Just got an android tv today, I'm trying out sideloaded apps and such. I loaded the PlayStation App onto my TV and it appears to be confused on where to display it. Half the screen becomes black with the left side becoming distorted and stretched. Im sure this is because this app wasn't meant for a TV, but are there any remedies for something like this? I figured I would ask before I give up.

TV is Sony X900H

I had my Hisense Android TV for about two or 3 months and it just got an update I downloaded today and has this new advanced settings feature called "Content Type Auto Detection" and I would just like to know if anybody knows what this does and if it gives you input lag because i have a console and i play often and want the lowest input lag possible, I looked it up and cant find anything about it so please I wanna know what it does and if it gives input lag in game mode, thanks

I've tried a few apps to play HDR content, but none of them seems to be switching the TV into HDR mode.

Does anyone know if there are any video players that will support this?

So I have an Android TV box now, but it comes with a mediocre Chinese launcher. What apps would you guys recommend to replace it? I've heard the official launcher isn't good anymore, and I feel like setting up something custom with Nova would just take way too long. Are there any particularly good ones that are available on the Play Store or whatever?

Hello, I have the Xiaomi Mi 4S, which is of course an androidTV. When it is connected to my router via wifi I can cast everything to it with my phone or PC. However when I connect my TV to the router directly via an ethernet cable, its unable to be casted to. It still has proper internet connection, just via the cable now of course. But it does not pop up in the list of devices to cast to when i want to cast with my phone or pc. Also I did check whether the tv and my phone and pc are connected to the same network, which they are. So does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

I recently got a Xiaomi Mi TV 4S with Android TV, I have an issue where Netflix automatically changes the Picture settings to a Preset one , named HDR, and everytime I play a movie/video, I have to manually switch the setting to custom. Is there a way I can avoid this?

I selected a movie I have watched for years (Elf) and nothing happens when I click on Play Movie. Tries to load up the movie, but then just goes back to the same page. Really frustrated by this!!

Device : Shield Android TV, Model P2571
Version: 8.2.1(32.8.435.31)

I have a RCA sound bar that I'm using the optical output to the optical input in my TCL Android TV. In the settings there isn't even an option for audio. Help please!!!

i am supposed to put a script here ~/.termux/boot/

i cant find it anywhere. any idea where i can find it?

I recently purchased the new Chromecast with Google TV and while things run fine in general, watching content on Netflix is impossible to watch due to very unbalanced audio where any music or background noise simply drowns out the dialogue.

This does not happen on the TV channels themselves and also not on the embedded Netflix App on my Sony Bravia TV. I actually had to switch back to that slow and terrible App about 10 minutes in because it was unbearable.

I have tried turning off the Surround Sound toggle in the Settings, but unfortunately this change made 0 difference. I have also tried to switch the general sound settings on my TV but also this made no difference (tried Clear Voice option, Automatic Audio, etc.)

Netflix is the streaming app I use the most so if I can't use it, there is not much point using the new Chromecast sadly.

Does anyone have/had similar issues? Any idea on how to tweak this?

Hi, i'm trying to make a setup and trying to figure out if the NVIDIA shield TV Pro is enough to play this movie

2160p
UHD
BluRay
TrueHD 7.1 
HDR 
x265

Or do i need specific TV or any 4K TV can play TrueHD sound without any problem and same with app which app is the best?

Trying to buy everything to make future proof 4K environment.

I used to like opening the Google Play Store to see which of my apps were recently updated. That has been missing for a while now. Anyone know why they removed it?

or would the difference between those and my tivo stream be negligible and i should get a shield tube

I am considering giving my brother a Xiaomi Mi Box S for Christmas. He has a few movies on a external harddrive, which can be played with VLC or Kodi.

My question is, can he somehow upload new movies to the harddrive while it is inserted in the Mi Box?

I bought a new Chromecast with Google TV w/ remote... I wanted to install the Youtube app, couldnt find it, when I pressed the button on the remote, it took me to the Youtube app download page, but it says that the youtube app IS NOT AVAILABLE IN MY COUNTRY (Peru).

I dont understand this, I have a pixel phone and I have the app installed.. I even have the youtube app installed on my AMAZON FIRE TV STICK, signed in with my google account... And I go and buy a product from Google themselves and your own app doesnt work on your own device??????? Im sorry but that is just beyond stupid.

I have so many google products, from phone to nest, to chromecasts, etc.. this so dissapointing! There is no point in using the chromecast cause I watch youtube and netflix.. I have BOTH on my firestick.. i changed to google because I have the other products and since this is your first version with a remote I decided to change my firestick for it, theres no point if Ill have to watch netflix on chromecast and youtube on firestick!!!! when I have both installed on my firestick! This is such a joke!!! Get your sh together Google!!!

**EDIT:

Hey guys, sorry for the late update. Just in case anyone is wondering, there is a solution that was mentioned in the comments by: mustang_vst (thanks a lot!) I have a friend that lives in USA, he created an account for me, gave me the credentials, and then I used it to login to the chromecast. I had previously formatted to factory default. When I entered the USA gmail account, in the default services that appeared, the option for YouTube was enabled. After that I reformatted the device, and when I used my regular NON USA gmail, the option to install YouTube was still there! I took a picture but cant figure out how to attach, hope you take my word for it, it worked! So thanks again to mustang_vst and everyone else that chipped in with their solutions!
