I am really trying to get Xfinity TV Go to work on my NP. I have tried the one from the play store as well as the Leanback Launcher one that is out there. All of them crash and say "Unfortunatley, TV Go has stopped" when I try and play a video or watch a live stream. I tried an older version of the app last night and it loaded video, just no sound. Does anyone have any success with this? I know others have said theirs work.
[Q] Does anyone have Xfinity TV Go working?
- Thread starter ms00012
- Start date
I've got Comcast so I can try this out, but it will be later tonight or tomorrow before I'll have time to play around with it.

Thanks! Just let me know. I am very frustrated with it since ESPN works flawlessly for me.
I have the same problem as you, the app sideloads and opens just fine, but when I go to play any video it crashes back to its home screen.
I did notice an update is available but i haven't tried it yet

I managed to get a version to work. I had to extract the apk (unzip), remove the lib/x86 folder, re-zip, and sign.
Since when you sign, it will be with a different key, you will have to uninstall the current installed version first.
Either use adb uninstall com.xfinity.playnow
or, if you have root and want to keep the data, adb root; adb shell pm uninstall -k com.xfinity.playnow
Then install this:

I am going to try this when I get home. So can I not just uninstall the current xfinity tv go the normal way and install yours?
I tested out the app last night and it works! You are a genius! I did notice that the 3 dot menu does not work, so you can't watch live channels or search for anything that is not on the main menu. Android broke that functionality in 5.1. I then downgraded to 5.0 and it worked perfectly. I did not root my NP and when I woke up it had updated to 5.1.1. I may have to downgrade again and root so it does not change.
My question for you. Do you know a way to use the 3 dot menu in 5.1.1 in general? BC it wrecked tons of apps we sideloaded. Also, since you are good at altering an app, would it be easy to alter the xfinity app to allow the 3 dot menu?
Can you edit the androidmanifest and make the app open to "networks" instead of featured? Or any other section in the context menu?
OMG it works!!! Ive been waiting for this day for months!
The MENU doesnt fully work yet like previous posts saying but there's hope

Here's a zip file which contains a copy of the working APK that ruZZ.il originally provided.

Mouse is required
The mouse is required to navigate through the app on Nexus Player - login and navigation.
And yes - no way to open menu or so ever. Basically you will be stuck on first 'Feature' page only.
In my case it was 'Must see', 'Thu Night TV' and 'Wed Night TV'.
Tried to play one of the available episodes - works perfectly fine.
I didn't try remote. But controller (gamepad) doesn't work at all.

Any thoughts on why this wouldn't work on Android X86? They are both Intel.
Got Live TV Working!
So I modified the apk and told it to launch to the live TV page instead of featured videos. APK Attached.

i have the regular Xfinity TV Go app working. With live tv and recorded shows. I get the full app menu. I'm running android 5.02 still on my ADT-1
The modified APKs in this thread do work on the Nexus Player which is an x86 device. Are you trying to use it on something else like a tablet?
Nice work. Was it easy or difficult to make the changes needed for this?
The ADT-1 uses a Tegra 4 SoC so it's an ARM device. If you update the operating system to Android 5.1 or higher, then some of your apps will lose the hamburger or 3 dot menu access.
Gabby It was actually really easy. Decompiled the apk, Edited the "\smali\com\xfinity\playerlib\view\launch\PlayerLaunchStrategy.smali" file. Replaced the two calls to the /featured/FeaturedActivity with /browseprograms/LiveStreamsActivity. Then recompiled and signed. (I did have to use the apk that you posted as a basepoint).
