Which custom launchers feature "watch next" integration?

Which android tv launchers feature "watch next" integration like the standard android tv launcher has?

I have a shield tv and I don't like seeing promotional materials. All I want to see is;

  • links to the apps I have installed (netflix, prime video, smarttube next, plex)
  • a row to continue watching content on those services.

What launcher fits this specification. If none, why not? From my brief investigation, it looks like a specific google api that may not be exposed outside of google?

Nest mini unable to play a specific Netflix show/movie. Any help???

Hi All,

I have a Sony Bravia, up till very recently I was able to tell Nest Mini to play a show or movie and it would start playing it on my Bravia Android tv with built in chrome cast. For some reason now it would say Ok playing (show) on Netflix on living room tv but nothing happens at all. I restarted everything, made sure all devices are on the same network and unlined and linked netflix again in Google home settings. As mentioned this was working just fine until it stopped.

There is no error message or anything, it says ok but then absolutely nothing happens. I can cast from the phone and mini is able to play sling tv channels using voice but not Netflix Anyone having this issue? Really don't get why it just suddenly stopped working

Is it possible to erase existing ROM in my tv box to androidTV and that changes my DRM security for digital media? My box unfortunatelly only plays streaming at 480p (L3) and only discovered it after arrival in my house. Guess that, since ATV is homologated by Google, it would solve my problem?

Homatics Box Q 5.1 passthrough native/kodi Logitech Z906

Hello

Just Got Homatics Box Q seems just like MiBox 4k clone but i have feeling that software is improved. Anyway I have got Logitech Z906 speaker set which only supports DTS and DD. On MiBox I was using kodi to run passthrough for movies and sometimes Netflix.

Good news is that they on contrary what Xiaomi did with MiBox they have implemented native passtrough in Homatics.

Sorry this are not PSC.

So I have tried everything and this does not gives 5.1 DD/DTS sound on output. Only After Enabling:

Select Formats: Manual and DD Plus enabled Netflix is starting to detect 5.1 But Z906 does not light up DECODE LED...

Another thing is that even setting up up Kodi accordingly to this with both TV(AC3) and AVR SPDIF
(AC3/DTS) setups which were working on MiBox just fine.

I have tried different cross nativeXkodi configurations assuming one may interfere with another, but no luck.

Any ideas ?

PLEASE HELP!! I need a new remote for an Android TV!!

Guys I've been searching all over the place for a remote control for my Android TV.

I am fed up with the generic, standard remote that came with, which lacks of a microphone, is clicky, and big.

I bought a replacement remote for a mi tv box that connects with Bluetooth but didn't seem to work (can't be paired or discovered over bluetooth) . I've been thinking to buy one from mecool as well but i am not sure about it.

The TV is a Toshiba 55UA2063DG.

I need something definitely with a mic and more compact preferably that could connect over Bluetooth and be compatible with the tv. Any suggestions???

Thanks guys!! Much appreciated!!

Do people like the Googletv interface?

I just got one and I’m pretty disappointed. It’s setup was kinda slow and a bit annoying. The interface is also a bit crap imo… couple of things I’ve encountered which I don’t really look forward to figuring out…

  • recently watched show displays on home screen (that’s good) but clicking it just leads to a partial load of the app and then a return to Home Screen
  • I have to scroll and click much more than I’d like to in order to get to recently downloaded apps… Would be nice to see more than 7 apps listed on the home screen
  • it doesn’t seem to have the ability to connect to free streaming channels without an antenna… rokutv can do this and I think it’s awesome, and I like channels dedicated to showing reruns of individual series from the 80s!!

Tv is a TCL, it was a top pick on wire cutter and I got it on cyber Monday. Price was great, solid source and TCL is usually great. Don’t know how to feel about all of this, I’m a little sad

Can you add a TV to Google speaker group?

Is it possible to add TV (Sony KD-ZD9) with "chromecast built-in " to a Google Home speaker group?

The option is not available on my Google Home app on android.

Is there a solution to this?

Ideally I want to know if it's possibly to play sound through the TV speaker and the Google mini simultaneously.
Would slotting in a Chromecast work?

App to replace CCwGTV remote?

After about a year of usage, the remote of my CCwGTV no longer works perfectly – specifically, the UP direction of the 4-way wheel on top only works once in a while, and when pressed hard.

I know one can buy a replacement remote, but until I get that, is there an (iOS) app version of the remote? Like there’s a Philips Remote app for my smart TV, or a remote app for Apple TV?

Turning off new Sony Bravia TV (A80J) using Google Assistant Speakers

I had a Sony Bravia x90F (Android TV) before, telling my Google Assistant to "turn off the living room TV" will turn it off.

With the new TVs that I got, A80J and X90J, you have to use Sony's cloud services for it to talk to your assistant speakers.

The trigger phrase is "Hey Google, talk to Sony's TV". Then a bell will sound which means the assistant speaker will now wait for the next command, where you can control the TV (turn off, volume up/down, change source).

I don't know why they did this, I honestly think it is stupid.

I am ok with using the remote to turn it off, it's just because of this "feature", I can't turn off the TV anymore as part of my (Bedtime) routine. Before I would just say , "hey Google, goodnight" and it will pretty much turn off everything (lights and TVs).

Am I missing something? Is there a workaround? Hoping for sugestions.

Thanks.

Using FreeviewPlay apps without aerial

I have recently bought a Sharp C40bl2kf2ab and was looking forward to using TV apps such as iPlayer and All 4 on demand due to not having an aerial. Having tried to access said TV apps I have been given the error code FVP-300 (I believe due to their link to Freeviewplay, which I am unable to setup due to no aerial to scan for channels). I have seen older posts following similar issues, but was wondering if there was a round this?

Note: I live in a rented basement flat and have tried plug in aerials which aren't able to gain any signal.
