Guest Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hey, as the title suggests the Emby for Fire TV app on my (german) FireTV Stick suddenly expired even though I bought the unlock via inapp purchase a month ago. It seems to correlate with the FireTV system update I got a day before (54.1.2.0_user_120060220). In the app settings it shows "Version 1.0.53a Expired". On the backend I'm running a Ubuntu Server (Version 3.0.5641.5) and I'm able to play files to the same FireTV Stick via side-loaded Kodi with emby addons. The Unlock purchase is visible in my amazon account and I repeatedly uninstalled/installed the app as well as cleared cache/data of it. Reboots of the Stick nor the server brought any changes. I also tried to "sync content" from the FireTV settings. My connection to amazon seems fine, as I can stream movies. I'd appreciate any help. If you need any logs, please say so. PS: What I haven't tried yet: Can I go through the unlock purchase without actually rebuying it? I was asked for my PIN so I guess it would cost again? Google Play would have a "restore purchase" page popping up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14902 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yeah, I'm not sure exactly how Amazon handles the re-purchase situation. Hopefully, it is the same. Please try it and, if it charges you again, I will find a way to refund it and still keep the validation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the PIN input it checked that I already bought the item and returned to the beginning of the dialog. Nothing was charged, but the app ist still "expired"..

Guest Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Well, today I made a factory reset- and after inputting all the passwords with that tiiiiny remote (why is there no WPS, amazon!) everything seems to be working again. I hope it stays that way even though I'm still curious what happend in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
