Hello Volumio Community!
First of all, I want to give my compliments to all the developers of Volumio.
I have been using this app on my Raspberry PI3+ for a few weeks now.
I have the following question: Is it possible to use the Volumio app on an Android TV/box?
I have tried to get the app working through an unofficial way (installing the android * .apk manually via usb). Unfortunately, the app keeps saying that it cannot find a Volumio device, even when manually setting the IP address.
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).
I use a Hisense android tv hooked up to ethernet to output to my home theater. It would be very nice to be able to just download volumio from Android Play and be done with it.
Maybe poll paid up users to see how many other people would like this functionality?
