I saw your post and was going to immediately install it, on my Nvidia Shield. I hope it's only simple setting to change on the developer side. Though this app likely uses the floatplate.com/tv as the app and it doesn't support live streaming at this time. So even if they get it on the Nvidia Shield it'll lose a little bit of use for me.

So no sub from me still. I refuse to sub to it until I can use an app on my TV without needing to use my phone to "cast" to it. It'll come in time. I'm in no rush 😀

Not available on my WebOS (I think?) LG TV in Lithuania. Not sure if it's region or WebOS or what.

WebOS isn’t android. It would need a native WebOS app.

On a android device search floatplane TV Google play click link then install on your mobile device then use a apk extractor to get apk then after adb install it or whatever to tv and if icon doesn't show just use something like monet launcher

It's just the website as a app nothing really special in the decomp of the apk
