Always the latest version: the links update by themselves when a release comes out.

Requirements

  • A TV or box on Android 10 or newer (Android TV, Google TV)
  • An ARM processor: most modern TVs have a 64-bit one
  • An internet connection
  • A current Android System WebView: it is usually already installed and updates itself through Google Play

How to install

  1. Pick the file

    Download CineTV-<version>-arm64-v8a.apk: it fits almost everyone. For older 32-bit devices (for example, some Xiaomi Mi TV models) there is the armeabi-v7a build.

  2. Move the file to the TV

    The easiest way is a USB stick: copy the APK to it, plug it into the TV and open the file in a file manager. You can also download the file on the TV itself or install from a computer over ADB.

  3. Allow the installation

    If the TV says installing from unknown sources is blocked, tap Settings and enable the permission for your file manager, then confirm the installation.

  4. Launch it

    Find the CineTV icon in the app list. On the first playback the app may show "Connecting to the site…" for a few seconds: that is the source check, there is nothing to press.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Which APK should I choose: arm64-v8a or armeabi-v7a?

Start with arm64-v8a, it fits almost everyone. If the installer says the app does not suit this device, take armeabi-v7a.

The APK will not install. What should I do?

Check that installing from unknown sources is allowed for your file manager. If that does not help, try the other file (arm64-v8a or armeabi-v7a).

The site check never finishes

Update Android System WebView in Google Play on the TV.

A source does not open or takes too long

The site may be blocked on your network. In Settings → Providers turn it off or set another mirror. At least one source must stay enabled.

How do I update the app?

The app offers a new version when it starts. History, favorites and settings are kept. You can also update manually: Settings → App update.

CineTV on other platforms

Movies on Windows

Run the installer or unpack the portable version. You need Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit. .NET and the video player are already inside the app, so there is nothing else to install.

Movies on macOS

Open the .dmg for your Mac: Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) or Intel. macOS 12 Monterey or newer is required. The builds are not signed yet, so on first launch you confirm opening them as the guide describes.
