Also working for me on stock 6.0. Thanks, sytanek !!

Any chance you can get the "on demand" part working too?
May be he can edit it to install under a different package name that way two versions of the app are installed one for live tv and one for on demand.

Neat trick I discovered - You can use the remote to select which channel to watch. Just remember how many times you click down to a row and how many times you press left or right and you can select the channel you want to watch. So suppose you want to watch CNN click down once and click right 3 times. Although it you don't visually see you are selecting an item it will be selected.

I suspect that it isn't currently possible to have both the on demand and live pages accessible at the same time. You can use the original version of the app from Google Play to access on demand content or use sytanek's modified version for live TV but I don't think you can have both installed at the same time (unless the package name is also modified as suggested in post #44 by morphfxf).

Does that trick work for the menu button too?

I can try to get a build setup on my laptop at home today to build two different packages. Normally I build on my work laptop which i don't currently have. There is no way I know of to get the side menu working, sorry not a dev at all, just got lucky on a hack for this. I always use the remote for picking channels...lol. Glad this is working for you guys on 6.0, means I can re update both of my players now. :)


Edit: Changing the package name alone doesn't appear to be working....any ideas?

After the package name is changed, does the app still try to install to the same app directory and app data directory as the original APK? This information can be viewed using the "app info" function of Lucky Patcher.

unfortunately its not working on a fresh install of lollirock 6.0 v1.1 for me. it goes back to the channels screen after acquiring playback license.
I've never used lollirock but in the system permissions menu, does it have the advanced menu with an extra item for system access similar to the way phones do?

Anyway to get the other xfinity tv app working?
No not the xfinity tv go app....the xfinity tv app that if you are on the same WiFi as your cable box you can basically use the app as a virtual cable box in another room. I am able to load the app up, it buffers then goes right back to the android home screen, any one have any luck or similar situation with this app?

So I have been using the live TV app, and its working great! But I was wondering if anyone has been able to get the on demand part of the app working?

Anyone who wants Xfinity TV2go with live, on demand working and the menu buton working
should downgrade to Lollipop prior 5.1 (I installed LRX21V)

Follow the instruction from
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
Unlock your bootloader and at the end do not lock back your bootloader
instead install twrp and root it.

Use any root explorer (I use es file explorer)
make/mount the system as RW
Go to system/etc/security
rename otacerts.zip into otacerts.zip.bak (This will block the any OTA update)
Sideload the latest Xfinity TV2GO from play store.

I have been using it without modification and live channel, on demand and menu selection working fine.

The thing that sucks about that is that prior to 5.1, there was a compatibility issue between the nexus player and my Vizio P Series 4K TV, which caused there to be no audio at all.
Such a crappy perfect storm right there. Especially since I just got unlimited data through xfinity, and would stream the days away.
