Using Tailscale on Android TV?

by ronschaeffer

Is anyone successfully using Tailscale on Android TV? I've seen some Twitter posts showing Tailscale running on Android TV, but I cannot get it work on my Nvidia Shield with Shield Experience v8.2.3.

I have sideloaded the most current version and launched Tailscale with Sideload Launcher. Upon launch, the app shows a blank white screen indefinitely.

I also tried a version from February released shortly before the date of one of the Android TV/Tailscale Twitter posts.

Tailscale should launch fine (I have on my ccwgtv), but it needs a pointer sim/hardware to control. I use Zerotier instead since it's more convenient to not toggle mouse control.

Tailscale now works for me since the Shield Experience 9.0.0 update (Android 11).

However, you'll need to use a mouse pointer to get started and navigate the app. You can use the trackpad in the Shield TV app on your phone.

FYI Tailscale now works with Android 11 on the Nvidia Shield. You will need the puffin browser installed to get signed in and a mouse to interact with the app
