How to Install MobiFlix APK on Android TV and Smart TV
MobiFlix runs natively on Android TV boxes and Android-based Smart TVs, but most non-Android Smart TVs need a workaround since they can’t install APK files directly. This guide covers both situations so you know exactly which steps apply to your setup. Either way, you’ll be streaming within about 10 minutes.

What Is MobiFlix?
MobiFlix is a free app for streaming movies and TV shows without a subscription. It isn’t on the Google Play Store, so it has to be sideloaded on any Android TV device. Its interface has drawn comparisons to the older OnStream app in a few streaming guides, though this connection hasn’t been officially confirmed by either app.
How to Install MobiFlix on Android TV
Enable Unknown Sources
Go to Settings, then Security and Restrictions, then turn on Unknown Sources. This allows your Android TV to install apps outside the Play Store.
Install a File Manager or Downloader App
Download Downloader or a similar file manager app from the Play Store, giving you a way to enter a direct download link on your TV.
Download the MobiFlix APK
Open the file manager app and enter the MobiFlix APK download URL, then confirm the download.
Install the APK
Once downloaded, select the file and tap Install, confirming any on-screen permission prompts.
Open MobiFlix
Launch the app from your Android TV home screen or apps menu and start browsing your first title.
Can You Use MobiFlix on Samsung, LG, Roku, or Other Smart TVs?
Samsung, LG, Roku, and Vizio TVs do not run Android, so they cannot install Android APK files directly. Samsung uses Tizen, while LG uses webOS. You can still view MobiFlix on these TVs with one of the following options.
Mirror MobiFlix From an Android Phone: Install MobiFlix on a compatible Android phone, connect your phone and Smart TV to the same Wi-Fi network, open Cast, Screen Mirroring, Screen Share, or Smart View on your phone, and select your TV from the available devices. Your phone stays connected and controls the app during mirroring.
Use an Android-Based Streaming Device: Connect a Firestick, Android TV box, or Google TV device to an HDMI port on your TV, connect it to Wi-Fi, install MobiFlix on it, and control it with the streaming device remote. This is usually the better option for regular use because the app runs on the external device instead of your phone. For Firestick-specific steps, see our MobiFlix APK on Firestick guide.
Is MobiFlix Safe on Android TV?
Since MobiFlix is sideloaded rather than downloaded from the Play Store, there’s no official review process behind the file. Only download it from a source you trust, and skip anything that bundles extra installers alongside the APK. Running a VPN in the background is a reasonable precaution for any unverified streaming app.
What Can You Watch on MobiFlix
- Movies spanning most major genres
- TV shows organized by season and episode
- Recently added titles alongside older catalog picks

Tips for Smoother Streaming
- Restart your Android TV device if performance drops after extended use.

- Avoid multiple mirror sites for downloads, pick one trusted source and stick with it.
What Should You Do if MobiFlix Is Not Working on Android TV?
If MobiFlix will not load, keeps buffering, or closes on Android TV, try these quick fixes first:
- Restart your Android TV or TV box.
- Check that your device is connected to Wi-Fi.
- Go to Settings > Apps > MobiFlix > Storage > Clear cache.
- Confirm that enough storage space is available.
- Close MobiFlix, then open it again.
- Reinstall the APK if the app still will not open.
If MobiFlix only shows trailers, first check which MobiFlix version you installed, some versions are designed for movie discovery rather than full playback. For more help, see our MobiFlix Not Working guide.

FAQ
Conclusion
Android TV and Google TV devices can install compatible MobiFlix APK versions directly.
