New Amazon Prime Video Android TV app from Shield, works on the Nexus Player, mostly! - Nexus Player General

With the new Nvidia Shield Android TV console comes a new Amazon Prime Video app for it, and it mostly works on the Nexus Player, except when it gets to the last hurdle: actually watching videos.
You can install it, log in, it'll identify which country you are in (something the Sony Amazon Prime Video app didn't do, you were forced to be in America), and shows all the content. When you try and watch any content, thoug,h an error message comes up.
Here's the APK:

Here's the Error Message:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it to stream the video?

The bad thing is, you can play trailer... So there is some codec hassle I think

So it mostly doesn't work.

[Q] Movie catalog

I've a hard drive with hundreds of movies on it. Is there an app that'll automatically catalog them and pull up the plot and cast based on the file name? I don't want to have to manually input them.
Just a thought
Don't know if this apps have the exact function you looking for.
I use Mvideoplayer HD for my video.. It sorts TV series and movies automatically and get info and cover.
If you don't want to play the video with the applications player you go to Options - Open with.

Really good app
Thanks for the great suggestions! MovieBrowser HD for Tablets ended up doing exactly what I needed. I think I'm going to try the other ones just to see the functionality... Who knows, I may like the feel of one of the other ones more, but MovieBrowser is great!

K1 Color Decoding Problem w/ YouTube?

I have discovered a problem with the K1 regarding color decoding (?) when playing video through the YouTube app. Please see the screenshot below. At left is the AVS Calibration color steps MP4 file being played on the tablet. At right is the same thing being played on the tablet on YouTube. You will notice at right that there is a problem with greens and cyans. When pausing the YouTube video, the greens and cyans become normal while the pause overlay is on the video, then return to being messed up when the video starts playing again. The YouTube version does not have this problem on my PS3 or Xbox One X. I am not rooted and am running stock SHIELD 5.4, Android 7. The problem happens on Native and sRGB profiles.

COVID: Need to entertain my kid using the TV camera. Is an upgrade necessary?

Hi there,
We are finding it increasingly challenging to entertain my 2-year-old while we are stuck at home during COVID. We thought it would be good to have regular check-ins through video calls with our family and some remote babysitting on a larger screen (our TV) as our phones are required for work calls.
We have a 2013 LG TV and Skype is no longer supported on that model. It's a 60LA8600 1080P 240Hz LED TV

We have a Roku and Chromecast but can't activate the camera functionality. What are the ways to get video calls working? Would an upgrade to WebOS work?
Thank you all. Stay safe.
you could simply cast your smartphone screen, e.g. using a mirror app or a plain camera app. May be there are also apps that can cast their camera image directly

Help buying NVIDIA SHIELD TV exclusive app

Hello, I've been trying for some time already to buy Metal Gear Solid 3 HD for the SHIELD TV. I don't even care if it ends up not working at all, since I mostly want to peek in with RE tools. However, Google has been making it very difficult for me to buy it.
I've replaced the build.prop file with a Magisk module on my hacked Nintendo Switch running LineageOS (which even uses the Tegra X1 as well) so it thinks it's a SHIELD TV, even the Android Device Manager is seemingly convinced that it is in fact a SHIELD TV:

But Google Play won't budge and insists that my devices are not compatible:
Maybe there's a tool on PC that can help me spoof the device more accurately and download the files straight to my PC?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Blue cast to videos in Youtube android app

This a screenshot of the youtube app running on Android 12 on my Sony Xperia 1ii mobile.
As you can see, there is a bluish tint to the video - which should be pure white (this video is just an example - it happens on all videos).
The cast is not applied to the whole screen - just the playback box for the video itself.
If I watch the same video on my mac, on the youtube app on an adroid tablet, or on my mobile but within a browser, this does not appear.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to solve it?
(Something which may or may not be connected: I noticed the other day that a very similar blue cast got applied to a video I uploaded directly to Twitter from my phone. But that cast applies whatever device I watch it back on.)
