Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue with Android TV. I'd like to also use my fire stick but every time it turns off and back on, the fire stick remote can no longer control the volume. When I go into fire stick equipment settings, it shows TV as Samsung even though I set it as TCL (which to me means it reset).

​

I know this is kind of a cross-over post but hopefully someone could please help.

Hey guys question! Does the software update only update/fix anything related to the android tv software or does it also update and fix any technical issues the tv might have?

Recently, I bought a TCL 55C716. I pulled the trigger even though there are not a lot of reviews for this model. I bought this for around $590 here in PH. Since we're still waiting for the PS5 release here in our country, I'm using this TV for my 2nd gen PS4 fat. When I tried to use the HDR on PS4 there is a noticeable delay on the audio. When the HDR is on, the shotclock, buzzer and whistle sound (NBA 2K20) from the TV lags behind the sound coming from the controller speaker. But when I turn off the HDR, they seem to be in sync. I tried to tweak a lot of settings from the TV, turn on the Game Mode, and replace the HDMI cable to 2.0 but it was the same. Is anybody here experiencing the same issue? Does this also happen when using PS4 Pro/PS5? I'm afraid that this will also be an issue when my PS5 arrives.

PS. There is also an audio delay when using the Bitstream (Dolby/DTS) on PS4 but I fixed it by using Linear PCM.

Trying to put together something for a family member to watch movies from on their TV from and HDD or SSD, I am also buying the HDD or SSD they'll use so at least I can insure that will be compatible. I need it to play back videos deally in multiple formats (MKV, ect) and have some easy to use controls on the TV. The house doesn't have a computer to use otherwise I would just set up a media server and play it from a console.

I looked at Nvidia shield and that looked a bit too expensive for the Christmas budget.

Looking for recommendation, doesn't need to be very functional for internet streaming or anything else.

How do I put this remote I'm pairing mode so I can connect it to my shield TV?

Please Make A Chromecast Ultra With Google TV equipped with an amlogic s908x, 4gb+ ram, and google home mini functionality.

This would be a better alternative to both the nvidia shield tv and fire tv cube.

Stuttering during local videos (Google movies).

Audio cuts out across multiple apps.

Wifi randomly disconnects.

Everything works better on my Smart TV.

You get what you pay for. Im happy i got a CCU on the way with Cyberpunk preorder... This thing is getting put in the kids room.

Hello, I have a Android TV box (TVB-100) and I keep receiving a notification on my phone, "A device on your WiFi is casting to your device" or something similar. Is there any way to disable recieving these notifications?

Thank you in advance

Hey guys. Does anyone know where to find and change the time that it takes for ambient mode to turn on on Google TV? It turns on automatically after like 5 minutes and I would like to make it longer but I can't find the setting anywhere. I was able to change it on my old Mi Box but not on here. Thanks.

I am trying my darnest to have my TV play files from my PC plugged in on the same router. When I plug in a USB drive to the TV, there is a notification of if I want to look at the USB. If I hit "yes", it brings me to a screen with an icon of the USB drive, an icon of network sharing that doesn't do anything, and if I wait one more second my PC shows up. I can access my PC's shared files from here. My question is how can I access this menu without plugging in a USB drive?

When i connect vpn in my mibox 4k it’s disconnect from internet via Ethernet connection.but when i connect via wifi then its connect quickly to vpn.I use nord vpn in my box but it’s can’t connect through Ethernet connection but it’s quickly connect via wifi.did anyone face the issue?

Does anyone know of an app or how to view the resource usage in Android TV? Like in windows by pressing control alt delete

The settings menu doesn't have any options for setting resolution. My TV is 4K so Android is outputting at 4K, but I prefer for it to run at 1080P instead.

My TV only supports 30hz at 4K so I'd rather do 1080p at 60hz.

Is there an app in the store that can force a lower resolution or any other solution?

The box in question is the Dynalink Android TV from Walmart.

I think I can't but just confirming. I signed out of YouTube which should mean that whatever our guests watch (kids usually) won't mess up my own recommendations, but it's still recommending stuff on the main screen based on my Google account history. Nothing terrible but not really stuff for kids and it gets in the way.

So there's no way to clean this up without going full apps only mode?

Side note, I'm otherwise really enjoying the new Chromecast, but that might be because I was so used to swearing at my old Samsung TV's UI :)

(The Google TV sub told me to come here.)

Just curious when the old Google Play Movies & TV web experience will be replaced with the new Google TV web app, or at least when browsing Google TV content will be made available on the web.

I watch a lot of my content on desktop and would appreciate an update to mirror the mobile experience. I love the direction Google is taking with Google TV and I am excited to see the platform grow. I see that tv.google is currently just an introductory landing page.

Once it's ready, I hope to see the use of PWA tech to allow offline content on web/desktop as well. This is the main reason for me asking around really.

Has anyone experimented with sideloading the newer version of the Android TV settings app to see if this option works?

Hi,

​

Sideloaded Google TV launcher on my Android TV and see the new interface but some settings appear to not work. For example, "Get Better Recommendations" and clicking on my "Account Settings" where the "Apps-only mode" option lives kicks me back to home screen. Any thoughts?

I know there are some question about this but I don't find the right answer that chromecast will work if I use ethernet connection. Because I want to make sure before I buy the ethernet adapter, I need that because my 100 mbps speed became 30 mbps in mibox s wireless connection

Hello,

I recently bought a Sony Android TV. It works fine with all the regular google play/google store apps.

I tried to upload a few games by downloading APK on google drive and then installing them with X-Plore. They do show up under apps but when I try to open them, they get stuck. I cant seem to go beyond the main page of these apps.

Am I doing something wrong or is the APK file corrupt?

Any good sites to download APK files?

Still trying to figure out the sideloading process so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I just bought the MI TV Stick and its working really good for me. However, one thing that has been a letdown is the internal storage of the device. Only 5gb is available out of the total 8gb. So i wanted to ask if there is anyway to increase the storage via external ssd/hdd/flash drive/ micro sd card or etc? If there is, please tell me. TIA

One thing about the IR control on the Remote.
Is that projectors like sony, LG, etc. They don't have a ir option for it i tried sony with all the codes and it did not work. They should make that as a update soon.

It's just absysmal right now.

GeForce Now - great for shield TV but the big publishers are unwilling to commit to it

XBOX GamePass Ultimate - unsupported on android TV but your YMMV with sideloading and even if you get it to work, 720P only

Stadia - again, unsupported on android TV + general consumer distrust that google won't commit to it.

PsNow - need a PC to stream it to androidTV. The PC interface is rage inducing and there's a ton of shovelware to sift through

...

That leaves local streaming as the local options:

Xbox Series S/X. No streaming to other devices

PS4/5 remoteplay: sideloading needed YMMV

GeForce experience: it works but not everything works smoothly from the couch (computer could be locked, games that lack controller support, etc). I ended going with this option with reluctance.

I think it's safe to say that cloud gaming won't be taken seriously this generation by the big players

I have two shields that are perfectly capable of streaming games. Just offer something and take my money dammit :)

EDIT 1 - seems I should give stadia a shot (I still don’t trust googles commitment level given their track record)

EDIT 2 - PC streaming clearly is the winner (I would agree, as I use GFE local streaming)

EDIT 3 - when is Sony and Microsoft going to get their act together and take TV-based cloud gaming seriously?

Hi, I'm looking to buy my first tv with Android. So I'm interested in the "sharp 65bl5ea". When I looked up the specs and compared it to some other android TVs i noticed that this Sharp only has 1.5gb ram, it seems to be the least ram you can find on an android tv. Now I wonder if that is even enough to ensure fast operation of the tv?

My android tv remote control works on my phone when my box is connected via wifi but If I connect my android tv box with a wired connection it just doesn't show up on my phone. What about you guys? Ps. Both devices are on the same network
