Can't open Play Store
Hello,
I recently bought an Akai AK43FSM1440 smart TV. I can't open the Play Store; nothing happens when I click on sign in. Therefore, I cannot update other applications, which don't work as a result.
Thank you
Configuration: Android / Chrome 95.0.4638.74

Hello,
Here is what I usually reply on this subject:
When it comes to applications, manufacturers and broadcasters do whatever they want. Personally, I have an LG, and at first, I had an Orange app that provided access to a lot of radio stations, but that app was removed without warning during an update. For replay, I had Pluzz (public service replay) and Arte +7, which also disappeared. As for MyTF1, I only have the paid VOD. On the M6 replay site, I am asked to download a "player," but "download impossible." It's all a matter of agreements between the app owners and the TV brand, just a money issue, so these TVs aren't so smart, are they? ...;-(
And Arte came back a while ago... go figure...
And:
"Smart TVs connected to the internet also generally offer access to applications (sometimes also referred to as 'Widgets'). Currently, the applications available vary depending on the brand and the TV, and even within the same brand, some applications may only be accessible on certain models."
