Fixes Media display without SSL in Android 9 (Pie)

[begner]

This one fixes issue #21 #20 #12 , because they all belong to http on Pie - which needs the cleartext allowance

@rogro82 Could you merge this PR and update the version on the Play Store? That would be awesome!

[Lucifer06]

Agreed, I also lost a lot of time before I found that the limitation was on https.
It would be so nice to update the Playstore with this fix. That would save me (and for sure many others) headache.
Many thx in advance.

Had the same problem after upgrading my Android TV OS to Pie. @rogro82 could you help to update the Play Store version? Thanks!

[therealjogi]

I totally agree - @rogro82 it would be wonderful if you could update the Play Store version.

Happy to see Im not alone.
@begner as you introduced this fix, and see that you made a fork, could you help providing a binary or may be make it available from an alternative play store?

@begner

Is there a way to get this to auto start? I can't figure out how to get sideloaded apps to auto start other than with 3rd party apps like "Launch on Boot" or "AutoStart No-Root".

On my tv it starts when it was running before shut down/restart. So I started it once - an since then it’s running (except Firmware updates - in that case i need to start it one time)

Yes....it's the same for me. The power button on the remote puts the TV in standby, so the app stays running when I turn it back on. But if I reboot, or as you say a firmware upgrade, then the app needs to be manually restarted.

Not a big problem. I just have to remember to restart the app if I ever reboot.

Do I just run ADB install with this apk you've posted?
