Hello,

Is there any appwith more advanced modes to control official Abilight in my Philips 2020? It works with video well, but want to get better results for music visualization.

Or just set it to display colors for each LED I select.

Hi all!

So for some context, I'm a British expat living abroad in the Netherlands. Since I've moved, it's been a pain to try and find the old shows I used to watch in the UK as well as streaming sports/football.

So I'm looking at getting an Android TV box of some description and the two that seem to be most commonly available are the Xiaomi mi box S, and the fire stick.

Is there any advice as to which I should get? They both seem pretty similar but I'm not sure which is better at what I want:

1. Performs well and doesn't lag/glitch
2. Supports 4K
3. Most importantly, can get me Kodi (Or whatever else can get me British TV and football)

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, currently trying to sideload the ITV hub android tv version to my Hisense H8G, But I'm getting an error "Application unavailable" "The manufacturer and/or operating system provider for this device has not secured the necessary rights for this application" does anyone have a version/modded apk that gets around this?

I have a TCL TV with Android Built in and I've been having issues with Amazon quite often (lots of stuttering and such). Then I said well let's see if there is an update and realized it isn't in the store anymore. Anyone know what's going on with this?

I just recently purchased a TCL with Android TV. I set up my Chromecast and CEC works fine as long as powering on and switching input to the chromecast. But when I power off using the Chromecast remote, the TV doesn't turn off. I've dug through all the settings on both devices and can't figure it out.

It worked fine on a TCL TV with Roku.

Any ideas on how to get it to work?

I purchased the DIY Dream Color Ambilight kit from MegaHotDeal. It's the same kit that can be found at dozens of other drop-shipping sites around the internet. This is my first Reddit post, but if I figure out how, I'll post a screenshot of what I bought.

Anyway... It is my understanding that while these lights used to only work with Windows, MacOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi, they are now supposed to work with any Android TV or Android Box.

I have a brand new 2020 Sony Bravia 900X and I can't figure out what I need to do to make the lights work. I know I need some kind of software to read the screen and configure the horizontal and vertical LED count, but where do I get that? And do I download the software/app to a phone or directly to the TV?

I'm kinda lost and any help on getting this to work would really be appreciated.

Anybody have any chess and/or checkers apps that are confirmed working on Android TV? I've tried sideloading a few, but keep getting a "App not installed" error.

So, my family recently bought a Sony Smart TV and have been getting used to it. We have installed CBS All Access but when we return the tv off, it will disappear from the displayed apps. It's still labeled as installed in the settings menu, but we can't access it like other apps such as Netflix or Hulu. CBS seems to be the only app that does this. Does anyone know why it keeps doing this?

Hi. So, today I got a mail from HBO saying that the HBO app would no longer work in a PS3, wich I still used as my main media player. My Panasonic TV does support Netflix, but not HBO or Amazon.

I've looking at the Xiaomi stuff, the Mi TV Stick is cheap but I've read that is quite slow because of a low RAM. The Mi Box look good but apparently there's some issues with Amazon Prime? It also has a USB port wich the Stick doesn't, and that could come handy for some local media playing.

I'd mainly use it for streaming (does Kodi work well in these?), but I'd love to be able to play some retro emulators too. How's the gamepad compatibily in both those models? I've a wired cheap gamepad, an Xbox 360 wired pad and a PS3 bluetooth gamepad. Would any of these work?

What should I get? Should I look into other brands, like Fire TV or the new Chromecast? I'm from Spain, so some stuff like Roku may not be in here, and the Nvidia Shield is way off budget for me. Also, my TV is 1080p, so 4K compatibily is not a necessity.

Thanks.

I've had my Chromecast working fine with a usb hub for a couple weeks now. LAN connected, usb stick recognised, everything was fine. Yesterday it just stopped recognizing it at all. It still turns on but no additional storage is found and it's only connecting to wifi. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone can suggest a decent android TV box? Im currently running an old FireTV stick but it’s slowly losing any functionality and it’s increasingly frustrating, I only use that on my bedroom TV and have an Android TV/Sky downstairs.

I’m Hoping there may be an Android TV box out there that runs Sky Go as I’d like to be able to catch up on some documentaries which are available on Sky Go, they don’t have an actual TV app, as obviously they’d charge extra for that, but I’m hoping the android phone app could be used maybe?

Any help and recommendations would be appreciated.

Every now and then, my Android box emits a super loud binging sound. Does anyone know why it does this? It is pretty loud and annoying.

Hello. I acquired an older NAS from a friend and wanted to set it up as a media server. I explored installing Plex on it but unfortunately the NAS is too old and slow to run it (ReadyNAS NV+ V1). the smart tv isnt much better, it is a discount hisense i got last black friday.

VLC player runs the media files fine enough. I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a lightweight media player that will mark files as completed so i can keep track of what ive watched.

i know i can install plex on a local machine but ideally i want to be able to play media on my nas without needing another pc to be on

preferably it would support file types like mkv, avi, and mpeg

Hello

​

I am new to this channel and looking for help. I just purchased Google Chromecast with Google TV, I normally use perfect player for my IPTV, however I get constant buffering on the Chromecast. When I was using a cheap Chinese box I never had issues.

​

My speed test is 20 MBPS so there is no issue there, and again if I use the other box no issues.

​

Would anyone be able to recommend a M3U player with EPG that works with Google Chromecast with Google TV.

​

Thanks

Hi everyone, requesting any assistance on my issue. I just bought the Mi TV Box S today(November 10)for my older 55’’ TCL 55P65US. This is a Linux OS Tv with HDMI CEC support.

I have seen some issues with this setup with the MI TV BOX S.

INFORMATION: — updated to latest Android TV 9 — connected via High Speed HDMI cable to an HDMI ARC port in the TV — existing Roku Ultra, Nintendo Switch, and Digital box connected to another HDMI port via an HDMI splitter — PS4 connected to the last HDMI port (TCL tv only have 3 ports)

ISSUES: Mi Box S android 9 — volume buttons not working when inside the app and playing video(Netflix/Prime etc when playing) but works outside playthrough and in the main homepage of Android TV — HDMI CEC support not working for MI Box S even though it is enabled in the TV and my Roku Ultra is able to open the tv and control the tv’s volume; whilst the Xiaomi Mi Box S cannott

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WHAT TO DO? No guide online seems available how to fix this. In addition, can I just pair my Roku Ultra remote to the Mi Box S? Can I also pair another Android Tv remote to the Mi Box S(i have a TCL android Tv recently bought)

I need the Android Tv because Roku is useless outside the US and I am currently in Asia, only Apps I have available is Youtube and Netflix.

So I tried to watch Ready Player One in 4k HDR on my new TCL 43S434 using Google Play Movies & TV. Running the latest updated version of Android TV. It detects Dolby Vision and plays it using that. Issue is that the screen is a purple color and stays that way. The movie plays, I can hear sound and the music from the beginning intro credits.

Thinking I may have an issue with playing HDR movies in general I tried another movie that's 4k and HDR, The Predator(yea, I know), and it works fine and looks great, the TV identifies it as HDR10. The only difference is Ready Player One is the only 4k HDR movie I have that has Dolby Vision. It has the purple screen issue. Other HDR movies do not.

Is there a way to disable Dolby Vision and force HDR10? Or is there something else I can do? The TV itself is great and I like Android TV so far.

Thanks for any help that is provided.

My wife and I are looking to get an Android TV. Shudder is really behind in the app department sometimes. (Looking at the lack of PS4 apps 4 years later) Anyway, has anyone with an Android TV used the Shudder App?

I largely have an Apple environment, but I have an Android based projector (XGMI H2).

I can mirror my phone to the screen, but as soon as I use the AppleTV app, it all stops working. Anyone got it to work, and what software did you use on the Android device?

Thanks

It keeps going back 1 hour, even if I set time manually

Anyone had this issue and fixed it?
