UKTV activation

[jasmine-n]

Hi Hosh

I installed the UKPlay launcher on my Sony KD-49XF9005. It opens, but after briefly showing the splash screen, hangs with a spinning blue circle.

It appears that UKTV now require you create an account and activate your TV using a code that’s displayed when opening the app. I’m guessing that is what’s going wrong.

I'm not sure if it's something you would be able to fix, but it would be great if you can!

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you post a screenshot?

I'm finding the same. Just get this after the initial splash:

This looks like an issue with the website. Nothing I can do about that unfortunately. Are you able to post the logcat?

[markhats]

Not sure I know how to do that. I'll see if I can look into it though.

Interestingly the link you are using which I believe to be:

https://tvapp.uktv.co.uk/?brand=default&model=fvp&launch_mode=video_only&house_num=None

also gives the same output in the Chrome browser on my Android phone. However, it does work on my desktop machine. Not sure it that sheds any more light on it?

Thanks

Actually, I was wrong on that one. It doesn't work in Chrome on my desktop either. It seems to be the launch_mode=video_only bit that makes it fail. If I remove that, the page loads OK.

Please try attached file and see if it works. I've removed launch_mode=video_only. I did try it in chrome and firefox with and without that, and it works fine for me either way.

app-uktvPlay-debug.apk.zip

Note this is a debug release, so please let me know when if it works and I'll create a release.

[markhats]

Great - all seems to work now.

Many thanks!

[hoshsadiq]

Great. I will push the changes and make a release later today.

I've just created a new release, v2.3.1, once the pipeline runs it should automatically upload the apk files.
