My Android TV box remote is wonky so I thought about installing my IPTV subscription into my Android Smart TV HiSense. I tried everything but nothing worked. Uploaded and downloaded the APK file using GDrive, put the APK on a USB key etc The TV never sees the APK file eventhough I tried all the filemanagers in the play store and enabled install from unknown sources.
@Headspark Any idea? I think the file managers I tried aren’t displaying APKs.

Maybe I should just buy a Fire Stick or a new Android TV box for like 30$. Mine is almost 10y old and only has Android 5. Now there is Android 12.

Usually theres an “Enable ADB Debugging for Developers”?
You can sideload the apps then off the USB port.

This is all Chinese to me. The only thing I understood was USB.

You mean connecting the TV to a computer and using ABD to install APKs?

You might be better off getting a firestick then, and google the tutorial. I suppose it depends on the model of your tv.

I just found out that the APK wasn’t fully transferred to the USB key. Now it works. Thanks!
