BT TV App No Longer Working - Magisk

Hi All,
I first came across Magisk a while ago when my BT TV app would not work because my phone, (HTC One M8 running LineageOS 15.0 / Android 8.0), was rooted. I used the "hide" option back then and the BT app then worked OK.
I don't use the BT app much on my phone, but it has had several updates I think? It is now on version 3.1.1, and when I try to play a video on it it says "We can't play titles on this device because of security issues. (GS013). According to BT's website, GS013 means: "Jail-broken, rooted, and devices using developer versions of operating systems aren't supported by the BT TV App"
BT TV is still ticked in Magisk, though I did try several combinations of untick / reboot / tick / reboots etc to no avail. I also tried installing an APK for an old version of the BT TV app that used to work and using Magisk to hide root from that but that also failed to play video.
Has anyone had any success in getting the current BT TV app to work on a rooted device or can offer any suggestions please?
TIA
Paul

Have you tried the hide magisk manager option from settings? This is the one that repackages the manager app as well in the event that the BT app was detecting and failing root checks.

Just to confirm, that as of the end of October 2018 I have got as far as logging into the BT TV app and My BT app on my rooted Lenovo Tab 4 as follows:
In the app properties for both apps (BT TV and My BT) I cleared the cache and storage before uninstalling and rebooting.
In Magisk I used the option to Hide Magisk Manager from settings.
I then downloaded both apps and installed but did not open.
In Magisk, I selected both apps in Magisk Hide before rebooting.
Both apps then opened and let me log on.
Now working on getting playback working on BT TV app...

I realise this is an old thread but I wondered if you ever got BT TV working? I'm stuck with error code GS016 when I attempt to watch anything.

4.4.4 Stock-rooted Nexus 4 mirror = FC

Guys, I've searched XDA a lot, google too and didn't find anything. I need some help with screencasting/mirror.
I own a N4 with stock 4.4.4, rooted, with Xposed framework and CF.Lumen app. Everytime I try to mirror/screencast my phone to my chromecast (plugged directly to my TV), Google Play Services crashes with the "stopped unexpectedly" message, and the TV screen goes black.
I've tried lots of stuff, like:
removing CF.Lumen;
using the mirror enabler app FC fix;
using the mirror enable app remaining options;
uninstalling and reinstalling chromecast app;
disabling HDMI-CEC on the TV (Anynet+, as it's a Samsung).
Even with mirror enabler quicksettings option turned on, the tile never appears, regardless of GravityBox being active or not.
Casting from Allcast, Play Movies, Netflix, Google+, Youtube, Remotecast or any other app works perfectly. No issue at all.
I never installed Viper Audio (found a thread with it being the reason for screencast not to work) and audio.r_submix file is present (it's the stock ROM).
I feel like I may be missing something really simple, but I'm really lost.
Chromecast app version 1.7.4
Google Play Services 5.0.89 (1307510-036)
Chromecast firmware 17977, powered by an USB power adapter, plugged directly into one of the TV's HDMI ports.

TuneIn App

So I got the Pioneer 8100NEX setup last night. After flashing OxygenOS on my phone (BlissPop wouldn't work due to the DPI issue) I am up and running with Android Auto. However, when going through the music app option all I have is Google Music. The other main app I use for tunes and general listening is TuneIn which, while installed and apparently should work, is not showing up. I searched the settings for TuneIn and didn't notice anything obvious. Is this a Pioneer setting I am going to wait for or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
I realize this is a dusty post, but did you ever get TuneIn to appear in AA? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P.
Allow me to spray some Pledge/Endust on this topic as well. I have a Moto X Pure Edition running TruPureXMM 2.6 and I just purchased a 2016 Honda Civic EX with Android Auto built-in. Everything about it works great: Maps, Hangouts, Play Music with voice search, the whole thing. EXCEPT: similar to the posters above, when touching the Audio button to see other apps, the only app listed is Google Play Music. I should also note that I have multiple Auto-compatible audio apps in addition to TuneIn Radio Pro; I also have BeyondPod, Pandora, and iHeartRadio. None of them appear. Google support is non-existent at this point, which is a little unsettling as more and more carmakers are offering stock options with Android Auto.
I'm not any kind of expert, but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of having a rooted and/or custom ROM installed. Mine is stock based for my phone but it is rooted and I see that the OP had a custom ROM as well. I don't know what you are running @monorailmedic. Any information or assistance from someone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Do you have any adblock app running on your phone?

I do have AdAway. I will try disabling it the next time I am in my car. However...

Curiouser and curiouser. I will mention that I tried disabling USB Debugging and that did not have any effect.

Disabling AdAway had no effect. However, I believe I have resolved the issue.
I mentioned that I have TuneIn Radio Pro, but I did not mention that I got it through the Amazon App Store rather than Google Play. (It was a free app of the day many moons ago.) I installed the regular version of TuneIn from the Play Store and...voila, it appeared in Auto. Same thing with the other apps - I had installed them outside of Google Play, and apparently Auto doesn't like that. Reinstalling through the Play Store got me up and running.
I don't know if that scenario is also your issue @monorailmedic, but mine has been resolved this way.

I too got the Pro version from Amazon years ago when it was a freebie. I'll try downloading the version from the Play Store in the morning. I wrote to TuneIn today, so if this is the issue, it'd be swell if they provided me the key to the newer pro version via the Play Store.

In fact, I mentioned a possible block because IMHO the apps for Android Auto can't work if they aren't able to contact the Google Play store for license activation.

Interesting... Besides license validation of protected apps (which the dev controls) this is the first instance I recall hearing where sideloaded apps won't work.
Developers of AA compatible apps can't just sideload either, even just for testing. App has to go through Google Play as a special AA beta test.
Google requires that all AA compatible apps (and their updates) be tested by them and approved for not being distracting. This is part of their protection for that. Sideloaded or Amazon etc. apps can't be guaranteed to have gone through this testing. (Actually an MD5 of the APK or similar could be done, but that could be abused on rooted devices and Google prefers everything goes through Play anyway.)
So, how are you all using TuneIn? I've been immensely disappointed that there's no favorites/presets list available via AA. Nor is there even the recent stations list available. So, how in the world do you access the stations you want? The lists that are available seem really truncated and have only strange channels I've never heard of. I was able to use voice commands once but now that isn't working and one of my stations wasn't accessible that way either. So, the whole app seems to be essentially useless to me via the AA interface. Bluetooth streaming still works, but defeats the purpose and of course then there's no access to any of the other aspects of AA.

I too have the pro version from Amazon, which i got for free. In order to get it to work with Android Auto you have to install it using google play as the vendor. Same goes with other apps that you sideload
1. Install Tunein Pro from Amazon Store.
2. Save the apk installer file using es Explorer. hxxp://android.stackexchange.com/questions/75360/is-it-possible-to-backup-apk-from-an-installed-application
3. Uninstall Tunein Pro
4. Reinstall using ADB hxxps://pixplicity.com/setting-install-vendor-debug-app/
I tested it and it works
You can also "unblock" non-play store apps in AA. Open AA on your phone, then go to "information" then tap many times on the upper bar... it will reveal "developer options". Now tap on 3-dot menu and set developer mode. You should see more apps through car headunit.

Problem with Media controls with HEADUNIT App and CARSERVICE App

Neither of them work. They make the toast notifications but don't do anything. I used the Xposed MTCB module but that doesn't work with pocket casts and it only works with one app at a time. Does anyone know how to use those media control apps? I have a youtube video below which shows me attempting and failing with the HEADUNIT and CARSERVICE apps.
I have exactly the same problem. Have you found any solution?
Do you have any functionality with those buttons in any application at all? Or is it just those 2?
Have you tried this with another music application, such as PowerAmp?
Have you updated the ROM to the latest version from Malaysk?
Also, what is the make and model of the headunit you have?
First thought I had is, quit the one app that you're using, then open another app and try again. The stereo may get "confused" if you have more than one app open at a time.

Question - how to make app compatible with android auto

Is there a way to make an app that streams TV channels to work with android auto? I have screen2auto and aa aio tweaker installed and e.g. youtube works ok in my car's headunit. For some reason this specific app only works with audio and subtitles, but the video remains black on headunit. I'm suspecting some sort off "aa blocker" built in app, but no idea if there is some tricks to make it work. Any ideas what i should try?
Already created module with smali patcher with secure flag and installed it with Magisk and installed liboemcrypto module as well. After that i was able to mirror (not casting) the video using chromecast to my TV, but that didn't work with AA even i thought it would. So please, help me get this app work in AA
In case somebody is struggling with similar problem, i managed to solve the issue with TaiChi and DisableFlagSecure module.

Any way to run 3rd party apps on AA with rooted Pixel 6 Pro without jumping through hoops?

Hi. I've been trying to run CarStream and Fermata Player on my Hyundai Santa Fe with my rooted Pixel 6 Pro but everytime I try to start these apps on my car, the apps keep force closing on my phone. If I patch using AA Phenotype Patcher and reboot, the apps work fine. But I have to do this every time. Can anyone suggest a way that I don't have to do this everytime I connect my phone to the car? I have tried cloning the apps using Lucky Patcher, tried using an older version of Android Auto, King Installer, AAAD, etc. But everytime I need to patch or clear data of AA in order to get 3rd party apps running in my car.
I have the same problem but haven't found a solution. All third party apps keep force closing on the latest AA 7.1 and even 6.9. and 6.8 refuses to run without updating itself to 7.1
Let me know if you find a solution
I did discover a fix by accident. So this is how my 3rd party apps run without any patching or clearing data again and again:
1. Fully updated AA on my phone using Play Store.
2. Downloaded CarStream and Fermata Player using AAAD.
3. Cloned the apps using Lucky Patcher and uninstalled CarStream and Fermata Player.
4. Installed patched versions of CarStream and Fermata Player using King Installer.
5. Patched CarStream and Fermata Player using AA Phenotype Patcher.
6. Uninstalled all the updates to AA from Play Store.
7. Connected my phone to car and updated AA when prompted.
That's it. From that time Carstream and Fermata Player stopped force closing and are running on every drive without me having to run the patches and rebooting the phone again and again. Let me know if it helps you too.
