I need help capturing traffic from an Android TV app

by MuchRandomWow

I'm working as a QA manager in a software development project for an Android TV app and I need to capture the traffic the app makes for debugging purposes, but i cannot make it work.

The steps I followed to no result were this, if it is useful:

○I've rooted the Android TV
○I've decompiled the app and recompiled it with the android manifest file that allows custom trust ○certificates
○I've formatted the fiddler trust certificate to a .0 file, pushed it through adb and authorized it through adb shell

When I enter my pc IP as proxy, I lose internet connection, when it should give me internet access and capture the traffic through fiddler

Has anyone had this problem before? Is there any error in my process? Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your help

It sounds like you need a network tap (SharkTap for example) and Wireshark. /r/networking might be a better place for you.
