Thanks for posting this. Did you have to install a Charles cert file on the TV to get around SSL Handshake Errors, and if so - how did you get that installed?

[@DXcool223]

Dude you did everything but SSL come on bro 😂

[@achamthavir646]

Thanks can you please explain how the Charles cert file is installed on TV

[@AKASHWANGALWAR]

but how to read encrypted calls from android tv. for that we need to install the charles certificate and at present there is no way to install the certificate on android TV

[@rvkasper]

Agree - unable to add certificates on Android TV (I noted on my phone I have to set up a PIN for my lock screen first). Is it possible on the Android TV version of the OS - and if so how did you do it +blocker29

[@AKASHWANGALWAR]

did you found a solution for this

[@JuanRodriguez-su7xn]

After a while the only way I found to get https calls with androidtv is to add the certs to your app and then use the proxy

[@damarpramuditonurjati1253]

like another comment, how to install cert file on TV?

[@anupambhomia]

You never explained how to add the certificate on the AndroidTV - this is useless Video
