markethelper or use a computer with an apk downloader and then use a sd card, and sideloader.

The problem I'm experiencing is region blocking. I cannot download some apps because they are not available in my region. I've tried a few apk downloaders however I have not been able to find one that is capable of downloading Android TV apps. Do you know of one which does?

well then dunno,good luck,i saw same answer on nexus player thread soo...
There is a BBC iPlayer Android TV app available for the Nvidia Shield TV, but I have not been able to locate native versions of the following:
All4, ITVHub, Demand 5, RTÉ Player, 3Player, and TG4.
Versions of these apps for *regular* Android exist, and they can be sideloaded, but using a mouse or game controller stick to navigate these does not appeal.
- Do versions of these apps exist that would work properly on the shield, perhaps sideloading Sony Android versions, if that is even possible?
- Is there a complete list of Android TV apps available for all regions somewhere? Browsing to the Google Play Store link for same does not provide this.
- Anyway to check if native versions of these apps are in development, or to request them?
*Just to add, Kodi is one of the main reasons I use the Shield, there is a well working ITV addon for it, two BBC iPlayer addons, and a half working Irish TV addon. Unfortunately, even the ones that work properly cannot compare to the experience provided by the GUI of a full featured regular Android or Smart TV app.
These apps are available for the Android Amazon Fire TV, but until someone is kind enough to extract these apps and share I think we're stuck without them
Perhaps contacting nVidia to see what they can do?

I have never owned a Fire, but I have just read Fire OS is based on Android, and it is possible to sideload apks onto the fire. Would the Fire apps actually work on Android TV, and do you know if it is possible to extract them in the first place?
I will see if I can find the best way to contact Nvidia on this, be via email or their forums. In the meantime I have emailed the developers of the existing regular Android apps, asking if they could consider developing a native version for Android TV. If anyone wants to email expressing their interest in same it may help, here are the email addresses:
[email protected]

You could perhaps send them something similar to:
Hi
Could you please consider developing a version of the <insert app name> app native to Android TV? There seems to be a native app for every other platform, but the regular Android version of the app does not work on Android TV, which runs on for instance the Nvidia Shield TV, because it is aimed at touchscreen devices, rather than allowing the user navigate using a remote control.
Thanks
It seems this is possible, and I have requested this here:
Extract Fire TV APKs?
That said, someone else made a similar request and there is no indication on the thread this was fulfilled.
Perhaps an owner of a Fire TV would be willing to help us? Instructions on how to do this are in the linked thread!
I live in Scotland, and the STV Player app works fine on the nVidia Shield. But I'd also like these apps.
My5 works, too. however the app thinks it is a phone and it won't rotate out of vertical mode.
You'd think these companies would make a better effort at pushing apps for use on native Android TV.
Apps from
Amazon Fire TV
Sony Android TV's
will work on the nVidia shield for sure, but no one is able to provide them
If you look on the forum of the thread I linked to, other Amazon Fire apk requests have been fulfilled. I would be surprised if no one will help us out.
I really should have made a new thread there requesting these but it seems on XDA I cannot delete my post, and I do not want to cross post.
I have asked the mods to remove my post on the old thread, and created a new thread requesting these apks from an Amazon Fire TV owner. Voicing your interest in that new thread may help encourage someone to help us!
[APK Request] All4, ITVHub, My5, RTÉ Player, 3Player, and TG4

Have you tried using rotate this? It forces phone apps to be displayed as landscape.
So are you saying if there's a version that works with the amazon fire tv that it'll work for nvidia shield too?
I've tried to sideload the apks from my mobile devices before but with no joy.
We now have virgin tv and this doesn't support the full all4 and itv apps, only the past 7 days. Our TV also isn't supported so it would be really good to able to use these apps with the shield.
Would someone be so kind and upload the new Nvidia Shield ITV Hub App.
Inhave all the uk catch up on my shield using vpn from Ireland but the one I cannot get is all4 or 4player.Cant get it ti work even on the mobile app.
Is there a shield apk for all4 in 2018 ?
Just so you know all4 detects rooted devices even with magiskhide

Same request, could someone post or pm that APK from the shield, I want to see if it works on my Philips android TV ?
Nvideas own shield webpages say its available on the play store, and so it got me wondering if there's now a version optimised for use with remotes but not in the android TV play store for my device ?
I've tried extracting from my fire TV, but they won't install on other devices because they are linked to fire os,/app store
Thanks
OK so after nearly 4 years "my5" has had an update today that now makes it unusable on shield - so my5 is out of the equation
And my5 is back lol, well I downloaded the my5 apk from fire TV and Installed on shield, purchased my5 on amazon website through the browser on my gf's s5, then installed appstore and logged in on shield. After this my5 opens and works perfect, is actually way better than side loaded version by far - just need all4 to be remote friendly and I'm set. All I can seem to find are apk wrappers for all4 fire TV apk
Can someone please upload the latest My5 apk version 3.0.0.88.

Here you go...
Anyone have a copy of the latest TvPlayer (tvplayer_v4.5.1)...
Thanks
This APK is a modified version of the Vimeo app on the Fire TV. It works perfectly on Android TV devices, it just lacked Android TV launcher compatibility.
I've added that compatibility in, and a banner image for the launcher, in, so that it works seamlessly without having to go into the sideload launcher.
Here's the APK to download

If anyone's interrested, I used this tool to add the Android TV functionality:

I second this request!
thanks. it's very kind of you :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your effort. Vimeo just officially added support for Android TV in their latest beta.
- Just join the beta for Vimeo.
- Go to the Vimeo play store listing in a browser (not the play store app). It should say the app name is "Vimeo (Beta)". Click the "Install" or "Installed" button. This should give you the option to choose which device to download the app on.
- Pick your Android TV device from the list
- It should show up on your Android TV within 5 minutes

Thank so much

I think you must to extract tv firmware and mod it, because it is obsolete, i have the same problem.. I want to install app and i can't, and i think it's possible to activate "hdr" with an upgade, and i want to do, but i do n't know how to extract firmware (xscuse my English, i'm italian) i have experience with mod firmware, mod app etc..
The model i have is GRAETZ GR43E5600, and i think that with the help of xda developers we can do this
Has anyone been able to get Fortnite installed? I check the specs before I bought the tablet and the tablet does meet the specification.
I am still trying for one. Best try is to download the android version from the official epic games website. Huawei Media pad M5 IS able to open apk files. I hope this helped.
BTW my channel is Frostz I have 30/31 subs and around 150 videos. I WILL upload when it's done.
I cant play say it's not suported
How do u play?
Still not supported
Same here, after installing, it is not supported
