how do you install astro on the go on your android tv?

sideload with es file explorer astrogo version 8.0.42.

Thanks

Downloaded 8.0.4.2 and installed via es file explorer, but when i open the app i got the message ‘unfortunately astro on the go has stopped’ and crashed.

Any ideas why?

I hv seen this many times.

Can u tell me what device, tv, internet speed u hv?

A Sony Bravia KDL-43W800C with 50mbps internet speed.

if not mistaken, this sony is androidtv android5.0.

it should work like my sharp android5.1.

first, uninstall any previous astrogo version as other version will not get installed unless u remove existing.

try below which i shared with other sharp users.

let me know u did it!

Tried this but it still wont play.

Still, thanks for the help.

sorry to hear that.

perhaps the tv and android version is too old?

becos afaik, all current devices using google androidtv will work.

Hmm mine shows a login, registration and skip button.
Click login diverts me to Opera browser to key in login and password. After keying and click login. It just stucks in the browser page.

Am using sony 50w800c.

did u install the 2 other apps - indic keyboard and orientation from playstore?
former is required; if not, it will get stuck.
latter is required to change from portrait to landscape.

btw, what apps could u sideload to work? can do hypptv everywhere?

i am a bit surprised if u cannot get astrogo just like another sony 800c user.
androidtv should work, like sharp's ue630x range, and boxes like nvidia shield and mibox that use androidtv.
the explanation may be android 5.1 or higher is required.
anyway, this astrogo app is picky - won't run on just any tv or box.

How's the quality?

in the end its the built in Opera browser problem.
i sideload chrome browse and after login and it works

Nicely done!

Ha..... i do not know this opera thingy....

Yes, sideload is good!

Want to mention that I just realized there is setting in the video quality. Selected medium high and the high resolution then the picture quality becomes more acceptable.

Also on my rooted phone, I installed magisk and enable magisk hide, Astro go becomes working properly. Unable to test it on my TV box as on my box I dont have TWRP so it is difficult to install Magisk and so on.

what u get at best is 480p - that's what is broadcasted. (only720p and above is classified at HD.)

and on a small device, 480p is very acceptable; even 360p is.

astrogo has no problems working on phones and tablets, any version, afaik.

the challenge is boxes and smart tv's.

Do you mean the Astro Go will run more stringent tests on tv boxes and smart tv, than when running on the phones ?

astrogo works on ipads android tablets since 5 years ago.

even now, just install from playstore, will work.

it used to work on boxes in the beginning, then no more.

i way i understand it, apps like astrogo and hyppewhere are purposedly designed for portable devices only.

it is an issue about the app compatibility with the device's firmware.

(and nothing to do with root-unroot like many still think.)

a minority of boxes are compatible; majority are not.

and afaik, devices incl smart Tv's and boxes running on androidtv will work.

the explanation is probably astrogo/hypp wants to get approval to get their apps into this platform typically used by premium devices..

"androidtv" is a google controlled platform, much more restricted than the generic "android os", playstore is different.

got minix neo u9h...
good quality !

How do you explain that previously when I run it on my SuperSU rooted phone, it did not work but subsequently I removed SuperSU and changed it to Magisk and hide Astro Go from seeing the root, then it just runs fine ? I tested on the older version and the latest version of Astro Go from play store, they both works.
