Anybody have fire stick launcher so please port it on Android TV or of already ported please comment...

I got Kodak Android TV 43CA2022 (4K, 1.75GB RAM, Quad core, Mali 450 GPU). I removed Android launcher and set HAL Launcher as default launcher.

I have media on 1, 2 TB Hard drives (Seagate, WD Passport) which connected with TV. When I open any video via VLC or Nova Video Player, it takes much time (15-20 secs or more) to start the playback. Same hard disk/video opens very fast on Mi Pro HD Android TV.

Any idea to improve the video playback start time? Any apps to clear memory?

Thanks.

Both streaming devices are stuck at 4K 30Hz as the maximum resolution while my Nvidia Shield can go up to 4K 60Hz

Any idea why?

Got the new Chromecast today and I have to say I much prefer the Android TV experience on my Nvidia Shield TV. The Google TV interface is slick and pretty though and I do really like the way they implemented the live panel with YouTube TV. I just don't like how my YouTube recommendations are buried now and I can't move them up to be more prominent on the For You page. If they just made the For You page more customizable like the home screen on Android TV I think I would be happy. Oh and it's borderline user-hostile now how hard they make it to uninstall an app.

Just had an update for my Play Movies & TV app, but it did not update to the new Google TV app. Anyone else still waiting for it? The Play Store shows it as Google TV (Previously Play Movies & TV), but app is still the old version.

I have an axe to grind with Google TV. Got the device today. Coming from Roku and miss the simplicity of the home screen. Tried app-only mode and don't understand why it shows all apps in a single scrolling row -- what about filling any of the other real estate on my screen? Also, once app-only mode is enabled, one cannot use their personal Google Photos in ambient mode anymore. For an inexplicable reason, that option goes away when I enable app-only mode.

On the bright side, my Logitech Harmony Hub paired with it via BT without issues.

As per the title, I just got the new Chromecast/Google TV and I noticed I can install Android games from the Play Store on it. I found that I can't really play as the only button that works in-game is the confirm button. Does anyone know how I can get a controller to work on it? Is it possible at this time? I'd love to use my XBOX/Switch Pro controller.

Thanks!

Does anyone know when the new "Sabrina" device will be available in Europe? Thank you.

Has anyone figured out yet what the purpose is of logging into multiple Google accounts on the new Chromecast w/Google TV? It wont let me change profiles as we found out on Day1, but I thought it would at least combine all the Watchlists from every account that is logged in (nope, it wont)

Is there a purpose to it at all? I don't see why anyone would even bother to log into the device with more than 1 account. What am I missing?

Is it possible to use this in a hotel room? Specifically, out of the box options, not some sort of annoying workaround process. Does it have a browser to get past the hotel security/login page or possibly a process like the firesticks have? Sorry if this has been covered before.

Hi, can you please suggest a reasonable good tv box for a cheap price? I was thinking about the xiaomi tv stick but it only has 1gb ram and I am afraid it will run slow.

I havent been able to open the netflix app on my smart tv (Hisense) for 2 days. Sometimes the error code number is different ex. -100 or -116 or something like that

We have tried deleting cache, deleting data, uninstall updates, unplug the tv for 5 minutes, pretty much everything. We cant sign out of netflix and re sign in because the error pops up instantly as soon as we open the app.

We have tried deleting the app but it doesnt say uninstall it just says disable which we have tried, then going to the app store, searching for netflix, then it doesnt say "install" it says enable which we click then install updates

We have tried force stopped google play services.

Our wifi works fine we can open youtube on the same tv and play 4K videos with no buffering. The netflix account works fine, we can open netflix on our phones and watch it there just fine.

If i try to cast from netflix on my phone to the tv it tries to open the app on the tv and gives us the same error code

The error code looks like an android popup, its not an error within the netflix app itself

I have tried resetting the entire tv but it asks for a pin which i never set so i cant

I'm having a strange issue. I was able to use and SD card with the Chromecast and install apps to it. However, Knights of the Old Republic(KOTOR) will not install because it keeps saying that there's not enough storage, even though there's plenty of space left on the 64GB SD Card.

I installed 10GB+ worth of apps on the SD Card, so I think the Play Store is obtaining the free amount of space from the internal storage instead of the SD Card. KOTOR is a large game so it might take more space than the internal storage has available.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Hi,
Chromecast with GoogleTV is connected to a TCL TV via HDMI.
The TV supports CEC.
In Android/Google TV setting CEC is enabled for power and volume.

The volume works in most cases, volume buttons on the remote control TV's volume. However if the Chromecast is turned off (with power button on Remote) and powered back on - The volume control stops working.

Additionally for Power CEC, chromecast turns off the TV when power button is pressed on the remote. However it does not turn it back on.

I think this could be happening if Chromecast is not broadcasting CEC signal for power and volume control post suspend/ sleep.
Is anyone having this issue?

Hi there I am looking to add a few Android TV boxes to some TVs in other rooms. Would it be better to get the AirTV Mini since it is cheaper used than the new Chromecast with Google TV since one of the TVs is 1080p only and the other is a 4K set. My living room uses a Mi Box 4K.

Thanks!

The only way to access photos, is to use voice to display photos, and then there is no control over what you are seeing. I want to be able to select my albums and specific photos.

Don't suggest a third-party app! Google should include an official app with Android TV.

Anyone know why the CNBC app isn’t available for download. CNBC says the app is available on Android TV, but on my Sony 900h it is not available for download.

So I'm in a unique situation. I'm living in Georgia, but my parents live in VA. They subscribe to Verizon FiOs cable and internet. They've been letting me use their TV Everywhere login, so I have access to their channels. I've used the Channels app to aggregate the FiOs channels with my local channels (via Locast). However, my parents also subscribe to Starz and Showtime; because these are premium channels, they don't work with the Channels app. I'd really like to find a way to put the live feeds from these apps into a guide format so I can access them via Apple TV. These feeds would obviously also be accessed using the TV Everywhere credentials. Any thoughts on a solution?

I bought this to replace my roku as i was annoyed that i couldnt watch hbo max on the roku. I searched the play store and found the att now app before i purchased it. Now today im setting up the chromecast and the ATT TV app is nowhere to be found. Does anyone know whats going on?
