Not liking the android tv remote under the Google tv app.

The lazy in me hates opening the app and clicking the remote to control the tv. Theres times when I need to do a quick volume adjustment, I'll have to go to the app and reconnect to the specific tv I want to control. Takes sometimes half a minute to do something that was quick previously.

Anyone else have this problem?

Netflix not running on TCL Smart Android TV

I need serious help with resolving this Netflix issue on my TCL 65C725 TV. This TV runs on Android 11 OS.

Launching Netflix gives the error code ui-800-3 (307006). I have tried all I can without success.

The TV came with Netflix v 8.1.0 build 3808 and I have tried other version ranging from Netflix versions 6 to 8. Versions 6 and 7 are not supported on the TV. Several version 8s give the same error code ui-800-3 (307006). Updates from the Google Play Store does not work either.

What can I do? I have 4 of these TVs and I'm really frustrated.

USB keyboard backspace behavior on Android TV

I have an onn Android TV UHD device. I've connected a USB keyboard to the device via OTG. The keyboard works, but I've found that the backspace key is interpreted as a back navigation event. So, if I'm typing in an app and then press backspace (intending to delete the previously typed character), the result is going back to the home screen, or whatever pressing "back" on the remote would usually do.

Is it possible to configure the backspace key on a USB keyboard to NOT cause a back navigation? Ideally, if the focus is on an input text box, the backspace key would delete the previously typed character(s).

Thanks in advance.

Trying to remove recommendations on my TV because it's slow AF since it's updated and the website they direct you to for help doesn't even work!

"Service Included by default"

Broken site

This is just getting more and more annoying. Clearly by all the bad reviews they don't care about what users want or need and just do as they please.

Is it better to use a custom launcher, or reset the Google app to get the original back? Because when I've used CLs in the past they haven't set as default and then the remote buttons don't work.

Prime app fails to load video?

So I understand that the Amazon Prime Video app is a problematic one. I'm having an issue where, when I open the app and try to play a video, it will try loading it for about 30 seconds then say an error occurred. I'll have to kill the app, then reopen it. The problem typically comes back the following day.

Does anyone else often have a problem with it like this?

Good android TV with a fully 4k interface?

Does this exist? I do really like my 2019 Shield Pro but it's honestly getting on my nerves a bit, I use it a lot for displaying Spotify, looking through Plex etc. It looks awful in 1080p when you are used to in 4K.

Is there an android tv that has this? I really liked the apple TV having 4K HDR throughout the UI. It was a massive difference

Sony Bravia XH9096 and Button Mapper constant trasmitting issue

I'm using this useful app with my Bravia XH9096 (X900H in US).

I've mapped the color buttons on the remote (Red=Youtube, Yellow=Plex, Blue=Kodi) and they work fine but... I noticed that once i tap the button i can see the remote signal constantly transmitting to the television non-stop. I have to tap any other non-mapped button just to get the transmission to stop.

Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks.

Automating an Android TV driven projector (turn on, play something specific, etc)

I am wondering if anyone has successfully automated a projector driven by Android TV (I am using 10.0). I am looking to be able to turn the projector on at a certain time and have it start playing a specific file off a USB drive plugged in. Then to turn off at a certain time. Rinse and repeat.

To make sense of it, it is for Halloween and I am looking to play a series of clips I combined into a single MPEG formatted file.

I have multiple automation platforms I can control things with, including Vera/Ezlo hubs (Z-Wave/Zigbee/Lua script for everything else on Wi-Fi), Home Assistant, Alexa, and Google Assistant.

Any thought? :)
