Thanks to u/brentl99 for this resource. I can now stream from my streaming apps while iFit is running on my new Commercial 1750, purchased December 2022.
Shame on NordicTrack for not making this possible out of the box. I don’t care what your good reason is (licensing, iFit subscriptions, etc.). It’s the year 2023 and it’s absurd. I am embarrassed for you and especially for the poor engineers you force to implement your stupid policies.
There is perhaps too much information on the wiki and some important details missing (e.g., where you actually get the streaming apps). Also, the wiki assumes a working knowledge of networking, command line ops, and basic Android concepts, which I have from a former life but I’m sure is a bit much for some. So here is my shortened narrative and comments, in case it is useful for anyone else.
- Access privileged mode. This was possible without reinstalling iFit. I just went to settings and did the tapping. I did have to use getresponsecode.com.
- Install ADB on my laptop. I downloaded it here.
- Eru is the iFit Admin app.
- Connect using the instructions here.
- I received a
failed to authenticate to [10.0.0.19:5555](https://10.0.0.19:5555)
warning when connecting, but it seemed to connect fine. - I did not receive any on screen connection notifications that had to be accepted.
- I received a
- Using ADB, create a wolfDev directory using the command here.
- IIUC, this step is not actually necessary when using Taskbar, installed below.
- Download Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu here.
- I downloaded the latest “nodpi” versions for Android (not Android TV).
- Install apps using
adb install <apk>
. - Download and install Taskbar from here, again using ADB.
- Enabled start on boot and freeform mode.
- Pinned streaming apps to recent apps bar.
- Add the update sites here to my router’s block list.
That was my experience, feel free to ask questions.
