Version 1.11 is initially for Google TV devices on Android 3.2 / 4.2. She has long been outdated, like her screenshots. :-)
Versions 5.xx for Android TV (these are "certified") and Amazon Fire TV.


Not one of the versions is not suitable for phones and tablets. : rolleyes:

I tried it in Laxy iptv, neither the torrent tv, nor the simple channels opens, there is nothing in the settings that can be tweaked.

I changed my device (Android 5.1.1 prefix) to Google TV, it became available in the market (70.00 UAH), I see version 5.55, screenshots, I make a purchase - all of a sudden the icon, version and screenshots change to version 1.1.1, in the installed 1.1 too .1 also in English. Is this a defense? Make a version for consoles, and many will be grateful to you.

I xs, in general, how the market works.
In the Manifesto, to 1.11 there is a filter for the "google.tv" feature (I don’t remember exactly what they say), and in 5.55 a filter for the "leanback" feature (it is on all official Android TV).
Making a version for the remaining (Chinese) set-top boxes is difficult, because Google Play will not properly filter them from tablets.


About not good, I mean the interface is not sharpened for them.

Consoles have remote controls, there are no problems with navigation, only the mouse does not fit.

Yes, and where are the consoles - I'm talking about tablets. : rofl:

I'm talking about tablets.

Here is an example: there is such an application MEGGO in three versions: for android TV, for android boxes, for tablets / phones. I can’t download the box version on the tablet, just from the box, it throws me onto the phone version. So filters?

Maybe you do that?

Android TV:
<uses-feature android: name = "android.hardware.touchscreen" android: required = "false" />
<uses-feature android: name = "android.software.leanback" android: required = "true" />


TV box:
<uses-feature android: name = "android.software.leanback" android: required = "false" />
<uses-feature android: name = "android.hardware.touchscreen" android: required = "false" />
<uses-feature android: name = "android.hardware.touchscreen.landscape" android: required = "false" />
<uses-feature android: name = "android.hardware.screen.landscape" android: required = "false" />

In the second case, I don’t really understand what prevents you from installing on a tablet ...
However, it seems to work somehow. On the Nexus 7 TV Box version is still not visible.

Autorate works only through the "official" API. It is only in Android 6 and Fire TV.



Rep: (29)
So what to do with non-launching applications from the header of this topic on samsung note 2 and on the set-top box?

* TMC ,

Thank you, it's a pity, it's strange that it works on Mx Player, but it's not here.
