App stopped working on Kindle Fire HDX 7"

[Lupo]

After the latest automatic (!) update, the app fails to start on my Kindle Fire HDX 7".

Error message:
"Unsupported device. The application failed to load native libraries."

Could you please fix this? Thank you!

Hi. I have the same problem. Recently started getting the same error, "The application failed to load native libraries."
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro (2014/2015 model) with Android version 4.4.2.

Unfortunately we are no longer able to support Android 4.4.2 as Android 4.4.2 doesn't support TLS 1.2 which became a standard in 2008.

We can't guarantee how well it will work, but we can find a link for the older version of the app that can be sideloaded. Failing that, I think VLC still supports Android 4.4 and does a pretty good job, though it lacks a channel guide.

Thanks for the replies! I would like to try loading the old version if you could link it.

You should raise the minSdkVersion from 19 to 21 when compiling the app to prevent it from being installed on older Android OS's without TLS 1.2 support.

Ah nuts, now I remember that's why we raised the requirements. That means older versions of the app won't work.

Nick, can you post the apk version that last worked with the HDX?

Doesn't really matter version of app... the servers require additional security to communicate with them that old "android" doesn't support.

The very old paid app might work to just play channels from the tuner with virtually no ui/guide/dvr support with only channel names from the device but you would be better off just using another dlna player.

I can confirm the minSdkVersion is set to 21.
