Multiple ACTIVE controllers on Chromecast with Google TV...?

Hi all,

I've been looking around but can't find a definitive answer.

I know that multiple controllers can be connected to the new Chromecast with Google TV but I'm getting mixed results when it comes to actually using more than one.

For example, if I wanted to emulate Mario Kart, I have no doubt that I could connect any Bluetooth controller (or wired) and be on my way but what if I wanted to play local co-op? Is it possible for 2 (or more) Bluetooth (or wired) controllers to be connected to the new Chromecast with Google TV AND active at the same time, allowing for local co-op?

Prime Video Played HDR10 instead of 10+ most of the times and the subtitles are out of sync

So i have a tcl Android tv which supports HDR10+, i have watched the boys and jack ryan on it and in most of the episodes it just loads HDR10 instead of 10+, and closing and training again and again and every 5-6 times, it once opens up the 10+ , but next time its standard 10 again

Also the subtitles are delayed by like 2 seconds which is annoying to say the least, if anyone has any solutions for the above problems pls share

(I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it)

EDIT 1: Manually updating the firmware(linked in comments) increased performance alot and the next day prime Video HDR bug fixed itself, its now constantly loading HDR10+

PS. The subtitles still lag by 2-3 seconds so i ended up disabling subtitles

Capable to power off specific device when changing hdmi input?

Hi, as per title, I'm wondering if it's possible to auto power off a device when changing hdmi input?

For example, on my sony bravia android tv, my sly box is plugged into hdmi port 1 and my nvidia shield is plugged into hdmi port 2. The reason I'm looking for this automated feature is because I'd like to be able to power off any streaming service on the shield if someone changes over to sly if I'm not home so that no data is being wasted.

Not sure if possible, but any help appreciated. Thanks

nvidia shield can turn off my Okyo Receiver, but not off

(Edit: Messed up the title. Hope you get the meaning.)

I replaced my Chromecast gen 2 with a 2019 shield, and it works great except that it won't turn on my receiver. Turning the reciever off (or power-save mode to be clear) works fine, but once off the shield won't turn it on again. The Chromecast never had this issue and it's plugged in the same port. Anyone got any ideas?

Can I turn on my Android tv using Google Assistant?

I've recently bought a mi Android TV 4A, I just want command using Google Assistant my TV when it is turned off. I've also noticed that is impossible to get linked using Chromecast connection if my TV is off, Google Assistant is not able to reach the device. So, in other words, if the TV is off , it is dead. I have been using Chromecast for years and I am able to do that (thanks to HDMI-CEC), and I just want it behaves like an external Chromecast device. It is possible to achive that? Thanks.

Chromecast with Google TV vs Sony with Android TV

I recently purchased the new Chromecast with Google TV for my old bedroom TV. I love it! The UI and remote are a welcome addition to general casting. I also have a Stadia controller and I can't wait until support for Stadia rolls in Q1 of 2021. I'm looking to buy a new TV for my living room. The Sony X750H comes with Android TV built-in. I really want to stick with Sony but I've heard many people complaining about how their TVs stop working after 3-5 years. I know it's a gamble whenever you buy anything as you might just end up with the 10% that is faulty but I'd like to believe on average a TV (especially Samsung or Sony) should last at least 5 years. I know the new Chromecast is beefed up from previous versions with 8GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, & 4K support at 60FPS. Will I get the same specs for the Android TV streaming on my Sony TV or less? Is it marginal? I guess if it's a significant difference in how smooth the UI is & how well (and if) Stadia will work on it natively versus Chromecast with Google TV, it will make my decision easier and I'll opt for the less expensive Samsung TU700 or a Vizio of equal-ish quality and buy another Chromecast. If the experience is the same, then I'll bite the bullet take the risk, and hope the best. I genuinely love Sony TVs and hate Samsung displays, UI, and Bixby. Let me know if I can find out what specs are for Android TV on Sony TVs or at least how the experience differs from using the new Chromecast with Google TV. Thanks for bearing with my long post!

Extra Remote Control Now Available for Chromecast Youtube TV

The Google Store now has a "replacement" or extra remote for your Chromecast Google TV dongle. Just $19.95 plus shipping. I've been using a FireTV voice remote as my extra and it mostly works great, but that one does not have a working "voice command" ability. The Chromecast Google TV remote does have that great feature. Available in 3 colors - here's the link: https://store.google.com/us/config/chromecast_google_tv_voice_remote?hl=en-US

Super Mario 64 on Android TV

Has anyone had any success with compiling the sm64port on their Android TV?
You need to install Termux from the Play store, add to dependencies and make it.

https://github.com/VDavid003/sm64-port-android

That's the theory anyway. My phone can compile and run the APK but my Google TV for Chromecast goes through the motions but no APK. It would be nice to play with a bluetooth controller on the big screen.

How much of an impact the lack of ethernet port has on the mibox?

I’m considering getting a mibox and saw it doesn’t have a physical connection only WiFi. The box will sit near the router which seems a bit of a shame since I have great download speeds. My question is how much of an impact using the wifi over a physical connection will have on streaming 4K content.

Xbox One S Controller can't use select/start buttons?

I have connected my Xbox One S controller to my Hisense Android TV (9.0). Everything seems to work great except it doesn't register the menu or start button or pushing down on the joysticks. When I go to Steam Link button mapping, I can't map those buttons at all and it doesn't seem to register at all.

Any thoughts or ideas? I've tried updating the controllers firmware, it's on the latest software via Xbox Accessory app. I've also unpaired and tried new batteries.

Mi TV Stick disconnecting GameSir T1Ss

Video

It takes hours for me to be able to get GameSir keep connected to MiTV Stick, as I show in the video it suddenly disconnects after some seconds.

What I know: It's a Mi TVStick problem. Tried in Mi Box, WI-FI dongle and some Android phones, no problem at all. Not sure if it's just my stick or any. It's not a bluetooth interference. Have no problem with any other device, couldn't test with another joystick tho.

What have I tried: Reconnect with/without unpair. Connecting from different joystick modes. Connecting from Bluetooth Pair app(couldn't connect). Leave only one(GameSir Joystick) device connected. Probably more but I don't remember rn.

What rarely work: Making GameSir joystick itself connect to MiTVStick by turning off and on the joystick, then it will connect to Mi Stick and don't disconnect, but it takes many attempts to work. It should work always as any android device(because the Joystick always try to reconnect to the last device once it is turned on), I think Mi Stick is denying the reconnection or something.

If anyone get through something like this, I would like some help. Would also like to know if there's anyone with the same problem.
