How to Find CocoFlix on Your TV After Installation

Here’s what happens after you install:

Problem: CocoFlix might not show up in your TV’s app drawer.

Why: Sideloaded apps don’t always integrate into Android TV’s app drawer. This is normal.

Solution 1: Settings Menu

Go to Settings > Apps > See All Apps.
Scroll down to find CocoFlix.
Tap it to open.

This works on Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, and most Android TV devices.

Solution 2: Sideload Launcher App (Easier)

Go to Google Play Store on your TV.
Search for **Sideload Launcher**.
Install it.
Open Sideload Launcher—it shows all your apps, including sideloaded ones like CocoFlix.

Sideload Launcher makes your TV feel normal. All apps appear in one place. Recommended.

First Launch: Permissions & Settings

When you open CocoFlix for the first time:

Permissions: CocoFlix asks for Storage and Internet permission. Tap Allow.

Initial Load: First launch takes 10-15 seconds as the app initializes.

Menu Navigation: Use your remote’s arrow keys to navigate. Tap the select button to choose titles.

The app is ready to use immediately after permissions. No login required. No account needed.

Troubleshooting: Android TV Specific Issues

APK File Doesn’t Show Up on USB

Make sure APK is in the USB root folder, not a subfolder.

Go to Settings > Apps > See All Apps > CocoFlix > Force Stop.
Clear cache: Settings > Apps > CocoFlix > Storage > Clear Cache.
