Using Hulu Amazon Fire app on Android TV

by superj1018

I have a Miibox since the Android TV Hulu app hasn't been updated if I sideload the Amazon Fire version of the app will it work on the Miibox?

UPDATED: So I played around this morning with loading the Amazon App Store APK which apparently the updated FireTV version of the Hulu app is dependent on, based on this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/8ckqmy/ripped_apps_from_fire_tv_3_for_you/

Updated Amazon App Store APK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3p26mjvvzkfdzb/Amazon_App.apk?dl=0

I was able to get the Amazon App Store loaded, and it displays sideways and I had to use a wireless keyboard/trackpad to login on my Mi Box, but that worked. Unfortunately, with or without the App Store installed, the Hulu app just closes instantly. I'm on Android 8.0.0, build 2167 on the Mi Box. I also tried the suggestion of trying to find the Hulu app in the Amazon store and install it from there so that it shows that I "own" the app, but the Hulu app doesn't show up when I search for it.

Someone in that thread mentioned using something called "Lucky Patcher" that can remove the Amazon dependency entirely from an APK with around 50% success rates, I might try that next.

This is ridiculous. Get with it Hulu, it wouldn't take a huge modification of your FireTV app to get it to work on the AndroidTV platform. I'd really like to be able to utilize profiles on my Mi Box and Nexus Player AndroidTV devices.

So annoying that a fork of AndroidTV (FireTV) is getting any app updates before official AndroidTV.

I don't hate the Amazon hardware, but the FireTV launcher is atrocious.
