Hi, thank you and happy new year!

I installed it . I was able to authorize the app(channel) however when I click on live tv , it hangs and does not load the channel guide. If I click "on demand" it crashes.

Note: I am using the 2018 version of the Roku Ultra

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or when you have an update you would like me to try
[Android Apps and Games] fyremaster:
Has anyone been able to figure out how to get around the 3322 security error that we run into on the Shield TV with the latest 7.2.1 update?
[Android Apps and Games] arealcoolhand:
Is that the error saying you need to update? I got that when running one of the earlier modded APKs. I uninstalled it and installed the 5.0.0.044 APK and have no issue watching anything now. The only issue with that APK is it's not really usable without a mouse. I just use the mouse function on the Shield TV app.
[Android Apps and Games] fyremaster:
Yes it is the error saying to check for an updated version. The 5.0.0.044 APK does work but as you said, without leanback it's requires a mouse. Really hoping we could have a working leanback version that works on the new Shield software
[Android Apps and Games] timmyhorton:
I have the Roku Stick + . I can log in with a non home account and navigate around all the menu items. It just won't play. The error message is something like something is wrong, try again later.

I found out when authorize the account for Xfinity app in Roku, mod or un mod, I cannot use my cell phone, I have to use a computer.
[Android Apps and Games] AcuraKidd:
What is leanback?

[Android Apps and Games] Ramestin:
There has been many minor updates to the app that has improved streaming significantly on the phone and tablet. So I can only assume it will also improve the streaming on android boxes. Can you please HDMI mod the latest version Steam apk 5.1.4.002.apk. The link of the apk is down below.

https://uploadfiles.io/5obq1

Thanks alot.
[Android Apps and Games] Markeee:
Is this a brand new update?

Do you know if this works with Nvidia Shield ?

This hasn't been modded yet ?
[Android Apps and Games] Ramestin:
It is the newest update.

It should work with Nvidia Shield once it is moded.

It ha NOT been moded yet.

I hope we get a mod soon.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffATL:
I have this on my phone. I still wish there was a way to change channels while watching live tv like there is in Roku with miniguide
[Android Apps and Games] Ramestin:
Mobile versions of the app won't have a guide as they were meant for tablets and phones but I agree that it will be awesome to have a mini guide.

For now. I just wish we can get the newest mobile apk moded as the newest version seems to be solid stable when streaming compared to previous versions.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffATL:
Does tablet and mobile versions work the same? No mini guide on tablet either ?

I'm actually paying for Xfinity Instant TV as OTA sucks. Compared with internet only its cheap but the broadcast fees and taxes makes it feel that I deserve something more than beta. The Roku app is great except no option to pause live tv , same with Samsung Smart TV app, the Smart TV app also lacks the Favorites option.

Dont understand why I cant have a working app with both the ability to pause and a mini guide

Sorry for the rant....

Has anyone had success to use the browser based stream app on an Amazon Fire TV ?
[Android Apps and Games] Ramestin:
Tablet and mobile Xfinity stream versions are the same. They have no mini guide.

---------- Post added at 04:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

Could you please mod the latest XfinitySteam apk 5.1.4.002.apk. This version is very smooth and improved streaming alot. The link of the apk is down below.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffATL:
Hi. Any changes to the Roku app? What would be differences in your version versus the official beta?
[Android Apps and Games] aiemassfiria:
My modded version can signin Outside-home. But still error on playback.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffATL:
Is there anyway to mod it so that pause live tv works as it works on the android mod? The workaround is to record the show and watch the recording but that is cumbersome. I am guessing that would be a difficult mod, on the xfinity forum they claim the Roku has no buffer, yet NBC app for example can pause its own tv. I think the Xfinity Roku developers could easily implement it as all they would have to do is treat each live viewing as a temp recording

It sucks that each version has an essential feature I want but neither has both- the Roku and Samsung versions have the mini guide and the Android version has the pause live tv. The Samsung also lacks "Favorites"
[Android Apps and Games] atlkidz:
Thank but is this version firestick friendly?
[Android Apps and Games] Ramestin:
You can use the xfinity app on your firestick but you will still need a mouse to select live TV the first time. However, once you have selected live channels menu, you can use the remote control to scroll up and down through the channels. On demand on the other hand needs the mouse more often.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffATL:
So many options for working mouse on AFTV, suggestions for mouse/keyboard, Logitech K830 illuminated keyboard mouse combo that goes on sale for <$45 (create an alert on Slickdeals) or if you have a regular Fire or add an otg cable and use something like this https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Bluetoot...7&sr=8-23&keywords=rii+mini+wireless+keyboard or you can use or you can use mobile app
[Android Apps and Games] alero5752:
I tried this apk on my Shield TV, does not work. Which one works for Shield TV? I'd be fine using a mouse to control. I was reading though the last few pages, but I'm still confused as to which version to use. Pardon my ignorance.
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
v5.1.5.014 works fine on my 2017 16GB Shield (7.2.2) using a mouse of course.
[Android Apps and Games] radli2202:
That's interesting
[Android Apps and Games] Blaiser47:
Just in case some are not aware, if using a non leanback version, I suggest this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fluxii.androidtv.mousetoggle which allows you to use your remote as a mouse. Doesn't work for every device but works for more than listed. Found this post https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/android-tv/tip-of-the-day-mouse-toggle/td-p/2406029 so tried it on my Sony and it works perfect! All works well with latest mod posted a few pages back. Paired with tv app repo https://github.com/ITVlab/TvAppRepo/releases/tag/1.1.4 and it's fairly seamless to use.
[Android Apps and Games] ajwongy:
Thanks! confirm this works the Nvidia Shield with 7.22 upgrade, it would be great if there could be an updated Shaw Freerange Leanback version. Hopefully someone will come up with an update. I'll be forever grateful.

Hi - v5.1.5.014 works great with KDLinks A400 android box and Samsung Galaxy Tab A
[Android Apps and Games] Noiziv:
I installed v5.1.5.014 on my NVIDIA Shield TV (2017) and after logging in get the following error:

“The webpage at login.xfinity.com/login could not be loaded because:

net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME”

What do I need to do?
[Android Apps and Games] Noiziv:
Anyone know of a working Xfinity Stream version for the Nvidia Shield TV 2017?

EDIT: I got it! Just download Puffin TV Browser, and then launch the Xfinity Stream app. The error was due to not having a browser to properly login to your account. It’s working now!

Rogers Ignite TV (xfinity similiar version for canada)

Not tested yet. Didnt have account.

[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
I asked similar thing a while back, no response. I found hdmi restrictions are removed (works for smart TV boxes) but second screen restrictions still exist. I'm not skilled enough to mod but I might try at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Any change of Shaw FreeRange app for Canada? Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
Newest mod works great w/ my generic Android TV box. Before this mod, there was a workaround, but it required disconnecting the HDMI cable from the box and viewing the channels through the box's analog video output into the TV. Obviously, the picture wasn't as good. Thanks so much for your work!!

Is there some way the app could be modified so one can watch network channels (CBS, NBC, etc.) from elsewhere? I'm using a friend's comcast account, and I can watch all the cable-only channels, but the app requires home wi-fi access to watch the network channels. If such a mod is possible, it would be even better if such access could be done via a wired network connection in addition to wireless.
[Android Apps and Games] aiemassfiria:
Already modded before.

Which Xfinity Stream version did you use? Also are you running the latest SHIELD EXPERIENCE UPGRADE 7.2? That upgrade is what initially broke my Stream app, hasn't worked since. I tried every version I could find here, but I will try using the web browser method you mentioned.
[Android Apps and Games] Noiziv:
I used the v5.1.5.014 that was posted a couple of pages back. I am fully updated to the newest Shield Experience, which I believe is 7.2. I uninstalled all previous versions of Xfinity Stream, installed v5.1.5.014, and then downloaded Puffin TV Browser. When you launch Xfinity Stream, it’ll ask if you want to open the browser using Puffin, and at that time you will select it. Login as you normally would (it’ll be via the Puffin browser) and it’ll take you right back to the Xfinity Stream app.

Hope it goes well for you!

All of a sudden I am getting the unknown protocol error when trying to login. I thought that only happened when sideloading an unmodded apk. I think maybe fix is to use Edge instead of FF

Yep, FF does not work as a browser to login, sideloaded Edge worked

Question Remapping Remote Codes

I know i am barking up the wrong tree, as my question is not related to this thread, but i think many who follow or even the owner of this thread may have some info on what to do. So here is my question.

I found an old Shield TV app that does not break when sideloaded to my tv box. All the newer apps detect my device is not compatible or is made for Oreo, which i am not running.

So is it possible to key map using Tincore keymapper, on the box, to intercept key codes and push shield tv remote equivalent to the app, or is there an app for android that can mimic shield tv codes from standard key codes?

Other than that, how hard is it to reverse engineer the app to use touch or standard key codes?

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

I use stand alone apps for that. Most phone tv streaming apps will automatically login using xfinity stream account when already setup. Though there are a number of Android tv apps that are compatible to standard android box setups. Though NBC, Fox Now, FX Now, ESPN, and ABC iView will not run on standard android anymore since their late updates of last year.

I have a simple mod to make your standard android into fake Android TV without effecting function. I use smanager to swap between fake Android TV and standard android and reboot before using the streaming apps. The kicker is you need an ATV compatible launcher to run the ATV apps. I use Tvlauncher as it shows up kn standard app drawers and is small enough not to effect switching between launchers if in ATV mode for extened times.

The only issue with fake ATV is that it does not allow proper screen layout with older apps or apps using screen call routines based on Android 2.1. So, Ti Backup and some xposed apps will not have full functions, as the screen layout is limited.

That is why i toggle between usage.

The trick is to add a few permissions .xml files and make a modified permissions file for phone or tablet to include <feature name="android.software.live_tv" />

The two missing xml files are... com.google.android.tv.installed and com.google.android.tv.v1

They have no effect on the device if reverting back to original phone or tabet xml file. The main part is within the edited phone or tablet xml file.

You may need to drop a few other files in the system priv-app folder with 644 permissions, as Pluto TV will not operate in live channels and NBC may not operate.

The folders are

TV

RecomondationsService

Overscan

They can be found in some ATV ota zip files made by developers, EyeTv for one.

Ok, i almost have Shield TV apps working with Air Mouse remote controls with full keyboard.

I found some headway... but not clear on how it works as of yet. This app is a bit complex, and i am clueless on how to keep the config to stick.

The good news is, on a full keyboard air mouse you can use the enter key to make your selections. So once you move the mouse to a particular area, the enter key will used to select it, rather than the select key on the Dpad.

Trouble is I cannot figure out how to make the keyboard pop up for search and most important user account information for logins. Other than that, The older Shield TV apps will work just fine on our ATV enabled boxes.

Now I will search for more Shield TV steaming apps that are not available on google atv apps store. Hopefully I will find NBC Sports, My5, ITV and SBS OnDemand.* The only thing needed for the Shield TV apps to function, is to get keyboard entry to function using the Tincore keyboard mapper app.*
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
I tried a few, but they're either real buggy or they won't allow live viewing.
[Android Apps and Games] gooberdude:
Which ones in particular... most of mine have live streaming. Some dont show live streming, but when the programme starts, it is populated in the view list... HBO Go and CTV for example.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Use the Fitzy app. It takes all the network live streams that require a cable login and organizes them into 1 app formatted like a TV guide. It's great but sometimes the "requires authentication" part can be a little buggy. And Viacom channels won't accept Comcast logins even though we get the channels.
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
Thanks for the suggestions, but none of them worked:

I tried Fitzy. On my generic Android TV Box, I can't get past the first screen - it won't allow me to create an account or even log in via Facebook.

My initial post was about watching over-the-air stations (cable-only channels work fine). So I tried the apps for the individual networks. The CBS app installed, but it allowed me to go no further than the opening screen - I couldn't even log in to my cable provider. NBC would not allow live viewing. PBS doesn't offer live viewing. I gave up on ABC and have no interest in FOX.

As noted before, the Xfinity mod works great for me, and if there was some way it could allow viewing of local channels outside one's in-home network, I would have no need for any other TV viewing app.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Try creating a fitzy account on your phone - install the app on phone. Then sign in on Android TV with it. After you create an account, you should get an email to also try something called local cast or something like that for Ota channels. You can add that to your fitzy channels.
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
Creating a fitzy account on my phone worked - thanks.

But on Fitzy I get only NYC stations, PBS isn't offered, and CBS won't offer streaming due to my specific my cable provider (the same thing happens with the CBS app).

So, all I get via Fitzy that I can't get thru Xfinity app is NBC and ABC. I'm not in a localcast area - I tried fooling it via a VPN address from a city they offer service to, but it didn't work.

It would be nice if all of this could happen through the one Xfinity app.
[Android Apps and Games] gooberdude:
Well, untill the end of 2017 i used xfinity app for everything, since my only tv needs were met via tablet, using hdmi or miracast. Once i got my first tv box in 2018 i started using ATV apps that were phone friendly. I noticed xfinity stream tv app was redone completely and replaced with what we use now, which is the worst. You could probably take an old 2017 xfinity app and hack it, not to force an upgrade, and use it without any special hacks to use HDMI.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
https://www.locast.org - create that account too and add it to fitzy. That's how I got my local channels
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
I created a locast account, but see nothing on fitzy that allows me to add it.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
In the settings, you manage providers and add it there. It's in a left menu on Android TV or 3 dots in top right on phone.
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
When I go to "Providers", locast is not on their extensive list, and I can find no option to add an unlisted provider.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Try to search? I have it on mine. See the top.
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
I entered "locast" and "locast.org" and came up w/ nothing.

The search line's purpose seems only to quickly access selections from fitzy's pre-existing list.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
That's very strange. Maybe it got removed. I'd ask the developer about it
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
I tried earlier releases as well, and no luck. A couple of questions:

1) What version of fitzy are you using?

2) Do you live in a city that's natively supported by locast?
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Fitzy version 2.5 and yes, locast is supported in my location.
[Android Apps and Games] jamaroney:
The problem may be that locast is not supported in my location (as noted in an earlier post on this thread), although I don't know why it wouldn't even appear in the list of providers, since fitzy wouldn't know that beforehand.
[Android Apps and Games] Sharon TLV:
Any way you can extract the xfinity app from Roku stick and make a mod that work with Android TV?
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Roku and Android are entirely different operating systems. Their software is not compatible. It like trying to make a Windows application run on Linux or Mac. Just won't happen.

Nvidia Shield 7.2.2

Has anyone managed a working version of the Shaw FreeRange app on the new shield updates?

Since the 7.2.2 upgrade you cannot login to the app unless you have Shaw Freerange 5.0 or newer.

The last versions posted at 4.X and do not work.

Saw this and thought I could finally have all my paid for canadian services on my Shield TV (Youtube Premium, Netflix, Crave TV, Amazon Prime, Rogers Ignite TV), but...

I have mi box (not s). The video quality is poor using mod xfinity app. Other apps seemed to be fine. Found any fix for that?
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Yeah... Just use FitzyTV. You create a free account and add Xfinity as a provider and you get a lot of channels streaming without work around or nodded, buggy apps.
[Android Apps and Games] timmyhorton:
Thank you. FitzyTV worked well with mi box. One big issue I had was how to change the xfinity TV account. Since I use xfinity internet, I think it default to my TV account. I could not figure a way to switch to a different account. Finally I tethered the mi box to my cell phone mobile hotspot. Once I signed in, I was able to switch back to the xfinity internet account and use the alternate TV account.
[Android Apps and Games] urbanman2004:

[Android Apps and Games] timmyhorton:
I was using the latest? v5.1.5.014. But I think Fitzytv is a better solution. I can get local channels on account "away from home". Also no need to use mouse. Just the mi box remote is sufficient.

Oh I see, fair enough.

[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
I don't know. Not the developer. But isn't there an Xfinity app for Roku already?
[Android Apps and Games] timmyhorton:
Xfinity app for Roku is for home use only. You cannot use it when you are away from your home internet.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Interesting... but typical of Comcast. I have seen people mention around the web a modded Roku app, but not sure what's modded or how to add it (don't have a Roku). And if you're savvy enough, you can try spoofing your mac address in the away from home location to resemble the home modem. That's usually how they identify if you're home or not. Sometimes it's IP address too.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffATL:
There is but I do not love it. In addition, I can use a different cable provider with Fitzy and get different channels.
[Android Apps and Games] EdrickMG:
Awesome app xfinity TV working on my android box please keep app updated, that's awesome
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
If you are savvy and know how to setup a home VPN, one can also VPN into your own home remotely and then use the Xfinity app, since your device is now part of your home network. That's what I do.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
Thanks so much for this. Fitzy is working perfectly in full hd with Xfinity. I've been suffering with poor quality streams up until now. :good:

P.S. Not all the channels are available but there's a good selection and most of the ones I watch anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Yeah, you won't get all channels. Fitzy just consolidates every live stream of TV Everywhere stations - basically, every channel that has its own app to watch live but requires you to login with your cable account. Fitzy can't access Comcast's stuff to act as a 3rd party cable app.

Sign up for Locast too and add that to Fitzy. It's local channels (if your area is supported). But I read 1 person complain Locast only let's you watch 15 min at a time for free. I haven't had the chance to verify yet. But this will let you get local TV stations.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
Yeah Locast is only 15 minutes. Fitzy gives me local NY stations when I input NJ on my VPN and Orlando when I put in Miami.
