I have installed Button Mapper and mapped the remote control's Home button to load FLauncher on my Sony A80J TV. This is nearly perfect except that my Google profile is opened and I have to exit it to get to Flauncher. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is there any way to go straight to FLauncher apps with the Home button?

Need something I can use in my car to feed the rear entertainment system. Wifi a plus if I can use it like a network drive.

Usage:

• To play simple games via Google TV (Chromecast)
• To play emulated games on my PC (e.g. SNES or PS3 games) e.g. FIFA 14 on PS3.

Ideally be able to play 2-4 controllers at once (parties) either on Chromecast or PC emulator

If possible: A wireless controller that has the option to be WIRED with power (e.g. USB cable) so I have the option to use it without batteries

Modern Xbox and PS controllers, although well-built with excellent ergonomics, seem too pricey/fancy/power-hungry. To use PS4 or PS5 controllers without the actual PS systems is overkill.

I'm aware of 3rd-party brands and cheap products, but I'm willing to consider them.

I'm a super casual gamer.

Anyone running into an issue where the show you are watching on Hulu going dim and having to use the remote to "wake up" the screen.

Driving me nuts

Hi everyone. I‘ve got a new Philips 4K Android TV and installed Aptoide on it. I noticed that Aptoide offers newer versions of apps like VLC that I can find on the official PlayStore. Recommend to update, or not?

I recently got an AndroidTV and want be able to watch DVDs on it. I still like to go to my local library, borrow DVDs, and watch them at home. I would do this using my laptop and an external disc drive. I'm wondering if I can do the same thing with my AndroidTV.

So I flashed an image of Android 12 tv on an SD card and I was just wondering if it's possible somehow to through settings make it so I can update this 6.1 device to 12

The only shows in my continue-watching list are from Disney plus, No Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I was mainly planning on using it to stream and watch videos from my Plex server. If I had go for the Shield TV Pro, I was going to use it as the server.

The decision of Google to end the legacy remote app was the last straw. At first I got by rolling back remote services on my streaming device, but after the latest Android 12 updated to my phone the legacy Android remote app started repeatedly freezing, forcing rebooting my phone. Very annoying, to say the least.

So, I'm moving to a Fire Cube device, which has a fairly fast processor, apparently faster than any Ruko device, FWTIW. I have a Fire 4k stick in my travel trailer and my Android TV device will move there so that I can bring the Amazon remote home for use as a second remote on my new Cube device. I've been perfectly happy with the Fire stick, so I assume the Cube will be better given the stronger processor. Also, although the Cube does not have WiFi 6, it has Ethernet which will allow me a better connection. Finally, it is on sale right now with an extra 5% off if I use an Amazon branded credit card.

Hi all. I have a MI 4X 43" TV. When I watch Hawkeye or any new content with HDR, the video is to dark. How to fix it? It is a 4K TV but i can't find the HDR option!

Hi I recently got the the Nokia streaming box 8000 with the change to a new internet supplier and I am satisfied with the whole setup.

The issue is the power adapter. It'a too chunky and the cable is too short to to hide it behind cable ducts.. it's just a mess.

Does anybody know what kind of plug type this power adapter has? Or where I can get a longer cable?

Hi everyone,

Anyone who is able to copy files from this tablet (or any Android tablet) to Bravia via USB? (USB configuration of the tablet is "transferring files". "USB controlled by" cannot be selected as "connected device" which is the TV.)

Basically, Bravia doesn't see the tablet because I think it is not defined as a mass storage device or sth.

Any solution is gratly appreciated.

PS:

• Wi-Fi transfer via "Send Files to TV" is too slow. (20 seconds for 10 MB or so) So I want to use a wired connection.
• Both devices are up to date.

After I install the Onn box latest Nov updates today, I found both my Youtube and YoutubeTV has no sound on TV anymore. TV is connect to Onn box via a HDMI cable. But Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ audio still work fine. Anyone else has the same issue? Thanks.

Running MiBox with soundbar. Prime video volume is too loud I can't adjust it and it gives "Not support!" dialog box when I try to lower volume.

I got this app from play store. But don't mind rolling back to a stable version.

Is there going to be a 64bit version of google tv like an update to make it 64 bit I just am curious if they are going to do this or if they could do this I think it would be nice to allow apps to work flawlessly and preform better if google does this but idk what do you guys think?

Hey! I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S and I've noticed that if I don't restart it every few days it starts getting slow and unresponsive. Is there an app (paid or free) that can let me schedule automatic restarts? Sideloading is also not a problem for me.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Lenovo tiny PC and was wondering if it would be a better streaming device than a Chromecast w Google tv.

It's specced out w an i3 and 8 gigs ram.

Would it be a better streaming device?

Which are the best YouTube Clients for android TVs for having a ad-free viewing experience without paying for YouTube Premium?

I have heard of SmartTubeNext. Are there any better alternatives?

[RESOLVED: switching to 5Ghz gives good results almost all the time. There are moments when, like right this minute, one service doesn't work while others do; I assume that's par for the course in the present state of streaming.]

[EDIT: switching from 2.4 to 5Ghz makes immediate huge difference in consistency of connection, now to see how well it works at peak evening times. Using Analiti wifi test app - different thread - gives a better picture than basic RedMango speedtest app of where to look for possible causes.]

We have US Internet fiber to home and good wifi signal. Macbook almost always tests 60+Mbps both down- and upload. New Hisense U6G Android TV normally tests anemic - much much worse than Macbook with low speeds, high ping delay and jitter.

Is it foolish to expect this new Android TV to stream well most of the time?

Should I simply use a Roku or some alternative streaming device and ignore the TV's internet connection?

(As long as Roku supports Apple TV+ and Youtube and Prime, almost all my streaming needs will be covered.)
