Synology Photos Android TV APK does not work

[raju1988]

I got Synology DS 218 Play. Synology Photos APP is working fine in my iPhone, but when I downloaded the Android TV APK from Synology Photos (Android TV) 1.0.1 (nodpi) APK Download by Synology Inc. - APKMirror , the installation is successful but the APP is not visible anywhere in the installed applications. I found this problem both in my Android TV as well as on Bluestacks.

My Android TV is from Skyworth with Chinese OS, so I had to side load the app using ADB INSTALL.

Any one got this APP working in their TV by sideloading?

Update: I realized that this APP is not working on any android device. And the latest orange color app that I installed on Android TV is design for Phone, so operating it is painful. Looking for Android TV version of Synology photos that actually works.

Try one of these (not APK Mirror but, Synology itself).

Thank you for sharing, the CN apk worked well for me, as I am in China right now.

on a side note: it would be nice if there is slideshow option in Albums. Currently I had to press next button on remote to view each photo of the album.
