Same problem here! I wish they didn't fix this. I tried xposed xprivacy but that did not work either :(

If someone has this figured out an updated apk is very appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] itbedave:
For kicks I tried sideloading this onto my Fire TV. App starts up then tells me it's outdated and needs to update. I click ok and it goes to the Amazon App store where the app says it's not compatible with my device.

I could really care less about being able to watch TV away from home on it. I think if you could get this working for Fire TV - which means disabling the ADB check AND being able to use the Fire TV Remote app for navigation - that would be HUGE and would render my Roku to the old gadget drawer.

Thanks!

Working bufferless with my nookHD , simply awesome.

Human habit is more you get the more you want, so I would like a non proxy trick :)

did not work on 3/4G

I tried this version but still could not watch TWC on 3/4G. Did not try vpn. My S4 is rooted but both Play version and this do not have problems. HDMI works with both vrrsions.

Has anyone that has looked into the apk found how to access the developer preferences activity that is in the services?
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbless:
Has anyone been able to get this work correctly using SSH tunnels in recent times? I can connect in just fine and dont get any errors of any types until I try and load a channel. It just fails at that point and says to try again later. I am open to switching to VPN also if anyone can confrm that is working with the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] Taxarod:
Well I attempted this and it worked, it's just very very slow on the proxy with Wingate. It buffers every few seconds and its unwatchable. But then again I'm about 3k miles away from where I have the server installed, the ping is about 200ms and I get a down speed of 4mb.

I was looking into OpenVPN but I was never able to figure it our properly so that I could access internet through it, I got to conect to the other machine but thats as far as I got.

Does anyone have any ideas as for how to do this a different way? Atleast so I could actually watch without buffer every 2 seconds? I don't care for encryption etc, I just want it to be watchable.

Thanks.

Hi guys, sorry i've been absent so long. I think i mentioned it earlier, but I no longer have Cable services with TWC, only internet. But I'm starting to get back into developing and if you guys are still interested, I can start releasing new versions of the app.

If enough people are interested, then I can try and do it from what i remember to change... but my hands are tied when it comes to debugging since I can't even log in to the app, but I can certainly try!

No replies are needed, just like this post and I'll know you're interested. Now if you want the app faster and bug-free for sure then i'd need an account to work on. Someone in the past allowed me to use one, but now he doesn't have TWCTV either lol.

But if you'd like to provide an account for me to work on It would definitely make releases much faster!

P.S: If you do want to provide an account for me to debug, then I'd prefer it if you do not give me your main account info (the one that accesses ur services through the TWC portal), but rather a sub-account that you can create; with that account, I can access live TV for debugging and at the same time not have access to your main account. This protects you from any unauthorized changes, and protects me from being accused of something, lol (also, PM me the info lol)

Anyways, sorry for being away... and if you guys are still interested, I'll stick around and help out...
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:

[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
How is account access going to help without a VPN to a modem on TWC cable?
[Android Apps and Games] DanielNTX:
Because maybe he can disable the VPN check and home gateway check? There was a version that enforced neither a while back.
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
Disable the home gateway check?! I had no idea that was ever done. Thought it was a server side issue, not the client. There would be no reason to disable the VPN check if that was doable.

Are you certain?
[Android Apps and Games] AcuraKidd:
Any updates?
[Android Apps and Games] DanielNTX:
I'm pretty sure I downloaded a version and used it without VPN or a proxy (because I didn't have one setup) and it worked with all channels until TW required a new version. And I was not on my home network.
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
That's interesting. It might have been before they were doing server side checks. The VPN is to get flow to a TWC IP. I Can't see how the app would do such a check without interrogating the server and receiving a signal from it. Which might be. Over my head.
[Android Apps and Games] AcuraKidd:
I can say for sure that the latest version of the app on the play store doesn't let you use a VPN, gives off a message about VPN not allowed or something.

The latest version of the app posted in this thread doesn't work either, because once launched, it says it needs to be updated to use live TV or on demand content.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Hey Guys... good to know people are still interested! I'll start working on a new version today! i'll update you guys as soon as I have a working version.

I still have internet through twc, but besides that, all i would need one for is to make sure I don't break any part of the program... besides that, i can check vpn by setting up my own proxy like i've done it before... the program checks proxy settings in general, so if for example I didn't have internet with them, i could still set up a proxy with a different ISP and it would still block me out.

You're right, this is why VPN/proxy checking needs to be taken off.... it's the only known way to circumvent the Home (MAC) verification and make live tv work with all channels

[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Is there an easy way to get this app to work on the Fire TV? My box is connected via ethernet and the app claims it does not detect a cellular or wifi connection and therefore won't work.

[Android Apps and Games] field3d:
This is the message

The message say "Error" in color blue at left of the message then the full message is:

"We are unable to present channel ... at this time. Please

try a different channel or try again later."

The "..." is the name of the actual channel it must be a variable that tells the channel name but the rest of the message is the important. I think looking where that message is called and removing the Jump to there and continue normal operation don't hurt to anyone that actually are running the application without problems and maybe that can make work the application for the rest that have the troubles. If the message is not shown in the code then is a picture that pop ups there or encrypted but check if you can see the message if found the rest of the condtion I suppose can be removed.

About iOs you are right is for apple I made a typing error there; is just the kindle HD 8.9 with OS 8.1.4 rooted. How can I make a logcat of the app?

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

I add a note here so many people to solve that problem in other devices or roms, because is not only the problem for Kindle, to make work they made this: Edit the file system/build.prop and find the line "ro.build.tags=test-keys" then change to "ro.build.tags="; if not found the "ro.build.tags=test-keys" then search for "ro.build.tags=release-keys" and change to "ro.build.tags=" but actually that fix not work too in some devices or roms including kindle 8.9 rooted with OS 8.1.4.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
channel error: I know where it presents the error message... thing is that when i inspect the traffic i can see that the server returns a 403 response.... in other words (Not Authorized)... but you said that the channel shows for 30 seconds before that happens? If so, then can you switch back and forth between channels and see another 30 seconds? or do you need to restart the app? (this would make more sense, due to re-authentication etc...). Also, i could theoretically make it not show that error and continue as normal, but as i mentioned earlier, the problem (most of the time) when you get that error is because the server is returning a 'not-authorized' response and therefore there's nothing to stream... forcing it to continue will most likely cause a force close of the app... as i've learned from making it skip around everywhere during my testing (lol)

logcat: i'm interested in what android is doing at the time you get these errors... you can do a standard logcat: adb shell logcat and stop it like 2 secs after the message appears (click ok) and then close and save logcat. I'd also like specific twc messages from logcat, which havent been very helpful so far but i might get a hint somewhere there... to do that you can do: adb shell logcat | grep 'twc' (that will filter only messages from the time warner app) so basically 2 logcats, but the first one should do just fine, i can filter it out manually...

test-keys fix: yes that was a solution until now... the app completely does not check for test-keys or anything related to root or non-oem versions of roms, there's no way for the app to test for root anymore because that part of the code has been completely replaced. if you still get a root message then let me know (and make sure you have THIS app installed... uninstall the old twc app first and then install my version)

On a separate note... has anyone been able to watch tv with an HDMI cable with no problem? need to know so code doesn't branch out everywhere...

On a last note... yes I did change my alias :P

Re: [APP][03.04.13] Time Warner Cable Root/ADB checks removed & watch away from home!

Works great on nook tablet running CM 10.1 on home wifi. Awesome work!
[Android Apps and Games] field3d:
OK

Ok I'll prepare the logcats. About the failure: When the message appears gives you the option to press ok if you press ok you need to wait a little 5 seconds or 10 seconds to press another channel if you press another channel before that 5 or 10 seconds you just have a black screen after that 5 or 10 seconds if you press another channel the image back full color and quality but again in around 30 seconds boom the message again and on that way in an endless loop like you see the app is useless, of course is not 30 seconds always exactly sometimes the message appears at 10 seconds other times at 20 seconds. And never the app close, freeze or force you to login again never do that, if you login and logout manually if you want to do the same issue but I mean the app is always open never exist a forced logout or an app crash. I'll keep you updated for the log files.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Ok try these in order:

v1 - http://www.mediafire.com/?ecz9c674l7zfg3l

v2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?drlnevv6lejmd09

v3 - http://www.mediafire.com/?rzrknu2qq5jykvf

let me know if any of these work... if v1 works then you don't need to test v2... etc...

They have different video and audio settings.... if none of these work then try disabling stuff like dolby audio or eq settings or anything that might play audio in the background, I don't know exactly how android handles everything as i'm still familiarizing myself with everything, but trying that shouldn't hurt :P

if you get to v3 and it doesn't work can you send me a logcat of that?

Great! thanks for letting me know, I've updated the OP with the newest version :)
[Android Apps and Games] field3d:
Is working better here are the notes:

Amazing is working better but not at 100% I think at 40-60%. Look version 1 works better than the others, the version 2 is not working at all, version 3 works better than 2 but 1 is the best. With version 1 I could view for an example the channel A&E the first channel of the APP never put the message, worked like a charm that channel! but for ohter example BIOHD put the usual msg like other channels for example MOREMAXHD never put the message too, AMC HD put the message, etc. I don´t know really in what consists some channels work and others no I suppose is maybe the quality of the steam; maybe the non working channels are in more quality and weight than the working channels.

But version 1 is the best improves amazing the number of channels to view.

I sent you via PM 2 logcats files; one for the version 1 when it crash in the non working channels and I played in the version 1 a little between channels working and no working, maybe with that you can see more differences. The version 3 logcat I sent how you said because was the last test but in that version AEHD works but after few minutes crash like usual. Really the big improvement was with version 1 there some channels never crash like before I told or at least you can view a few minutes before the version 1 was impossible to look something.

Of course I´ll try to disable EQ or audio stuff to check but I see you are moving values that are putting in very good condition the APP.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
ugh it's starting to look like a deeper issue, but i messed around with the values a bit more... try this and let me know how it goes:

Noob Question

Great Post :good:

[*] I use wingate FREE edition (wingate)

Love the NOOB Vid.

As A NOOB - I get one dumb question:

If I use the 'wingate' VPN will it break anything on my new KFHD?

It’s just a matter of time until I root it but, in the meantime I'm going to let the warranty play out.

Thanks,

Mitch :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] field3d:

No luck with MK802ii

I tried all of the posted versions of the app without success. I'm still getting "....can't show the content at this time to try again later"

In the log files I'm seeing the "403" errors.
[Android Apps and Games] Aron_H:
Sorry to hear that. Your not logged on to twc with more than one device at a time are you? I think I read it only supports one device per account. Just a stab in the dark, sorry I can't be of more help.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
See below

Awesome, I will implement this into the main version!

No, you won't break anything; however you will not be able to watch TV away from home until you root it... if you use this version the latest version in the OP and it doesn't work then try this version as it was confirmed working on the kindle fire by field3d: http://www.mediafire.com/?b4to6q8et7i3nyk you will be able to watch live TV INSIDE your home network (your kindle fire has to be connected to your HOME wifi network)... you don't need wingate or anything else for that, just the TWCTV app

Not true... I've been logged in with like 5 devices with no issue...

For everyone having issues

I cannot help you if i don't know the following:

are you using the proxy instructions I mentioned or using the app using your home network?

if you are then please test it on your home network first and make sure it works... if it does then let me know what issues you get when you use wingate and Auto Proxy....

are you using the proxy instructions I posted?

do you have internet service through time Warner?

what device are you using?

what rom and kernel are you using?

are you rooted? With super SU or just su?

send me a logcat while the app is running? Feel free to pm me the logcat

I will update the OP with these instructions and will update it with the Kindle Fire fix later today if possible. If you have a tablet or phone that has issues with this app and this version works for you: http://www.mediafire.com/?b4to6q8et7i3nyk

Then please tell me what device and rom you're using so i can add the fix that's specific to your device

sorry, forgot to ask another question... did you have to disable dolby, or any other EQ or is it working regardless of what settings you're using?

Very brief testing on the new version...

OpenVPN connect client, connecting to a Softether VPN server on my home network.

Downloaded new version, installed it, started VPN, started TWC, signed in, and all my channels showed up, was able to watch, change channels, etc. absolutely smoothly.

Thanks for the hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] 954wrecker:
I really appreciate the work you are doing. I do get this message on my device when I try to watch something.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
does the message go away when you disconnect HDMI or does it stay that way? If it stays that way, then maybe you can try tuning to a channel, and then connecting the HDMI cable... at least for now until i fully remove the checks
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Can you check to see if this app works on your fire tv? I've made modifications to the network detection.

Try my latest version... I've spent a while on just HDMI and feel like it's completely gone :) Hope it works for you.

I have an HDMI cable but it's broken, so all i can do is try to send messages to my phone to make the app believe I've plugged in an HDMI cable, but nothing beats the real thing, so let me know!

Awesome! thanks for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
It's working, thanks. Are you able to make the full channel lineup available? It says I'm not on my local network and can only view certain channels live.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
look at my first post for instructions. you need to either set up a proxy server in your home network or set up a VPN connection.

But this is only if you have time warner cable as your internet service provider. If you don't have internet with them, then you can call them up and they will set you up with a cable modem JUST so you can use their app on mobile devices
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Does it actually stream the other channels from the cable box itself? Or is it just their protection? The location with the modem doesn't have TWC internet service -- it's using a DSL connection with low bandwidth.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
No, it streams the channels directly from Time Warner's servers, and the only way they can check if you're streaming from home is for you to connect to their streaming service using their own modems... put simply... when you connect and try to watch a channel, the server checks to see if your connection is originating from a modem that's assigned to your account (via MAC address) which can't be faked via the app... I have a few theories on how to make it work, but essentially it requires a lot of work and probably more knowledge than I have.

I haven't dealt with someone who has time warner TV but not internet. But you can request a modem to stream TWC at no cost... they'll ship it to you and everything... now if your device is in your home network and has an ethernet port, then you can literally just plug that device into the modem directly and enjoy all of your channels.

However, if you want to have all your channels AND have internet on the device at the same time, then this will become tricky, as you will probably need to have a computer with 2 network cards, set up a proxy server on it, set up the computer to forward all twc related traffic to the TWC modem and all other traffic to your DSL box, and set up your phone to use it.

That's what i could think of off the top of my head, but there may be an easier way, and then again i'm tired.... I'll let you know when i come up with a simpler solution, or if someone else is willing to chime in that would be great.

BUT you WILL need a TWC modem to be able to get all your channels... and what's great about this is that you won't use up any traffic from your DSL line :)

So call up TWC and ask to get a modem to use with their app. Once you get it, just plug it in directly to your device and your channels will be available.

If you want the more complex set up, then maybe i can help you via remote desktop or something, just let me know when you get the modem.

P.S: DSL? ewww, why aren't you using their internet? its SO much better :P
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. The DSL was more stable than their internet, so we had switched.

I wanted to check in again. The app is working great.

One more request, if I could be so bold...

Could you remove the popup that asks "Still watching?" I just had it pop up and within 60 seconds, the app went to a black screen and stopped streaming. Seems to be some kind of inactivity timer.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Didn't know they had added that. I'll check it out
