You don't need to disable Google Play, just install a major version number. If you disabled, re enable it.
Is so hard understand that if you disable something you can'install an update ?

When i returned from vacation, in just 2 seconds, i downloaded the last version of google play from apkmirror.com and installed the update. All work well.

You need an apk with version number > of your actual version number. Otherwise, logically, you can't update an apk. You need the normal Google Play apk, not the Android TV version.

If you have created problems with previous attemps, reinstall everything.

More simple than this, i don't know how to explain.


P.S.
As i explained many times, the manual update of Google Play is necessary only when the TV version have greater version of the normal Google Play version. If you want solve forever you can change foster_e in full_foster_e in build.prop But since this happen not very often, i prefer to have the original build.prop for compatibility reasons.


Millions words also for a so simple thing is something that really i don't like. Is more simple create a firmware that support some users. Sorry but is the true.

Man, thx for advice, but as long as i cant open ANY file from USB flash and downloads in browser on Android freezes always i click on start download, its qiet hard to install ES File Explorer ;)

I think i will try to repeat whole install full android procedure again if no more advices as i dont wanna spam too much about one problem. In case i will not be able to use it properly, ill try zulus SATV stock custom FW with full google play maybe.

Please, dont act like that. I rly appreciate someone wants to help me - thats for sure. So sory if you feel bad about my post i rly dont want to "ask for help and being rude same time" to the helpers. I also checked your last post with apk ofc. but regarding to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESay1j6iVK8 it looks like that installer needs to be connected to destinatin device via network for install applications into destination sd card. And i am not able to connet shield via network in full android environment. In SATV is possible by Access shield folders from PC in storage settings, but in full androind, i dont know/i cant see this option to activate access via network. So thats why i feel hopeless.
