Introduction & Problem Overview
In this article we are going to talk about how to download an application on your TV when that application is not available on your TV's Play Store. Browsers on TV are not that optimized, so in this article, we will first download that application on our mobile phone and then send that application to our TV and install it from there.
Setting Up "Send Files to TV" App on Mobile
First of all, we will go to the Play Store on our mobile and search for "Send Files to TV". After opening it, you will see a tutorial on how to use it. From there, we will click Next, done and allow the permissions. Now we have set up this application on the mobile.
Downloading TV-Compatible Apps on Mobile
Now we will go to the browser and download the application that we want to send to our TV. Keep in mind that the application you want to download and install on your TV must be TV-supported—meaning it should be optimized for TV and built for TV. If you send a mobile application to your TV, it won't work properly because it is optimized for mobile, not for TV. So only download applications that are TV-supported and built for TV. Now download "Smart TV Android App". Go to download section of browser and remember application name you just download.
Setting Up "Send Files to TV" App on TV
Now we will switch to the TV and go to the TV's Play Store. Search for the same application: "Send Files to TV". Open it, skip the tutorial, and allow permissions here. After allowing permissions, we have set up this application on the TV as well. You must keep this application running on your TV; do not close it.
Sending the File from Mobile to TV
Go back to the mobile phone and click on My Files. Type the name of the application that you just downloaded. Tap and hold this application, click Share from the bottom, and select "Send Files to TV". Click on your TV or Android Box name. The transfer is taking place, and now it says "Succeeded"—meaning your file has been successfully transferred to your TV.
Installing and Verifying the App on TV
On the TV, click on that application and open it. Press the Install button to install it. After opening, our application has launched. We can check whether it is working properly or not. All our channels are showing up here.
Organizing the App on TV Home Screen
On the TV home screen, click on Apps to see the newly installed application. Hold down the button on your remote on that application and select "Add to Favorites". Everyone's TV and Android Box can be different, so there might be slight differences in settings. After adding it to favorites, the application starts showing up on the home screen, where you can arrange or place it wherever you want.
Conclusion
If you want to download any application from a browser and find it difficult to do directly on TV, you can simply download that application on your mobile phone and transfer it from your mobile to your TV.
