My Disney+ and ESPN aapps have suddenly stopped working. Disney says itdoesn't connect while ESPN just doesn't load. Also some of my other apps just take really long to load all of a sudden. I did a factory reset and I'm having the same issues. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

My Haier TV remote stop working. Now I'm using the Android TV remote app of Google. It's stopped working now, it's not connected.

Any idea if this is a connection issue? Can I get a replacement remote?

I have an older Sony android TV model that just fell short of having Airplay 2 on there. Would there be a way to add airplay to it? Could I theoretically install the app and all the core services and have it work natively without any app? This is just a theory I have.

Can someone please recommend a button mapper program for my Sony Google TV. I see several of them in the Play Store. I am looking to map programs to the yellow, red, green and blue buttons.

Thanks!

There is a way to turn off the screen while content plays over audio only. However, it requires numerous clicks to navigate. More while playing a video. How can this function be accessed more easily? Here is the built-in method to access. It sometimes shortcuts to the audio settings screen but that changing condition isn't necessarily a good thing.

Settings, Settings, Display & Sound, Audio, Advanced Settings, Audio Only Mode, (ok or wait 10 sec).

This translates to these button presses:

Settings button, down, down, ok, down, ok, down, down, ok, down, down, down, down, ok, down, ok.

I downloaded Smart Tube Next and that dramatically reduces the number of required clicks but only works in that app. I would like to use this in any app by accessing the TV's function. I cannot find a way to reach this function quickly. I want to map it to the Mute button on the remote since I pass through audio via toslink cable anyway.

I've dug through the file system and haven't come up with anything. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and welcome discussion from others. The fact that this function appears in the YouTube replacement app, indicates that the developers deemed it to be a useful-but-omitted feature in the official app.

I’m looking at a Sony TV that comes with googleTV built in and the one question I have still been unable to find an answer for is does it come with YouView and BBC IPLAYER/ ITV HUB/ ALL4 Etc. I’m in the U.K. if that helps anyone answer. Thanks

My Remote feature works with the Chromecast plugged in but my TV (Sony Bravia 4k) won't pair directly with my phone. Could anyone point me to an article/video or any kind of fix? The error says "could not pair due to incorrect passcode" despite them matching.

Thanks!

How can i connect to the xiaomi tv box using a windows laptop through network ????

Hello

Dolby Vision has stopped working on my device, the only different thing than before is that I'm now connected through a usb/ethernet hub

Even by putting always Dolby Vision in the settings. HDMI port on the tv is set to enhanced (hdmi ultrea hd deep color)

Any ideas? I'm pretty good with these devices but I'm clueless right now

Edit: I just fixed the problem by switching from SDR to DV on the chromecast a bunch of times in a row

My Tivo Stream 4k updated it's remote services program, so the Android Remote Application no longer connects. Very disappointed with the new program, so if anyone has solutions for these problems, please let me know.

1. Seemingly only connects via BT and not a network connection. Even though I'm only about 10' away it does not stay connected. Also it takes longer to connect. (To be clear-two separate issues, BT disconnecting and no network connection). Very annoying to have to wait for it to connect to just FF or REW. (Edit: It was connecting via wifi network, and will connect via BT also, but I think the "Adaptive Connectivity" function on my Pixel 4a was disrupting the wifi connection. Better with it turned off, but still not perfect. And BT only still will disconnect when in range.)
2. If the phone locks with the remote program active and in focus you need to unlock the phone to use the remote app. That was the best part of the old program--avoiding the device locking. I set Smart Lock to keep the phone unlocked if connected to the Tivo Stream 4k, but since it doesn't stay connected (see #1) that doesn't work. The only other option I see is to lessen my security settings, which I don't like.
3. To launch the remote I first have to launch Google TV app and then find the remote icon in that program. I have no other use for the Google TV app, so it's just an annoying extra step. (Edit: A settings shortcut button can be added as described below. Not quite as good, but it avoids launching the Google TV app.)

If anyone has workarounds for the above it would be appreciated. About the only advantage I've found in the new system is you don't need to enter a new passcode each time the app connects via BT.

If there are no fixes to these problems I've read I can just uninstall the update on the Tivo Stream 4k. Is there a way to keep it from reinstalling the update? (Edit: Yes, uninstall the remote update on the Tivo stick and go to Play to disable automatic updates.)

I can't get it to work on my laptop; I bought a 4k projector and upgraded my netflix subscription just for it. I'm done trying to find a solution; my laptop seems hopeless.

Bonus points if the solution also plays hevc encoded UHD remux files.

Everyone says get a shield, but they are really expensive in NZ. For the same price I can get a Mi Box S for Netflix and a Raspberry Pi 4 with libre elec for HEVC files

I installed Netflix tv app from aptotide tv,but it always gives this error ui-800 3 Any solutions? Please help

Okay, hear me out. We just switched out our old chromecast for the new ones with GTV.

Our dog suddenly can’t stand being in the living room, or our bedroom (where we also have one).

She is fine until we turn on the tv, and is terrified of the remote. Anyone else notice this? I’m assuming there’s a high frequency, but I just want to see if anyone else has noticed this!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have a Sound Sphere WiSA 5.1 sound system connected to my Sony A90J.

When using streaming services like Netflix, I get proper 5.1 / Atmos sound, and I get a 5.1 signal when playing video files off of my laptop (I've used both Dolby test video and regular content).

However when trying to play the same files from an App (VLC, MX Player, Kodi) the audio only ever gets put through as 2 channels.

I've tried changing a bunch of setting, but am completely lost as to whether this is just not doable, is a TV issue, and app issue, or a Sound Sphere issue.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: After resetting everything a bunch of times and toggling a million sound setting, enabling AC3 transcoding in Kodi seems to mostly be working. (I am fairly certain I tried this, but I may also just be an idiot. Will update if I find out more.)

Hi people, I have an s905x3 but it does'nt play well videos in 2x speed @ 60fps, I get o a LOT of frame drops and jerkiness, I use a preset to only play at 30 fps to play well, but I want to buy a new device, since YT are stopping having videos converted to 30fps in 1080p or 4K...

I want to know if someone have an android tv box and can play videos in increased speed with no problems in Smarttube Next in 1080p upwards and of course the chipset or the name of the chinese device.

Thanks.

Hi, I have Kogan series 9 ru9220 (KALED50RU9220SUA) and I was wondering if the built in chrome-cast is 4K Compatible

I've been having this weird sound issue, where in the content if it's just ambient sound or overall silent scenes the output completely cuts out. Sometimes it isn't a big deal, but most of the times it's very apparent. I think it may have to do with my setup, but I'm not sure (could be hardware fault), so hopefully someone here can help me with this.

At the moment my sound setup is the following:

Nvidia shield -> hdmi cable -> TV -> headphone output 3.5mm to RCA cable -> amp (Yamaha A-S701)

The TV is one of those cheap Toshiba, so I don't know if that can affect the audio quality. I already tried replacing the hdmi cable, but that didn't work. I can always try to replace the 3.5mm to RCA cable, that could be at fault, but since I don't understand much about audio maybe there's something in this setup that's clearly wrong? Should I try to get one of those hdmi splitters and connect through optical (the amp has optical input) so it doesn't go through the TV?

Help is appreciated, thanks!

Hello. I bought some days ago a Mi TV Stick. I have a big, big issue. When I play a movie or a tv series sometimes the audio cuts out. It's very annoying, especially because it cuts people talking. I have this issue only on movies or series, I assume because of low volumes level. But I don't understand if it's the tv i'm using or the stick itself
