Congrats - I have to admit, I don't spend anywhere near as much time dissecting this forum as you and your cronies.

With Amazon pulling the app, does that mean Fire Stick users need to manually sideload app updates going forward?

No, it was pulled only for Windows 11

It appears that Channels DVR is back in the Amazon APP store for Windows 11. At least I got an update to the latest version, a nice surprise.

Yes we worked things out with Amazon. They wanted us to charge for the DVR via IAP, but we explained to them that you need to setup a separate piece of server software and tuner sources for things to work. The app in their store is just a client. They eventually understood and have allowed us back onto the store.

I'm not seeing the DVR app in the Amazon app store, was it removed again? I'm in the UK FWIW - I can see the basic HDH version

Amazon pulled it again and is requiring some changes

Thanks, Amazon :roll_eyes:

Disregard, I see Amazon Pulled it in a previous post.

Successfully installed Amazon App Store on my Windows 11 PC (Home Edition). However, when I search for Channels all I get is the $24.99 paid version to work with the HDHOMERUN tuners. Any ideas why I can't see Channels DVR?

Where were the instructions on how to sideload it?

See:

Just tried to run Channels on Window 11 using the Amazon provided Android app (paid version of course), and sadly it does not work. Firstly the Android subsystem overall is slow (despite plenty of memory and a 5950X), but opening up any channel to watch whether SD or HD, it shows 1 frame and then freezes. I should add that I don't use the DVR functionality or even subscribe to it.

Has anyone else managed to get things working under WIndows? I hate the Silicon Dust app and really prefer Channels. I've also paid yet again for the app so keen to try and get things working so any tips/hints would be much appreciated.

You have more than enough system. Check this setting:
/playback/advanced/video decoder

You must select software. This is probably your problem

I have the same problem testing it on my new Windows 11 PC

If https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0BP507 doesn't work, have you tried the other methods (adb or GUI helpers)?

ADB sideloading did not work would not connect as WAS has it's own IP.

I installed a Version of WAS from Github that Includes the google play store. I was surprised it play on the Ace Magician mini PC. N95
