We are using the tv as digital signage, but we are frustrated with the time needed to start the screen saver, the minimum we have is 5 minutes

Is there any way to customize and break the limit of 5 minutes, like to make it one minute or even 30 seconds

(Note: we are using mi box)

Regards

I record a show, go to watch it the next day, and when I go to skip the commercials, it will say "action not available" and I am forced to watch the commercials. This is a DVR recording, not watching it live or anything. This only happens on my Nvidia Shield and not on the web version or the mobile app. Anyone else see this?

Tcl 55p8m automatically shutdown while playing youtube or netflix. I noticed it while playing 4k video but i dont have problems while Ps4.

I use my TV mostly for streaming, Netflix, prime, but also like to stream websites with video on them. I have tried the air TV mini, with puffin and Samsung browser, but the device seems to freeze, and I have not been able to find a good cursor app, have been using Android TV remote as well as cursor remote.

I have also used the fire TV with Firefox and silk browsers, do seem to work better, but still cursor and control are not what they could be.

With the Nvidia shield do anyting better in terms of browsing. My understanding is that it is simply better in terms of gaming due to the hardware. It does not improve streaming.

So my question is what device or solution do my current devices can make my browsing experience more closely match my phone browsing experience. Is there another device that may be better for my needs?

One solution that I have Come upon is the web video caster app, this can usually cast a web stream to my TV

Hi. Sorry if this has been posted before. I’ve got a fairly new Philips 50PUS8204 ambilight TV and I get an error message with the BBC iPlayer app every time I try to watch a programme. It says There is a Problem Loading This Programme. I have to do a full power-off and restart. The app is baked into the OS so I can’t delete it and reinstall. Any ideas?

I live in Turkey and we have crazy taxes on foreign tech so I did some research and bought a Peaq tv. From what I can tell, it’s basically a Lenovo but produced in partnership with MediaMarkt (a German-run Best Buy type of place) and made in Turkey. Obviously, I’m here because it’s Android.

The problem is that my remote has stopped working. It’s not batteries because there’s a red light on the thing that works, the TV has stopped responding. I connected my mouse and fussed around in the settings but there was nothing about the remote. Now I’m super fucked because I connected my computer via HDMI cable and now there’s apparently no way to get back to the “home screen”. I’ve tried restarting it and I fully power it down (both w/o the hdmi cable connected) but nothing has worked, it’s still suck on the hdmi input.

So I’m wondering a few things. Is there a separate remote I can get that would just work (like with a usb connector similar to a mouse)? Or could I get a mi stick and just plug that in and have it work without needing to access the home screen? Or is there like a magic way to fix this that I don’t know about?

I’m super at a loss as to what to do and really irritated because I ordered the thing online and there was nothing to say that I needed to have a guy come and “install” it otherwise my warranty would be voided but that’s apparently what has happened. I just never would have guessed that I needed someone to literally just take it out of the box, put the little feet on it, place it on my tv stand, and plug it in.

Extra info: the model no is apparently SN49DAL08. I googled what I thought was the model number to try to troubleshoot and didn’t find it so after more googling, it looks like it’s been rebranded as Sunny because there’s a picture of my tv but instead of having “Peaq” on the front it says “Sunny”. I have no idea what’s going on, tbh.

I have relatively limited access to foreign tech and I can’t order tech from abroad. Thanks, Turkey.

So I primarily use my Shield to stream games from my computer to the TV. I prefer to use Steam Link over game stream, it just seems to have less hiccups. But I usually stick to controller games, as I haven't had a couch keyboard and mouse option until now. I recently got a nice lapboard and wireless keyboard and mouse, they both work great on the Shield, but when I open a game through Steam Link the mouse is insanely sensitive. I move it an inch down and I'm looking at toes, nudge it upward and I'm looking straight up. I thought it might have something to do with the mouse input on my PC so I turned the dpi waaaay down, but didn't change anything.

Has anyone else had this issue? Were you able to solve it?

If it's more likely to be a PC issue I'll remove this post but I would really love to figure this out.

I’m wondering if there’s an iPhone app I can download to cast video playing from my web browser to my android tv device?

If I use my Google account on AndroidTV, will it automatically have access to my Google Photos? I have.. private videos. Haha

I am sorry if this has been answered before. But I am wondering why on my Sony Bravia Android tv,

Some apps have full dolby sound, and some do not? Hbo Max= Dolby, while Netflix with upgraded package for 4k and multiple devices is only stereo?

Any help appreciated,

Thank You

Hi,

Recently got a Sony 55" AG9 and loving it so far, except for one annoying glitch. Assistant microphone red/orangish LED keeps turning on. I turn it off in settings, but it randomly switches back on. Happened during a night while TV was off. Happened right after using some voice command. Happened even when I switched it off and on closing the menu it lit up again and setting was back on.

The only way I find that's working, is disabling "OK Google" , but I want it to listen to it.

Any insights?
Thanks

Just tried the latest version of geforce now which supports android tv, MiBox apparently not supported but i sideloaded it and works fine.

When I connect it, it finds it and says "USB Device Found, reading files". However, not a single vixeo files is being displayed, I have like 50 movies on it and it just doesn't show them. My friend brought a pendrive and it could read it without any problems. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks :)

It was working fine an hour ago but after I turned it on again it started to not show my home wifi. Tried restarting the router, factory reset. Still wont work help

Does it exist?

Will it ever exist?

On my sky worth 40' my hulu app keeps crashing. It's the only app. I reinstalled and still no luck. Any advice?

There is an answer. /u/Myric277 has suggested a course of action that worked for me and others. I uninstalled the System App: Android TV Home. It rolls back any updates to the original settings. I then used the Google Play settings to turn off auto update for all apps.

The ads are gone, for now. Google ads are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

Hi, i'm looking for a remote control for my Xiaomi mi box s. Any sugestions?

I recently got a cheap TCL TV with android TV built into it, for use in a bedroom where the TV doesn't need to be high-end or fancy but having built in chromecast and some smart features was preferable.

Is there a good way to change the layout? I don't like having to scroll horizontally through countless apps I have or will have installed .

What's the best way to sideload apps and manage them?

Is there any good tweaks I can do to make the most out of Android on my TV?

Finally are there any 'must have' apps I should get? I currently have solid file explorer so I can access my NAS and in case I need it for anything else.

Hey all. On my Android TV (a SABA/Changhong model) can't acces the accessibility menu in order to activate some options for the Button Mapper app. Do you know any other way to get there?
