Att tv recently rebranded as direct tv stream and my former, perfectly functioning , apk no longer works. I found one but it's got some bugs (no icon in main menu and the guide doesn't scroll back to the beginning) . Anyone know about a better option?

Just bought a Hisense 55" Class U6G Series Quantum 4K ULED Android TV. When I use Google Assistant to search for something ("comedies" for example), I get the following message: "Search across all your TV apps. To do this, allow Google to share your request with your TV's apps. You can turn this setting off at any time in your TV settings. Learn more at..." with "Allow" and "No Thanks" as button options. However, when I try to click Allow, I get the confirmation sound, but nothing happens and the screen stays there. I have looked for the mentioned setting in the settings menu, but I can't find it. Any help?

Using firestick and SmartTube TV. I can't search for anything. I input my search and it appears to register but nothing loads. Restarted my stick and everything so essentially I'm limited to watching whatever the app recommends for me basically making it useless for the time being

EDIT: I am using SmartTube NEXT

Hello all,

Looking for suggestions in the $700-1k ish range for an Android based TV. One super important feature is the tuner portion has to support a # pad random access to the tuner. For instance I watch OTA channels 39.1 and 10.1 and I want to be able to switch between them and other channels by pressing #ers on the remote versus having to scroll through a list of channels (like ROKU TVs do which makes them a no go).

I've been told the Sony X90J can do this but darned if I can find any proof via all the Youtube and website reviews of this TV I could find. I know this set is above 1k atm but darned if it doesn't get great reviews so I'd consider going a bit above budge for it). Can any owners of this TV confirm this or does anyone have any other suggestions?

​

Thanks in advance.

Neil

I've experienced this a few times on my Chromecasts with GoogleTV.

After using the device for a day or so, the next time I open YouTube or YouTubeTV, the video opens, to a blank screen. If you click Play, the pause icon shows up. Clicking Play again will cause it to play for a second and then it is stuck in a pause loop (For lack of better words). If I hold down the play button it will play, but as soon as you let go, it pauses. The only way I can then get YouTube or YouTubeTV to play again, is to reboot the device.

This is happening on multiple devices pretty regularly. Anyone else experience this or have a fix?

So I have my smart tv connected via ethernet, for context it's a xiaomi tv running Google's android tv and not some censored Chinese version, my problem is that the ethernet is connected and it says I have internet but the only app that works is Netflix and everything loads and works fine but almost everything else like prime and appstore says no internet connection, does anyone have any idea what the issue might be

I have a wireless projector that's running Android TV (it's an Anker Solar Portable) that I am trying to connect to my school's network (I am a teacher). We have a PEAP, 802.1x or whatever enterprise network so it needs a username AND a password. The IT department have confirmed that they're happy for the projector to be connected to the network - IF anyone can actually do so.

After several hours of Googling and attempting stuff, I SUSPECT I am going to have to root the projector so I can manually edit the wireless configuration and add the relevant information - Android TV does have the functionality for enterprise networks built in so if I can just add the right configuration it should be okay. I'm a bit daunted by this, however - it's been years since I rooted a phone, and at least phones are relatively normal rather than a wireless projector with its own bespoke app store alongside the Google one!

The apps that hobbyists seem to have been written in the past to get round this issue no longer seem to work (delisted from the Apple Store and APKs either don't run or don't work).

I've read a bunch of Reddit posts from years and months past that seem to suggest this isn't going to be possible... but I thought I'd check one more time before I take any more steps in case there's an easy way of doing this I've missed. If only I could just ping across the connection settings from my phone (Pixel 3!) really easily, or I could edit the relevant file without permissions, or... I thought I was making things easier by buying an Android TV projector rather than one of the WebOS ones I was looking at!

So my internet provider shipped out a nice android tv set up box.its a TelekomTV android box. The past 5 days I've been going crazy because I can't for the life of me get my Android tv to write to the damn thing. I'm using x-plore and thought it would be great that I can write to the external drive via FTP or Wireless sharing or whatever. But no matter what drive I use, no matter how I format the drive. I can't write to it. I tried ntsf and exfat. Formatted the drives from a laptop or directly on Android tv. I made sure that the apps I use in the Android TV have permission to write and do stuff.

I'm at my end, I can't figure it out! Anyone can help me?

My Android box is using Android 11 I have one WD passport drive 2TB and one rugged Lacie drive 2TB.

It's driving me insane! Need help!

So i downloaded the app. Am i going to be able to use this without DirecTV?

I'm trying to find something for my Mom. Something like AppleTV just seems way too pricey and while I know little about the 2 products I've listed, they seem to have good reviews and aren't super expensive. She's terrible with all tech, and I want to find something that shouldn't be too hard for her to get the handle of with a little coaching from myself lol. I suppose the main thing for her would be a user interface that is very easy to navigate.

---RESOLVED BY UNPLUGGING THE TV AND PLUGGING IT BACK IN!---

So, on my skyworth Android TV, I decided to turn on developer settings and like an idiot I went messing around and turned on one of the "view surface updates" settings, my question is, with the screen being purple, how do I navigate to the developer settings to turn them off? The whole screen is purple.

Ok, I have an Android TV that I just put a 32 gig flash drive into. It's set as external storage and I migrated all the apps. Now the problem I'm having is downloading new apps. I get an error saying there's not enough storage. Should I set up the drive as internal, and the apps would install on the drive instead by default, or should there be a setting to set it as the default that I'm somehow overlooking? You'd think all this would be a breeze for a long time android user. Lol

I have an android tv and an android phone. I installed the remote app and it shows up my tv on the list. But when i tap it, it loads for a second and then reverts back to the list of devices again. Has anyone faced a similar issue?

Hello all. We bought a VU tv and installed some apps. In the mobile version, the apps are displaying all the movies, but not in the tv, only few are shown in the tv. I signed in to the app in the tv as well, but no joy. Why is this happening? What can be done to solve this?

I'm trying to find a good VMESS & Shadowsocks client for Android TV. I've tried many apps with no success and googling did not help.

V2rayNG used to work but it doesn't anymore. It also does not support all VMESS network streams and hard to work with.

Do you guys know any good app?

Hi can someone tell me how to enable the accessibility services on my jvc android tv because I’m trying to get button mapper to work

I'm looking for a android tv box, is a mi box s good for running 50gb 4k movies (Without buffer) and 1,5gb 1080p anime episodes, from my 128gb usb drive, also does it have lag spikes in home screen?? The mi box s is at 250lei (50 euros) here in romania, btw my buget is 70euros max

Does anyone here use NFL Gamepass International (outside of the US) on their Android TV? The Android TV version of the app is the ONLY version that does not give you the ability to hide scores. For someone who lives on the opposite side of the planet this is very frustrating since I can’t watch the games live. When I contact support they just say “sorry”. No explanation. Does anyone have any idea why this would be? Any workarounds for this?

Hello,

really hope someone already tried/used the mi box s like that, i didnt bought it yet.

Here is my scenario and what i would like to do; would be nice to have input on my thoughts:

I have a pc with a QHD display and a 4K TV, but i cant use a HDMI cable. Now i want to stream/cast/use the TV as second screen. Is Chromecast (in mi box) usable in this situation with streaming my Chrome tab in 4K to the TV? Or is the quality depending on my PC screen (QHD)?

Same network is given, if it helps i would use wifi with my PC.

Or is sideloading to that extend possible, that I could use chrome on the mi box with an adblocker?
