Hello I have a budget 4kTV and HDR on the Netflix app looks awful especially on certain shows like Witcher and The Crown. Unfortunately there's no option in Netflix to turn off HDR. Neither does the TV for in-built apps.

Does the Mi Box give an option to force HDR off on apps like Netflix or for the output in general?

Jetstream 4k Just got a new tv, vizio p series 2020 version.

I have a lg 2.1 sound bar connected via optical

On my last tv I would max the sound bar volume and then control the volume through the Android tv.

On the vizio this method has issues with some apps.

Plex: works fine if I disable audio pass through

Youtube: works fine no settings changed

Prime video and Netflix: if the Android tv is set to anything besides mute, the volume is maxed out from the speakers and I have to use the lg remote to control volume

Should I be looking at a tv or Android setting to fix this? Is there a way to disable audio pass through on all apps like I can with Plex

Edit: I've tried just about every audio setting I can find on both Android tv and the vizio with no luck.

I wonder if a shield would fix the issue?

Edit 2: after doing some reading in some old Nvidia shield forums I found I can solve my issue by disabling all surround sound on the Android tv. I think this is fine because I have a 2.1 set up. However if I had a 5.1 there might not be a way to solve it. Possibly with arc but it's unclear to me.

Hello everybody! I'm here to ask if anyone would mind testing a recent TCL Android TV with a Chromecast w/ Google TV remote, specifically because:

The one that shipped with it is kind of ugly in my opinion, and I tried to Bluetooth connect a Fire TV voice remote and it had a couple notable issues: mainly with Google Assistant, it wouldn't work and asked me to 'pair' the Fire TV remote to use voice controls (in a way different than with Bluetooth, a button combo hardcoded with the stock remote). Therefore, before I buy a third party remote (I have my eyes set on the 'replacement' CCWGTV remote on the Google Store, it's glorious), I want to make sure all the functions work alright, without the errors I faced with the Fire TV remote.

Thank you!

I bought a Sony Bravia tv from the official sony store in China, it has none of the gapps, what do I do?. Can I install different software on the TV that's not the Chinese one? Can I just download and install APK and there is an app I want that I am not sure that is on apkpure or other sites so can I just download the APK of the Google Play services and Play Store??

Hi guy's.. Can anyone help me to setup the widgets on atv launcher for the mi box 3 .what are the adb commands to enable widgets!! Can you guys post a step by step tutorial!! Happy new year to all of you!!

When i installed button mapper app on my x900h, i was happy to map those 4 color buttons in my remote to my fav apps for one click access. But the problem is... Without doing any changes in app, my volume keys increase/decrease the volume level by only 1 point even if i hold it longer period. This is bit annoying. Did anybody found solution to this problem?

When I search on Google TV it always responds talking to me like "playing ... on youtube". Its really load and quite annoying, but I cant find any way to disable it in the settings. I have talkback and every other accessibility option but its still not gone. Any help?

Hey guys, I wanna make a question. I wanna see a movie playing on a local channel but I want be able to watch it. So I'm gonna record it. Can anyone confirm that the movie will be recorded even if the tv is off? My tv is an Android tv running 7.1.2

Hi there,

I've tried (assuming it was an embedded feature) to turn off my TV screen (not the TV itself) to listen to music using Google Home, and it turned off my TV... In the same fashion, I also tried to enable/disable Ambilight, but it didn't work either.

My TV name is "TV OLED" and I tried the following commands (in French though):

Ok Google, turn off TV OLED screen
Ok Google, turn on TV OLED screen
Ok Google, turn off Ambilight on TV OLED
Ok Google, turn on Ambilight on TV OLED
Ok Google, disable Ambilight on TV OLED
Ok Google, enable Ambilight on TV OLED

None of these commands have worked, is there a way? As I plugged my Shield TV on it, I don't want to use multiple remotes... As the Shield remote as no button to turn off the screen not control Ambilight, I thought this could be a nice alternative but... No luck

Did someone manage to do it ? (Of course I can turn on/off my TV either by turning TV OLED or Shield TV on/off with voice commands, but I want more control)

Hi guys - I was wondering what’s the best app with a clean simple UI for viewing photos (&videos) from a usb drive connected to my Sony android TV. I’ve tried the media player that comes with Sony TVs and although it’s great for watching videos, the photos however take ages to load up. VLC and Kodi work okay but don’t really have a friendly UI for my parents to use. I appreciate any advice that you guys can provide. Thanks .

I have two TVs: 1 newer digital TV and one older analog TV. My analog TV (+- 30 years old) still works with Charter cable, albeit with some headaches.

Would the analog TV work with Google TV? It's a DAEWOO

Coming from a regular android TV, the UI is.... a difference.

Despite having uninstalled "Disney+" and "Joyn", and having disabled them in "customization options" I STILL get a full screen AD for all of these. None of my Plex, Arte and other stuff shows up in the "Reccomendations System"

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'd like to set up GoogleTV for my apartment, but I don't have an IPhone. I understand that you need an "app" to install Google TV?

Unfortunately, I have an old Chromebook and I don't think that would work...

Does anyone know how to find the MAC address on a TCL Android TV?

I have the box set up properly and used for so long on android 9...there isn't an ota update available...

Using the update pack downloaded from the company site, does it erase everything?

If so, is there a way to backup and restore after update?

For better picture quality, is it better to turn on or off the Match Content Dynamic range in the settings? I did notice that whenever I turn it on, the gamma setting on my tv changes from ST 2084 to BT 1886 and im not really sure which one is better

Trying to figure out how to download the Disney plus app to my tv but it doesn’t show up in the App Store. Is there another way to get it?

Hello, I have a logitech dual action classic remote but my tv box vontar a95x f3 with android 9 does not recognize it. I have searched but I do not get any request for that, can you help me?

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a vpn connection to my windows Server by pptp, but I can't see any option of vpn in android tv.

Thanks and sorry for my English!

Hey

I bought the Android TV Stick and when I put low sound it gets noise like distorted sound or static sound. Can you help me? It is not from TV, because when I watch from Vodafone or from the PC through HDMI everything is perfect. I already remove and put again HDMI and I already tried reposition.
