Magis TV for Xiaomi / Mi TV
Magis TV on Xiaomi / Mi TV
Xiaomi’s Mi TVs combine Android TV with Xiaomi’s PatchWall interface, a content-first launcher that sits on top of the standard Android TV system. Underneath, these televisions run Google’s TV platform with access to the Google Play Store.
Because the base is Android TV, the compatibility guidance is similar to other Android TV devices — but PatchWall’s custom launcher can occasionally affect how sideloaded or non-TV apps appear and launch.
How to Check Mi TV Compatibility
- Open the Google Play Store from your Mi TV’s app section.
- Search for the exact app name and verify the publisher.
- Confirm the listing supports Android TV and your TV’s software version.
- Check that the app appears correctly in the PatchWall launcher after installation.
- Keep both the Android TV system and PatchWall updated.
If an app installs but does not show up in PatchWall, try finding it in the full app drawer. Apps without proper TV support sometimes hide from the curated launcher while still being installed.
A Note on Regional Variants
Xiaomi sells different TV lineups in different countries, and the preinstalled apps and store availability can vary by region. An app available on a Mi TV in one country may not appear in another country’s Play Store.
Always check your own TV’s store rather than relying on availability claims from another region.
