Sideloaded apk on 2017 shield: logged in with qr code library says I haven't purchased anything. Now says library not available errors loading your library wait a moment and try again. Searching a movie you own and try to play results in spinning loop. Playing anything in up next is just a spinning loop. Apple tv+ original I tried played plays for a bit then says video not available. Pressing skip intro will say video not available.

Apple TV came earlier on Google Chromecast than Google's Stadia 😂

Side loaded and tested on my Verizon Streambox, the application loads, and NON-DRM protected videos (trailers, etc) work, DRM protected content does not.

Also the library page is broken.

Seems to be the Play Store link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.atve.androidtv.appletv

EDIT: confirmed it installed fine on my Chromecast (I'm in Belgium).

Sideloaded the APK from apkmirror on both Sony X90F and Xiaomi Mi Box. On the Mi Box throws a connection error at launch. On the X90F the app loads and I signed in effortlessly via the QR code. But when I try to play something I get the endless spinning wheel. My Library (purchased content) won’t display as well. Bummer, I hope a modded apk will be released or Apple extends support for a broader range of devices. Trailers do load so I suppose it’s DRM related.

Just installed on CCwGTV and only issue for me is only getting 2.0 PMC audio, I tried Deadpool 2 and Kong Skull Island and both should be Atmos. (HDR and Dolby Vision are working correctly though)

Update: not all bad... just tested some Apple TV + content Greyhound and The Morning Show audio are in Atmos - hoorah. So hopefully purchased movies will get fixed.

Does AirPlay supported on "Chromecast with Google TV" after the app released?

I have tried to side load the new Apple TV app on a standard Android TV device and it looks like the Application has been intentionally nutter by Apple. The Apple TV logo stays in the middle of the screen. And no movies or TV shows are working.

The app works fine on my new Chromecast that has Google TV but my older Sony TV that just has Android TV under OS 9 of Android is not liking the app when i side load it. Apple has said that they will release the app to older Android TVs later but I was going to try and see if I could get it to work now even if it had some bugs.

Has anyone found a way to get it to work on an older Android TV?

App sucks. Video quality is crap. I cannot understand why I get crisp HD on my iPhone and iPad while the android version streams only crappy SD.
