So I got a Chromecast with Google TV, and set it up on my RCA TV. I managed to setup the power button and the volume buttons just fine, but no luck with the input.

I noticed that when its connecting, it tries various different "codes" until you find one that works. I imagine it does that to emulate the control remote that came with the TV.

My question is, is there a way for it to try more codes? Because if the problem is that the device just doesn't have the code that my specific TV uses, I don't mind looking for it myself, as long as I can input it in. The control remote my TV came with is kind of shitty, and having a working input button is literally the only thing I would need in order to never use it again.

Also, I do have CEC enabled, but I'm trying to get my PC to connect to my PC, and my graphics card doesn't support CEC, which means I can't change it with my PC.

Model no is 43PFL5604/F7 A. I updated it recently, wasn't a forced update so I feel stupider for having done it. Can't find any way to reset it online that doesn't involve going through the menus. There's no reset button, I have power, source, and volume up and down on the back. Tried finding firmware to maybe set it back an update or two, nothing online, nothing on the philips website. If anyone has any ideas, or can help at all, I'd be immensely grateful. Not sure if we got a warranty in the first place, but if we did, it still would be too long since the purchase lol.

I've tried several different ways of resetting it, holding power and volume down while plugging it in, source and volume down, just the power button, nothing seems to do anything.

Hello, I was wondering is it possible to connect multiple Bluetooth headphones to the android TV and get audio output in all of them together?

I've had my xiaomi mi stick for almost a year now and it's the first time I have a problem with it. It's stuck in a bootloop. I know for certain that this is not a power issue nor it is TV's fault. Been testing it on different outlets and TV's just to make sure, nothing helps. The bootloop is not long enough to get into boot settings and reset to factory settings. Any tips or is it dead for good?

1. I'm watching TV on my Android TV
2. I switch inputs to game console or whatever
3. Android TV automatically turns off (fine)
4. TV automatically turns off (not fine)

How to prevent step 4? Really annoying to be in the middle of a video game and have my TV turn off.

I have tried everything and it continues to just close after a few minutes. I just got this tv a couple weeks ago wtf lol. It's a TCL one if that makes a difference

I have a Hisense 60A6G and everything works fine, except the audio specifically for the HBO max app. I have the tv hooked up to a stereo receiver through the optical out port on the tv. For some reason, the HBO max outputs 5.1 surround sound and my audio sounds weird because of it. For reference, Netflix and Amazon prime do not do this. I have checked all the audio settings and nothing seems to help. Is there a way to manually disable all 5.1 audio output from the TV to force the HBO app to output stereo sound?

I currently have a xiaomi mi box s 4k i live in a secound world country and i was wondering if i should take the fairly new chromecast with google tv over my xiaomi mi box s 4k please can someone tell me what are the ups and cons if i exchange my current box and are the wifi speeds better? because the xiaomi mi box s 4k doesnt go over 160mb even with 5g and it disconnects and reconnects and this isnt a faulty model i tried 3 others and all same issue and the wifi is fine

Just got a Sony A80J and have linked Pluto and Sling apps.

The Live TV tab shows both apps’ channels in the guide.

Is there a way to hide channels or further customize the guide?

Is there a way to configure my remote with flirc so there a button that open an app right away?

Anyone having trouble with the Onn steaming box and the Bluetooth remote? Mine randomly craps out for some time, then starts working. It impacts the remote as well as a connected android phone.

I have just purchased a mecool km9, Is there any way to get Netflix to work on it. Thanks a mill all

Hey people,

I'm having a lot of trouble setting the HDMI control features on my system. It was working at one point but it doesn't anymore for a while and I don't understand how to fix it.

I'm using multiple sources (Chromecast with Google TV, Chromecast 4K for Stadia, Bluray player and PS5) with a Denon receiver and an LG TV.

I configured the Google remote to control the Denon and LG devices. Individually, it seems to work fine except for the input control on the Denon which seems impossible. But I can't seem to figure out how to power on and off the receiver and TV together with the Google remote.

Available options (CEC, IR, etc) always results in incomplete operation.

Anyone have any experience setting this up correctly?

Dear Reddit Community,

I hope you are going well. I have a Philips Android TV (PUS 7502/12) and to be honest I find it as a huge lackluster. The display is briliant by design (native high refresh rate), has nice colors, the double 15w speaker of the TV sounds better than the average, etc. The only problem is, that it's unable to play 4K content and eventually slows down. 4K playback on youtube doesn't work smoothly either and you can see that the TV struggles quite a lot. The internet access is more than great and is enough for satisfying the required bandwidth. Tried Plex.. the in-built video player, even VLC, but no luck. I truly believe it's the fault of the SoC, however I cannot help the fact that it's a 4K TV, so would assume it's able to play 4K content smoothly/without lagging.

In case you have a device from the same era (around 2017-2018), and you found a solution to your clumsy TV manufacturers choice for SoC, what did you do to tweak it?

I'm also thinking of getting an Nvidia Shield TV Pro, since it certainly has the "juice" to handle the content and probably it's easier/cheaper to get an independent box than buying a new TV (which has great display and sound).

Hope my question doesn't violate the topic of this subredit.

Regards,

T.L.P.B

Ok so with the Live TV app You're able to add some sources like hdhomerun and photo TV. This works great but I am a little off pit by the lack of sources that you are able to use. I would like to find an alternative just like the live TV app to integrate HD home run and say the foxnow app and ABC app and NBC and many more. I have seen a lot of these IPTV apps but none seem to do what I am trying to do. I feel like there has to be something out there that does this cause I do pay for cable but they don't have a streaming app for the service and I only have 1 HD homerun prime and I don't think my provider offers cable cards any longer. And downloading 100 apps to get all my channels isn't an issue it's just not an elegant way to go through watching tv. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Finally got the app to work, but there are no volume controls. Any ideas? The Google TV support page is a joke.

Hi, i can't seem to find an apk file for Google Play Virtual Android - Game Emulator & Dual Space and i've tried to download other android emulator on my mi box s but it said app not installed.

Ive got an USB drive attached to my TV. Now looking for a way to transfer media files from my windows PC to that storage via Wifi.

Thought about an SMB or FTP Server app. Also looked into SFTT app but it seems to be unavailable as Windows download. Feem is not available on my TV. Any suggestions?

I would like to have a website as my screensaver on my TV.
