Android iplayer downloads

There have been versions specific to certain hardware, such as the one for the Nvidia Shield or those you can get on Sony TVs, but there's still no official generic version that works on any ATV device. Or so we thought. Thankfully, there's a new version of the app that's compatible with Google's new hardware, just in time for launch. This BBC help page shows that the new Google streamer is certified for use with iPlayer, although that may only refer to the cast functionality.

Reports from users now point out that it's possible to sideload this version of iPlayer on other Android TV devices. It's not officially available for the Nvidia Shield which has its own version of the app , though, and there's no point sideloading it there as it's the same as the version compatible only with Shield devices in terms of functionality.

It doesn't look like the new iPlayer app supports this feature, but perhaps it's something that could be added down the line. It looks like the new BBC iPlayer app also integrates with this feature, thankfully, so there's no need to rely on casting from your phone any longer.
