Good morning

I have a question, ask it here

I currently have two xiaomi mi tv sticks, both of which are being used in a mesh wifi environment.

I watch the video in the browser while surfing the web mainly on the tablet (Chromecast)

One is in use without any problem, but strangely, one is the same mesh wifi (tp link deco m5), even if I put a mesh device right next to the mi stick tv, the video sometimes freezes

(The tablet screen video comes out well, only the screen sent by the stick has a problem of freeze)

Could this be a heat issue? Is it a wifi problem? or TV? Could it be a problem?

​

Or should I throw away the mi stick tv and buy the new chromecast?

It's a translator, so the translation is not good, but thank you for reading

I've got a Sony Bravia HDR 4k tv with Google TV, which should be able to do everything Android tv does.

When playing HDR content on Netflix, it shows a HDR icon in my settings, and gives me more settings because the content is also Dolby Vision.

I'm guessing prime video on Android tv doesn't support Dolby Vision because it's not mentioned anywhere. But even on HDR content (HDR10 I guess?) I don't think HDR is working.

There's no HDR icon in the picture settings, and it's clearly much less bright and less contrast in the blacks etc. If I open the same movie in a different way, it does show the icon in settings and looks so much better.

How can I get HDR content working on prime? It does show the icon on the actual movie, just not in the tv settings.

Thanks!

Update:

Called Prime video support.

They knew about the problem, they've passed it along to the devs, but they had already done that many times before, the problem is know.

She said it might have to do with covid, they put the quality a bit lower because of many people streaming at the same time.

She also said it might not have to do with covid at all.

Basically she would pass it along. Fix eta: unknown. Asked if I could contact the devs, nope.

Great! :( back to Netlix for me.

I'm trying to install a few games for my Sony A80J TV. It uses Google TV. But the internal storage is too small. Only 4GB available. I tried to add an external storage using an 128 GB USB stick. While it did format and works fine (I can now transfer existing apps' data to the external storage). I still don't have an option to choose the external storage while installing new apps - trying to install Asphalt 9 and it says there's not enough room on the device. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm from Canada but I have access to a VPN and a Hulu account. I have sideloaded the app on both my Chromecast with Google tv and Nvidia shield TV and for some reason the app will install and open but when I go to my apps it's not there. If I go to reinstall it, it will say it's already installed. I got the APK from pureapk. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Is there a way to automatically skip youtube (not block) on an andriod tv? I have a Sony Bravia and i get annoyed to need to skip the ads everytime...

I was thinking that Google might not be in a position to fairly just flaunt Stadia content all over the AndroidTV interface... but perhaps done fairly they can curate gaming content the same way they do TV/Movie content today. So having a Gaming section that treats all services fairly and lists what services they are available from, while also giving the option to guy Stadia games directly from Google.

I wonder if everyone has the building blocks for this in place. Someone out there probably knows if GamePass or Luna have such APIs available.

Hi! I have a mi Box 4k and I tried to connect my PS3 controller but it's not working. Is there anyway to connect it or to fix the issue?

Which audio book player will work with MiBox. I have my audiobooks stored in g drive. I want to play them from the tv

If it can remeber the last palyed position it should check all my boxes.

A little background. I'm a Malay living in Malaysia. Disney Plus released here some weeks ago.

It seems that Disney Plus isn't available on Panasonic Smart TV, after hearing from a friend. Though, what about Panasonic Android TV? You should be able to download it since it runs on Android, right? No?

New Android tv app update states: “Add them now. Watch them later. Introducing My List. You can now save your favorite shows and movies with just a click.”

Not sure why this would be the case, I can't use iPlayer and it's pretty annoying having to Chromecast from my phone every time.

Hi, I've had this TV for about 3 months and since buying it it would keep changing the date and time to 4am on the 15th of April, 2020 (it changes almost every night).

I have tried running it with automatic date and time settings off and it still does this. I have factory reset it a couple of times as well.

I also checked the date and time settings for my router in case it was getting the time settings from there but the router is the correct date and time.

If anyone can shed some light on this, please let me know.

Thanks.

I just replaced my first-gen FireTV with an NVidia Shield Pro. The primary impetus for the upgrade was my ongoing displeasure with the picture quality on the FireTV - namely the washed out blacks (letterbox bars were noticeably grey). I'd been told that the picture quality on the Shield would be better, but I was rather skeptical since the content is doing digital into my AVR and I tend to run all of my devices flat / direct with as little tweaking as possible. But now that I've got the Shield up and running and have compared identical content between the two devices, the difference isn't subtle. The Shield smokes the FireTV. Colors are rich. Things aren't washed out. Letterbox bars are black.

My system is Devices (FireTV, Shield, Sony Blu-Ray) -> Denon DN-500AV -> Hisense H9.

The apps in the TV have picture quality closer to the Shield. The blu-ray player looks great, too.

So what's going on? Why does the FireTV look so much worse than anything else? Wouldn't it be sending the same content to the receiver as the Shield?

Anyone know the fix when UK Turks disappears from your apks and won't reinstall? Thanks

Alot of ram, good wifi(5G) and a fairly new android version would be great.

ive got a new Mi TV Stick and when i side load FireFox and Vanced Manager they are installed as system apps and i cannot interact with them. e.g. for Vanced Manager I cannot click the "lets get started" button to begin install. Is there a setting i'm missing?

Anyone having freezing issues with the new walmart onn android tv box? It happens a lot since I got it a week ago and it's been great besides the constant freezing. I have to unplug the system and plug it back in to power for it to work again.

I am desperately searching for an Android TV box with GPS an bluetooth.

Yes of course I know that sounds hillarious, because why would a TV box need GPS....

The usecase is actually at home, I just need need GPS as a requirement for an app I am running...

And other devices dont do "the job" because I need a device that can have a monitor plugged but also can be run without a monitor! And also it needs to work without battery, thats why a phone or tablet is not what I need.

Phones or tablets have the issue that they hibernate or put suff into sleep mode whn switching off the display... also thy have a battery which doe not work for my scenario. Just need it to run straight of the plug...

So just in case someone ever saw something like that... please help!

Everytime I click on something it is being read out loud. I've been into universal settings to try to stop this problem, however it didn't work.

PS. I have a 9005 model (2020).
