Has anyone had success using a flash drive for extended internal storage?

My Hisense TV only came with 4GB of storage, which isn’t enough. I’ve tried the feature to extend the “internal storage” with a flash drive a few times with two different thumb drives. However, each time when I format via the Google TV settings it creates two partitions, and only a tiny 16MB partition is usable for storage. Also, when I try the drive on my computer, Windows won’t let me change the size of the 16MB partition. Anyone have better luck getting around this problem?

Bluetooth audio with Disney +

BLUF: Main shows on Disney + crash when I try to connect Bluetooth headphones.

Not sure if this is a Disney, tv, or android problem, but figured this was a place to start...

I have a TCL series 5 Android TV. Just recently I tried using Bluetooth headphones for audio, works great for most of the TV. However, when I try to watch a movie or show on Disney+, I get an error that "something went wrong." the movie will with five but as soon as Bluetooth connects I get the error. What's interesting is this doesn't happen with deleted scenes and featurettes. Nothing came up with googling, had anyone seen this before?

Certified AndroidTV device with ethernet?

Hello friends,

Is there a box with ethernet support but at same time being AndroidTV certified with occasional updates still coming?

I am using ancient Mibox3 with usb/ethernet dongle but it sometimes reboot by itself while watching live streams like live TV or twitch streams. Would like to buy device with built-in ethernet.

Thanks!

Update: Also, 3.5mm audio out is a must.

Update2: Found one device but don't know how good it is: MeCool KM1

Update3: MeCool seems terrible with updates, you are stuck with what you bought, don't think it is better situation with other China boxes as well.

Update4: People suggesting Shield but I don't like big, clunky devices with fans plus they cost a lot for power I don't need.

Google Duo on Cromecast + Google TV in Australia

Hi all, has anyone got a dinifitive answer as to what works (Web cam + usb hub) to get Duo working through a Cromecast + Google TV in Australia?

I've seen a bunch of posts saying particular webcams / hubs don't work or are buggy. Happy to buy something but don't want to spend too much unnecessary but also don't want to waste money on something which doesn't work.

Also seeing a few dedicated products come out like the Facebook portal. Is there anything like this for Google for the Australian market?

MI Box to computer (see computer screen through TV)

Is there anyway to use my MI BOX that is connected to the tv as a "second screen" to my pc that just shows my pc screen if you understand (english not main language).

I am going to try Team viewer right now to see if that works, and i will go back to this post after im done to see if you have given any other ideas.

ONN Media Streamer - Using External Storage

I bought the $19.88 ONN Media Streamer from WalMart. I have read many reports that it can play media files on USB storage - provided that you connect the USB Storage to the ONN via an adequate OTG "Y Splitter cable" or via a USB Hub with power pass-through. I have tried two different OTG Y Splitter cables and a powered Hub, but am not having any luck with any external storage - not even a flash drive formatted in FAT32. The ONN just doesn't see any external storage connected at all.

Is there something in Settings that I need to change?

Earlier today I tried installing exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software, but that didn't help. I later uninstalled and (just to be safe) did a factory reset on my ONN.

NOTE: I'm not trying to turn the external drive into adoptive storage, which is when you want to use external storage as a continuation of internal storage. This lets you not only store media files on it, but also Android apps too. This thread and this YouTube are helpful guides on how to setup adoptive storage. If you set a volume as adoptive storage it becomes encrypted and cannot be used with any other device. That's not what I'm after.

PowerAMP Equalizer on Android TV?

So i have been using and loving Poweramp Equalizer on my phone for a while and it is amazing. But i started to think if it was possible to install and use it on my Chromecast with Google tv, but i currently have no computer so i can't use it to do adb connections with the device thus aren't able to give it the necessary permissions to do its job.

The app has web adb option as well and it works fine on my unrooted phone, but on the CcwGtv despite the fact that I have installed the latest Chrome browser on it. I am unable to make the browser to see that request for the web adb connection.

So my question is that if anyone had tried to do this and would it work or not? Ui does require you to use some kind of mouse, but if the app was otherwise working then that would be small issue in my opinion.

I'm looking for an android tv box, that can maintain the date and time even after rebooting and not being connected to the internet

I developed an android app to show the time for certain events so people there know what's coming and when. I bought one box, but it can't keep the correct time without being connected to the internet, and today, I tried multiple boxes at a local store and all of them failed to keep the time.

Also, I'm going to add a timer switch to allow the TV and the box to take a rest for 2 hours during the day, so it is a must when they turn on again, the time is correct.

I hope someone can help.

What is the purpose of having a voice activated TV when you have to use the remote to deactivate the Google Assistant interface?

Whenever I'm telling my Google TV "hey Google" it opens its Google Assistant mode and usually does what I want from it. But after it finished say turning on the lights the Google Assistant UI just keeps staying on and I have to click back on the remote to make disappear. Who uses and/or likes this kind of behavior? In this case I couldve just pressed the mic button on my remote in the first place.

Anyone got any workarounds?
