I can seem to play videos through the website but the app isn't playing any video. When I sideloaded it for the first time it was functional though. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sideloading HBO Now should not be necessary. I installed it from the Google Play store and it works fine.

Hmmm, your completely right. I could have sworn I installed it via the Google Play store. One thing is for sure, it is working on my NP.
You may want to try this one (HBO NOW for Android TV) from APKMirror goo.gl/xrB1sp
Nevermind, just re-read your message and saw you tried the same version.
I can try to backup my version with ES Explorer, just not sure how to get it to you.

Man, I have been having issues with ES Explorer as well. I am using Mac and have been able to connect to the Player via FTP but it will not let me drag and drop APKs into any folder on the Player. It opens up the Player files in Finder but when I drag the files over, it has that circle with a slash through it meaning it's being prevented somehow.
I'm not sure how I'm going to get any APK on to this thing. I thought the Player had a USB port that allowed sideloading from a flash drive but it seems like I'll need a microUSB adapter for that too.
It's been a frustrating $25 spent, I'll tell you that much.

So I went to update Google+, but no update showed up. I knew there was one I haden't installed yet, so I checked my list of apps and saw Google+ wasn't on there. I then searched for Google+ in the Market and it doesn't come up. I even went to the Google+ Mobile site and hit the Market link, and the page came up, but there was no install button.
I'm running GB Elelinux and I was able to install the old version from the Market fine, so I have no idea why it isn't working.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
Exact same issue and phone. Don't really know what the actual restriction is. Would be nice to find out.
Have you checked your market settings? Maybe cos Google + is age restricted and your settings not set to show all apps ? Just a thought...

My age restriction thing is set to show all apps.
Unfortunately I have the same phone and same issue.
I have Google+ 1.0.6 installed but there is no update showing in the marketplace and the Android Market desktop site says that the 1.0.7 version is not compatible.

OK, I've not tried the one in the link but a mate sent me his APK for version 1.0.7 and it works fine.
If the download in that link is legit, it should work fine.
The Hero lives another day!
Interesting to see EVO 3D owners having the issue as well, it seems like a general Android problem as opposed to a "having a phone that's too old" problem.
I'll try the APK if I still can't get it from the Market after updating my ROM
2.0 from apk working fine aswell.

Hello,
I have the same issue.
I don't know if it's tied but once I tried VE 6.1 at dpi 140, and it worked.
What is your dpi?
and tell us if it works.
Thanks.
Don't use Google+ that often since its release, Twitter and Facebook are enough for me
I am having issues with downloading apps because every time I try to download an app on the play store it gives me this message when it starts to install. Is anyone else having this issue? And if so what have you done to fix it? I have searched this out and there really hasn't been much as far as results on answers that worked. I am rooted on MF3 and just recently in the last couple days started having this issue.

Yea I did that as well. No go. I am starting to think this is something to do with the play store as well. It can't be my phone if lots of other people are experiencing the same exact issue at the same time.

I have even tried to call google to ask them about the issue from two different phones and each time they couldn't hear me but I could hear them. Maybe somebody else could try contacting them about this issue? My mom's phone also has the "Package file is invalid" both on mobile data and wifi.
No issues here... just installed Torque free via web site on a desktop PC and Fancy via Play store app, over wifi.

Can't get NBA Jam to run either. Would love to play that game.
I have been trying many different ways now to get Sky Go working on the AFTV and gave up in the end. However sky updated the app to 4.1.3 yesterday which states it will work on all android devices above 4.0.
I update the app on my phone, used another app to extract the apk then used adbfire to install the app on the AFTV...it now works perfectly.
You will need a mouse or keyboard with mouse to use it as the aftv remote doesnt work, yo h also need to ensure you have a UK IP. I had a DNS setup for XBMC so have that setup on wired and then UK ip on the wirless
I cant get this to work. Ive logged in, but when i go to play a stream, I get the error message that Sky Go does not support Miracast. Im running the latest version of Fire TV, and I believe Miracast was added in one of these updates. Are you running the latest version of Fire TV? Also, I am not rooted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Can you explain what it is you are trying to do?
What i did is install the .apk file with adbfire (im on mac) and then Sky Go shows in the applications list. I just launch the app and then once logged in it works fine.
You need to ensure you are using v4.1.3 of Sky Go else it wont work
Im doing the same as you. I have the latest skygo app. I just get the error message about miracast. Are you running the latest Fire TV software with miracast? (Im not using miracast, but the app is coming up with this error presumably because the Fire TV has this functionality)
The old skygo app didnt let you log in as it said the device was not compatible. The new app lets me log in, but wont let me play streams
How are you guys hiding your root as I get the error Sky Go is not supported on rooted android devices?
Finally got it working by resetting my Fire TV - strange problem! Thanks trenty12
I don't have root so don't need to hide it
The NOWTV app also works with a USB mouse connected
I used the same method for installing kodi to get the app to show in my recent list and changed the ikono icon to that of NOWTV's
Nice to get skys channels on the fire tv
Any idea how to get this to work on a rooted AFTV without using Hide my Root? I haven't tried it but with Hide my Root I think the only way to get it to work is uninstall the SU App and then reinstall when you are finished with Sky Go. That feels a bit risky to me and also is really a root removal rather than cloak...
Might just be worth un-rooting my second Fire TV to get Sky Sports and Movies in the spare room then
I just unrooted mine to get it working, didn't really ever take advantage of the root anyway. It is now working great on both the Fire TV and Fire Stick.
Can you share the APK?
Regards
Dave

I'm on a Mac, so what I did was right click on the adbfire app and go into it's contents, navigated to the kodi icons directory and replaced the icons with the NOWTV icons.
Opened up adbfire and selected to replace the ikono icons with NOWTV's/kodi's.
Hope that helps

I tried it with the iTV fire apps and the Amazon video app and got them to work by basically looking at the dependent amazon apps and installing them as well. If I had a fire still I'd give it a go but alas I don't.
Ok, so I was able to extract the Fire TV .apk file and sideload onto my Nvidia Shield TV. I was able to open it and navigate using the standard Shield remote. The only issue I am having is playing live TV content. Sometimes it loaded fine and other times it gives me an error and telling me to Refresh the content. Seems to be very buggy for Android TV. Here is a link to the extracted .apk file. I would like to see what you guys get trying this out.

Well I installed the Amazon app store too on my Sony TV since the Vue app was asking for it and I still kept getting that device compatibility error. Of course there's now an Android TV app did the Vue though.
*I wanted to add that maybe my devices aren't rooted so I don't have any means to turn device compatibility check off like I do with my 6P.

I installed it and got error 40 which I got on my tablet because it's rooted. I assumed it was due to root so I disabled super su and tried again. This time ESPN started right up but video was choppy. I try other channels and get error 40 again. Are you rooted? If so can someone without root try? I don't want to unroot to try it but will I have to. I hate having to switch inputs to my fire tv box to watch live tv.
I got it installed on my unroofed shield tv. Similar behavior with the errors on some channels. I'm having better luck using the streams from the what's on now section

From what I have seen that error 40 if it followed by something like 1005 means it has detected root.
I was able to load a version of the amazon fire app onto my shield last night. The remote works, same interface as my fire stick down stairs.
I got TBS to stream, but then had no other luck and gave up. The error I got was telling me to refresh, I don't remember the code it was almost 2am.
My phone Pixel XL that is rooted is giving the error 40 and I did look into that some, seems to be because of root. I don't THINK I rooted my Shield TV. Pretty sure I never did. Never had a reason to want to.
Some of these errors were due to what I believe to be service overload. They are admitting to an "overwhelming demand" It was not loading channels consistently on my PC at work yesterday 5PM EST yesterday and was also messing up when I got home to try it on the Fire Stick. This got a lot better by 11PM EST last night and I am told that it is working great today from the Amazon Fire Stick, I have not been home to try it yet.
With all of that said it has been hard to tell which errors were because we are trying to sideload the app and which are service errors in general that have nothing to do with the device we are trying to use...
Side note is there a thread just about the DirecTV Now app? Would love to figure out how to bypass this root detection so I can use it from my phone.

I have this loaded to my google drive to try on my shield tonight.
The Amazon App does not seem to have the VOD content that the phone app does. Im hoping this is the phone app, but that also sounds like you need a mouse to make it work well. (remote issues)
Purchased one of the Adesso mouse/keyboard/remote thingys to try with the app and the shield.

No conclusive answers yet. Seems there is the Google + post about the app that is tweaked gonna try it soon.
Heya - I'm thinking about the Shield refresh. Currently use a K1 tablet as my pseudo-TV experience. I need DirecTV Now to work. So I guess things aren't looking optimistic yet and I should stick with the K1 for now? Is Android TV and the remote worth it?

Unfortunately I don't have the file. I downloaded it on my old phone and I didn't save a backup. I also wiped my Shield TV so I don't have it on there either. You aren't missing much because it was just the mobile app and it didn't work very well. I don't know what the hold up is with Directv Now and Android TV but if they don't get an app before my 3 months of prepaid service is up I'm cancelling and going back to PS Vue or Sling TV. I was having so many issues with it on my Apple TV that I just started using a free 2 month trial to Sling TV.
