Hisense AndroidTV has wildly different volumes for apps

Some apps are super loud at 16 volume and some are relatively quiet at 70 volume. Even weirder is that the Netflix app seems to have switched from being a loud app to a quiet app. Anybody experience something like this?

Disable built-in Chromecast

I have a Mi Box S and literally will never use the built-in chromecast so it's just a nuisance. For example, playing music on Tidal will transition to the built-in chromecast with (albeit nice) photos instead of letting me glance to see what track is playing. Is there a setting to disable it so I just stay in whatever app?

PS4 remote play work around to use on Android TV that works for me.

I added a short cut for the PS4 remote play app in rainway on my PC to open it. I followed instructions from this youtube video https://youtu.be/l0cDJbOUVoo to emulate a controller to DS4. I use rainway to launch the ps4 remote play app. Then I use a remote mouse or a Remote Desktop app on my phone to start the vdm program and connect controller that rainway setups, and select ds4. Leave the vdm app open. Then i click on the ps4 remote play window. Press start in my controller and it connects. I use the remote app on phone to make full screen. Once that is done I can use ps4 remote play through rainway. I am using a magic-ns adapter paired with a ds3 on my android tv boxes, a tivo stream and mi box S. Works great! Currently playing Assassins Creed Rogue Remastered. If you want more info or help feel free to reach out to me.

New AndroidTV setup - New google account or use my Personal account?

I'm planning to get an Nvidia Shield this week. My main uses will be streaming through Plex, YouTube and Prime Video, but I like that I will have some other options.

My question is should I use my main google account for setting up a family room TV or should I make a new account for the device? I was thinking it might be nicest to not have the family youtube plays and activity connected to my personal account and vice versa.

How do you handle this?

Android TV 4K UI/Apps

Hi,

I have a Hisense 4K tv with Android TV. However, It looks to me that the Android TV UI is in a lower resolution (maybe 1080p?), as well as most of the android apps UI. 4K video works with youtube, etc, but the UIs are not in 4K.

Does anyone know of a way to use Android Apps (specifically the UI) in 4K? I am hoping to use apps (including web browsers) that make full use of the 4K dpi to display data/charts on the screen.

Thanks for any help!

Android box for my Samsung smart tv [EUROPE]

Hello,

I'm currently using a Samsung Smart TV, more specifially https://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/uhd-mu6400/UE49MU6400UXXU/ one, and now I want to buy an adroid tv box as I've seen how much better it is in general since my tv lacks many applications and quite frankly, the whole system runs quite clunky but that is to be expected from a TV.

I don't have a set budget, all I want is the following:

  • Powerful enough that it doesn't lag, smoothness is a priority
  • 4K support is A MUST, look above for the link

I'll mostly use it for the general stuff as one would, I just want a better experience on my TV. Some people I've seen recommended the shield because of gaming, I mean I do game, but not sure if I need it on my tv, maybe I do, no idea honestly as I never tried that, but what I do most is browse stuff, watch videos/movies/tv shows.

I'm located in Europe if that play any role. I can order from amazon.de no problem.

Thanks!

Ads on the top of Nexus Player Home Screen

I don't know when it started, but recently I'm seeing ads at the top of my Nexus Player Home screen. They are labeled with "Google Play Staff Pick" or "Sponsored" but it's all pretty irrelevant content. Anyone know if there's a way to turn this off?

I haven't seen anything like this on my other Android TV device (Nvidia Shield), so I'm hoping it's just a setting I couldn't find to turn it off maybe? Anyone have any tips on where to turn these off?

Usb as Internal Storage only stores 4GB of Data

I installed a Sandisk 32 gb 3.0 USB drive as internal storage on my Sony 4K Bravia Android TV. However, the USB drive is only able to use 4GB of its entire storage capacity. While the system shows 26 GB of free space on the USB drive when I try to transfer any of the apps on to the Drive it says no storage or storage space is low. Any idea why this is happening? I formatted the USB using the TV’s storage formatting option. Please help.
