How is this downloaded to the fire stick?
Do you just go into the fire browser and search?

I have a dns service on mine for iplayer etc. I wonder will this allow rte player.

Thanks

Easiest way now to install RTE Player on firestick is to use the FireTVSticks Filelinked store. 1.0.1 RTE player (ignore the version is reported at v2.092 - its androidtv 1.0.1) was added today.

Video tutorial to install FileLinked:

Once you have Filelinked installed its easy to add BBCPlayer etc

Her channel has of lots of good apps and tutorials for FireTV.

I ended up using an app called Apps2fire.
It allows you to sync any player app on your phone to the fire stick.

Some work, some don't.
Rte player still freezes. Not really reliable.

Weird - working perfectly for me on 4K firestick for months.

Yes, but I think the problem is that the version on your phone is not the version that was suggested earlier in the thread for the Firestick. The earlier suggested version works perfectly when installed locally on the Firestick.

Works without a bother for me on a Now TV stick, I don't know what version it is, must check.

I've noticed on the Nvidia Shield that it will work fine after installation. However when you close the app and go back to it it won't work. I must clear the cache to get it working.

I wonder is there any chance of the full RTÉ Player being put up on SkyQ? Would be great to have access to all the box sets.

1.0.1 now buffering constantly when I try to use it. Cleared data and cache but no better. Any ideas? Did anyone manage to track down an APK for 1.0.3 ?

I couldnt find 1.0.3 apk anywhere scouring the web. But does 1.0.3 have ads?

I downloaded the version mentioned earlier, an apk one, different to the android rte player. I then sync'd it to the fire stick using that app.
I wouldn't hold out much hope for the rte player when the official android one is poor.

RTE player has been working well for me lately, few good shows on it now that you can watch a full series. (first positive thing I said about it):pac:
Still a shame it doesn't remember what episode you are on though.

RTE Player buffering a lot tonight.

Evergreen post if I've ever seen one.

Hi, sorry if this had been asked already, but why is there a big difference in the same Android app when used on a Samsung phone and an Android box? With the phone there are no adverts but with the box there's a multitude of adverts and problems when trying to restart after the adverts?

Anyone have rte player working on an amazon fire hd (2020 10gen) tablet? Tried loads of diff apks and app just hangs on a blank screen. Thanks.

Works perfectly on my latest generation HD fire tablet. 10inch.

Interesting- fire hd10 2019 and hd8 plus 2020 should be practically the same as both run firos 7 (android 9). You running fireos 7.3.1.4 as well?

In the end I got it mostly working after
trying every version. Player 3.1.1 works, but any version after that crashes.

Only thing that doesn't work on 3.1.1 is account login.

IrlJidel · 04-07-2020 3:00pm

Never mind - got everything working by uninstalling all the google play services - must have picked an incorrect apk somewere.

Used APKPure app [1] to install the components so it would only show compatible apks. All good now.

Good to see, hopefully Virgin media and TG4 will follow

TG4 have added a +1 and +2 to their player, and also added the player to Smart TV, Apple TV and Google TV.

Not coming up on my LG tv when I search the content store.

It seems it will also be on Fire sticks.

Already there

Tigerandahalf · 04-02-2021 7:08pm

Just checked it out on the Fire stick.
Very nice with a live feed, +1 & +2. Very easy to interact with. A lovely collection of tiled box sets etc.

Not sure if you can set up an account so you can pick up where you left off watching.

Well impressed with tg4 player app and the the huge array of platforms it supports. Ditto with the general quality of tv programs they produce considering all done on probably a tiny budget - and no - I barely speak Irish so have no agenda here - happy to read the subtitles!
