Total Commander for AndroidTv

Post by *jeuslein »

Hi, I just purchased an androidtv box, (Jetstream) but it won't read my macOS formatted HDs (HFS+). I found out the Paragon software would give me access to my discs, but in order to do so, I need to download Total Commander, the thing is, TC is not available for my device. I wouldn't mind to pay for the software, knowing it is the only way to access to my drives.
My question is, is there any way to download it for my TV box? an older version, a beta test version, a paid version, anything would do it for me.
Or, is there another way to access my drives ?
Thanks.

Just download the ARMv7 APK from the Android page and sideload it onto your Android TV, works perfectly.

I'm not officially supporting Android TV because it misses important functions to write to USB media (the so called storage access framework). I would get a lot of negative reviews in the play store for someting I cannot control. Side loading the app as 88keyz suggests is fine, though, I support using the app on Android TV via TV remote.

Greetings from Leipzig,
I also downloaded the APK install file for TC4A from https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
So, as far as I get, Android TV does not support writing to an external USB drive? Can I change the Andoid TV firmware to a common Android firmware (similar to the one I have on my phone)?

It depends on the vendor. On my Xiaomi with Android 9 it just works, but most other vendors seem to block it off.
