Is anybody else having an issue with the Paramount+ app crashing upon opening on their ONN device? And, if so, have you found a fix?
My specific issue:
The Paramount logo goes through its animation then immediately goes to an error message: "We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties. Please check again later."
My attempts to troubleshoot:
I have force stopped the app.
I have cleared the app data and cache.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
I have rebooted the device.
I have tried installing the app to the device using both the Play Store website on a PC, and directly with the Play Store app on the device.
I can access Paramount+ using a browser on my PC, so my Internet connection appears to be okay.
My other streaming apps work okay - Netflix, HBO, Disney, Hulu, etc.
This is driving me nuts.
Is there anything I may have missed? TIA.
I am able to use Paramount+ (CBS) Android TV version 8.1.10 (com.cbs.ott) on my Onn TV 4k box (dopinder) using stock software and no ad-blocker. You can download it from apkmirror.

Try disabling any adblockers, as most streaming apps have countermeasures to dns adblockers. The phone/tablet version com.cbs.app is available to try as well.
Thanks. I solved the issue by installing the app by logging into the Play Store from my PC, and sending it to the device from there. Previously, I had installed it directly from the Play Store app on the device itself.
I only discovered this weirdness when I installed it that way onto another ONN device, and it worked.
BTW, I don't believe ad-blockers are a thing with Android TV apps, only browsers and such.

Hi All,
First post on XDA -
Have searched the full forum and google but can't find anyone with this specific issue.
I'm on CM7 in the UK and I've used OTA root keeper and the modified apk from SDX-Developers and can get my rentals to show up in the Google Videos app. Without the modified apk movies didn't show up - the app complained the Kindle was rooted even with OTA running.
When I try to play the Movies by streaming it gives me - Not available in your country -
When I try to download it it gives me - Austin Powers is in an unsupported video format.
Google video purchases work fine on a UK account - was previously able to stream and download with the (unaltered) Videos apk side loaded on my stock Kindle rom.
Anyone else had this - fixed this ?

The MLB.TV app for Android TV updated to v1.3.4 recently.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bamnetworks.mlbtv
This new version only shows a black screen when trying to watch any video on it. Has anyone else encountered this problem on their Nexus Player? I don't think it's a regional blackout issue because videos are playable on the MLB At Bat app on my Nexus 5 which is still able to cast content over to the Nexus Player. The MLB.TV app was working fine at v1.3.2 but I don't have a saved copy of the older APK file to revert back to.
Anyone? The problem is still ongoing so until the MLB.TV app starts working properly, it's only good for displaying scores. I'll just have to cast games over to the Nexus Player instead.
Same problem since last update (that was on Saturday I think..)
Some good folks on Reddit got it working by disabling and re-enabling Location in the android settings and then reinstalling the app but no luck for me. Tried bunch of times, many reboots, clear cache etc..
Sadly, I can't find an older .apk to downgrade
At least now I know I'm not the only one who's experiencing this. Can you post a link to the reddit page where they discussed this problem? I think you're referring to https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/3isfu0/mlbtv_premium_broken_after_update/ if I'm not mistaken. I tried the location setting adjustment and uninstall / reinstall of the MLB.TV app on my Nexus Player but that still didn't fix the video problem. The radio streams work but who installs this app on Android TV to listen to radio streams? I'm disappointed that MLB.TV v1.3.3 and v1.3.4 were released without adequate testing.

It seems to be working on Shield and some Sony TVs :S
I wonder if upgrading to M Preview could help
October is coming.. better fix this soon
FYI I flashed M preview 3 to find out MLB.tv doesn't work on Prev 2&3 ..
Flashed last factory image for 5.1.1 and now the app works perfectly. FINALLY
I'd rather not reflash my Nexus Player with a factory image. I flashed Android 5.1.1 (LMY48J) a few weeks ago and don't plan to start over until Android 6.0 Marshmallow is officially released this year. It's disappointing that the MLB.TV app is still problematic but I'll stick with casting games and video clips from MLB At Bat until things change for the better.
Hmmm, now that Google has released Android 5.1.1 build LMY48N, I may go ahead and flash that factory image and try the MLB.TV app after a clean install.

Okay, so MLB.TV v1.3.4 is working on a clean install of Android 5.1.1 LMY48N. I've noticed that when I install AdAway and its latest hosts file, however, this leads to the black screen issue with MLB.TV videos.

OMG.. so that means the only reason why I couldn't watch games was that I had AdAway?
I think so, @koperniczx3. I wish I had realized it before I resorted to a clean install of Android but it seems to be what causes the black screen issue on my current configuration. Once the AdAway hosts file is disabled and the Nexus Player is restarted, MLB.TV videos play again. I think that this conflict with AdAway has something to do with this line from the MLB.TV v1.3.3 changelog:
- Support for Pre Roll Ads on Free Game of the Day and Game Recaps for free mlb.com registered users.
I'll just have to do without AdAway until after the MLB postseason. The ironic thing is that AdAway has a "Log DNS Requests" feature that could be used to identify and whitelist the MLB server(s) but that feature is generally inaccessible on Android TV because the 3 dots menu in that app (and other sideloaded apps) is missing on Android 5.1 and higher.
Kodi app stopped working so I uninstalled it then went back to reinstall it an it's not in the Play store on the Nvidia shield console.So I downloaded the Apk oddly laptop to an Sdcard it will install on the console but when I goto click on the Kodi icon the TV screen just Flash's it won't open the app...Any ideas?my console is stock not rooted ..
I just noticed it's gone too. A friend of mine bought a nexus player for the sole purpose of running kodi considering how well it ran on my nexus player. Kind of odd
I tried installing the newest version of Kodi I put the Apk on my SDcard an installed it on the Shield console click on the Kodi app still the screen just flashes..What all the sudden Kodi isn't compatible with the Shield console..It's pissing me off lol
Kodi is still here at the german play store.
GBPackerFanForLife:
Did you sideload the right Kodi Apk for ARM CPU?
Maybe you redownload the Apk and try again. Kodi is still working here at my Shield Android TV.
Ya I used the Arm apk directly from Kodi website then put it on my SD card then install it on my console but when I click on the Kodi icon to open the app it doesn't open it just flashes the screen...I might try a older version of Kodi heck I dunno
That is weird because I am using kodi right now with out any problem. Kodi is on play store and working. Maybe you have any other version of play store app.
Ya Kodi is back in the playstore and is working...very strange..
Can a admin please close this thread..Issue is fixed..
Hey guys, Came across a great APK which allows you to access the entire playstore on your Android TV.
Yalp Store uses the same (protobuf) API the android Play Store app uses. It downloads apks directly from Google servers.
By default Yalp Store connects to Google services using a built-in account, so you do not have to own a Google account to use it. The only reason to use a live Google account is to access the paid apps you own.
Each time you log in a new Google Services Framework id (also known as device id) is generated using your device parameters.
For us to access all the apps all we need to do is spoof our device ID with another handset (Nexus / Pixel / Samsung tab etc).
You can see a demo of me installing the full version of Google Chrome and also Youtube TV direct on my 4K firestick
Do other apps see this as Play Services also? I have an app that apparently requires Google play services, and it seems that the other method for putting that on the Fire TV 4k is not working anymore.
That's not YouTube TV you are installing. That's YouTube for Android TV. It's just regular Youtube, and not the live TV and DVR version of YouTube TV.
stuck on "check Yalp Store Credential" and no way tonuse mine... sorry...
Is this a common issue with the Fire 10HD?
My tablet is not rooted but I used ADB to disable all the Amazon apps and use Evie as a launcher.
I've installed Google framework, Youtube and VLC. I have also installed Kodi.
Other than Kodi, I have not been able to play any video files locally. Youtube also would not work unless I play it through Kodi Youtube addon.
Is there something missing from the tablet basic installation that will allow it to play the video files and Youtube?

NVM,
Turns out the tablet was buggy and stop playing video altogether. Anyway, a reboot seems to clear up whatever was causing the issue.
