The title is self explanatory.
Installing the original launcher has been unsuccesful for me. The only version that worked had the channels feature broken so i could use the apps section.

Problem with casting in to SmartTubeNext

Hello,

Philips the one 2020, Android 9

Smart Tube Next latest

YT Vanced, Android 10

I disabled YT and YT music on my TV, installed STN instead. However, if I want to cast video from my mobile default YT app starts. If I connect mobile with code from STN I have 2 devices to cast - TV name and SmartTubeNext_tv name. Yesterday I casted to the STN, but today getting endless loading on my mobile app, no vide is casted.

Is any way to fully disable YT app and use only STN also for casting?

Any similar apps to TV Guard on Android TV?

I was watching this youtube video that brings up the TV Guard app to clean up the TV's memory. Looks like TV Guard is only available for Roku. Given all the apps supported on the play store I imagine there must be something similar available there. Anyone have recommendations?

The reason I'm looking is because my tv is being a bit finicky lately. Keeps giving me "Running out of space - delete apps" error, but I checked and there's over a GB free right now. I don't wanna just clear the cache because I have logins on certain apps that I'm not positive I remember the passwords too, so I don't want to get logged out.

Android TV Google assistant can’t search shows

So I recently got the Sony X900H, I was really excited about the google assistant part of it.

but whenever I’m trying to use it to play a show, (e.g. I tell it to play Avengers Endgame), it would open Hulu with the movie’s page but without the possibility to play it, instead of playing it from disney plus. For some other shows that are on both netflix AND hulu, it would tell me it can’t play it because the show is only available on sling and I dont have that installed.

What’s the issue here ? and what could be a possible fix ?

Is it a good idea to a Mi Box s in 2021?

In my country the only available options are: (prices convereted to $)

- Mi Box S 70$
- Mi Stick 50$
- Chromecast w/ Google TV 100$
- Random Chinese boxes 30-50 $

I believe a mi stick would be too underpowered for my taste since i like to tinker around with apps .
Chromecast would be the best option but its too expensive here and ordering online would be even more expensive.
Chinese boxes are not worth it

All its left is mi box s but its from 2018? How long do you think it will last until its not supported anymore?
Or should i just wait for chromecast price to drop?

Problems with Showtime

Curious is anyone else has had this problem. Signed up for Showtime and installed the app. Tried to watch a show and the 30 second ad for other programming plays but goes back to the Home Screen instead of playing the show. Tried it on multiple shows/movies. CS just said “that’s odd” and offered no further assistance. This is on the Chromecast with Goggle TV.

YouTube app only playing certain videos, most just show black screen unless I cast them from YouTube app on phone.

I’ve deleted cache etc, delete updates. Nothing works, only thing left I have is to do a factory reset on my tv although I rather not as all other streaming apps work and don’t want to go through the whole setup again. Hoping someone here has better ideas.

Testing audio delay after the new system update on the MI TV Stick

I was very unsatisfied with the MI TV Stick's audio delay (I made a post about it a couple of months ago). I had high hopes that a system update will fix it. After checking out the new update I was immediately let down. I even recorded a video about the delay that I only have with the Mi TV Stick (and no other devices).

I recorded and slowed down a test video played with the Youtube app. It seems that there is a 200-250ms audio delay which is unacceptable. Can others verify this, too, and maybe let the developers know about it?

Here is my video:

Edit:

In the meantime a friend tested another Android TV device with his LG CX OLED and it has audio delay, too. Might be something general.

Hello, I have Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 and I really like it but there's a problem.

The color of the Nvidia looks washed out / dull compared to my Samsung Q8fn TV and yes I have enabled Match content color space.

I want to switch from Nvidia to Chromecast with Google TV can anyone who has it tell me if the colors looks better on Chromecast or it's the same?

Thank you.

Android TV for offline use

Hey all,

I'm looking for an Android solution that I can use in my car for offline netflix, D+ and prime playback. I bought I cheap tv box off Amazon but that was garbage.

I can't seem to find a decent Android TV box with a hard drive that will allow me to download content from the streaming services. My most recent idea is to get a tablet or phone that will be easily "docked".

For context this is so my kids can watch Netflix on our cars backseat screen.

Anyone know if a good solution?

Thanks!
