For the life of me, I can't figure this out. I see where one can arrange the apps running across the screen, but I don't see any option for rearranging or adding to the ones running down the left, which show you what's available on the app, etc.

I know mi stick is not the best out there but still it the only thing i can afford so far. Currently use stremio for movie streaming,i hope yall can help me.

After trying to get the new chromecast to work for a whole month, I am sending back this device. The home screen is littered with ads, even for services which I did not subscribe to. It does NOT show recommendations for anything non prime/netflix/disney. No arte, no plex, no local services (ARD/ZDF in Germany).

I have tried everything from tweaking buttons and installing different launchers but I cannot get it to work completely. Wolf Launcher gets rid of the ads and lag, but ambient mode doesn't work. The "apps only" mode is NOT A VIABLE OPTION. It forces you to use a row with maximum 20 apps (no columns??????) It still shows ads in full screen on the top. Assistant and ambient mode stop working. The only reason "apps only" exists is to kick the user right back into "ad mode".

These are all things that work on other android tv boxes and are deliberate decisions by Google. My house used a multitude of google products (like a ton of minis) but the new chromecast will not be one of them.

Hi, guys. This is something happened to several other people.

I can activate the voice command indicator but it won't hear at all.

Voice commands/Google Assistant on the controller instead just work fine.

I tried to fix it erasing the Google app cache or connecting it to usb port, as someone suggested, but it won't work. I also enabled the 'always on' feature on my remote.

Occasionally, it still works, but it's a 99% fail.

Tell me that someone found a solution, please

I have been using Google Home speaker in my bedroom to listen to music using Youtube Music. Then I realize that I have stereo speakers connected to my CCGTV with better sound. So I fired up my TV and started listening. Works great. But Youtube occasionally plays "video" ads, which is more annoying than the "audio" ads.

So I'm looking for a free music streaming service without ads for CCGTV. Any recommendation?

For example I watched plenty of 4K HDR like those:

• Tenet.2020.IMAX.2160p.UHD.BluRay.x265.10bit.HDR.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-SWTYBLZ

• Avengers.Endgame.2019.2160p.UHD.BluRay.X265.10bit.HDR.TrueHD.7.1.Atmos-TERMiNAL

• Joker.2019.2160p.UHD.BluRay.X265.10bit.HDR.TrueHD.7.1.Atmos-AAAUHD

Whice worked great with HDR displayed, but TV shows that I've tried to watch, the color of them looked faded away whice is the case when HDR content won't work properly. Examples:

• WandaVision.S01E01.2160p.DSNP.WEBRip.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1.Atmos-CM

• Stranger.Things.S03.2160p.NF.WEBRip.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1-HDRISTRASH

I'm on a Mi Box (1 version before the release of Mi Box S), and always used the most stable Kodi version.

Thank you

I have a 2016 Samsung TV and just got a new Chromecast. When I power on the TV there is a 95% chance that Samsung's stupid TV Plus channel will start first and either stay on the screen or take a few seconds to disappear.

Not sure if this is due to how the Chromecast powers on or whatever, anyone else have this issue? Can't find a way to disable TV Plus as I don't need it. The Chromecast should keep a little power going when off so the input stays active on the TV, this should fix the problem. My old cable set top box did this, more of a standby mode rather than off completely.

I have Mi box s for year now. And its not the best through wifi connection but its works fine Im thinking to buy the google tv but its not available in my location through selling my mi box s and buying google tv. What do you think?

Is there an iPhone app that allows a mouse cursor overlay on android tv

Good day,

I'm considering buying a new streaming device, but I'm seriously in doubt which is the better choice.

Both:

• Remote with Backlight (important!)
• Ethernet

Nokia:

• Cheaper (99€ vs 160€) -Android 10
• Old processor?

Nvidia:

• More powerful?
• Can control other devices via IR

I mainly use the box for Streaming Netflix (1080p), as a Plex Player (not server) and for some casual Splitscreen gaming using BT-Gamepads with friends, i.e Mario Kart and similar.

Any suggestions? Especially if the Nvidia gets an Android 10 update?

//Edit: Despite many suggested the Shield Pro rather the Tube, I went for it and couldn't be happier. Great experience and I love the remote to control my AV Receiver and TV all together.

My TV has chromecast built in and I can control my TV from my phone using Android TV Remote application. I just want to control it from my PC so that I can annoy my Siblings

Can someone who has a CC with GTV confirm if you can control it with your TV's remote using HDMI CEC? Everywhere I look people are talking about controlling the TV with the CC remote but I like using my TV's remote to control all my equipment. Thanks!

On the Google tv app I only see Crackle, Tubi, and Pluto even though I don't have them checked on my list of services. Any ideas? I tried clearing data and cache. No luck.

Hello guys,

​

Quick introduction, I'm an Android Developer, most of my experience is based on TV Applications.

After working on different ATV apps and different STBs for customers I have decided to spend some time building my own ATV Application. I have a strong idea of what kind of app I want to develop, but I would love to hear some opinions.

So.. I want to build an app to "rule them all", the idea is to implement multiple useful functionalities into a single app, functionalities like: news aggregator, weather, smart home control, tv guide, player (where you can use a stream URL to play something), radio, integration of the analog signal of the TV to the app (This thing might open a lot of cool features). Beside these I still have some on my list, but not for the first version of the app.

- What is missing from your ATV experience and you would like to have?

- Do you think that something like this can work?

- Would you use such an app?

- Whats your experience in relation with third party apps (Not these from the big guys, like Google, Youtube) ?

​

Any thoughts? :D

​

Thanks!

So I recently picked up this beauty and I want to unlock it's full potential. I am currently looking to add these things:.

Ethernet.
2 TB External HDD
Xbox 360 controller adapter (can also use a Dualshock 4 via BT).
Wireless keyboard and mouse.

What hub would be the best for my situation?

Also, what controllers are people using for PS Remote Play? My Dualshock 4 will connect via BT but "is not supported by my device" for remote play (AMD Link works fine).

I've read somewhere that using a torrent streaming app is bad due to being constantly writing and deleting data multiple times and because memory chips have a limited number of times they can be written to, torrent streaming eats into that.

Is this a legit concern that I should have? If so, how can I decrease the risk of messing up my TV? I've been using Stremio for quite some time, but I never heard about this until now.
