Hi Guys,
I invented the following (unofficial) workaround to install the Volumio android app on an Android TV / Box
What do you need:
-
The Volumio Android phone app.
I downloaded version v2.6.52 from android-apk.org
Volumio 2.652 APK Download by Volumio | Android APK
Copy this on a USB stick.
-
Install via the Play Store of Android box / TV the app called Downloader
With this app you can later assign the hidden Volumio app shortcut on your Android TV.
-
Install the app TV App Repo via Downloader
Requirements:
The Android TV / Box is NOT connected via Ethernet, only via WIFI (requirement of android phone - app). Of course the TV is connected to the same network as the Raspberry PI with Volumio.
Known Issues:
Of course the Volumio app is not built for your TV/box… deal with it.
Download the Volumio * .apk from the android apk website and put it on a USB stick
Installation steps:
On your Android TV go to the source USB and install the * apk on the TV.
On your Android TV go to the -> Play Store -> download + install the app Downloader (from AFTVnews).
Open the app Downloader en fill in the following URL at: GitHub - ITVlab/TvAppRepo: An app repository of Android TV apps
Download the TV App Repo from Git Hub. Select the *apk for ‘playstore’ (scroll down to releases)
Open the TV App Repo App, now you see the Volumio application.
Click on ‘ Create Shortcut’.
Done
