Problem with NBC Sports native app with Chromecast with Google TV

While trying to watch English Premier League Soccer over the weekend, I could not get the native NBCsports app to work. I tried to restart, uninstall/reinstall, delete cache/data, and continue to keep getting the error "unable to play this asset."
I have the device connected directly using an ethernet connection. I can use the app on my phone and cast it to my device but the native app doesn't work. My Roku was able to play the games. Any reason why I keep getting this error or how to alleviate the issue?

VLC crashes when choosing external subtitles

Ever since the redesign from a couple of weeks ago, I cannot load any external subtitles. Whenever I choose select subtitle file, VLC either crashes or a window overlay says loading sits doing nothing. Is there any fix for this?

Is there a good alternative to VLC? I'm not looking for a media library app like Plex or Kodi, just a simple media player that has subtitles support and can increase play speed.

Budget: Android TV Box + Steam Link... Questions Before Buying

Hi all,

I am looking for an Android TV box that has built in ethernet and can offer SteamLink without any input lag. Is any Android TV box with Android 9 adequate enough or am I looking for something in particular in terms of the hardware?

Here is one that I am looking at, at less than half the price of an Amazon Fire Stick:

Kayo sports android TV box compatibility

Hey fellow Aussie users just wanted feedback on Android TV boxes that run Kayo natively (through Google Play store). To cut a long story short, my brother in law was using a Foxtel now box but this has dropped the Kayo app. He enjoyed the user interface and controller rather than chromecasting but is in no way into Android or tech and needs a simple, "just works" solution. Thanks in advance.

Need help and advice, android TV with internal hard drive.

Years ago I had a patriot brand streaming TV box that could hold a hard drive inside it.

Now I'm looking to give some friends a Christmas gift of an Android box. They have crave, and netflix, but I'd love for the box to play media files. I was hoping to find one that could hold a regular sized hard drive as I have a few spare. (internally with SATA) I also need it to have wifi. It doesn't need to be 4k or 8k, the tv it's attaching to isn't that great. Any recommendations? I'm having trouble finding one.

DAE think it's pretty ridiculous Google never updated the Android TV app, even when Google TV came out?

I'm stuck using an app from 2014 to control my shiny new Google TV and it doesn't even fit on the screen of my Pixel 4, not to mention that it's still using Android 4.0 home buttons.

The Google TV itself is fantastic but why not update the app?

ESPN Alternatives Please

ESPN's interface and streaming/cast capabilities is terrible. I will cast from my phone to my tv and put the phone down. 15 minutes later, audio starts playing on my phone and the tv. No reason at all. This has been an issue for months and I'd normally cancel it but I want to stream Pro14 rugby and super rugby along with other soccer leagues other than the premiership. So, I'm looking for any alternatives if there are any in which I can easily do that. I live in the US. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Found a free way to remap Netflix button on chromecast Google tv remote

Hi, I know most of you already know that you can use the Button Mapper app to change the behaviour of the pointless Netflix and YouTube buttons on the new chromecast remote. But that is a (relatively) expensive solution at a cost of £3.49.

Today I found a free, Open Source app that does the job just as well (if not better!)

The app is in the Play Store, but not in the Android TV store, so you'll need to side load it using your preferred method (I install on my phone, then use x-plore file manager to copy to the chromecast).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds100.keymapper

It is a little fiddly to setup using the remote control, but is possible and does work.

I'm using my Netflix button as Play/Pause, which is annoyingly missing from the remote!

BBC iPlayer (UK) crashing just after launch (Chromecast with Google TV)

Each time I open the BBC iPlayer app on my Chromecast with Google TV, after choosing my iPlayer profile and seeing the iPlayer homescreen displayed, the app becomes unresponsive and then crashes, returning me to the Google TV UI.

By a process of trial and error, I've figured out that what triggers the crash is an attempt to navigate (using the CC's remote pad) within roughly the first minute after the iPlayer app opens. If you do this, the iPlayer app crashes about 10 seconds later.

However... if I don't attempt any navigation within that first (approx.) minute after launching, then the iPlayer functions normally.

Anyone else seeing this? Seems to be 100% repeatable for me, across app re-installs and CC reboots.

iPlayer version: 0.4.3

HDMI arc Soundbar Problem

Hello, i own a 2019 Phillips Android TV and an Harman Kardon soundbar that is connected with my TV through HDMI arc. I have everything set up so that the soundbar turn's on together with my TV. However this feature only works when im i'm using a different HDMI input (for example my PS4) as the TV starts. If the TV starts to the standard android TV homescreen, the soundbar doesn't start. Which is a shame, since i use the android tv interface 90% of the time, instead of a 3rd party HDMI input (PS4). Is there any way to fix this?
