Amazon Appstore Possible? Or, Options for Streaming NBC/CSN Sports

by HorseBot3000

I'm trying to sideload the NBC Sports for Fire onto my Mi Box. The app installs fine, but upon opening it, I get a message informing me that I need to have the Amazon App store installed on my device (and presumably logged in). Which is simple enough, I though. I downloaded Amazon Underground (which I guess is what the appstore is now called?) and installed it. Couldn't log in, however. I got a white screen after selecting log in from the initial menu options. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on troubleshooting this issue? I'm essentially trying to do this:

Except it looks like maybe there's been a change in the Amazon apk that is now preventing this work around. Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions for how I'd be able to stream the NBC sports stuff? I've tried the Kodi plugin, but was met with constant buffering every minute or so that made it unbearable to watch. I've tried using a sideloaded browser, but the NBC/Comcast website requires flash to stream, which Chrome doesn't support. I also can't cast it for some reason from my laptop browser, because the quality just turns to garbage. Any help would be appreciated!

I've been looking for the NBC Sport APK for the Fire TV. Success with Amazon apps are mixed, but usually been ok with getting the Amazon App store to work.

Mind sharing the APK (or the link), and I can give it a try on my Mi and the Nexus player?

I sideloaded the phone version of the app. I use a mouse to control the app. I havent tried it in a few weeks but it used to work fine. I had another app that fixed the orientation in landscape so the menus were not sideways

If you post the apk, I can remove the Amazon store checks from the app. It works ~75% of the time. I can even add leanback launcher support.
