Is passthrough even worth it?

So I'm struggling to get audio passthrough on MiBox S + Samsung Q80T + LG SNH5 for a few weeks and get terrible lip-sync issues (I even bought 2 HDMI 2.1 cables in a desperate hope to solve it). So I rage-quit and switched back to decoding on the device. Is there really much that I miss on a budget soundbar like this without passthrough? Want to hear your ideas on this. The only thing I noticed so far is that the audio became a little bit more quite, have to add more volume on a remote, and that seems to be it. Anyways, thanks for sharing your experience!

Edit. The problem was solved in a very unexpected way. I just tried VLC and it worked flawlessly. I get delays in any other player (literally ANY player) but VLC handles the delay somehow automatically. Miracle!

Any way to change font size and/or DPI when there is no option on settings? Help!

I've an Android TV box, given by a Pay TV provider; a DV8829 (Dialog Viu Hub 2.0) with an Amlogic S905C1 SOC, running on Android 10.

There's no option to adjust font size or dpi on the settings app, and by factory it has been set up for a larger font size which really annoys me, any way to make font size smaller?

Thanks in advance

Factory Reset After Update

After I did a update (security patch) of my android tv, it directly started factory resetting after restarting. It never prompted me to ask for the reset and I didn't reset by myself, it just did. Is this normal? If not, why would it have done that?

Can I turn my old Huawei without a screen into an Android TV / Emulator?

Hi :), I have an old Huawei Mate 20 Pro with no screen (LCD was broken) and I really want to turn it into a Android TV / Emulator. Currently I have it docked through HDMI, using a mouse, keyboard and controller to my TV. I have a few problems.

- Firstly, The resolution is set to 4k on my phone and my TV can support 4k 30fps only, so I'm looking for a way to change my resolution to something lower for higher frame rates since I want to output smooth emulation. I have seen operating systems that allows changing the resolution and aspect ratio (also want to change it to 16:9) so I am open to hearing ways to flash a new OS (somehow, with no screen on my device)

- Secondly, I don't know how to flash an operating system when I quite literally don't have a screen.

I would also want to know how much performance loss/gain I would get from switching operating systems and also what operating system you guys recommend for a powerful Android TV / Gaming Console (mostly)

I apologise for my messy writing, thanks to everyone who helps in advance!!

google tv is the worst tv operating system i've experienced

i actually liked android before the update, it was clean as android should be but now theres a ton of bloatware, more ads than any google product i've ever seen seriously nothing is as bad as this, imagine if you bought an android phone and couldn't remove the google logo on the homescreen or google widgets below, i can't get to my shows because i have to flip between 3 useless rows that i can't hide i don't even have amazon prime why should i have to flip through it any in progress show is like 3 rowes down rather than at the top, theres a huge google logo everywhere you go, and then theres multitasking, even an android phone from 2009 could multitask, it's laggy it's not pretty at all any more, you can't switch input while watching netflix and then come back you'll have to press play again because nothing is saved, i loved android over webos over samsung, but now i think it's the worst most unappealing tv os, and it ruins my tv entirely, in this case i think samsung os is miles ahead in both ui design and bloat, sony did some changes that made it better but it's still just terrible, i have a sony tv from this year and it feels as laggy as my sony tv from 2014
