Is anyone getting the update error? Just seeing it this morning and makes DTV NOW unusable. I'm running the DTV Now Beta (DirecTVNow_beta_2.0.10.06114_modified.apk) on my Shield and am getting the following:

DIRECTV NOW needs to update

To access your content, please update the DIRECTV NOW app.
​

I can Exit or Update Now. I choose Update Now and it takes me back to the Home Screen with the message, "You don't have an app that can do this."

Just curious if anyone else is getting this or if there is a newer Beta out there.

Hello Testers,

This evening we will be upgrading a few things.* This upgrade will run from 4 – 10 PM PST.* During this time you will still be able to beta test as usual, although you might experience intermittent streaming issues.* We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks again for testing along with us.

Looks like a new version of the beta has been released for fireTV: 2.0.11.01139.

As for the running on my Mi Box vs Bravia TV, I'm wondering if someone could modify the beta app with the mobile profile like a user did for the current production version. I'm curious if that would fix the issue I was seeing in my logcat about an unsupported device.

Here is the Amazon version of the beta file,

I messed up earlier was making some changes and deleted the Amazon folders so now all the amazon versions have broken links . Didn't keep back ups of the amazon versions on PC. Restored the folders but I guess it didnt fix it.

Anyways here is the non modified amazon beta version . Let me know if you have any issues. Sorry

https://www.mediafire.com/file/9ky2v7ev6aetnln/DirecTVNow_beta_amazon_2.0.11.01139.apk

I reuploaded the latest non modified stable version .5100

I didn't have any luck with the streaming last time so doubt that it will be different this time.

But if anyone needs it it's up, since I accidentally deleted all the Amazon versions earlier.

Is there a latest version with location permissions enabled? This Version on my Mi Box is laggy Audio/video out of sync and dropped connections.

Here is the latest version that Achilles posted with the Location Permissions enabled.:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kee34RZZ-NQkV4Eh7lNGObbntB-8bQj1

Direct TV Now determines your local stations based on your billing address and your GPS location.

I use this Fake GPS app on my Shield and enable it immediately after I reboot the device.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps

Obviously, if you are physically in Houston, LA, Chicago, etc, you probably won't need the GPS spoofer installed.

One you install Direct TV Now, enable the Location permissions and run the device like you normally would.

Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]

Achilles,

Thanks for continuing to pass the updates along to the "the masses"...

To "The Masses":

My $0.02 on the subject of "Modified vs Unmodified"... I started off using the modified versions and it was somewhat unpredictable (package install errors, error 40 on channels, etc)... at the same time I had the Amazon/unmodified versions running on another Shield TV.

After awhile I was noticing far fewer issues with the unmodified versions and have converted the remaining modified to the unmodified versions. Besides the initial Amazon Appstore setup maybe not being so easy, but after that, "piece-o-cake"...

I guess what I'm saying, is if you are using the modified version, maybe try the Amazon/unmodified route and see if it works out better.
