Frequently Asked Questions
Can Projectivy Launcher auto-launch my IPTV app on TV startup?
Yes! In Projectivy Settings > Status Bar & Power > 'Auto start on boot', select your preferred IPTV app (TiviMate/Sparkle TV).
Does Projectivy Launcher work on Firestick?
Yes, but Fire OS 8 disables local ADB; on Fire OS 8 you must use the remote key remap method instead of the accessibility service.
