PIA app on TCL android smart tv

Does anyone know if this works or my issue can be resolved? I am trying to connect pia on my tcl smart tv, I am using the app from google play store. It says it is connected but when I try to run another app streaming service with it on, it says it cannot connect/failed to establish a connection. Anyone know what the issue might be?

I’ve tried few different vpns on tlc c645k , they just disconnect randomly and also connect on boot doesn’t work, it’s issue on TLC’s side maybe they can fix it with android update ? I also have Phillips TV thats on android and no issues,

I ended up connecting firestick 4k to the TLC

Smart tvs are not supported. They only support Android on mobile devices like phones and tablets

How do you get pia to work on firestick 4k?

Why does the PIA website have a whole section on using PIA VPN on smart tvs then? https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/smart-tvs

some Smart TV’s run on Android which would work , its not only phones or tablets, also works on Nvidia Shield , Chromecast , Firestick etc

Don’t get why they don’t have the app available on Amazon store to download easily
