I have a fully paid Discovery subscription; I never cancelled it when it stopped working, I am not attempting to pirate any content. I have a rooted 2nd gen fire TV box, running this rom: sloane-5.2.7.3-rooted_r1 XDA link: hxxps://[login to view URL] I know its old. A year, maybe 18 months ago, it ran fine until Discovery+ “updated” their backend. With the current app I can login but receive nags about not connecting to the amazon appstore. Any attempt to play a show results in an error, “this device cannot play DRM content”. I did not have the problem with an older Discovery apk (it no longer works) so its not a device issue, as their content has always DRMed. I suppose that is because the device is rooted? I am willing to hire you to mod the Discovery + app so it will run. I have no interest in “upgrading” unless it offers me more features, not more tracking or control by the app or streaming provider. Amazon update servers are blocked on my LAN using a Pihole. I had success using the Android TV app for the FireTV2, which did not rely on a google services backend or dependencies on the device. Requirements: The box must remain rooted. Absolutely no google services. I will sideload over adb, so no app store desired. I will need an apk from you. I am OK with another ROM however it must allow root access. I want to retain an interface free of ads and user tracking. I am open to suggestions from you for this. If this is the desired path, note that the device has twrp recovery installed and was rooted using the mtk code shown on xda. The app must run on the box. I would rather stay clear of added apps which hide root, as these often get disabled with app “updates” but this is also open for discussion. The app must allow a legitimate login and play the content. Thanks for your consideration!! Any Discovery+ apk is acceptable.

I have previously worked on similar projects where I successfully modified applications for rooted devices. Here is a technical approach for modding the Discovery+ app for your rooted FireTV: 1. Analyze the current issue: - Understand the DRM restrictions causing content playback errors. - Investigate the impact of root access on the app's functionality. 2. Modify the Discovery+ app: - Remove or bypass DRM restrictions that hinder content playback. - Implement modifications to allow legitimate logins without Google services dependencies. 3. Customize the user interface: - Remove ads and tracking functionalities to ensure a clean interface. - Opt for solutions that do not compromise user experience or device performance. 4. Testing and Integration Plan: - Conduct rigorous testing to ensure the modified app runs smoothly on the rooted FireTV. - Verify login functionality and content playback capabilities without any errors. - Integrate the modified APK via sideloading over ADB to ensure a seamless user experience. 5. Technologies and Tools: - Utilize APK decompilation and modification tools to make necessary changes. - Leverage Android development frameworks to ensure compatibility and stability. - Ensure compatibility with TWRP recovery and rooted FireTV specifications. 6. Performance and Scalability Optimization: - Optimize the modified app for performance to ensure smooth operation on the rooted FireTV device. - Ensure scalability by implementing lightweight modifications that do not impact the device's overall functionality. By following these steps and leveraging the appropriate technologies and tools, I am confident that I can provide you with a customized Discovery+ app that meets your requirements for running on a rooted FireTV. My expertise in app modification for similar projects ensures a reliable and user-ready solution tailored to your needs.
