My Fire is rooted and now I can't access HBOgo or MAXgo. It's kind of the same when I try to access Amazon Video which I don't care about. Has anyone found a way to get these working again? I can unroot but then my widget locker doesn't work right and I like not having to deal with the Amazon wallpaper.
You can retain command line root access by renaming /system/bin/su to something else, but until someone rebuilds the SuperUser.apk to allow changing the path to su you'll lose access via the app
I've renamed su to super and am able to use Amazon VOD and still adb to my kindle and get root via super
I've never got hbogo to work in the first place.
Strangely, when I got it, hbo worked... now it doesn't... grrr

Yes I have q thread somewhere else about this. HBOGo and MAXGo worked at first but now neither work. Not sure what has happened I am guessing they added something to their servers or changed their apps to not support the Kindle. Very sad.

Maybe rooting is not the problem. HBO and MAX weren't apps I used all the time. They worked when I installed them when I first got the Fire. Too bad. It was pretty cool to have those available.. Maybe someone will come up with a fix. Thanks for all the replys.
no rooting needed just a little trick
to get hbo go working turn off your wifi before loading up the app when you get the error message to check your connection pull up the status bar and turn wifi back on while the app is still open. let the fire sign back in and hit check again and hbo go will load up.
I get this message popping up on a regular basis and have to click ok on the message to get it to go away. I haven't used the Ouya function yet other than launching it once. Rebooting, unplugging, it will still eventually pop up this message from time to time. Kind of annoying when playing game/watching movie when this happens. Anyone else get this error? Any ideas how to fix it? I'm rooted.
The only way I could fix it was to create an Ouya account, credit card and all. After that, even though I don't use Ouya, it stopped crashing.

Ahah.. yea.. thanks madcatz
If you don't use it, just uninstall it
I created an app 2 years ago and that was a challenge in itself but its only a select few that get to see it as its more a local specialised app more than anything.
I have been told by someone that the app installs onto their device fine but when you open/start it, it closes down saying it cannot open.
I have tested it myself and getting the same error.
Can anyone tell whats causing it and maybe fix it as I just cannot figure out why its closing down as soon as its open.

You should try to install the app with android Studio (or eclipse) via adb so you can have a logcat of what happens on your app
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

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!
I just signed up for YoutubeTV and I’m trying to access the Play Store and get the app but all I get is the spinning blue loading thing. Any ideas what is wrong or what I need to do? This is my only Android device so bit of a novice.

What gadget/specs are you using and any modifications to it?
It could had been updating itself but try wiping app's data and cache.
