Rte player firestick

Have you tried Force stopping the app or restarting the Firestick? I've had problems like that before and those 2 steps resolve, usually Force Stop is enough.

The RTE website has a FAQ page regarding the app and devices it runs on etc etc.

I got it working recently, I put it on the RTE thread here, by going into the Amazon Silk browser/Internet, searched for RTE.IE, when I opened the RTEplayer page it worked fine, I then saved the page by bookmarking it. I saved the Internet app to the homepage, now each time I open it the RTEplayer opens and works, news, player, live TV, radio. Click bottom right for full screen

The Player app is not on the Firestick.

Has anyone tried [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1f5nzya/guide_how_to_patch_splitapksbundles_with_revanced/[/This craic] to see will it just merge the 3 apk's instead of downloading 3 files . Then using AFT link shortener for the downloader app to make it easier for everyone? Ill try it shortly once I get my phone back from my mother whose using it to cast RTE player tot he telly.

I managed to get the player (version 3.128.1) installed on the firestick and all seems ok. I cant give a step by step detail of how i did it because i was really only experimenting at the time as i have the player already on the smart tv.

If i remember correctly the sequence was that i got the apk files from a twentyfouri.com link that i found on redditt. I was able to download these using the downloader app and although it wasnt able to install them they were saved in the Files section on Downloader. So to install these files i downloaded on to my android phone two apps from playstore. One was Easy fire tools and secondly APK Mirror (beta). then i installed APK to the firestick using the easyfiretools app.

You can find the the instructions on how to do this on youtube.

(I could have installed APK directly to the firestick but i would have had to have signed into my google account on my firestick and i didnt want to use my google password there.)

Finally i opened the APK app on the firestick and navigated to "browse files" scrolled down to "Download" and opened that and then there was a "Downloader" folder at the top of the list. Open that and the twentyfouri files were there. So click on those and then on "Install package" and the player was installed.

I couldn't be arsed with all the ADB and that shite so in the end I just bought one of these bad boys for €7.50 (pack of two so anyone in Waterford wants one just pop upto me and you can have one. )

Ok so it appears Im not around long enough to post a fecking link so just go to amazon and search for these, Im sure most computer shops in town will have them either.

And since I cant share my link for the files either youll have to go back a few pages to find the link.

Use your PC/Phone to put the files on your USB stick. Plug usb stick into the OTG cable I linked.

Plug the cable into your Firestick with USB in it.

I used total commander to move the files from USB to Firestick downloader folder. Throw it wherever you want.

Install SAI.

Then open SAI

click install apk

then select internal file picker

navigate to and select the 3 files by ticking the box

Click Install

Twiddle your thumbs for 10 seconds and boom, Roberts your mothers brother.

Job Done.

Has Rte player stopped working on fire stick for others as of today?

yeah, that one above stopped for me. had to update, it's linked in the firestick thread

Today I installed APKMirror installer, then RTÉ Player (Android TV) 3.130.0 (320dpi) APK Download by RTÉ - APKMirror. I did run into a problem where it kept bringing up cloudflare so I then went into the Firestick Settings, Applications, Manage installed applications, Rte player, Open supported links and set that to open in this app.

and at the bottom of the description it says ……

We want you to know

Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTE) is not available as an app.

anyone have an updated/active link for the download please, getting a message our player needs an update, thanks

Just before I go and buy a firestick, can someone confirm if Rte Player live still work via Silk browser?

Yes, I watch it on the silk browser all the time. I just can't get the app to load properly. Hopefully they bring an up to date app soon.

yeah it's new enough. no, rte isn't available as an app on firesticks - virgin media & tg4 are though - you'll have to sideload the android tv version.

look in the firestick thread, that has instructions. but basically you need to install sai installer on fs, then upload the rte apk to fs & install it with sai. sounds more trouble than it actually is
