Update mtivi to the newest version

How updates reach each kind of install, and how to check which version you are on.

2 min readUpdated 20 Sep 2026

Where your update comes from depends on how you installed the app.

Installed from the Play Store

Updates arrive on their own. To force one, open the Play Store, find mtivi, and use Update if it is offered.

Installed from our download page

mtivi checks for a newer build itself and tells you. You do not have to hunt for anything.

  1. A popup says Update available

    It names the version and offers Update now or Later. Later keeps it for next time.

  2. Choose Update now

    The download starts inside the app.

  3. Allow mtivi to install apps, once

    Android asks for this the first time. The app tells you plainly: allow installing apps from MTIVI, then tap Update now again. You only do it once.

  4. It installs itself

    Confirm the install when Android asks. Your playlists, favorites and settings all stay exactly where they are.

If the download fails, the app says so and asks you to check your connection and try again. A box with almost no free storage fails here too, so clear some room before retrying.

Checking by hand, and the other routes

Settings, then About, shows your current version. It also offers a square code you can scan with a phone, or tap on a touch screen, which opens our download page if you would rather fetch the file yourself.

On a Fire TV or a TV box, the Downloader app works for updates as well: open it and enter 1706057. It fetches the current build, and installing over the top keeps everything.

Occasionally an update is required. When a build is too old to support, the popup says so and there is no Later button. Everything on the device is kept.

An update that will not install

Free some space first, then allow installs from unknown sources in the device’s security settings if it is a downloaded build. On Fire TV that permission belongs to the app you downloaded with.
