Google Play situation

This is released with so few changes because Google rejected the last update, again.
They keep contesting minor issues with Android TV. The last instance was claiming that the play and pause functions don't work (on-screen or the remote control keys? dunno, they didn't say).
I have verified that these work as expected multiple times in the emulator.

As a result of this mpv-android has been depublished from the Play Store for Android TV.
You can still install the APK manually using e.g. Downloader.

⬇️ Which APK do I download? ⬇️

Unless you have an old device, you generally want to get arm64-v8a. Try armeabi-v7a otherwise.
x86 devices are very rare. If you are unsure or require compatibility then the universal APK will work everywhere.
