Yes.

The watch will say already authorized, but then give an error for the authentication, leaving stream on the homescreen with "sign in".

I had not, that solved it! Thanks to all!
[Android Apps and Games] XB56:
I noticed this happening for me too on the latest version 7.0.0.009. I am running on a Sony Bravia TV.
[Android Apps and Games] myxdad:
I only get sound, no video on live channels.

On demand just loads... ... ... ... ... ... and never plays anything.

Anyone else with this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
Hey Guys,

Xfinity Stream 7.1 BETA dropped today. However, the code has changed. I'm looking it through it now looking to see if I can still "FIX" to use on our Android TVs.
[Android Apps and Games] XB56:
Thanks for staying on this! Dumb question from me, but the older versions will continue to work, right?
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
Let's hope so. Seems they have been locking out older versions and now the code change.
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
Sometimes I wonder if Comcast changes the code to actually improve the app or if they are just trying to block devices that do not support the official app.

Anyway hopefully you can fix it :)
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
I've been testing different changes to this 7.1 APK for the last couple of days and so far I don't feel I'm making any progress. In fact, in my last test I simply unpacked and repacked 7.1 and it fails to install. And yes, I did uninstall 7.0 prior. I'm linking the untouched 7.1 APK, hopefully someone out there can take a look at it and either find the fix or point me in the right direction. Xfinity Stream UNMODDED 7.1.0.025
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Is there a guide in this thread, I'm interested in knowing the steps that used to work as a start point.
[Android Apps and Games] shinobisoft:
I'll take a look at the apk to see if I can point you in the right direction as I'm not signed up for Xfinity Stream.
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@louforgiveno There is, it's kinda broken up among the many different posts. However, the code has changed so much in 7.1. Basically you take the APK and unpack it and decompile it with APK Editor Studio. Then go to the following file inside classes4: /com/xfinity/cloudtvr/model/video/locks/SecondaryDisplayPlaybackLock.smali

In line 360, look for:

const/4 v0, 0x1

change that 1 to a zero. Compile and Repack the APK. That bypasses the HDMI check for Android/Google TV.

However, that line is now located at line 346 and reads:

move v0, v4

There are some other instances of const/4 v0, 0x1 in the 7.1 SecondaryDisplayPlaybackLock.smali but like I said earlier any change even just unpacking and repacking the APK will result in a failed install. There are also some other new pieces of code in 7.1 that run checks on if the device is an AndroidTV, FireTV, ChromeOS, etc. These are located in com/xfinity/common/android/XtvAndroidDevice.smali

Oh, and installing the stock 7.1 mobile app on an AndroidTV works up until you try to play something and then it throws an error about turning Screen Mirroring off. I wish I could just get the APK to install after unpacking and repacking, then at least I could really test it and see if any of the changes work or throw different errors.
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Could you share where you got the latest version......I'm not seeing versions above 7.0.0.0.5 when searching?
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@louforgiveno I signed up for the BETA through the Play Store. I also have an app called APK extractor on my phone. It will take any installed package and reverse engineer it into an APK file. That's the way i have always done it.
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Thanks for the info!

In the meantime take a peek at this.....could explain the problem....

I've never done more than basic edits in smali files etc...so most of the info is beyond me...but I'm trying to make sense of it all.

I hope this might give ya some ideas

APK builds and installs correctly but it crashes in runtime · Issue #1703 · iBotPeaches/Apktool

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Small development.......i used Apktool M to decompile, didn't make any changes and recompiled (using aapt2) option...not sure if that made the difference, but afterwards i was able to install the apk successfully (on phone).....yesterday tried multiple times with apk tool pro....and those recompiled apks all failed to install......

Now to try to single out the necessary changes to bypass hdmi lock
[Android Apps and Games] jimihendrix2000:
First off, great work to whip this app into shape.

When I downloaded the regular xfinity stream app for my android box I got the dreaded “screen mirroring is not currently supported.” The apks here have overcome that challenge.

I do, however, experience another strange problem that I was hoping someone here might help me understand or fix. I tried it with a few different versions (most recently 7.0.0.009, but also several versions of the 6.xx.x.xxx) but they all exhibit the same issue:

None of the regular channels work. I can get some of the “TV GO” channels to work, but not all of them. I’m located in my home xfinity network. When I try to play CBS for instance, I get a message that says “Unfortunately Stream has stopped.” The app then restarts. This same phenomena occurs with all of the regular live tv channels and most of the tv go channels.

To my knowledge, I’ve allowed all privileges, location services, etc.

My xfinity stream services are in proper working order as I can use the full compliment of features on my devices that are supported by the standard app.

What should I try to do to troubleshoot this?
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@jimihendrix2000 Are you experiencing (Hah, Hendrix reference) the same behavior on your phone when connected to your home network?
[Android Apps and Games] jimihendrix2000:
No, my phone can stream all the channels, recordings, etc when on my local network.
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@jimihendrix2000 What Android Box are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] jimihendrix2000:
The box is called a Zidoo 9xs, it’s running android 6. It’s a bit of an oddball because it also has an HDMI input.
[Android Apps and Games] jimihendrix2000:
I’m using a Zidoo 9xs, running android 6. It’s a bit of an oddball because it has an HDMI input as well.
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
That might be the issue since it's such an odd box running a really old version of Android.
[Android Apps and Games] jimihendrix2000:
Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. I’m still grateful for this thread. The limited functionality that I get is much better than zero functionality. Is there anything that you would recommend that I try just for the heck of it?
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@jimihendrix2000 Your best and cheapest bet is probably to pick up one of those Onn Android boxes from Wal-Mart. They are usually $15-$20 and are heck of a deal.
[Android Apps and Games] jimihendrix2000:
Fair enough. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Not sure if you tried it....but navigating and selecting channel after things load up might help....my 1st android tv experience was with a old MiBox....and it would crash often .....slowing down navigation through the app seemed to help.....i eventually moved on to the shield tv pro.

***app supports back to android 5....so it's probably more of a processing power issue than version compatibility
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Hey there, so it seems like i have successfully modded the version you posted. It's working on my end...can anyone else give it a test.
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
I will test on my Shield TV and let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
Sadly It will not install.

But Thanks for trying :)
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Did you uninstall the old version (as well as the icon addon)?

I've always needed to remove both
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
No I just made sure the current version was not running.

I never have needed to completely uninstall the older version and icon addon in order to install the newer ones.
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Weird...I've always had too...(main reason i didn't always install the updates, due to having to sign back in again....kinda a pain, have to whip out my mouse.....whole process takes maybe 2 min....but i hate it lol!)

Weird....not sure why that would be....I'd guess at least this time around the signatures aren't matching maybe due to use of different recompile/recompile software.....not sure though.

****edit....just realized using the Shield TV app on my phone i can use the trackpad (mouse) remote instead of digging out my BT mouse i use with my shield (rarely) making signing back into the app not so bad.
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
I used ApkTool M on my note 10+

I decompiled the apk and did the switch from 0x1 to 0x0 at line 138 (after many other attempts and reverting those non-working changes and testing till it worked)

And recompiled the "project" using the aapt2 option.

Btw I'm basically clueless at this....I've done such mods in the past from guides...never tried blind to this extent
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
Good News :)

I uninstalled the old app and also icon like you said to do and I was able to install your modded one just fine.

Seems to be working good so far.

Big Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Not sure how recently it was added, but the "windowed video" is working....just haven't figured out how to get back into the "windowed video" to maximize it...probably requires touch/mouse interaction

***edit...looks like the way back to maximized video is to select the channel from the list again or a different channel. It's picture in picture mode so works minimized on home screen etc
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Thank you for confirming it !!

Glad to add to the thread, this thread and the dev thread with the user getting root for the shield with Ui Upscaling are my favorites....the user knowledge sharing takes me back to the better days of xda
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
So you did a fantastic job :)

It has been running perfect for several hours.

So I guess you will explain how you fixed it to ytsejam1138 so he can continue to update it in the future?

Thanks again to you and of course ytsejam1138 for these important updates!!!

You guys rock!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Thanks again....and yes a few posts up (#1754) i detailed the software and edit point/change....however I'm available to clarify if any questions arise 👍😎
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
Do you know what that little icon is at the top right is during videos?

You can't seem to highlight it to click on.
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
You can highlight it by first navigating to the "back to channel guide arrow at the top Left, then press the remote key to the right and it will be highlighted.

The button is to activate the Picture in Picture function.

A few posts up i describe a bit how I've found to use it (maximize after being minimized).
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
It seems a bit bugged, for instance once you switch to PiP mode and then (click on the channel in guide to maximize again) it seems like pressing the Back arrow on the remote doesn't work to take you back to the channel guide....I've had to tweak it a bit to get back to guide...or just force close the app.

Overall it's a pretty cool feature....this app used to do that waaaayy back....you could have the PiP open while browsing the channel guide and a pop out window so you can respond to a text etc
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Also it won't look highlighted...but if you're positioned at the "back" arrow (Top Left of screen) and click the remote to the right and click it will click the icon
[Android Apps and Games] gate1975mlm:
That's another thing I can not seem to highlight the "back" arrow lol

I also learned while watching a video if you click the home button it sends it to PIP. But as you said it's buggy and when going back to full screen the back button will not work at all. And so you need to restart the app lol

O well better then nothing right :)

I am just happy I have access to all my channels and in HD too on my Shield TV.

I know Comcast earlier this year released the "official" xfinity stream app on Apple TV and a few other devices.

I assume the official app is a lot better then our modded ones especially when running on fast devices like Apple TV.

With luck someday soon Comcast will finally do the right thing and release the official app for Shield TV and other Android TV devices.

Until then thank my lucky stars for you guys :)
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
Hmm interesting.....for me, three UP presses on the remote takes me up to & highlights the Back arrow.

The 1st up press highlights the Captions menu, 2nd press the Stop button and 3rd press the Back arrow....it's a faint highlight, hard to notice sometimes
[Android Apps and Games] shinobisoft:
Even modded, this is still an "official" app. They're changing 1 byte, might be 4 bytes as an integer is 4 bytes, to bypass the HDMI restriction.

It's almost impossible to decompile back to raw java code, especially with the tools being used. Although I'm pretty sure it can be done...
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@louforgiveno Thank you so much for figuring this out. I've also found that APK Editor Studio was the problem on my end. I tried a few different different APK tools on my Windows desktop and finally found one that would compile the APK that I was able to install on my Nvidia Shield, APK Tool GUI. I also didn't need to uninstall the icon, just the app when installing.

I think what he is saying is it would be nice to have the app officially for the shield (available in playstore). Because this app currently is optimized for touch input more so than remote control navigation...and their could be further optimization to app loading speed/scrolling etc if it were to be officially tailored for the shield as it sounds like has been done for apple tv boxes

Thank You...1000% Working. Called Uncle Kiver in Michigan told him I need a Comcast Email. He gave me an email account and password. Now I have HD TV on all TVs with Cheap China Android TV Boxes.

You have to have some friend, relative someplace that has Xfinity/Comcast. Just tell them that yu are having email problems and can the help you out with an email address. You get an email address and password and you watch Killer HD TV.

BTW! Every Xfinity customer/ Comcast get 10 email addresses free. Let them know this should make it easier. and tell them that you have NO ACCESS To their account Just email.

You will only have access to your email and this MODEDAPK that works killer.

I have had 10 to 15 friends that I have shared this with all 100% WORKING.

One interesting outcome from using this modded apk is my picture quality has dropped. I'm abroad and running it through a vpn so speeds are bound to suffer but this is happening with 3-5mbps+ speeds which should be good enough for sd at least. When I run the same live shows through the dedicated apps for NBCSN, CNN etc I don't have any problems. Could it just be Comcasts servers suck?
