to install another rom on it, like CM? (at least an upgrade to Android 4.0?)
Welcome to the whole forum, I'm new here and I hope to find a way to solve a problem I have with my android tv box MX9 pro. The first thing I did to whatch Prime Video was to install it from the play store. The application works, allows me to log in and gives me all the movies, tv series available. But when I want to watch a video content, whatever it is, the movie starts for about a second then closes (crashes) and returns to the home page of the chosen content.
Then i tried to install the version for Android TV, obviously not through the play store, and even in this case I log in regularly. When I want to see a video content, the video does not start but constantly remaining the buffering circle.
Finally I tried to see if I could bypass the application by going through KODI and I installed the Sandmann79 add-on for prime video and, although with a different procedure, I regularly access my Prime account. When I want to start watching a video content, after setting the standard kodi player, this seems to start regularly, the time bar advances but the screen remains blank and nothing is heard.
At this point I have exhausted all the options available to me and I am forced to ask for help in this forum.
Is it really impossible to play the videos of the first videos with this device?

I don't have this device but, I'm just wondering if the following will also be helpful for what you are looking for. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within it too.

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my SM-G900T device.
Thank you, i had already Read that post and i tried the last apk 4.10.3 of [email protected] but using that apk, i got an error of internet connection when i tried to watch a video. What i am trying now is to set VLC as external default player in kodi to make sure that all the videos launched by kodi are opened with vlc that always reads everything. There is an xml file to be integrated into a specific folder of kodi but then, when I want to open the video, it gives me a message that there is an external player but I do not open it then, yet, I can not say if this additional method it works or not.
Anyway the procedure suggested in the post you conseiled me doesn't work, at least for me.
Thanks Anyway.
Rockchip, the chipset company already fixed the problem of Amazon Prime Video not working over a year ago on similar devices.
The manufacturer of your tv box must have really outdated firmware and zero support since they didn't fix it.
But Amazon also blocks the tablet app from working on devices with traces of AndroidTV as in your case and the AndroidTV app only works on full AndroidTV devices having Playready 3 DRM, which your device doesn't have, thus the error with the AndroidTV app.
You can use the Kodi addon, it works correctly, check if your are using the latest version and login from the addon's settings and wait, also make sure the InputStream addon is enabled and changed to InputStream and not Kodi or something else.
Thank you. I don't think My Android Device is out dated because received Android 8. Anyway if the problem is with drm 3 no way. Not even with kodi works, i tried all i could try. I installed addon prime video of sandmann79 and enabled inputstream but i only get The movie starting with no image neither sound, only White screen and time bar going on. Therefore i wanted to try an external player as vlc.....
I think i can't go on anymore, the Device doesn't send anymore video Signal to my tv so i can't anymore display it on the tv..... Definitively broken.
At the end of all i got a conclusión that only a tv box is worthy of bringing this name, ie nvidia shield tv, albeit with all its flaws. I had one and despite very few apps were on the play store (Chrome on all), did not have an on / off button, did not display all the shortcuts in the app section, had absolutely no such problems. I gave it back because I did not like these things but I did not think that these Chinese boxes were such a crap. I tried h96 max +, mx9 pro and both of them stopped after two days of work. I think to back to buy a shield tv, the only box worked fine with prime video, Netflix, without lags thanks to his powerful hardware.
Hello guys,
I saw this topic on the forum about a custom Fortnite apk, bypassing the device check to play it on any device:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/port-fortnite-android-device-check-t3827258
And i have a similar problem so that's why i create this thread.
There is a game called AM2R, which is a really nice Metroid 2 remake made by true fans on Game Maker 1.4
It's a pc game but Game Maker can also export it on android. The problem is the version 1.4 can only export on Android phones, not Android TV. The version 2.0 can export on Android TV but i asked the dev and they said it's impossible to convert their game to game maker 2.0 because it would take a huge amount of work.
But i want to play it on Nvidia Shield TV, which is an android TV, since i don't have a PC and i don't like to play on a small phone, especially with a virtual controller.
When i tried to launch the game on my Nvidia Shield TV, i have this message:
'' FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of <Unknown Event>
for object oTestKeys:
Incorrect Android target... this executable targets Android TV devices. This build is for Android. ''
As you can see, the game check the device and see that it's not a phone so it doesn't launch.
I think it's possible to modify the apk to fool the game and make it work on Android TV, using a similar method than the one used for the Fortnite mod.
But I tried the tutorial of that topic and when i decompile the apk using apktool, there is no smila folder so i can't modify the file needed.
Maybe there is something to do in the Android Manifest, i saw something called ''intent'', with the words ''ouya'' and ''tv'' in it (ouya = another android tv)
And i saw on internet that a developer can ban Android TV using a command in Android Manifest, so I think the opposite is possible too. Maybe there is something to delete in it.
Or something to add in the apk to bypass the device check and say to the app that it's not an Android TV but a Samsung phone, like for the Fortnite mod.
So can someone try to modify the apk to make it work on Nvidia Shield TV please?
I'm not an Android specialist so i can't do it myself...
Here is a link to download the apk:

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.
Another solution could be an app simulating a phone on android tv, maybe the app would launch.
But i don't know if it exist
So no solution? :/
It's really impossible?
