How to WATCH NETFLIX on Peloton + More! (step-by-step guide)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- In this video, we show you how to install Netflix on your Peloton, and much, much more. In this example, I'm using the Peloton Bike+ but the same basic outline should work for the original Peloton Bike and the Peloton Tread.
Disclaimer: this is not endorsed by Peloton. Your mileage may vary. Although it's easy to reset your Peloton back to defaults or uninstall apps, proceed at your own risk.
Shout out to wolfebaine on XDA for the split screen details: forum.xda-developers.com/t/pe...
In addition to Netflix, I show you how to install Google Chrome, iFit, and even enable split screen mode so that you can take workouts and browse the web or Twitter. And everything can easily be reverted to stock settings. In this tutorial, I use a Mac computer, but it's also possible with Windows. If you'd like a full Windows tutorial, let me know in the comments.

Nova APK: www.apkmirror.com/apk/teslaco...
Netflix APK: www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix...
Custom Navigation Bar: www.apkmirror.com/apk/paphonb...
Keep in mind that the Bike+ has a USB-C port, which will let you use a USB-C to USB-C cable. Older Peloton Bike's have a micro USB port, so you'll need the proper cable to connect to your computer.

While we realize that some of you do not use Mac, or may have individual issues using this method, we unfortunately will not be able to assist beyond what is detailed on this video at this point. We hope there are those of you who can help each other with further questions or help you may need.
90% of users don't use Mac.
Will this also work using an ipad instead of Mac?
@@sweetpoprocks no.
when installing the Apk it gets stuck at ( performing streamed install ) ! what am i missing mind me asking ? Thanks
for me as well. 😢
Thanks for this. So dumb of peloton to not realize that allowing people to use the screen for viewing other content is a huge selling point.
For real. they already pretty much force people into a subscription to their membership/app, might as well let people use netflix or hulu. It won't take away from their app, people will still use it.
100% this is why I hate this bike. You spend 2k on it and I have to watch what they want me to… no thanks
This is so well edited, clearly spoken; amazing work!
What if you are using a iPad Pro?
This is probably the first comment I ever made on youtube. Thank you so much for this brilliant, simple and well thought out tutorial.
Thank you SO MUCH! What a clear spoken, even presentation. You just increased the value of my brand new Peloton Tread x1000! 🙌🙏 WELL DONE!!!
I cannot get my computer to recognize my tread in the terminal
@@overton72 same.. you figure out?
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! If anyone is looking for a a REAL tutorial on how to add Netflix and other apps to their Peloton equipment, this is the tutorial for you.
Beautiful!!
I will subscribe, can’t believe it all worked first try and I’m not a computer guy by any means
Best tutor and tutorial out there! Amazing and thank you
For the amount the bike costs this should come standard with peloton! They should advertise the split screen.
It's not good for their business. They are content provider. Anything other than Peloton content will be eating their lunch.
😂
Any reason that says it’s not good for peloton’s biz to offer these solutions is short sighted. Innovate and give customers what they want otherwise someone else will.
@@USHSRailno surprise peloton is tanking
Just as a heads up, it looks like there's another barrier that must've gotten added with a recent update. When attempting to enable USB debugging I was getting an error message saying "Because an app is obscuring a permission request, Settings can't verify your response". In order to fix this, just go into Settings->Device Settings->Apps, click the gear in the top-right, then go to Special Access->Draw over other apps, then unselect both apps that are checked. You can then reconnect your USB cable, and enable USB debugging. Make sure you check 'remember this device', and then immediately check both of the apps again. After that you can then install any apps you want :)
Just knocked the dust off the old peloton and fired her up and nova launcher was gone. Was stuck with your error for about 2 hours. I should've checked the comments. Lol
This should be added to the description, thanks for the instructions
You can also just reboot / power off the screen. When you power back up, you will get the box again while it's booting and will allow you to check the debugging without this issue.
Did you get an error saying install app 24??
U tha man
I literally bought a second hand tablet to experiment with this. It was so easy. Thanks very much
what kind of tablet
Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Very nicely done Sir! A windows tutorial would be awesome 👍
There is a Windows download of the adb tools, just use that.
Yes please Windows tutorial!!!!
Hello, I can't get the compatibility test to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Great Video, Love the way you do!
Dude I've been looking for this for hours. Thank goodness you just uploaded. I have windows and will try it but if you can do windows that'll be awesome. Already subed!
Happy to help. BTW, it's basically the same on Windows. Just use adb devices (with no ./) beforehand. Make sure you're in the platform-tools directory and you should be good.
@@ConnectTheWatts You're right. The windows instal is just as easy. It worked perfectly. Thanks again.
@@ConnectTheWatts just got my Peloton tread today, my PC is windows if I have any issues would you mind helping troubleshoot? Great video, thanks!
@@ConnectTheWatts I'm not sure if the apk files or platform tools have updated since you posted, but I'm having issues on a PC installation for my original Peloton bike (Android 7.0). My first attempt, I downloaded the most up to date version platform tools, but ran into "Requires newer sdk version #26 (current version is #24)". When I ran "adb devices" it listed my peloton as "unauthorized". I was able to find an older platform tools file, which then listed my peloton as "device" when I ran "adb devices", but it still wont launch Nova. It's saying "C:\Users\abc\Desktop\tools_r30.0.1-windows>adb install C:\Users\abc\Desktop\com.teslacoilsw.launcher_7.0.57-70057_minAPI26(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,x86,x86_64)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install C:\Users\abc\Desktop\com.teslacoilsw.launcher_7.0.57-70057_minAPI26(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,x86,x86_64)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl558872343.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #25): Requires newer sdk version #26 (current version is #24)]" Any ideas?
@@casey-fz1pp DId you ever solve this issue? I'm having the same problem.
Hey, thanks a lot. Any way to get Netflix to work in HD. It only shows SD in settings for me? thx
Do that have an APK to cast from a device? I’m saving $50 a month and using the fitness+ from Apple. It would be awesome if I could cast it on the peloton screen.
Solid tutorial! Thank you
Tried to set up Custom Navigation Bar on Peloton Bike (NOT +). Failed Compatibility Test ( never got the little arrow at the bottom). Did I do something wrong or is that app not compatible with bike?
compatibility test for custom navigation on my peloton fails but rest was smooth. Thanks for putting this together. Great work
my compatibility test failed as well. Was wondering if anyone found a workaround for this?
@@MrMarcus2013 same here. What's the trick? Is there another Nav replacement that supports split screen that might work?
Someone here figured it out by now by any chance?
Yup same here, I also opened up the app, selected allow system settings modifications hoping that would over-ride the issue but no luck. Peloton recently had a Software update I wonder if that broke this feature from happening.
Same here! Great post. This final piece is what would make this the end all be all. Hopefully there’s an update.
I don’t get the arrow to move forward on the Nav bar. Any thoughts on how to fix it?
I’m having error when on adb devices it says unauthorized. How do I go about it?
super helpful. great tutorial
Great job! I've wasted quite a few hours trying to figure out how to get this to work and you explained it well. Did it on a Windows laptop, just drop the ./ before adb in the command line and you're good to go. My only issue was with trying to use Powershell to do this instead of running a command prompt...Poweshell worked fine connecting to the Peloton but was unable to install the APKs.
do you still have peloton subscription? APK install is allowed only when subscription is active.
I did have to reactivate my membership to have the APK even attempt to install. However, I am now getting the error that the install failed due to "requires newer sdk version #26".
Any ideas?
@@OLDB3N I used this from the @amhokies's comment
>The last Nova version to support Android 7 was 6.2.19 from May 2021. I was able to successfully install that version.
Essentially, don't take latest Nova apk. Look for Android 7 was 6.2.19 from May 2021.
Can you do a video? My peloton screen doesn't even show that I've connected to my computer
@@melchin9572 you probably don't have data cable. Get USB data cable and not just charging one.
Thank you for posting this! All my frustration towards Peloton has been channeled into hacking it, and I really appreciate this video :)
@Code Witness Were you successful in downloading apps to your Peloton?
@@cherubicchild5 hi! if ur still looking for your answer I did this super easily with MacBook and im literally 10 years old. Very easy to understand :)
@@aubzloll I don't have a MacBook
Well done, love it.
Awesome video. Thank you so much
Can I do this with my peloton bike + and my iPhone 13 max please???
Thank you
Feb 2024 update - managed to do this! Nova launcher, Prime video, Netflix, Google chrome installed and running. Nova Launcher set a s default launcher, and no issues getting back onto Peloton. Disney+ not working for some reason may try again in the future.
You NEED an active subscription to install the APK successfully. Tried it without an active subscription and it did not go through. Bit the bullet and tried again. Went through!
Thanks so much for this guide, it's breathed a new life into my Peloton. Very happy!
Great! What version of google chrome do you have installed?
I can't get custom navigation bar to work. Were you able to?
What if you buy subscription but then deactivate, will app access still work?
@@agustinbenitez2171 Yes
@@agustinbenitez2171 did u get it to work for u
I cant find the device when I tried connecting the computer to the Treadmill with ./adb devices. I dont get the prompt when connected as well. What do I do?
Awesome!! I just did it. Thanks!!
Can someone who has used a PC to do this process provide a bit more info about how this works on the PC? I got to the developer mode and the debug, I have downloaded the SDK tools but I can't get the cable to show the second option of allow debugging and then the command prompt won't work even trying to use extra pieces in others comments.
great job and thank you!
(10:18) In the case of Chrome, that means you'd not be able to sync your settings and other content over, so you'd still be able to go to website and such if you remember what domain it's at or if you just do Web searches.
If you can't dismiss such Google Play Services errors, then you may be able to just tap outside those dialogue windows to dismiss them. I've installed apps on some other Android devices that don't have them, like embedded devices normally locked in to specific apps, and have usually been able to do so.
For Firefox, which is what I prefer to use instead, I believe that has Google Play Services dependencies, though I haven't tried it myself with the Play Store version, nor with the version downloaded directly from Mozilla's own archice, but I instead use a modified version from F-Droid which removes a number of Mozilla annoyances and Google dependencies. Notifications don't seem to work on that version, but that's not much of a problem for me.
For Chrome, you might be able to find a Ungoogled Chromium build that should not depend on Google Play Services, however, I haven't tried that myself.
(15:37) I believe that's an Android limitation, in which it only allows 1 A/V session at a time without apps hacking around that limitation.
Has anyone had luck with the RUclipsTV app? I loaded the app in using the same instructions as in the video, but when I try to launch the app, I get the message "RUclips TV won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device." Any work arounds?
im stuck on "Performing Streamed Install". I do not get the success message at all. I am wonderin if a new bike is set up not to allow that. Well, Im returning it if that's the case.
I cannot seem to get the custom navigation bar to install. It says installing but never completes. Any idea?
Does this require am active subscription? I'm stuck on "performing streamed install". I've read others saying it requires the subscription. Please let me know.
this is perfect! i made an arm that attaches my iPad to the back of the pelaton screen. I don't have a subscription so I was using my iPad contents for entertainment while I ride, then use the "just ride" to monitor my ride. I will try this for sure!
Apparently you need a valid subscription to do this .. we’re you able to do it without a subscription ?
@@hismajesty3366 see below comments especially from "A Programmer" for more tips. It appears as though you must have an active membership to set this up.
Hi there I was able to download the custom navigation bar app but when I go to start the compatibility test, the arrow does not appear at the bottom and I get this message. "device not compatible with this app." Is there a way to still enable split screen or is my peloton bike+ simply isn't compatible with the app at this time? it looks like I am running android 10.
@kimt4712 did you ever figure out a way to make it work or is it just no longer compatible with the latest version?
custom navigation bar says not compatible with my device. the arrow on bottom does not show up. ?
If I’m on Netflix does the tap Apple Watch feature still work for analytics? Or do I have to manually set up my Apple Watch to exercise mode prior to cycling? Thanks for the video this is gonna be a game changer for me.
Any idea why I can’t download the chrome? Managed to get Netflix but chrome via the Apk mirror isn’t working can you advise which one to download,
I can’t get the navigation bar to download I keep getting - no such file? What does that mean? Thank you for your time!
I was able to download all of the APK's except the split screen. it keeps failing the compatibility test. I downloaded the version you provided. Do you have any suggestions?
thanks so much!
I would love to see a windows version. I do not know what to do after I download SDK software. This would be great to watch as I am riding.
A Windows version would be SO appreciated!
If watching RUclips in split view with Peloton running simultaneously, will Peloton still record analytics of workout, I.e., speed, pace, distance, etc?
Has anyone had trouble after Peloton upgraded to Android 10? The P and back buttons are now no longer working for me once in Nova Launcher, and the Android apps are a bit clunkier than before
Outstanding, THANKS!!!!!
Hi , thank you for the video , but i try to connect the mac with the peloton bike and doesn’t work .
Wow!! This is really cool stuff. Are these steps applicable to Echelon Bikes as well? I think both Peloton and Echelon are using Android OS under the hood. Do you think these additional changes can be overwritten with a new software update from Bikes manufacturers or these will stay in their own namespace? I must commend the way you have presented this tutorial, very professional with such a clean voice. Thank you !!
Great video! I noticed when I installed PLEX that the screen rotation went sideways. Anyway to fix this for app orientation?
Hi, I have Mac but don’t have usbc connection. What do I use? Thanks in advance
quick question. do I have to have a subscription with peloton in order to do the modifications on the bike tablet??. Cause it shows different menu options
When downloading Nova APK on my MacBook, I am getting an error pop up stating "There is no application set to open the document" can anyone assist with this?
When I go to download Chrome - I get this error: The term 'x86' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. Also, where can I find other apps to download?
Is there an update for the split screen part? The apk is not compatible with android 10, which currently is on my bike+
Please help! :(
The navigation bar didnt work with my 2023 Peloton Tread? Did i miss something to check in settings
Can you unplug the MacBook well Netflix still work on the peloton if u don’t got it plug to the MacBook after you install the way you did it ??
Getting failed to install error when installing Nova Launcher, any thoughts?
July 2023 and still can't get passed PERFORMING STREAMED INSTALL :( , can someone please help with this ? Really want to get this to work . Thank you guys
when my peloton screen tried to connect to the computer it said there was an app obscuring it in settings - can you help?
Hey my Mac won’t authorize the connection. Maybe because I have an m1?
Great video! I was able to get to the Nova Launcher part, but when I try to install that I keep getting an error message about "missing argument in parameter list" message. I've tried multiple nova launcher downloads. Is there a way around this?
Thanks so much for this video is there anyway you can show us how to do it from a Windows laptop
Is it true? This only works for the paid membership. I’m not able to install and I’m currently stuck in performing streamed install
Anyone manage to get the custom navigation bar compatibility test to work? I have searched everywhere to find a solution to this but still have not been able to solve it, the test just fails every time.
Is there an alternative to the Custom Navigation Bar? My Bike+ got an update to Android 10 and this is not supported by the Custom Navigation Bar.
Not working for me either. Still looking for an alternative.
Hi,how can I do the same but with a windows computer? Thank you verymuch in advance.
You are a Legend!!!!!!
Could you post the method doing it using a PC please ?
How can I remove echelon 21 updater from the tablet using adb commands from mac’s terminal
I connected my laptop and it never give me the option to allow always when I went to the terminal it says no such file or directory
fantastic video
The split screen is not working , pretty much followed all the steps …any ideas as well 😂? Thank you
just got the tread a few days ago... I inadvertently activated my membership so I immediately cancelled... Couple days later I tried this on a windows PC and it worked without reactivating. Only thing is the custom mav bar installed but said it was not compatible so I couldn't use that app. Also all video content RUclips(web version) , Netflix, Xfinity stream, HBO max all show in SD quality not HD. Anyone know how to fix this?
I am assuming that this does not affect the rest of the functions on the bike and the screen?
great guide! i wish the video wouldn't pause when using split screen during workouts.
Will this work even when you don't have a subscription to Peloton? From other videos I've watched the peloton screen doesn't have a place to go to settings unless you have a subscription
Great video
Thank you for this video. i noticed when watching videos on chrome it auto pauses is there a way to get past this?
I have a questions, a friend of my sold me her bike, but is soulcycle equinox+, i dont want to do the subscribe, do you think is possible to me do that to this brand without sign up subscription?
after dragging the nova launcher it gets stuck on "performing streamed Install" no success?
Currently having an issue with Netflix...all my other apps work but netflix closes immediately upon opening unless i reboot peloton and go directly into netflix...then itll play but once i keave and try ro go back in it force closes again. Any suggestions ?
Update: the workaround for now is instead of rebooting and going straight into Netflix you can force close the peloton app then open the Netflix ... Saves time rebooting.
Running into “performing streamed install” problem. It never ends loading
Great tutorial but I'm really struggling using my PC, could you do a Windows version of the video?
Did did this happen?
@@stanleylewisjr not that I'm aware, I ended up figuring it out on my own after a few weeks
have you tried adding zwift or ifit to it? is there tutorials for that?
my peloton bike isnt connectint to my computer, any suggention why?
On my terminal it says my device is offline after the serial number. How to I fix this?
You should do meditation content as well ha ha your voice is so soothing I have the bike plus I thought about doing this but I’m probably the only person in the world that does not have a computer so yeah there’s that. But I did put Spotify on the bike plus. I’m so happy I bought it I love the bike plus. I am blind so I use the accessibility feature on the bike I’m so happy that peloton actually thought about blind people and made this option available.
special Access->Draw over other apps, then unselect both apps that are checked. I did this step but skipped the step to put the check back in, now I have a blinking white screen, any suggestions
Has anyone got Spotify working on a Peloton tread? Would love to be able to listen / watch podcasts while working out. I can't seem to find a APK for spotify to load
Is this method working still as of 5/16/2022 ?! Do you still need “subscription” to do it ? I’m planning to buy a used bike without subscription . Please confirm
Can you cancel the $44 peloton subscription and use $12 digital peloton subscription on it?
How do you keep the apps updated? Do you have to download the newer versions or do you need to download Google play?
Hi there,
How can I download apps to my peloton Android ?
Thank You!
Can Peloton still track your workout progress in the background while watching netflix?
Thanks for sharing! Has anyone been successful with this on the original or 2nd gen peloton screen?
