Last updated: · By the WalisTV Support Team

WalisTV is a free media player made for Android TV. It works on smart TVs with Android TV or Google TV (Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips and others), on TV boxes like the Xiaomi Mi Box or Nvidia Shield, and on TV sticks. This guide shows how to install it, connect your TV and add your own playlist in about five minutes.

What you need

  • An Android TV or Google TV device connected to the internet. Almost all TV devices use an ARM processor, which WalisTV supports.
  • Your TV remote.
  • A phone or computer to open the WalisTV Dashboard.
  • Your own M3U playlist link from a source you are authorized to use.

Step 1: Download WalisTV on your Android TV

WalisTV is installed from walistv.com. The easiest way on a TV is the free Downloader app:

  1. Install Downloader (by AFTVnews) from the Google Play Store on your TV.
  2. Allow Downloader to install apps (see step 2).
  3. Open Downloader, type the code 7254182 and select Go.

Detailed instructions with screenshots of each menu: install WalisTV with Downloader. Using a Google TV or a Chromecast? Follow the Google TV guide. On an Amazon Fire TV Stick, use the Fire TV guide.

Step 2: Allow the installation

For security, your TV only installs apps from the Play Store by default. To install WalisTV, allow Downloader once:

  1. Open Settings > Apps > Security & restrictions (on some TVs: Settings > Device Preferences > Security & restrictions).
  2. Open Unknown sources or Install unknown apps.
  3. Turn on Downloader.

Menu names change between brands. If you cannot find the option, search your TV model’s help pages, or the official Android TV Help. Then go back to Downloader: the installation screen opens. Select Install, then Done.

Step 3: Connect your Android TV with the QR code

Open WalisTV. On the first start, it connects automatically and shows a QR code and your Device ID. You do not need to press anything.

  1. Scan the QR code with your phone camera. The WalisTV Dashboard opens with your Device ID.
  2. Select Check Device. You will see Device found and paired.

No phone? Open walistv.com/dashboard on a computer and type the Device ID. More details: connect your TV with a QR code.

Step 4: Add your playlist

In the Dashboard, enter a name and your M3U link, then select Add Playlist. Your Android TV checks for it every few seconds and opens it automatically. See how to add an M3U playlist for all options, including the optional PIN.

What you can do on Android TV after setup

  • Browse Live TV, Movies and Series in separate sections, with categories from your playlist.
  • Search categories and channels with the remote.
  • Use Continue Watching and Favorites on the home screen.
  • Change aspect ratio, audio, subtitles and speed in the player settings.
  • Learn every button in the remote control guide.

Updates

WalisTV checks for new versions when it starts. When an update is available, it shows an update screen and installs the new version from walistv.com. The first time, Android TV may ask you to allow WalisTV to install apps: turn it on and continue. Your Device ID and playlists stay the same.

Common questions

Is WalisTV free on Android TV?

Yes, WalisTV is free to download.

Does WalisTV include channels?

No. WalisTV is a player only. You add your own playlist.

“App not installed” on my Android TV

Free some storage space, and uninstall any older copy of WalisTV that came from another website, then install again.

Can I reinstall WalisTV?

Yes. On the same Android TV, you normally keep the same Device ID, so your playlists are still there.
