Publishing Your Android TV App in the Play Store

Introduction

Muvi offers a fully-featured, white-labeled Android TV App. The Android TV App has features like user registration, login, search, filter, etc. We support Android TV App based on Android OS version 9.0 onwards.

Note: At present, we do not support any embedded content from a third-party platform for the Android TV App. We only support Mp4, HLS(.m3u8), and MPEG-DASH video formats.

How We Prepare Your Android TV App

First, you need to purchase the App. You can do it from the CMS. (Go to "Billing" --> "Muvi Subscription" in the CMS and select the app under "Application". Then, proceed to "Checkout”.) If you have already purchased the App, then you can skip this step.
After purchasing the app, you need to enable it (Go to "Settings" -->"Advanced" in the CMS, select the checkbox for the Android TV App, and then click on "Update").
It takes us one day to build the App by using our default template. (If you want any customization, then it may takea longer time to develop the App)
After the App is built, we will send it to you for testing
Finally, after getting your approval, we will publish the App in the Google Play Store
