Dolphin Browser with Jetpack turned ON Crashes for me, Dolphin Browser works OK when Jetpack is turned off
Anyone have this issues ? I am wondering if it has any relation to my FTV firmware version.
If Dolphin with Jetpack turned ON works for you, please let me know which FTV firmware version you are running. Thx

Has anyone checked if the "Flixster Video" app (NOT the "Movies by Flixster" app) works?

VUDU App Release Notes

10/8/2015
VUDU app for Android version 4.1.51
• Fixed crashing when holding tablets in portrait mode.
Also, if you had trouble with Chromecast, please try again!

10/8/2015
VUDU app for Android version 4.1.50

This sequel to the VUDU app is big. Like, Empire Strikes Back big. And it's even approved for one-handed use.
• Completely rebuilt and redesigned for a premium entertainment experience. We weren't kidding when we went up 3 versions.
• Faster, more responsive and more efficient. Choose two. Nah just kidding here. You get all three.
• New navigation menu, which you can find via the burger button. You can also filter and sort by date, genre, Tomatometer? is it just me or you hungry now?
• Auto-magic search suggestions to save you time. And find you some amazing gems. Did you know if you mis-type 'Hobbit' as 'Hobi', the first movie to come up is 'Hobo with a Shotgun'?? That movie is r-e-a-l.
• HD and HDX support (hallelujah!) for select newer, high end devices (Android Lollipop or higher required). So you not only want to upgrade your phone, you NEED to, right?
• Portrait mode for smartphones. We spent a lot of time creepily looking over the shoulders of people using smartphones to figure out how they hold and orient their phones, then used finger-tracking technology to heat-map accessible range of reach on various screen sizes and holding positions before presenting the case and design to the engineering team who then told us they already built it over weekend. Thanks guys.

***Got Dessert?***
You'll need to be on Android Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop or Marshmallow to upgrade.

***Got Downloads?***
We're also using a slick new video format, so if you had any movies and TV shows downloaded to previous versions of the VUDU app, you;ll need to re-download after upgrading. Sorry for the hassle, but we promise it's worth it!

Can someone check if the tablet version of the app can be sideloaded on the Fire TV & Fire TV stick & can be operated with just the remote?

Anyone were able to get the dish TV app working

 

[theandrewgordon]

I got Cox Contour 2 working on my fire tv. The security issue is caused by newer apk versions. I installed 1.2.1.006 apk and used a mouse to select a show, good to go.

Update... It's here on my dropbox, feel free to mirror.

web cam for fire tv

Hello All,

I am wondering has anyone successfully sideloaded Skype or any other voice/video chat software on Amazon FireTV and then connected a USB Camera with built in mic to start using the FireTV as a video/chat solution on the big screen. I am trying to see if this would be feasible. I would imagine the challenge would be around the drivers for the webcam (I am sure there are many smart people here) who can resolve that challenge. I would imagine such a solution would be another killer app for Amazon FireTV and would take another step towards a must have for any living room and taking the bite out of walled garden that Microsoft provides with xbox.

Thanks for the help.

Do you have a direct link to the version you cite? Looks like apkplz has updated the version at that link.
I'm trying to do the same thing.

Does not work for Fire TV 1 with rbox 5.2.4.1_r2 image .. VUDU installs and runs, However movie play only has volume and black screen (or still of the image where movie starts) trailers seem to work.
Also tried couple other versions ..
4.1.15.40985 - behaves similar to the one in dropbox here .. 4.1.13.38411
while
4.1.20.46605 gives a different error when starting a movie and does not play anything

Hoping FireTV 1 gets a version or some fix to make vudu work!

4.1.15.40985 worked for me on 5.2.4.1_r1 and when I upgraded to 5.2.4.1_r2. Also worked on 5.0.5 (gen1 box/stick). Troubles began for me with updates beyond that version.

Have you tried HDX movies? For me only trailers work which are in SD.
This is a gen1 box that was rooted when on OS3 (using towelroot I think) and then upgraded to OS5 5.0.5.x and then upgraded again to 5.2.4.1_r2. Other than sideloading this app, have you done anything else on the gen1 box? like gapps install?
Thanks

I think the vudu app is actually playing the movies in SD instead of HDX. Trailers, purchased movies, free movies, etc. Have xposed framework/modules and gapps installed on my 5.0.5, but I think it was a mix of the phone gapps with the android tv store. Still need to try, but the proper way (in theory) would be to use the TV gapps instead. I think parts of this thread mention how that could work:

VPN Unlimited works pretty well. I had the standard version loaded with APP2FIre and also downloaded the google service-free version with the download app here: https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/en/downloads/android

Occasionally I have to start it twice. I turn in on manually before I use Kodi and turn it off afterward or Netflix complains.

Amazing... I've been trying to get functional and navigable HDX Vudu on my FireTv Stick for months. This apk did the trick once I sideloaded it. Thanks a million!
