Working good here. Working links, no ads.
Version 3.0.1r

Still working for me with few issues… My only beef is when you watch a video, then back out and watch another, then back out of that one it goes to the first one again making you have to back out of it again. Kinda frustrating.

Anyone having issues with any stream that’s not a “Direct Stream”?

I went into the APKTime then went under entertainment to obtain the flix vision update and it downloaded spy dog flix vision now I have uninstalled three times and am getting car ads and none of the links work

Thought others that use this app as I used to might want to know that they may be unwillingly being robbed of bandwidth. Found this on another site.

Malicious code in Flix Vision app

### Type Bad sites ### Add additional context Decompilation and source …code analysis was performed on app version v3.0.1r, retrieved from the official source that is provided on FMHY (https://linktr.ee/flixvision), using [jadx](https://github.com/skylot/jadx). A few months ago, [users reported on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/firetvstick/comments/1f7ywx3/flix_vision_293_apk_has_potential/) that the Flix Vision app was making unsolicited network requests (signs of internet sharing/botnet). Being a reverse engineer myself, I decided to look into the latest version of the app and check for potential malicious code. I have discovered that the Flix Vision app has code that, at the developer's discretion, can remotely enable an internet-sharing SDK called TraffMonetizer that runs in the background. This turns the users of the Flix Vision app into exit nodes for residential proxy services that can perform web scraping and other malicious/illegal activities [1](https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/security/news/vulnerabilities-and-exploits/how-residential-proxies-and-captcha-solving-services-become-agents-of-abuse),[2](https://www.orangecyberdefense.com/be/blog/unveiling-the-depths-of-residential-proxies-providers), using the user's internet connection, without their consent or knowledge. The developers of Flix Vision get revenue from TraffMonetizer for selling user's internet connections. The following is the flow: On app start and in the background, a configuration file is retrieved which has the base settings for Flix Vision. There is a primary and backup URL (t.ly/gcCVh, github.com/fvision8/publish/releases/download/12/conf.json). ![vmware_C8iTyNOmZD](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7fd877b7-d65c-41f6-8e06-c2f59c84831e) ![vmware_2VVYIGLN7f](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/66e32207-d9af-4e4b-8716-daec699aef01) As of 1/11/2025, the JSON file returns the following: ![vmware_QepRzUBSIx](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3b06ef09-c428-46a7-96a2-8132bc4c3dba) Take note of the traff_sd value. Once retrieval is complete, parseRemoteConfig is called. At its core, it's nothing special, but there's this code that checks the traff_sd boolean and sets it accordingly in pref_traff_1. It also initializes a new package with a key if it's true, and stops if it is false. What is this "hy1" package? ![vmware_84jpn0QwyI](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c45f6134-7953-4288-bcd3-9ac50a44ceb0) Looking into the package, it is initializing the TraffMonetizer SDK. ![vmware_b19j1KyIQ4](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ed18f2b5-71c1-4bbf-b9f2-cef17fd5fe78) Per [TraffMonetizer](https://traffmonetizer.com/for-developers/): > After integrating our SDK your free users will be sharing a tiny portion of their Internet bandwidth with our network (you can adjust the maximum shared traffic in your dashboard) - and we will pay you for this traffic. This isn't the first time an Android app has been (mis)used for this purpose, but in some cases the app asks for consent. Flix Vision clearly does not. I would recommend removing Flix Vision from the FMHY directory https://fmhy.net/android-iosguide#android-streaming, or at the least flagging a warning for this code being present as there are a number of users that may have installed this app on their Android TV device, especially as it was spread pretty widely on YouTube and various sources.

Miki · 2025-03-22T18:23:29.210Z

Tx Papa much appreciated. I have uninstalled my Flix Vision and won’t use it again.

sktn77a · 2025-03-22T18:51:00.657Z

Can this be verified? Also, this is an older (modded?) version of FlixVision - 3.0.1r.

Miki · 2025-03-22T18:58:13.210Z

It is the 3.0.1r as shown in the link PapaS gave. Same one I had so gone.

sktn77a · 2025-03-23T14:30:45.375Z

The latest version is 3.1.0r.

Miki · 2025-03-23T14:43:56.445Z

Yup but the malicious code was in the 3.0.1r and so I had that release and deleted it out of an abundance of caution. I will wait to see what happens with the 3.1.0r. Tx. @sktn77a did you happen to see any scans for this release?

Timwort · 2025-03-23T14:53:37.888Z

@Miki, I did a scan and VirusTotal reported 6 hits, most were ad related but I use TDUK’s blocker.

I mentioned before I always force close it after I use it and I pay close attention to traffic through my router, no activity when it is closed, but as always, security is a personal responsibility so I am not trying to tell anybody else to use it.

EDIT: scanned 3.1.1r with VirusTotal, 5 hits no actual confirmed malware. But as I have said before, not encouraging anyone to use it.

sktn77a · 2025-04-22T20:12:17.275Z

So what’s the deal with all the seriously obnoxious ads on FlixVision in the last week-or-so? It started on Flixvision0 streams but is now on Flixvision1 streams, too. I see the original website (Flixvision.app) is down and out so maybe someone is modifying the currently available app to include ads now? It was bad enough when only direct links would play with any reliability but now with Flixvision riddled with ads, I think it may be time to dump it.

Cinema12 · 2025-04-23T17:56:26.382Z

Use ad blocker such as AdGuard or Adaway, I never have ads.

sktn77a · 2025-04-24T15:01:21.462Z

Well, everyone else on Reddit has ads! Sure, a paid adblocker may stop the ads but why the heck did they start with this in the first place (their website, now defunct, proudly proclaimed NO ADS).

Cinema12 · 2025-04-24T16:20:59.614Z

The two I mentioned are free. Check out fitetvsticks.com.

sktn77a · 2025-04-24T21:14:53.140Z

Adguard doesn’t have a free ad blocker for android. Not familiar with the other one.

Timwort · 2025-04-25T13:17:02.488Z

You can use dns.adguard-dns.com and it will block ads, on Android/Google TV I would use TDUK’s DNS switcher app.

On a Firestick you have to use ADB from a different device:

settings put global private_dns_mode hostname

settings put global private_dns_specifier dns.adguard-dns.com

or by IP using ADB:

settings put global dns_servers 94.140.14.14
(Up to 3 DNS IP addresses as a comma separated list)

That’s how to use adguard free, of course without bells and whistles.
