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!

I saw that WWE Network App came out for the Amazon Fire TV, has anyone attempted to sideload that apk to the ouya?
Looks like its tied to the amazon app store app, it wont launch unless you have the amazon app store installed.
UPDATED Got it to work outside of the fire tv:
Modified the apk to work on other android devices. i belive it only works on 4.2 and above (Sorry Ouya stock people)
*Updated with 1.0.1 Version*
Download Here
Hope this isnt against any forum rules. the application is free and wont work unless the person pays for WWE Network Subscription. Which i DO

I actually have another post up on the amazon fire tv forums asking for an extraction and someone was kind enough to provide the apk for me, since i 'bought' the app on the web app store despite not hacing a device able to run it and also having the amazon app store on the device, i was able to run it. i did have lots of issues and while video technically works, i was not able to pause fast forward etc only go back here is the post:
So i was able to purchase/own the wwe network app from the online amazon store despite me not technically having a device it would run on, this box can also install the amazon app store no problem, though it obviously only sees the android wwe network app and not this one.. GOOD NEWS is that the app is working on my account! its def a bit wonky but i am hoping it is some stuff i can fix with some DPI xposed changes or something of the like, thanks so much very appreciated, and def works!!

I know this post is from 100 years ago, I'm trying to remove the amazon dependency from the APK but I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the "check". Can you tell me what you changed in the APK so it will run without the Amazon app store being installed?
Edit: NVM, I got it.

It would login and then never actually play the video. I ended up exporting the apk from my fire stick and side loading it to my android box. I also had to install the Amazon underground app in order for the apk to work.
Just wondering if it can be side-loaded and operating correctly.
I would love to know as well. Really want to jump on the early offer.

I sidloaded last night. The remote will not function, have to use gamepad. I was unable to view the guide. It was not a good experience. I will just continue casting until/if they support android tv.

Thanks, I truly dislike using the controller for my TV operations. I have a Fire TV and was experiencing streaming issues using the service. Day 1 launch problems.

Fire TV made apps won't work outside Amazon devices due to device compatibility checks that are perform during the launch of the apps. I tried this with the Vue app on my Nexus player.

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.
I subscribed to Directv Now thinking the asus player would work since it has the Google Play store, but states incompatible with my device.
Anyone know a work around?
FireTV stick is supported at current time, along with iOS, Android (phone/tablet), and Apple TV. Support for Android TV and Roku are supposed to come later in the year sometime, I think, but in the meantime the only workaround I can think of would be to adapt the FireTV APK somehow, as it's the closest iteration of the app designed to work with a remote instead of a touchscreen...
I pulled the apk from the fire tv and loaded it into the Nexus player. You also need to install a version of the Amazon app store and sign in. On initial login, the last channel it was on loaded up for me. However, trying to change channels resulted in errors. Haven't tried anymore than that.

I might as well be a complete noob again because I haven't rooted an Android device since I had an HTC Rezound which had an application on the computer or phone, if I remember where all you did was click on the options and it did everything for you.
I just picked up a NVIDIA Shield TV (2017) yesterday and noticed that it doesn't have the full Google Play Store among other things that I miss.
I was just curious if there is an official way or a way that works to root it now? It would be awesome to add any app/apk that you want from the Google play Store or side loaf but yet still keep the important stuff from the Shield TV, like GeForce NOW. Full Android OS expirence. I've checked out the forums here for the Shield and I'm a little overwhelmed, don't know how to even start or where? If someone wouldn't mind helping me out and getting me started I would greatly appreciate it.

You can side load already out of the box. You'll need to install chainfires sideload launcher to open them. You'll also have problems when updating to New official updates. I personally can find everything I want without root or full Android os.
I can't help you root as I haven't done it yet. Just sharing my opinion.

Thank you for the quick response, I'll try some of the stuff you said. I just want to be able to sideload APK files that I download on my PC as well as to install all apps from the Google Store that currently I can't due to Shield limiting what you can install like Chrome, etc. I'm guessing I just place APK files on a USB drive, plug it into my Shield and use ESexplorer to install? Then some kind of Launcher to open the apps? I read that most sideloaded apks won't show up on the main screen?

Free APK to send chrome cast content (screen cast and tab cast) to your fire tv. It supports any fire tv.
Instructions:
side load the APK to your Fire TV
Version 1.2
This is not my work but it is verified to work and it does not contain any ads or any limitations
Hello!
Thank you very much for this app. I sideloaded on my FTVS and it works great with Spotify. Unfortunately I can't detect it with any other app like Chrome / Youtube... Is this app able to cast only sound?
I was able to test it with chrome tab cast and screen mirroring from Windows computer
Install Google Home on your tablet, phone, whatever and go to cast screen.
This works great. Just gonna keep stuff like roms\emulators on my tablet primarily now.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for apk. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have installed your apk and googleHome Cast app. Moreover i installed the google play service for android tv. On my phone and my PC i can see the new "tv-stick-chromecast-device", but i don't can see anything if i try to send something from Phone or PC to the Stick. After opening the Chromecast app i tried to go to cast screen, but there is no device found. What i'm doing wrong, please help me. Thank you.
greetings
Sideloaded also and works perfect!!
Works perfect for me on fire stick 2nd gen nice one is it a full one or a trial ?
VERY cool!
It took me several times to get it to cast but it is works.
I hope this app sticks around longer than the last Google cast app for AFTV.

Hi josuelopezv:
What's so shameful. Developers give you a convenient to install android box without Google Play Service since you said you already buy it from Google PlayStore. But you leak it as piracy and don't think how many times developers spend to implement the Cast Protocol in house.

I thought this is forbidden/illegal? Shouldnt this thread or at least the APK have been deleted?
I do not have a problem to buy any app that has the right functionality.
Im just not used to see pirated content on here(?)
There is nothing illegal about this.

This doesn't seem to allow cast of youtube. It works fine for everything else though. Was hoping to use this for a workaround for the upcoming youtube app removal.

Same here. Casting from YouTube via Chrome on my laptop doesn't work but casting the whole screen does (never found a use for that though since the quality and latency make it pretty useless)
Yeah since I found a work around for the coming youtube/fire armageddon I'm not concerned. How are you casting the whole screen btw?

I use Google Home to steam everything and haven't had a hiccup. Even games work fine.
Thanks! I'll give this a shot. How is the apk in this thread different than the one in the play store?
Thanks for posting this. Is there any way to support the developer as this appears to be a premium version?

Why don't you find out for yourself? Kinda seems like a complete waste of time to register just to say this.
This appears to run as a chromecast receiver & NOT as a chromecast Audio receiver. I'm not sure why Google differentiates them but it would be nice to have a toggle in this app.
