Same problem here this seems to grant access to the USA store only. I guess we need someone to get the apk from a UK version of the TV. Good to know it works though.

Once you install a certain number of apps a second line automatically firms, just happened to me now when I installed Amazon instant.
[Nexus Player General] Archon810:
Sideloaded the Netflix 2.0 APK to my Nexus Player and tested it. It works.

I wasn't able to test for 4K support since the Nexus Player doesn't support 4K. Boxes with 4K, however, like the SHIELD, will likely already come with a 4K-enabled Netflix anyway.

Not sure what else is new otherwise.
[Nexus Player General] bgmncwj:
Does this Netflix APK support surround sound?
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
Here's VUDU..
[Nexus Player General] staknhalo:
Vudu immediately crashes when launched on the ADT-1 :(
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
Oops.. Anyone else tested on Nexus Player?
[Nexus Player General] metaljr81:
Yeah, no luck on nexus player for vudu. It does show up in the app list but crashes right away. ?
[Nexus Player General] the1dynasty:
Thanks for the thread!!

the DirecTV Ready looks interesting since i have a DirecTV account..

i would LOVE to know this as well... its sad when Netflix was even shown at I/O last year and oddly enough came only with 2.0 stereo sound on the Nexus Player... I find myself casting things to my NP when I use Netflix for this exact reason...
[Nexus Player General] Sgt.JimmyRustles:
Sadly Netflix still won't work on the Forge TV

This is bull****, but I still appreciate it.

Could anyone with polish version of Bravia get the IPLA apk off the TV?

I would greatly appreciate any help. The app available in the play store is for mobile devices and requires mouse to operate...

Did you manage to source Bravia version of IPLA apk?

the XBR65-930D, basically North American flavour of X93D doesn't support OTA recording functionality. I am wondering if some apk could "fix" that limitation....

Can someone pls get me Amazon Prime Video for Android TV newest .apk? I have a Sony Android TV and they just launched Amazon Prime Video in my country. The app isn't available here yet. (APK Mirror got DMCA'ed and all amazon apps are gone :( )

it was the same for me but the app is there but it's disabled,use es file explorer and go to local - device - system - app - ATVBlastAndroidTVThinClient-eu and install the apk and you're good to go

[Nexus Player General] Orbiting234:
That can't be right. No way would it be just a mere 61KB like that when the normal app is like 16MB. It's gotta be a stub pointing to another apk that we're missing.
[Nexus Player General] mikelav456:
Agreed.

OP, is the VUDU app even showing up on your launcher home screen? I wonder if this is a stub and the actual app will be pushed to the TV via an OTA?
[Nexus Player General] kpiris:
Yes!! It does support DD+

SIgn in on Nexus Player

Anyone have problems signing into amazon account.
[Nexus Player General] the1dynasty:
nope... US here and works fine...

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Actually I installed it based on your feedback... I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-80 receiver and it's smart enough to switch based on source input for audio... it still defaults to 2.0 sound and its still making my receiver do all the work for upconverting it to 5.1... i'll revert my Netflix app back to the current Play Store version and hopefully this gets an update soon!! Just wanted to share this since its still not 5.1 even though the Netflix app on the screen says it is...
[Nexus Player General] mikelav456:
FWIW, installed Amazon APK on my ADT-1, able to sign-in, choose a video, but it doesn't play. Puts me back to the video info page. Bummer!
[Nexus Player General] jestexman:
Yeah not sure what the problem is. I can only play the video in first square. . Pick anything else and it close the app. .
[Nexus Player General] Archon810:
Thanks, but unfortunately it crashes on start on my Nexus Player.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

VUDU is probably a simple web wrapper. It's quite possible for it to be a small HTML5 app 60K in size.
[Nexus Player General] kpiris:
Besides the netflix app on my nexus player saying audio is DD+ 5.1 (which previous version did not), my Denon AVR also detects it as DD+ 5.1.

The photo is very crappy, if it were a bit better you could see that it detects an input signal with 6 channels (L, C, R, FR, FL and LFE; you see only 5 active speakers because I do not have a sub).
[Nexus Player General] Eyebolt:
Anybody have any luck with Amazon Instant Video to work with the Forge?

I attempted to install...seemed like it was going to install nice, and then just got a message saying the app was not installed. I've sideloaded a couple other apps already.

And yeah...no netflix on the forge at launch is a total failure. Had to send back my Nexus Player that had it due to the audio cut out issue with the player....so now we only netflix via the chromecast.
[Nexus Player General] the1dynasty:
That's weird... I'll try it again when I get home from work... My NP is connected directly to the Pioneer Elite and it doesn't read it as DD+ or anything more than 2.0... I know the app itself adds the audio options... Hopefully its something I screwed up ???
[Nexus Player General] cancuck:
Would it be possible for you to grab the crackle apk? It's not on the nexus players in Canada and also not available in the play store here.
[Nexus Player General] Archon810:
Did you install the regular Amazon app already? If so, it'll conflict and you need to uninstall it first. Not talking about the other Amazon Instant Video, but the actual Amazon app.
[Nexus Player General] patt2k:
yes it works but key mapping is weird

I already had amazon appstore installed so I didn't need to enter my info again.

I don't know how to open OPTIONS I think it's yellow button on Sony TV I was trying to see what is there under options when playing video for example.
[Nexus Player General] galfert:
I figured out the key mappings when using a Bluetooth keyboard on my Nexus Player. Just press the first letter of the color to get that feature. This lets you use the Amazon app an all its functions.

Y = Yellow

B = Blue

R = Red

G = Green
[Nexus Player General] Eyebolt:
Ahh...that's probably it.
[Nexus Player General] patt2k:
fyi you guys might get sometimes license error,what I did was find different TV show and play any episode,once it loads load the TV show you wanted to play when getting the license error.

[Forge TV]
[Nexus Player General] cancuck:
To get mine to show 5.1 I had to uninstall the old Netflix, install the new one, log into Netflix then restart the nexus player.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus Player General] reg6ft3:
Did this and can confirm my Sony Amp also broadcasts programs correctly in 5.1. Cheers
[Nexus Player General] pbanj:
thank you for this, i notice its a bit slow when loading but i will take it over nothing.
[Nexus Player General] volwrath:
My Denon as well. This great!..but it is absolutely BS that Netflix hasnt updated their app for NP to broadcast in DD. I

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Just add more apps and they will eventually wrap I think
[Nexus Player General] the1dynasty:
I can confirm this might be an issue with the Pioneer then... I've tried it several times in all sorts of orders and nothing seems to get 5.1 to work ?????... At least I can leave it on 2.0 for now until they update their app... Perhaps this is why they haven't done this yet...
[Nexus Player General] frankenbeans:
Crackle APK

Unfortunately Crackle is not in the Australian play store (and Canadian as well apparently) so could someone post the APK? Please??
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
Here' Crackle
[Nexus Player General] Sgt.JimmyRustles:
I feel somewhat accomplished that I asked for the APK, and due to that, Android Police is reporting on the fact that it works in 5.1 surround sound. Sadly though, it doesn't work on my system, the Razer Forge. Alas, I'll have to wait for someone to do some Build.Prop modifying to test.
[Nexus Player General] emartino:
German Amazon Instant

Works great on a Nexus PLayer - only my german Amazon account is not compatible with the app... Anyone with a german (european?) Sony TV could upload the APK?

Thanks!
[Nexus Player General] drilus:
I'm getting "there was a problem parsing the package" while trying to install the Amazon Instant apk.

Is there something I'm missing?

I don't think he mentioned anything about HBO GO App,if there is one then I will be very happy.

I will again check, but I dont think I have those in there. I posted pictures few pages back with all the available apps.

I will post all Sony apps tonight.

I too have the same question. That multi line layout works so much better. There is a way to set it up that way on the Nexus Player?

Any possibility you could post the Zattoo android tv app from the german play store for android tv? Thanks.
[Nexus Player General] jsuresh:
I think Amazon figured it out, it played nice until this morning on my Nexus Player, I keep getting license error now, doesn't let me play any prime videos.
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
I don't have a prime account to figure out if it's doing same for me on original Sony TV or not.
[Nexus Player General] parkerlreed:
He's dead, Jim.
[Nexus Player General] Markyzz:
Could probably get around it by adding the app to your library thru the Web browser, then install either the Amazon App Store or just the regular Amazon shopping app and sign in. I don't have prime but this is how I got HBO Go working on my ADT-1, though I just used a Kindle Fire that still had FireOS on jt
[Nexus Player General] Orbiting234:
Seriously Amazon? What a bunch of dicks! Why do they support the Android TV platform within the Sony TV but go out of their way to block us using the APK from it on a Nexus Player? It isn't like we're pirating or anything. We're paying Prime members just wanting to consume our content! UGH! /rant
[Nexus Player General] Almostghosts:
Maybe it would work if we edited the device name in build prop. I don't know what the Sony TV device name is though
[Nexus Player General] jsuresh:
This is no where close to Sony TV app experience.
[Nexus Player General] lolwatpear:
is there a youtube app you can upload?
[Nexus Player General] jvolzer:
build.prop

I also wonder if changing the build.prop file would make it work. We need to know the device name though.
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
Here you go.. Build.prop
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
Here are SONY Music app..
[Nexus Player General] opssemnik:
Can anyone send me the apk of Sony instant video and Sony TV build prop? I will try to make a patched apk.

EDIT:nvm, got it
[Nexus Player General] patt2k:
HBO GO app from Fire TV ? I tried it many ways but after I signed in I would get playback error.

How exactly did you do it?
[Nexus Player General] opssemnik:
could you send or show ro.build.fingerprint inside build.prop?
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
Here you go..
[Nexus Player General] opssemnik:
thanks to [MENTION=4478308]brar.arsh[/MENTION] for providing the info i patched almost every device check, so try it now

Unninstall your current version before installing the patched one

if it still dosen´t work then give the feedback (i didnt want to bother him anymore asking for other things from his sony tv lol)

link

http://d-h.st/UskI (AmazonSonyTVInstantVideo-patched.apk)
[Nexus Player General] jvolzer:
When you open the app it says it can't connect. Thanks for trying though
[Nexus Player General] opssemnik:
thanks, will look into.

Edit:

[MENTION=4478308]brar.arsh[/MENTION]

if it isn´t any hassle for you, could you go to this website on your tv?

then post the output or a photo

http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

also

could you install AIDA64 or some device settings app and give me the following info?

System -> Hardware (or if using terminal emulator / adb shell you can get this using getprop ro.hardware)

Android -> Bootloader (or if using terminal emulator / adb shell you can get this using getprop ro.bootloader)

these 2 props are set by the bootloader via the kernel command line, so they wont appear in build.prop however they are fields of Build.java class
[Nexus Player General] Sgt.JimmyRustles:
Hey, could you make a patched Netflix APK with the sony build.prop for the Forge TV? I'd like to see if we can finally get some semblance of good Netflix for the Forge.
[Nexus Player General] opssemnik:
from this netflix?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60723403&postcount=24
[Nexus Player General] Sgt.JimmyRustles:
Yeah if possible. Razer Forge TV gives us all a 13 error "This Version of Netflix is not compatible with your device", so maybe some patched apk will work.

anyone ever get vudu working?
[Nexus Player General] Sgt.JimmyRustles:
Not that I'm aware of. That appeared to be a web interface actually.

I'm hoping we can get Netflix on the Forge TV still. :D
[Nexus Player General] opssemnik:
sorry for delay, was out of home, will see if i can do it now

i hope im almost fixing amazon app then i start netflix

the amazon app checks for its own signature and then it sends to server lol, why you so scared about modified apks amazon??
[Nexus Player General] the1dynasty:
Any word on that DirecTV apk?
[Nexus Player General] jayochs:
looks like amazon app is broken..says there's a new version, so this one doesn't run at all.

damn shame.
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
I got an update, they removed the Amazon app from my TV.. Lol

My TV is still 5.0.2

Will check whats new, it took 30 minutes to install update.
[Nexus Player General] jfriend33:
Amazon updated the app. Now it won't even launch. Can someone post the latest version. Maybe it isn't blocked lol. Have a adt 1
[Nexus Player General] brar.arsh:
Version 1.39_4

Here you go!!!

Latest version!!

Please check if it works..
[Nexus Player General] Orbiting234:
Well, the complaint about there being a newer version is gone but the license error remains when you try to play anything. :( F'n Amazon...
[Nexus Player General] springroll2000:
Was excited to try this but found out it's the same on my Yamaha amp; 2.0 only.

Not sure if firmware has anything to do with it; i'm still on 5.1 rooted, not upgraded to 5.1.1 yet.
[Nexus Player General] Sleeepy2:
I think it is a firmware issue. I was on stock 5.1 and it had the DD 5.1 option. I formated and switched to CM12 and now I only have the stereo option. ?
[Nexus Player General] Kovs:
damn you amazon!!!!!!

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Interesting thought...
[Nexus Player General] Bob Smith42:
Well, don't feel bad. I have a Kindle Fire stick and today I started getting LICENSE_ERROR on any instant video. So, Amazon are big a-holes, even to Prime customers. LOL

I just checked and my prime goes until August. So it is definitely the Fire stick not working for ANY instant video.

----------

UPDATE: So I got on chat with Amazon support. They fixed my Fire TV stick. Had to go into settings, manage installed applications. Then select "Instant Video" and force stop, then clear data. Then unplug and plug in fire tv stick. Afterwards it is fixed. ROFL

My Instant Video version is 1.0.1382.4-ATVAndroidEdCli... (sorry its cut off here)
[Nexus Player General] jayochs:
hmm. maybe that's something we should try to do on the nexus. I doubt it'd work, but might as well. I pay for prime, i should be able to get it on these devices. stupid amazon.
[Nexus Player General] mrbo:
confirmed...

The latest version posted here runs, but as soon as you launch a video to watch, you get the dreaded LICENSE_ERROR. Clearing the app data and re-logging into the amazon account does not fix it. Amazon is stupid. What incentive do they have to screw with their Prime customers with Android hardware!?
[Nexus Player General] springroll2000:
I upgraded to 5.1.1

Uninstalled the stock Netflix and installed the Sony-TV version of Netflix, the DD 5.1 option still doesn't come up.
[Nexus Player General] -Maverick-:
The 5.1 sound Netflix pushes out is Dolby Digital Plus, if your A/V receiver doesn't support it or hasn't received a firmware update to correct a issue with playback, you'll likely run into problems. Up until last year I was having similar issues, until Denon finally pushed out a firmware update for my receiver. I'm unsure if it was a Denon only issue, but I figured I mention it so people can investigate their own receiver.

http://usa.denon.com/us/news/news/101
[Nexus Player General] Ksiynder:
Thanks

Very useful thread!
[Nexus Player General] bozzykid:
It looks like Netflix has now released the updated Netflix app on all other Android TV devices and it seems to be based off of the version on the Sony TVs.
[Nexus Player General] montajd:
I guess all hope for a working AIV apk is gone, what a shame
[Nexus Player General] Kovs:
Indeed it does. I was looking forward to this and having one piece of harware to have all services and not have 2 different devices.

Damn shame. F U Amazon. Google needs to mimic Prime and life would be golden!
[Nexus Player General] hotrodwinston:
Amazon apps depend on a framework just like Google Play services - we need all the Amazon apps from the Sony TV and a keyboard to finish setup - start from clean - no Amazon apps and all Amazon app data cleared - aiv should be the last thing installed.
[Nexus Player General] montajd:
If that is the case, do we know for sure that an Amazon App is already installed on these Sony TV's? If the AIV app is being updated through Google Play, then the only thing we need is the framework, and Proper DRM. Just a guesstimate. I still say we should work on the Google TV apk, reason being it would probably be harder to block on Amazon's side.
[Nexus Player General] hotrodwinston:
I don't think aiv is being updated thru play store but thru an Amazon App Store on the Sony TV.
[Nexus Player General] montajd:
That sucks, is there a SiriusXM app for Sony android TV's?
[Nexus Player General] xaudiblex:
Can you pull a copy of the Amazon App Store & possibly the Opera App Store from the Sony TV?
[Nexus Player General] pedromvu:
Just checked the code of the latest apk posted, and it seems most of the implementation and everything involving validation and DRM is in java side, so what opssemnik was trying could possibly work, unfortunately i don't have experience with the process to patch an apk, my guess is there is probably something wrong with the patching process that makes it fail earlier because of some other validation Amazon has in the code.
[Nexus Player General] Kovs:
Good check. Maybe someone with some Java knowledge can chime in and help us out.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I know on other devices, we need the amazon app store. is this going to be the case as well on the sony tv?
[Nexus Player General] JayDaKissEP:
Is anyone able to get Amazon Music to sideload and work on the Nexus Player?
[Nexus Player General] RGSPro:
Any hope of a solution to get AIV working on the Shield TV? The chromecast option is very annoying to setup and get working right. Android AIV sideload is impossible to navigate via the remote.
[Nexus Player General] Kovs:
I hope so, but I am not holding my breath!
[Nexus Player General] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Like with Android phones and tablets. Perhaps Amazon might give it to us. AFTER they make an Amazon App store app for Android TV and make us take it in order to use AIV.

The easiest remedy, is to get a Roku streaming stick. It has Amazon Prime video and Music. Plus channels you can't get with Amazon's stick or Nexus Player.

I use both NP and Roku. Best of both worlds.
