No More jetVD-YouTube Downloader :mad:

Looks like they took jetVD off the Android Market. I just installed a new rom and didn't backup that app. If anybody has the latest v0.9.8 apk can you please please pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase upload.

There are more places to look for app's than just the Market. I'll see if I can find something.
Not sure what version it is, or if it is infected in any way shape or form, but here is a working download:
http://www.4shared.com/file/vbUs9Glk/jetVD.html
Edit: version 0.9.4.
works okay for me

Some ROMS have problems with missing apps from the market. It has to do with the build.prop file. One way to get these apps is to use appbrain and fast web installer to send it to your phone. The app still exists: http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=jetvd

No apps found for "jetvd"
I am getting irritated by Google removing the apps that grab youtube videos.
Anyone has the latest version of apk and would you share it please?
EDIT: I finally managed to grab it from the 4shared link, tried like 10 times and it finally worked. Although it isn't the latest version (cannot choose where to save the videos).

Download Best tube off the market is free and its a youtube downloader and I have found every app that I've looked for....

Aren't there plenty of other apps that do the same thing?

Nope, name one that gives you the option to download youtube video in all available formats upto 720p?
Also finds videos the standard youtube app does not.

TubeMate works really well for me. It will save in multiple formats and in all available sizes. I use it to entertain my 2 year old with cartoon shorts.

Thanks for the app. But unfortunately the app will still work but the videos that are linked to YouTube is not available. Im Assuming that the jetvd team is undergoing a major update on the next version due to the script changes done in YouTube this past new years.

interesting. they seem to be developing even though they were yanked off of the market. however i cant read any of the links off of their twitter feed. on the computer or the phone.

version 0.9.13 is not working but the version attached to the first post is working fine

Version 1.0.1 will be out soon. I saw the release notes on their site. It will feature a new UI. We can view video comments and the option to view related videos as well as videos upload by the user.

I have 0.9.7 on my phone, from the Market, back when it was still there and it works 100% still.

1.0.1 is on the market!!

Sorry if this is late and after the fact...
JetVD is available on the market, but the lite version on the market will not allow you to download videos and save them. People in the comments section have advised to go to their website at jetvd.com and download it straight from there (using your mobile device). The Full version is free there, and will allow you to save your videos.

Is there a new jetvd or any other app that converts youtube videos to mp3?

I've been using TubeMate for a year or so, but it's not on the Market. Get it for free at m.tubemate.net.

Updated regularly.
Multiple video quality and video format options.
Downloading as mp3 supported.

If you use Firefox for a browser, there's an add-on that grabs videos. YouTube, Vimeo, etc

Yahoo Messenger with Video Chat

I know there have been a few threads on video chat and I apologize for making a new one; however I thought my post may get lost if I tried to post in older threads. Below are the APKs for both yahoo messenger and the video add on. I've tested this on my 101 and it works well. I did find out that if you have not updated to the latest firmware it does not work well. Enjoy!
Messenger

Video Add On
http://www.4shared.com/file/6daPSJf0/comyahoomobileclientandroidimv.html
If I find that an update is needed I will add the links as needed.

Does not work for me. Neither these files nor the files from the market. Video /Audio addon crashes always on the A 70.

Are u on the new firmware?

2.0.71 of course. Driver seemed to suck all CPU power...

Seems to work just fine, but is one heavy app. Between the chat and the plugin it is over 20mbs of space. Not sure how it affects battery life...

You can also download these from the market if you have it installed. I tested this today and it is the best so far. Fring and Tango still have a lot of bugs. The new Skype with Video is going to be Verizon only.. at least for this year. There is one more that just came out that might be better than Yahoo and that is ooVoo. It is in beta, but you can download it now from the market. I haven't tested it yet, but it sounds promising.
So if you have Archos.. best video chat so far I think is Yahoo and ooVoo.

Install latest youtube on FireOS 4.5.3 and be able to login WITHOUT ROOT(!!!)

I am running FireOS 4.5.3 on Fire HDX 7" and it is not (and never has been) rooted.
Settings > Applications > Apps from unknown sources is On
I have the file manager with zip support installed.
Uninstall any versions of the 5 apks mentioned below.
Download this zip file:
https://mega.co.nz/#!OItCnSSA!VqBqlbwUa3h5VR0bmIXmRVBq4UeYo5bhBmzmflml3Vk
Open or extract it and install the apks in this order:
account manager 4.0.3
framework 4.0.4
play services 7.3.29
playstore 4.3.10
youtube 10.16.53
Reboot the tablet.
Go to youtube and you should get that normal google account login screen.
Login and presto! There you have it latest youtube apk with sign in ability.
Hasn't crashed on me (yet), but play store does not work (I've tried a few versions).
Yes I am aware of that youtube app with the blue icon in the amazon app store but I wasn't satisfied with it.
I haven't tried any other google apps yet with this combo.
I really hope this works for others. I just spent the last 5-6 hours figuring this out and it's now nearly 2am.

works for me

Youtube works.
Not for playstore gmail.

Oh that's cool I'm glad it's worked for others.
I just wanted to give something back to this forum cause I've gone to it so many times myself.

Found a gmail apk that works

Don't want to burst your bubble, but someone already figured out how to get YouTube to work on unrooted devices (along with other Google apps): http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2954372

Yes true but that guy (at end of thread) is 4.5.2 and has to execute some kinda command I don't. Lemme have my glory! Lol

Thanks. Works for me. How about Chrome?

Chrome should work regardless of framework (at least it did last time I tried). If not try Opera. Same underlying engine (Chromium) with a different skin.

That command is for Google+ to work. It's not needed if you don't use G+. But at least you provided newer versions.

Is it just me, or does doing this break other apps? Skype won't work properly (no contacts or message history), TuneIn radio won't even get past the initial screen. Why is this happening? Sorry I'm new to this stuff.
I should add that uninstalling these packages then causes everything to work again, so it does seem to be causing it.

Installing Google framework/services/store/etc on Fire OS is always a crap shoot as Amazon has its own set of conflicting services. Many get it to work (at least partially) while others experience problems. Installing framework/services on an unrooted device presents additional challenges....but also adds a layer of safety as you can typically install/experiment/uninstall without serious consequences. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your current situation; responding to "why is this happening?". You'll probably get it to work eventually with help from others.

That makes sense. I did manage to get Skype 5.1 working but anything after that breaks. Must have added a new feature since then that gets into that services conflict you mention. No luck with TuneIn, though I found an alternative for that.

Any word on a working play store app? Wife got a Fire Tablet today on 4.5.3 and so far its unrootable and most google things arent working. Thinking about a new tablet at this point.

If your family is looking for unfettered access to the play store you should definitely look for another device. It will be awhile before alternative roms become available to newer Kindles and most play store implementations are hacks at best. While the hardware is wonderful you really have to be wed to the Amazon ecosystem to truly appreciate the device (or be fortunate enough to have an 'older' model that can be rooted/unlocked and run a Google friendly rom).

I appreciate the frank reply. I was able to set her up with Chrome and Gmail which were her main concerns. The 1Mobile 3rd party marketplace had any of the other apps she was looking for. I also finished moving all her books over so she's going to take it for a spin this weekend when we head to the beach for a night and see how it goes.

If you are comfortable with 1moble (one of my favorite 'alternative' marketplaces) then many of the shortcomings inherent with the Amazon store can be mitigated. Chrome (more often Gmail) can get fussy without google services/framework. Opera is a nice alternative that utilizes the same core engine as Chrome. Gmail is a little tougher to directly emulate; plenty of alternatives if the Gmail app coughs up a fur ball (I happen to like Aquamail). You really don't need root but if you choose to do so Xposed framework adds a few nice touches that can further tame an HDX without compromising native functionality.
Hope it works out for you folks.

You can run Google services framework without root. People have been having issues with the newer builds however. If it does not work for you, try build version 7.0.99.

That will work for now (thanks @lekofraggle for the tip) but be aware Google is quickly adapting apps to leverage capabilities introduced in newer builds of services framework. For now that appears confined to Maps and Google Now (eg: card features) and primarly targets Lollipop.

You are welcome. I know about the impending issue with Google play services. Hopefully they fix the issues soon. Google maps works for now but complains.

Is anyone able to use the DirecTV app on the Shield Android TV?

Hey guys. Does anyone have a working apk of the DirecTV app for the Nvidia Shield Android TV?
It looks like it has HDMI protection and just fails to stream. Has anyone been able to remove the protection on the .smali file that has it?

What is the exact error that you are receiving? I use to be able sideload a Direct TV apk for either the phone or the tablet but now they have stop working. When it worked fine it was amazing. I was able to watch my subscribed premiums. I think we need to incentivize developers to find a means of allowing functionality through our Nvidia Shield. I will pledge a 300 bounty for the first person that finds a work around. There are many gifted people on this forum and as a whole we can solve this issue.

Any luck with this?

Not sure if it's an HDMI block because if you notice certain channels do work (local NBC works for me as well as ESPN channels). I'm inclined to think the device isn't giving the proper location access to the app thus forcing the error for most channels. Just my 2 cents.

I experimented with a custom ROM yesterday and the DIRECTV app worked great on it. I don't think the app has an HDMI block, I think it's more that the stock rom restricts the necessary permissions or location requests.

What android tv box are you using? Are you using the latest directv version (phone or tablet)? What custom ROM you use?

I have a shield TV and I'm using zulu99's full android marshmellow firmware. There isn't any controller support so you'll have to pair with a mouse/keyboard but pretty much all apps work on it.

Hey guys, I am in the same situation. I have found two other threads on the issue. It is definitely not an HDMI issue or a WiFi issue. Someone has tried to fool the app on what device it's on and it worked but it was too much work. There must be a simpler way to achieve this.

I would love to see someone figure this out. I have tried to tinker, but I am just not smart enough to make it happen. Hopefully one of the many crazy smart dev's will take a look at this sometime. ((fingers crossed))

The Direct TV app now is working I have the same issue but i think it was an ATT issue but its working as of 10/19/16
but not working on my note 4

DirecTV now
Hi, DirecTV Now app is not in my Google play store ! I'm using Nvidia shield TV. Any reason why it's not showing up ..
Thanks

I would love to use the DirecTV Now app on the nVidia Shield too. I extracted the APK from the app I installed on my Pixel XL, and loaded it on the Shield, but I get the following error:
failed to connect to aeg-umsgw.quickplay.com/23.101.201.149 (port443) after 10000ms
Man, life would be good if they'd release this app for the Shield.

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.

I got mine working. I did a Sideload APK install from APK Mirror "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015 by DIRECTV, LLC --- September 9, 2016" (select that version)
My problem was that I kept trying to use the Telephone version of this App. I did not know that DirecTv has a Tablet APK version as well that is very similar but has slight variations for older tablets. Let me know if yours works now. I don't need $300, but a $10 Starbucks gift card will do...
*** SINCE I am new to this forum I cant post the link *** Go to the APKMIRROR website and search "Directv" -> then select-> "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015"
Enjoy.

It seems there is some confusion and contusion between the DirecTV apps. The hot new toppic is about the DirecTV NOW service. I ran the search on APKmirror and it seems what you are talking about is the older app for DirecTV satellite service customers.
http://www.apkmirror.com/?s=Directv&post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk

I am referring to the DirecTV app that is for satellite customers, NOT the Now app.
I was able to download the tablet version of the DirecTV app and use it on my Nexus Player running stock 7.1.1 system, but you have to use a mouse; the app is designed for touch input and while you can sort of use the remote, there are a bunch of things you cannot press without using a mouse. Still hoping for some official support at.. using a mouse isn't ideal. Here is the latest apk file: updated 11/24/2016 v. 4.9.010
http://www.filedropper.com/dtv

Resurrecting this old thread. Do you still use the directv app on your shield and is it working ok? Do you have a more recent apk you can share? For anyone reading this I am looking for the DirecTV app NOT the DirecTV Now app. Thank you!

Nexus Player - Google Assistant

Hi All,
With Google Assistant officially official on Android TV, how to get it on Nexus Player, which technically should be getting it first. Any way, is there a work around to enable it in Nexus Player with Oreo?
Thanks

Yesterday, I noticed that the OTA update had added GA, but every time I press the microphone button the device shows the "Meet your Google Assistant" welcome page.
Factor Reset, un-installed and reinstalled the Google App, all without success. :/
Thoughts?

I noticed the latest update with November Security Patch is supposed to have Google Assistant now. I recently bought an nVidia Shield TV device which also has Google Assistant (well was the first device to get it anyway) and it works flawlessly on that device (which currently runs 7.1.2).
I'll have to hookup my NP tonight and update it to see how it works. Mine is running Oreo but I disconnected it when I picked up the Shield TV last weekend. My NP is fully stock, and I did read that GA was a little quirky with the Nexus remote and it was suggested to use your mobile device for a better experience with it. Anyway, point is, I'll hook mine up tonight, update it and check it out. Let you know how it goes [emoji6]
