Does anyone have the apk for the Mediaset Play app for Android TV?

by MrPoliSciGuy

Been tearing my hair out searching for this app - the APK exists because Mediaset Play does support Android TVs since it supports Sony, Panasonic, and Phillips TVs (all of which run ATV), but for the life of me I cannot find a self-contained APK with the TV interface. The most I've been able to do is sideload the tablet app which works... not well.

Just to head off the "just cast it" suggestion - we're not in Italy ATM so that won't work unfortunately.

This app is one of the weirder ones I've encountered in that the TV version doesn't seem to be distributed on Google Play but rather it uses HbbTV 2.0 and MHP to add the app to a Smart TV. That said - if someone somewhere has used this new service on one of those Android TVs and could pull that APK for me, they'd be doing me a massive favor.

EDIT

Doing a little internet sleuthing - I've found that this app is built into TIMVISION Boxes, which run forks of ATV (my understanding is that it's just a different launcher, but fundamentally it's still ATV). If anyone has one of those they'd be doing me a solid!

Hello, I'm not sure about the apk, but a workaround to have a usable interface would be to install kodi and on it Mediaset plugin. The interface is not fancy but it would bypass the starting ads and it doesn't require a login account

You're sure it's not through the HbbTV and not a real app ?

I can't believe Mediaset doesn't have a Ott stand alone app for the apple tv or Google tv and the rest of them. If Rai has one there's no reason why they shouldn't.
