Solid Explorer now works with Android TV

You mean it's now been tweaked specifically for the Android TV OS? I've been using it as a sideloaded app for almost a year and it's always worked quite well for me despite it not being an "official" Android TV app.

*Edit: I just checked the Play Store on my Nvidia Shield and noticed that someone developed a leanback launcher shortcut for SE. No official Android TV version though. I guess that's just as good considering that SE already works so well on the Shield as-is as I've previously stated.

Nice. I just installed it on my Mi Box. Can't install unlock though, so it says I'm on the trial.

I bought Solid Explorer before but currently use X-Plore, which is, IMHO, the best file manager out there. With tons of features, I really love it. You can even start a wifi server so that you can drop files on the /sdcard using http address (like http://your_device_ip:1111) and you don't need to connect the device to the PC to transfer files or use wifi adb.

If you donate 3 or more beers (about $4.05), all the advanced features are enabled in X-Plore. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

I just installed it, When I launch it I see 2 windows side by side with the files and the orange plus circle in each one. Pressing any of the navigation buttons don't do anything and then the app silently closes on its own a minute later.

It works for the most part, but I've been unable to set my favourite views on either panel. I can just about do it, except I can't get down to the option at the bottom of the screen to save what I've selected.

So does FX File Explorer too btw! Latest update (a day or 2 ago) made it Android TV compatible.
