Printscreen on Android TV via Smartphone.

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a TV (TCL 55 "P8M) and through the TCL app (Magic Connect) I was able to take screenshots of the TV and share on social networks through the smarphone, however, the TV received an update and does not take more printscreen of any program, like IPTV, among others, it takes printscreen only of buttons and menus that are superimposed on videos. I know that on Netflix it was not possible, but in any and all video app? I think this is a huge slut, I tried everything , I installed another app and I couldn't, I changed the settings and permissions and nothing yet ... do I have to root the TV to get it? Is there any other way?

Network Debugging Chromecast w/ Google TV

Need some help.

I'm wanting to use the "Refresh Rate" app, to remap my TV remotes home button to the home button for Google TV. I was able to do this on Nvidia Shield and it worked perfectly. However, doing this requires you to enable Network Debugging. Chromecast with Google TV has no option for Network Debugging. What can I do?

Philips 43PUS7354/12 turning on by itself

I've seen a couple of threads with this issue, but I have yet to find a solution.

My TV keeps turning on by itself, and it always starts with Google Movies trailers. The only way I can go to this mode myself is to press the "TV"-button on the remote (Imagelink on bottom). It happens most during the night, and I think it only happens when I am near the TV, as if it has some sensor or something. The frequency varies. The other night it turned itself on 2-3 times in two hours. I removed remote batteries to see if the remote was faulty, but it happened again. I've factory reset the TV.

I know it has turned itself on the moment I've entered the room or sometimes passed the TV.

I've seen some forums suggesting some IR-blaster (?) from the phone could be the issue, but wouldn't it happen all the time if that was the issue? I'ev also tried literally dancing in front of the TV to see if there is some motion detection or anything, though that wouldn't make sense as it keeps turning on at night (When I'm not moving).

I have a USB-drive connected, but it does happen with and without it. No HDMI connected. Power unplugged multiple times Factory reseted Only one phone in the room (Galxy S9).

Anyone experienced anything similar?

New Google tv setup, many issues

Just hooked up my gtv last night and it has been plagued with issues. Just FYI. I have a roku ultra, fire tv 2nd generation box and nvidia shield, hooked up to the same denon avr and LG 4k tv. They all work fine with none of the following issues.

  1. Won't recognize my 4k tv, top resolution available is 1080p

  2. Disney+ doesn't work. Get error code 39 whenever I try to play a title.

  3. Prime video doesn't work. Gives me an hdmi connection error message.

This is what I have found, so far. Crave tv works, which makes me wonder if Disney and Amazon issues are geolocation related. My primary Google account was originally setup in the USA, that's the account all my YouTube and assistant is connected to. I have a secondary Canadian account that I use, strictly for getting Canadian apps. This works fine on shield tv, just have to switch accounts in the store when getting apps. I have changed my primary account to the Canadian one, but, it hasn't resolved the issues.

The ui looks nice and it's pretty snappy. Wish the theater control was hdmi-cec, like the shield, so you don't have to point for ir control.

Any Canadians out there having the same issues?

Thanks

Twitch APK with BTTV emotes and darkmode?

The official Twitch Android TV app does not support BTTV/FFZ emotes, so its kinda useless imo, as that's the majority of emotes used now a days.
I have been using an APK i found here on reddit with BTTV emotes, but it does not support dark mode.

Is there any Twitch client for Android TV that supports both?

Hisense 4K UHD HDR LED Android Smart TV (50H78G) - 2020 OR Sony 49" 4K UHD HDR LED Android Smart TV (XBR49X800H)

Hi,

I am looking to buy an android TV. Hisense is much cheaper but I have read some horrible reviews of it being very buggy and sluggish when using the apps.

Sony seems much better in build quality and picture quality but it's almost $250 more expensive. Also is this model the latest Sony android tv model?

On these android TVs can I download games from the google play store and play them using a Bluetooth controller. I do understand it won't run high graphic games but I am looking for casual gaming.

Anyone who has purchased either Hisense or Sony Android tv, can you please share your experience or any advice you might have?

Thanks in advance!!

Thoughts about TCL 55C715?

Hi.

I have a TCL 40S6500 already and I'm looking for an upgrade to a 4K TV. Most reviews I found about the C715 are paid reviews, so they only say good stuff about the TV and no cons...

I saw somewhere that when watching a 4K video on youtube, the TV doesn't change to 4K mode (like showing the resolution change on the corner) and Kodi reporting 1920x1080 on the resolution info.

Is this TV worth it?

Netflix android tv 480/540p

Hi, So Netflix on android tv was working fine until last 2 days

I have 2 Philips PUS8303 both have downgraded resolution these last 2 days

Network is fine, its 500 down and 20 up

Network test on tv shows 460-480(wifi) cannot get it wired

Netflix speed test shows 110-130Mbps but runs videos with 0.21mbps / 480 or 540

Tried this on both TVs, Tried this with different networks, tried this with mobile data all with the same result of 0.21mbps/480 or 540

I set up the Netflix profile to highest, restarted TVs, uninstalled updates on Netflix, reinstalled them, cleared cache, cleared data, logged out, restarted router, checked with Netflix support they say just do the steps they provide (nothing changed) cheeked with ISP everything is fine,

Netflix on Mobile, Laptop, Pc is fine as usual with usual resolutions 720p and 1080p

I gave up now so im coming here to ask you guys if anyone has an idea.

Thanks.
