Wrong app version for Android TV? #190
|
I just found out about this app and installed it on both PC and Android TV. However, as I understand it, the TV app should have 2 versions; one with the interface of the mobile and PC versions, and a receiver. However when I install the app from the Play Store, or sideload the APK from Downloader, it seems to only be the receiver app. Should this be the case? Is there a way to get the app/apk for Android TV that has full functionality? |

Hey, the PlayStore version is just receiver as of now. If you sideload via Github or Downloader you need to choose the correct version. aftv.news/8281651 has the full app version. Make sure you click "Exit receiver" on the bottom left to get to the main menu :D |

OK, understandable. In regards to the Downloader suggestion, you might need to double check. I tried both versions. Despite the difference in package names, they appeared to be the same apk. So much so that when i tried the 2nd apk, it merely updated the one I installed initially. |

Can you try uninstalling the app first and then downloading the proper one via downloader again? (Android version numbering could cause issues when trying to install one over the other). If it still does not work please send a photo of what you are seeing |

So I downloaded both, and transferred to my TV: Started with the regular app, it installed fine: It takes me to what looks like a receiver: I uninstalled it, then installed the one labelled receiver and got this: Receiver app version: Regular app version: |
please do this :D |

By God! It worked. I feel so dumb now. Tbf, it didn't work the first time round. I guess the uninstall and reinstall fixed that. Thanks for the assist! |

Now that you "unlocked" the normal settings you can go there and disable the receiver screen at launch. I personally keep it on as i mostly stream to my tv since my tv is pretty slow and the app quite laggy |
|
You're right, it does have some severe lag. Not a prob, I'll take that advice. |
|
yeah that has to do with large provider data and the app not being native but a webview thus being limited in performance |
please do this :D
