USTVNow Android App

This is some pretty basic front-end code to compile from and sideload a Cordova .apk file for running especially on the Amazon FireTV.

It essentially <iframe>'s what exists on the USTVNow website, but overrides some JS and CSS to allow a more friendly user experience on media viewing platforms like the Amazon FireTV.

Note: Logins via all available methods (USTVNow, Google, Facebook) are handled through the cordova-plugin-inappbrowser window. It requires no direct code interfacing with this app... so your credentials are guaranteed to be confidential.

Prerequisites

You should already have an understanding and system setup for compiling Android Cordova apps.

Setup

Run this to get plugins and platforms initialized pre-compilation.

cordova platform add android

Build/Installation

Note: You'll first have to enable your device for 3rd-party APK installs.

Run these in terminal:

• cordova build android
• adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <- IP address of device
• adb install path-to-file.apk (use flag -r for reinstallling)
  • Commonly at: platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk

Quick installation

As long as you trust that the .apk file was built from this source, download the .apk from this repo and sideload it to your device.

Remote Control Behaviors

• >>: Toggles between fullscreen and guide
• <<: Downgrades and loops video quality from "Auto", "High", "Medium" to "Low". Use this if you're experiencing playback issues.
