Latest release crashes on Fire TV when trying to stream

[petrm]

Hi, The Fire TV version got updated two days ago and since then it doesn't work. It crashes as soon as you select a channel to stream. Downgrading to an older version from the releases here works. Looking at logcat there seems to be a problem caused by the new PIP feature:

Hey, this will be fixed in the next release!

[sreichholf]

A quick heads up: The fixed version is still under review by amazon (for >2 days now). We can't do anyhting but wait for amazon to finish the review, sorry!

[sreichholf]

The fix for this is now available on the amazon app store. Feedback would be highly regarded!

[petrm]

I am not able to update the app from the amazon store. After trying uninstalling I was no longer able to find it. Then I went on the computer to the store and fire tv is not listed in the compatible devices anymore.

[sreichholf]

Oh wow... Thats bad. I'll try to take care of that asap...

[sreichholf]

Here's a short update about this issue:

Amazon really fu***d it up there. After releasing the latest version the tester noted that video playback doesn’t work for him and removed the app compatiblity for all FireTV devices. I have opened a ticket with amazon explaining that it would stay that way unless the set up a dreambox and hope this is easily resolvable... If not I have to create some pseudo Bick-Buck-Bunny testing backend just for amazon to be happy (and I REALLY don't want to).

I just got positive feedback:

"Thank you for providing additional information. We are pleased to confirm that your App has been approved and will go live within 48hrs."

DreamDroid is already live for FireTV again!
