    Currently it is the Android Phone Google Play. Most of the apps are unusable without a mouse. Android TV apps are usable with the Zidoo remote.

    Get a Bluetooth mouse - £10 ish with a sender - you'll not look back :)

    I have a Rii airmouse which is even better than a mouse for this use. But I would rather use a remote it's just easier to use.

    I use my mouse on my armchair and together with my Harmony remote, I haven't used the Zidoo Remote for ages. I accept it's good but it's not up to the job of controlling installed software

    Dang you can write a lot. I hope you're paid for it. Do you mean it's impossible to install Android TV (non-phone) apps from Google Play on Zidoo?

    Just read the Appendix-C. The answer is NO but yes on other brands like Dune.

    No, I do this just for fun.

    I'm using USB Audio Player Pro (UAPP) with no issues whatsoever. I've linked my TIDAL (HiFi Plus) account to it and get really excellent results - my cheap Bluetooth mouse: - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08R617RDJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 interacts with my Zidoo excellently but because this is tightly fitted in my HiFi housing, I bought these to make it easier for the Bluetooth signal to get through: - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0734JC4J2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I did use TeamViewer before and tried without much success to communicate with my Zidoo using the supplied Remote. These days this remote lies idle and when I do need to use a remote, I use my Harmony Elite. This may sound obvious (in which case I apologise in advance), but Android TV is available on Play Store as I just checked. Whether it will work, I don't know.

    Hope this helps

    I thought Nvidia Shield uses Android Leanback? Shield has Android TV Google Play Store.

    I think Shield TV uses Android TV as their OS. This seen their GUI and including Voice Control both typical Android TV.

    Maybe somebody can confirm/contradict this?
