Android TV setup guide
Use the TV-specific listing rather than assuming a phone APK supports a remote. Keep access details saved before reinstalling or removing an app.
Use a television-oriented listing.
Android TV app discovery uses its television Play Store. A phone listing or a sideloaded interface is not automatically a supported remote-control experience. Check the actual device listing and whether its account method matches the details supplied to you.
The platform guidance below describes the manufacturer’s route. Current StarShare compatibility for the selected app, account and device still needs confirmation.
Before entering account details.
- Open the TV's Apps area and Google Play Store.
- Inspect the confirmed TV app listing.
- Install or update it through the displayed store controls.
Keep the hardware model, operating system, app publisher/version and account method together. Installing a player does not itself supply a StarShare subscription or a separate platform membership.
Use an observable first test.
Test directional focus, selection, back navigation and playback controls with the television remote.
After installing the confirmed compatible app, contact StarShare through WhatsApp to request the one-day free trial. Use your normal screen, output path and network. Check one known source, compare another permitted item and record the time of any failure.
Preserve credentials before changing a configuration. A refresh, app restart, data-clear operation and full device reset can have different effects. Use the actual platform prompt and avoid destructive recovery as the first diagnostic action.
Platform references and checking scope.
