Recommended by your apps row on Fire TV

WizardGamesTK · March 28, 2024, 6:31pm

Hi there,
We’re trying to implement the Recommendations feature as described here: Send Recommendations that Include Amazon Extras (Fire TV) | Amazon Fire TV

Our app is registering five recommendations with a channel assigned properly (I can see them having been created in adb), there are no parental controls enabled, and I have the developer row enabled. Still cannot see the Recommended By Your Apps row to show up.

Is this feature still active on Amazon Fire TV? I have seen posts elsewhere on other forums speculating the feature has been killed. If so, the documentation should reflect that.

Otherwise any suggestions as to why it might not be working would be much appreciated.
Below is the adb log of the current notifications state on device, in case there any clues there that I may have missed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi TK,

Thanks for posting. Fire TV Recommendations feature is still available.

There are two requirements: (1) an app must broadcast recommendations and (2) there must be at least 5 recommendations to display. One or more apps can broadcast recommendations, but in order for the Recommended By Your Apps row to appear, there must at least be five recommendations in total.

For more information, please see the Recommendations FAQ.

Hi Emma,

Thank you for your response. As I mentioned in my original post, the app in question is broadcasting recommendations, and there are more than five. I can verify this via Android debug bridge commands and see the recommendations in the system. However the row is still not appearing.

I have downloaded other apps that might recommend content, and still I haven’t been able to see any.

Having looked at the Recommendations FAQ, I do not see anything that is at odds with how we are trying to broadcast recommendations. Do you have any other suggestions for what might be the issue, or different means of debugging the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Looking into this further, I came across this page for Amazon Fire TV device specifications, which states that recommendations are disabled for AFTV Stick Basic Edition:

" However, the Basic Edition doesn’t ship with an Alexa Voice Remote, and the UI is simplified with more of an app-centric experience. For example, the “Recommended By Your Apps” rows that is normally populated through Recommendations isn’t shown."

This suggests the availability of the feature depends on the device type.

@Emma Do you know if there is a list of devices where the recommendations feature is enabled? Or a list of devices where it does not appear?
