Can't Install ATV Smart YouTube TV Bridge App #867

Open BahadirKaya90 opened 2 years ago

BahadirKaya90 commented 2 years ago

It is impossible to install ATV Smart YouTube TV Bridge app on the Android TVs because the signature of the app on TV and your app's doesn't match. I tried everything to make iy work but no success. I can't totally remove the official YouTube app since my TV isn't rooted. I tried adb commands and it seems uninstalled but the apps still in the app list on TV.

Can you sign your app with the official YouTube signature?

I already know what you are telling. I don't talk about old Smart YouTube TV I'm talking about the extention of SmartTube Next which is called ATV Smart YouTube TV Bridge. This app makes it possible to open SmartTube Next application when we make a voice search on Android TV/Box and if the results are YouTube videos.

But we can't update the YouTube app since this app version is older than the installed YouTube. I tried to uninstall YouTube with ADB comments but it doesn't removed totally and still it is listed as installed. I tried to change the version code of the above app but this time ADB command returns "Signature verification is failed since the installed app and update has different signatures."

As a result I can't install this extension and when make a voice search on TV I can't open the videos on SmartTube Next. They are opened on official YouTube.

I hope, I am understandable.

hello, is there any solution for this? I'm the same with chromecast google tv.

on fire stick it works perfectly, but on chromecast I have that problem, I can't send videos from the phone if the smartube app is not open

It seems you should uninstall the original Youtube app COMPLETELY. and thereby you need root you tv, sadly..

I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S and I tried to delete the updates of the youtube app. Doing that reverted my youtube app to version youtube.tv_2.10.17

The TV Smart YouTube TV Bridge seems to be same com.google.android.youtube.tv as the youtube app but it's version is 2.4 ( so the Bridge app has a smaller version than the youtube app from my Mi Box S ) Because of that when I try to update from ADB I get the downgrade error.

I think the developers should make a Bridge app with a version as same as the youtbe app ( 4.05.002 ) I don't know how to modify the version of the apk bridge app. I tried to do that using a app on my phone but when I tried to install that app it told me that the app didn't have the same signature as the previously installed youtube app
