Trouble sideloading Prime TV on my ISP's Android Box

by kuttanpilla

The box came bundled with my fibre plan. While most OTT apps are preloaded, Prime TV isn't.

Anyway, I assumed it shouldn't be that big of a deal to sideload it. The Play Store on the box did not have ES Explorer or any cloud storage apps. So I managed to get the APK over with a combination of FX Explorer and a random WiFi file transfer app. So far, so good.

Only post the installation, the Prime TV app refuses to open. The first time I tried to open it, there was a username/password prompt after which the app just closed. I haven't been able to open it since. I even tried Prime Android TV app - I could install that, but the 'open' button on the screen right after installation is greyed out.

I'm at my wit's end now. Help me out y'all.

EDIT: The OEM of the box is some Chinese company called Skyworth, if it helps.

I also have the ACT 4k tv. I downloaded the Prime video - Android TV from aptoide and loaded it into the box using file commander cloud service. It works perfectly

Prime video has not played well with Android TV (except the Nvidia shield) Amazon and Google were in a pissing match until recently, until Amazon rereleases their app your best choice is casting from the prime app on you phone
