Is it on the normal Google Play page, it says it’s not compatible with my android TV if that’s the case - the TV is the Phillips device greyed out here:
Way too old Android version.
TVs are not Phones, people don’t replace them as often, manufaturers have been shipping older versions of AndroidTV for a long time too (Sony Android 10 as recently as 3 years ago).
All the apps on my home screen are up to data and function just fine and play 4k video.
Netflix and prime still update on this as does Youtube, IPlayer, Twitch, MUBI, even the “ARTE” app that came with it.
If people threw out TVs as often as they do phones we would be drowning in them.
The newest Android version on Android TV is 12, this is 10. That might be an old version for phones but for TV it’s reasonable, Android TV isn’t just on little fire-stick devices and dodgy TV boxes, but also built into huge amounts of actual TVs.
Sony was still selling Android 10 TVs three years ago.
Still, I understand that backporting stuff is a pain.
Android 10 is supported, install directly from the TV, I do not control what Play Store do.

Just tried the app for my Android TV (Sony TV). So far, it works fine. One thing, how do I re-order item? For example, the item inside the Home menu. It seems it is not yet possible using the TV remote, am I correct? Is there alternative way? Thanks.
Edit the style on a phone or tablet then import on the TV.
Any plans to publish the app in Amazon app store for Fire TV devices?
If not, is there a recommended way to get the APK for sideloading just to give it a try?
I’m experiencing a bug in 13.5.0 TV (227576). The song title and artist no longer appear on the TV in screensaver mode. The TV is driven by a Google Streamer device.
This would not be a problem except that the presence of this song title also convinces the TV/Streamer to stay on. Without it, the TV shuts off after 15 minutes.
This previously used to work, but suddenly it failed. I don’t know if the problem was caused by a Symfonium update, I didn’t check the version number before.
Yes, I restarted the app and rebooted the Streamer. Didn’t fix it.
