● REEL HOUSE

Install on your TV

Public-domain cinema, plus your own pages and streams side by side. Built for a remote.

DOWNLOAD THE APK

OR TYPE THIS INTO THE TV BROWSER

tv.rivrafrica.com/a.apk

Reel House 1.3  ·  4.1 MB  ·  Android 5.0 and later
package com.reelhouse.tv

ON THE TV

  1. Turn on Settings → Security → Unknown sources for whichever app will open the file — the browser or the file manager.
  2. Open the TV's Browser and go to tv.rivrafrica.com/a.apk.
  3. When the download finishes, open it and approve the install.
  4. Reel House appears in your app grid.

IF THE BROWSER WON'T DOWNLOAD

Some budget TV browsers refuse to save files. Two ways round it:

adb connect TV-IP-ADDRESS:5555
adb install -r ReelHouse.apk

UPDATING LATER

Install a new build straight over the old one and your resume positions and saved sources are kept. Reinstalling only fails if the APK was signed with a different key.

● MOONLIGHT

Screen from your Mac

Pairs with Sunshine running on your Mac to mirror its screen on the TV — for anything Reel House's browser can't play.

PAIRING

  1. Install Sunshine on the Mac and open its web UI at https://localhost:47990 to set an admin login.
  2. Open Moonlight on the TV — it should find the Mac on the network automatically.
  3. Selecting it shows a PIN on the TV; enter that PIN in Sunshine's web UI to pair.
  4. Moonlight then lists "Desktop" as something to stream.
