What device is it installed on. That looks like the “Security” settings of your “Apps” app, not specifically the widget to open it. So for my Shield Pro if it isn’t on the home page there is a row that has a + beside it and it’s there and I don’t want it on my home screen. Or I click the hamburger button on my remote to open “Settings”> scroll down to apps>see all apps>installed apps>scroll down to Sportsfire>click on it and a window opens with some app onfo like open, uninstall, storage used etc.
Above image is from Samsung mobile. There is no option for Open, so I could not open the app in any way. Need to find a solution for mobile.
However, on Tox3 Android box, I can open the app only from Settings>Apps. Is there any way to get the app on Home Screen? Tried with Shortcut Maker app but even it could not find the Streamfire app on its list of apps. Google is making our life more miserable lol.
Oh ya I think it was noted that streamfire isn’t for phones or tablets. Not a mobile app.

Yep. Doesn’t work on tablets or phones. I’ve tried it several ways, even made my own launcher to open it and it still wouldn’t budge.

Streamfire and Sportsfire have channels in 720p only. Do you know any other apps for Live Sports that have channels in 1080p resolution?
My Shield Pro upscales everything. My IPTV service has a ton of 4K. I don’t use any apps for live sports other than TiViMate.

Is Tivimate only an app or does it provide live sports too? Or do I need iptv subscription to use on Tivimate?
Tivimate is just an IPTV player that you add content to.

So is your iptv with 4K content (I need only sports) the cheaper ones from Alibaba available here in Troypoint or is it something more expensive one?
I didn’t have any luck with alibaba. My service lasted for about 3 weeks then I gave up on it. I would look for Troy’s best Sports sites or Sports apps and look at the offerings.
Ola Tv is great for sports as well. Takes a bit of learning but it’s free. Can’t say if they’re 4k.

Is there a way to extract m3u’s from the StreamFire or SportsFire app
for use in TiviMate for Multi-view?
I’m not saying it is impossible, but think it would be difficult at best. There are ways to extract from streaming sites, but not sure how that would translate to a streaming app. You could do some research to see what is out there. I think it would be easier to purchase an IPTV service with that content and much more. Also, you could try these:

You could try and disassemble the apk and find it in the strings. Or if you have a Windows computer you could try changing the extension to zip, unzip the contents and rummage around.
Thanks.
I’ve read about doing that disassembly, or using MX Player to expose an m3u if there is one (But no External player option on these apps).
I’m looking for an easy trick.
Seems like with all the wizards out there someone would have come up with a way
to easily expose the m3u.
I’d bet there is no m3u to expose, or it’s well hidden or encrypted or something like that.
Yes, it’s more than likely encrypted if you decompile. But you could also try sniffing the network traffic while you’re connected. Many different programs for that. There’s not really an “easy trick” with an apk if someone has the m3u url well concealed.
Not sure why you would want the m3u playlist of StreamFire/SportsFire specifically, when every channel contained there in can be found for free in places like Github already precompiled for you. Here is an example. BTW if you do a search here on TP for M3U you will find all sorts of free ones with a bit of reading.

Well I’d say most of the channels in these two apps are NOT available easily.
Specifically nfl, golf channel, syfy channel, etc etc If you have these please send me a copy!
The github m3u’s have many channels but they are mostly like this:
Only free channels
If a channel is normally only available via commercial subscriptions it has nothing to do in this playlist. If on the other hand it is provided for free to everybody in a particular country, then it should be in this playlist.
They are out there, but it does take work on your part. If none of these work then the obvious option is to buy the IPTV service of your choice. Learning how to decompile an app and gain access to the playlist is a daunting task. Again, it can be done but takes learning and reading GL2U.
