Download the Marshmallow OTA
copy it in the download folder of shield tv
and install stock Marshmallow ota with twrp recovery selecting it from download folder.
You don't need install twrp recovery you can boot it without install with the command fastboot boot your_twrp_recovery.img
when you have stock Marshmallow firmware, you can install the StockRestyle.

Wow, great work man. I was waiting for 6.0 to try you StockStyle ROM.
Does casting still work?

i wrote the differences between full Android and Android TV in the first post. under Note section.

On Nvidia forum,there are many,many posts about HDD and SD cards memory problems on 6.0.
Did you have sorted some Nvidia bugs,or you have just add your work on the top of their sw?
Beside of SD cards which can be used like internal memory,i dont see any point of Nvida 6.0.
Do you see some Nvidia improvements: like picture quality,speed, or something else which is crucial but was not in stock 5.1?
Does your Restyle version have something from Vulcan?

Thwnk you for your reply, Will this ROM have the castng hack as I have read marshmallow is stopping some app from casting ?

I wonder if this firmware support 4K resolution in Netflix and Youtube? As I understand, the full android firmware v2.2 don't support 4K resolution in Netflix and Youtube. Moreover, the wireless mode of the controller works? Because you mentioned the multi touch don't work in your note section in the first post.

I think that full Android 5.1 is the best firmware for SATV and the best firmware in the world with no exception. I have many many Android devices for my work, i'm sure on this.
But if you need a better stock firmware where you can download all apps directly from Google Play StockRestyle is for you.

Maybe i'm not clear, this is the stock firmware + stuff, you can do everything the stock can do + stuff.
If you have a 4k TV and a Netflix 4k account enabled, also on full Android 5.1 you can have 4k with the Netflix Android TV app. In general 4k h265 videos are working very very well with full Android 5.1

Thanks for posting this @zulu99!
As soon as I get my system up and going again I plan on flashing this! Can't wait to see what you did!

Alternatives my friend, just alternatives, because i think that the user must be able to choose and not be a monkey in the hands of big companies.
I like when users are the real owner of their devices, and i hate when companies force users in a direction or in another at expense of all others companies and developers.
The Root is the first thing to be the real owner of your device, because i don't think you can be sure when another person have the keys of your house.
It's just a metaphor, but in the digital world, the users without root can be forced in the directions that big companies want.

Does this Flash hack work for Hulu on Archos?

So I was browsing the Tab forum and I saw that there was a hack to make Hulu work on the Tab even though Hulu tries to block mobile devices. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855898
What I wanted to know is, will this work for Archos too? I know that there is already a hacked version of Flash for the Archos, so I know it's possible to do this.
Any thoughts?

Dunno if I'm way off here, but wouldn't changing your User Agent fix this?
just use dolphin hd browser and set user agent to desktop
I believe what hulu does is it detects what kind of flash your using. it doesn't accept the flash that adobe released for mobile devices. so user agent doesn't solve it. but I can't say I know if that flash hack works for Archos, I might test it later
User agent does not work for me in Dolphin HD
No success. Any other tips? I am willing to try.
I followed his instructions to hexedit the file and HULU is now working in Dolphin Browser. But it is so slow and choppy that is completely unwatchable.
We might have better luck once we get the GPU optimized version of flash from archos.

Theoretically using a proxy website (or anonymous browsing website) might work. However since it transmits from hulu to another site, and then to you it might be slower than other methods (like simple browser masking).

Are the other videos you watch online choppy as well? Where did you get your version of flash? (Is it one downloaded from the market, or is it the gregmattersen droid x version that was posted on the archosfans site?)
I used gregmattersen droid x version. I just tried a youtube video and it was choppy too but not as much as the Hulu site.

yeah but the bitrates aren't even comparable. Hulu uses 5x or more what youtube does on SD... that means lag in streaming and lag in processing.
I think the optimized version of flash is the answer, once Archos gives it to us. nice to know we can hexedit it and get it working though
Flash widget

It may not be ideal, but for the time being people who are interested in watching Hulu might be able to get it to run through the widget linked on the page below. Since its running through a widget in a smaller size it may not be as taxing on the system and allow video to play smoother (until an optimized flash comes out).

What version of flash did you hack? I would think you would need root to do this? Can you sure your hacked version of flash so I can test it?

Sorry I don't have the files anymore, I deleted them since it's totally unwatchable plus I don't have root anymore with the latest firmware.
I don't know if you all heard, but Hulu Plus (the paid version) will be coming to Android soon.
archos 70 hulu not working
ok first off, i am a major league amateur when it comes to hacking, rooting or anything so i will need bigtime simple step by step instructions.
i have an archos 70 with the latest firmware update. i wanna watch netflix and hulu on it via my hdtv. i know hulu blocks droid/mobile devices. i tried the user agent switch, the hulu widget and the fixed flask apk. i probably am doing something wrong but idk what.
any and all help will be appreciated. thanks!!
I think the only way this will ever work with any margin of success is to capture the stream that is coming from Hulu on a computer and recompress the content to something with an appropriate resolution/quality for playback on the device.
Or download the torrents of your favorite shows...
archos 70 streaming netflix and hulu
so far i have had no luck with anything. tried teamviewer on my computer, using the archos to access it, but the video was so laggy it was unwatchable. sure hope someone figures out how to trick hulu or netflix so i can stream it thru my archos 70 onto my hdtv.
again, total noob here, with no clue how to hack anything but willing to learn.

For phones running JB, it is not possible as JB does not support Flash out of the box. I have managed to get it installed, but the only way to get it work was to physically connect the phone to PC (or TV). Still, there is a delay between the video and subtitles (if you have any).
For Html4 you have Twonky Beam/Video, that is working quite well (and really does streaming!). But it it not find any solution for Flash.

so if i have a website with a falsh stream...i won't be able to play it on my phone? I have a blue box that shows up...probably delineating the plugin did not load. Wasn't sure if this was a javascript or a flash problem
You need to install Flash Player to your phone. Just go find an .apk from google for Flash.
You can try to install Dolphin Browser. However, any flash site will crash Dolphin in JB.
or go to older Android versions...

[Q] Is Infrared device workingon CM11 ?

Hi
does anyone knows if the Z2 Tablet IR emitter is working or how to make it work?
Currently I wasn't able to find any IR App which is working on CM11.
Also I couldn't see any IR device in /dev...
I always thought IR is (quite) easy on linux and CM seems to support IR at all, so whats wrong?
Best,
mm

It works Today I used the "Remote Control" app which comes stock. It was able to control my Hitachi HDTV and even my WD TV Live streaming media player. It has to be pointed at the devices of course, but it works. (My model # is SGP561)
I don't know if any other apps can use it though. Haven't really playeed around with it much.

Hmmm are you sure? My question was about IR on Cyanogenmod 11. I guess you are on stock ROM, right?
On stock ROM the Sony App is unbeatable in fact, but unfortunately it does not work on any customrom.

Oh, I see. I think I missed that. So are you missing the APK file, or are you missing the folder?
If it's the APK file: is there any way to extract a stock rom as an APK file? If so, I wouldn't mind extracting a copy for you so you can see if it works, but I only know how to extract APK files from the Play Store.
Otherwise, what if you tried just copying the missing folder over from a stock ROM?
Or maybe it's something that was lost with the DRM keys?
Oh, it's not the problem of an missing apk. I've backups of them, of course, but they would not work on custom roms. Since I like the freedom of CM more than the functionally of the stock Z2 Rom I use CM on all of my devices. But I'm always in hope that someone has a hint or even a solution on this issue of the Z2 tablet Android and CM has an IR API so it's a missing driver and Sony just released the kernel sources of the Zz2 so there is hope that someone has an idea...
Yeah, the only reason I'm not going for a custom rom is because the loss of DRM keys result in the loss of core functionality. I really hope that someone manages to figure out how to take all of those official apps and put them into a custom firmware where the DRM keys don't matter anymore.
Any updates on this? I have the exact same issue, a Z2 tablet with CM11 and I can't find any apps to work with the IR
Well, the z2 is quite old right now. I don't even think about it, sorry. Take an recent Sony ROM, root it and bebhappy with what you have... Beleive me, after some years being very disappointed with a WinCE phone from Sony I bought the Z2. It is quite good but next time I'll buy a Nexus.

Works fine here. Model (3rd/4th gen), size (7/9 inch), ROM and other basic details are needed if you want further help.
It's a 3rd gen 7 inch tablet from 2013 I think

If still running FireOS v4 (7j years old) then YouTube app will likely fail. Sideload a standalone browser such as Opera and enjoy YouTube that way.

I am running v4.5.5.3 And by likely, you mean that it would Probrably not work on it?

FireOS v4.5 is a highly skinned Android 4.4 variant that is 5+ years old and does not natively support Google core apps. Nor is it easy to load Google Play Services which the YouTube app leverages. So yea, it will *probably* fail.
I've seen other people here have been able to get it working along with the THOUSANDS of youtube videos on the topic. These videos don't go in depth on say running a video and just show them installing the app. Are those other people running v5.1 or something?

Well, given there are "THOUSANDS" of instructional videos it should take you no time getting YouTube up and running. I'll just step out of the way a let the experts lead the way ...
Tip: look for videos specifically targeting 3rd gen HDX hardware (screen size doesn't matter) running stock FireOS. It's doable if you don't mind investing hours, dealing with an unstable device and possibly spinning up a 'soft brick' depending on the methodology employed.
Alternatively, root/unlock and install a custom ROM + GAaps
Alternatively, sideload a high quality browser like Opera and play vids there
Alternatively, use a different device running near AOSP such as the Onn 8
Choose your poison wisely. Good luck.
Use browser.
Youtube app sucks since 2018
Older version stopped working after api updates 1 year ago
With silk browser you can choose video quality and get dark mode (the trick to enable its simple, open youtube and switch to desktop version , open configuration menu and enable dark mode,after that switch to mobile version and there is , full darkmode youtube)
If you wanna youtube app, Skytube works fine,you can see your suscriptions videos/ trendings and see comments.
You cannot see live streamings and comment,but its ok for me.
I have tried side-loading Youtube Vanced and NewPipe on my stock HDX 3rd, neither work. Vanced does the weird glitchy playback like you describe, and NewPipe just errors out. As others have said, I imagine it's because of this old Fire OS we're running.
Browser playback works fine. There is an Amazon app store app called 'Video For Youtube' that also works well, it even allows you to sign into your Youtube/Google account. It's free (I'm not the dev.)

offline license missing problem

Hey everyone,
at first sorry for my bad english!
I have a X96 (16/2GB Version) Android TV Box with the S905X chipset.
For this box it gives many roms and i tested many roms.
The problem in all roms is the same when i need the prime video app.
I download a video to watch it offline...... the download ends perfectly and i shutdown the box.
Then i start the box at the offline place and will watch the video.
It shows an exclamation mark with the message offline license missing!
Please, has anyone a solution or is it unpossible to watch offline content from prime video on an android tv box?
Greetz!
Thus will probably be to do with widevine DRM, have you tried my ATV rom?, you would have to install the mobile version of prime on it, I don't have prime so I cant test myself

Hi!
Today i have tested your linked app. Thanks to this!
Unfortunately that was not the solution.
After Download the video i shutdown the box. Then, when i´m offline i start the box and pen prime video. I go to my videos and it shows my download. When i open it, it shows the same problem:
"drm failure
a problem with your download video
offline_license_missing"
Have you another idea? I have flash your rom with burning tool and the standard flash options.
Have other people the same problem or i am the only one? Is it possible to look offline videos in the prime video app with an s905x box?
*OK, in the last 5 minutes, i have tested several scenarios. I have download a video and then i shut off wifi.
Then i restart the box. After that i go to the prime app and can play the offline video.
At second i have shutdown the box and start it again. After that i can play the video offline.
And at least i shutdown the box an disconnect the power adapter. THAT´S THE POINT! After that, i can´t play the video. It shows the drm failure.
Give it hope to solve this problem or is it unpossible?
