Ever time I watch a show on my new Google TV chromecast with Amazon Prime Video it always wants to do incidental subtitles in Danish (I think it's danish). Not subtitles all the time, but when important stuff like text on video images or whispering segments that would normally get subtitled without closed captioning. And if I turn on CC it is danish all the time. I can change it in the video player options, but it only lasts through the current viewing session.

Is there some weird setting I don't know about that has me pranked into danish as a default language? On the amazon website? in the app? on my chromecast?

Just checked and now 4k HDR and Dolby Vision coming through the Movies Anywhere app! Not getting Atmos though!

Very frustrating. I can browse content all day but as soon as i try to play something it does this. All other services work without issue. This happening to anyone else? Anyone know a fix?

Edit: this is when using the new Google TV dongle

Overall, the performance of the new Chromecast is good - with the specific exception of the first few clicks whenever I start using it after a few hours. It lags and stuttered initially, then once it catches up, it's fine for the rest of the use session.

This is probably not normal, or I would have heard more about it in reviews. It sounds like a RAM problem to me. Is it possible for me to get a memory manager to see what's up?

I have a Shield and the new Chromecast w/Google TV. Same versions of YouTube on both, but only the Shield version has the latest and greatest scrub bar and YouTube Music library features.

I recognize that Google TV is based on Android TV, and actually not technically Android TV anymore, but don't you find it odd that Google's brand new banner device has an older, less capable YouTube Music experience for all of these new converts who are buying into the Google TV ecosystem now?

Any working prime app apk for mi box 3? Looking for india region

I'm having trouble making the built in chromecast pop up when i press the cast button on my apps like YouTube and hulu.

I have 2 Chromecast in my apartment, one regular Chromecast and the built in Chromecast on this tv.

The regular one works fine but the built in one doesn't. I've tried casting while an app is open and when the tv is in the home screen but it rarely appears no matter what.

The tv is running on my guest ssid but even when my phone and the tv are set to my non-guest ssid.

I've also casted successfully from my phone on non-guest ssid to tv on guest ssid before so i dont think its a problem about the ssid.

So what am i doing wrong? Is there an app i need to download or certain conditions i need to meet. Please help

Not sure how to ask this but will try my best- OK, when I purchased my SonyX900H and my Vizio PQX I bought the bestbuy two year warranty for each of them individually. In other words I have a two year warranty on the Sony and another two year warranty on the Vizio.

Seeing that the Vizio and Sony each come with a one year warranty. My question is what happens if something goes wrong with one of them within the first year?

I fear if I contact bestbuy they are going to tell me to contact Vizio or if its the Sony, they are going to tell me to contact Sony since each of them have a one year warranty.

I understand whatever is wrong should be covered with that one year warranty from the manufacturer but then whats the purpose of me paying bestbuy for two years if they won't do anything during the first year till after the manufacturer warranty runs out? Seems i would be paying bestbuy for nothing the first year . Right? Wrong?..

Fortunately nothing is wrong with either of my tvs but was just thinking what would happen, who to contact if something did within this first year of ownership.

I just fear bestbuy will say contact your manufacturer, it is covered, which would be true but than why in the world did I pay you guys for 2 years when you will only cover me during the second year?

Hope this makes sense and hope you can clear this up for me because right now I'm confused as to why I would pay them this first year.

Sorry I never had a decent tv before that required a warranty. Had enough money for 2 the first time in my life, so I never thought or knew anything about how this warranty thing worked before.

Thanks....

I would love to have more than one remote in our living room. Google doesn't show an extra remote available on their website. BUT there are "Android tv" remotes available on Ebay and Amazon that run off Bluetooth. Any chance these "universal" Android TV remotes will work with Google TV?

I have an unusual home theater setup, and am wondering whether the new Chromecast with Google TV can replace my aging HTPC's role given my surround sound setup. These days I mostly just stream Netflix/HBO/etc.

TL;DR: Can the CCwGTV be set to output 5.1 LPCM, transcoding e.g. Netflix 5.1 DD+? If you have one, maybe a screenshot of the audio setup options could help me figure it out?

More details about my current setup:

My Linux HTPC is connected to a projector and a funny little (but awesome) 5.1 tube amp. The amp cannot decode any kind of digital stream, but instead has 6 analog inputs corresponding to each channel. I currently get surround sound by passing my HTPC's HDMI output into a HDMI-audio splitter with 6 analog outputs, which works since the HTPC effectively does DD/DD+/AAC transcoding to 5.1 LPCM. (The HDMI splitter can only work with 5.1 LPCM, it also cannot decode anything itself.)

With this setup, I've got Netflix in 5.1 on Chrome thanks to the Netflix 1080p extension. (If I instead connect a Windows laptop, MS Edge does the same out of the box.)

It would be cool if CCwGTV could output 5.1 to my weird gear, and just replace my HTPC! :-)

Anyone know of a way to expand storage space on the mi tv stick?

Recently I've been seeing some problems with the new update to the mibox 4k and some mibox s users and wondering about everyone's experience with it. Some have had bricked devices others have had a host of connectivity issues. So I guess my question is is updating safe? I mostly use my mibox for media consumption on netflix and youtube but I have a decent set up on Kodi that I definitely don't want to lose and have to set up all over again if the update breaks some things and have to factory reset or have a bricked device at worst.

Hey mi tv stick users, are you guys having issues after recent update in mi stick?

Hello everyone, as stated in the title I think it's time to retire my WD TV live. It served me well in these years, but I think it's time to change for two main reasons: it doesn't support 4k output and can't read h265 encoded files, and modern streaming services don't work on it. I need the android box to have the following features:

-android TV certified os -under 80€ (I live in Italy If it can help) -certified for Amazon, Netflix and YouTube HD -SMB/CIFS network protocol support.

I was tempted by the mi box S but I noticed it doesn't have wired ethetnet connection. I'm worried because I need it to be able to read the video files shared on my local network that I store on my computer, and I fear that a wireless connection could cause problems, since some of them are very big 4k files, but if I'm wrong correct me. Anyway, any kind of help will be appreciated, thanks a lot in afvance.

Hi everyone,

I have been using the NVIDIA Shield for years now. Yesterday out of nowhere I went to watch YouTube and it said “login”, I thought weird but ok. I click on “log in” and the screen goes dim for a second and then just goes back to the same screen “log in”. I went into Settings and accounts and my google account is not there and when I click Add Account I can only add “shield” and “NVIDIA”. I clicked on the assistant and it said to log in and clicking on it does nothing. I went to the App Store and it says log in and clicking on it does nothing. I went to system apps and cleared data for “Google”, but nothing changed. I have no idea why this happened or how to fix it. But there is no way to log into a google account. Any ideas short of a factory reset? Thanks!

When I try to play something on prime video on my TIVO Stream 4k or my new Chromecast (2020), I get this error message: "We're unable to load the page. Go to home or close and reopen the Prime Video app to retry.". I have tired unplugging the device, clearing data on the app, uninstalling the app, combinations of all of the above, and standing on one foot. Does anyone have any tips. My phone says that my internet speed is 350 Mbps + so I do not think that is the issue.

Chromecast is connected to HDMI2 port directly and audio is routed to Denon receiver via ARC. None of the shows appear with Dolby Vision logo even though the Sony Android TV built in apps show them with DV logo. Not sure what is missing.

Steam Link works fine using my laptop plugged into the TV and streaming from my PC, but on the new Chromecast with Google TV it's unusable. I can't even look through the menu, it's just constant stuttering and then it disconnects after about 15 seconds. My CCwGTV is using ethernet and I get about 320 Mbps with the speedtest app. Stadia works great and Plex streams fine from my PC. Not sure what the issue is. Anyone had any luck?

Today i update my mi box 3. After the box restart , it freezes. Nothing comes up for 2 hours. I unplug the box and power it again. Mi Logo shows up but then the screen goes green and Mi Logo shows up again. It's in boot loop.

Any suggestions?

Every time I watch Hulu on the new Google TV, when it switches to commercial, the video freezes. The sound still works fine, but to get the video back moving again I have to choose out the app and go back in to resume the playback.

What's up? Anyone else experience this?
