Well, let's say I have a bunch of roomies and probably they will use the TV too but I'm not sure how it works, I mean, what would be available for them? Contacts? Youtube Search? Main concern would be if they could access to my Google Photos gallery or how difficult it could be?

Tried researchin a little bit in other threats but found something about Google Photos being disable but nothing about it still disable.

Does anyone know if this model is able to get root access? This TV is incredible slow and laggy, so I would like to mess around with it and remove some bloatware so hopefully speed it up a little bit. Also I’d like to make a script that runs automatically on boot to enable those developer options everyone uses rather than having to manually do it after ever restart.

Hi,

could someone please highlight the differences between both. I really don't get why should someone go with an AndroidTV when there are cheap Amazon Fire TV that offers more or less the same features.

I'm a Youtube Premium member, and I've started to notice that the Youtube on AndroidTv has started showing ads. I was under the impression that as a premium member you don't get ads ?

Just wondering whether anyone else is seeing this as well ?

I am from the UK and we have the provider Virgin media here who used to rent out TiVo boxes and i was wondering if it is possible to flash AndroidTV or some other sort of OS maybe even Ubuntu to it?

It is an SMT-C7100 model made by Samsung.

Thanks!

Hi guys

Hi!

When I try to start my Mi TV 4a from Google Home app through voice command (Tv & Smartphone on same wifi network), it appears a remote control like screen, with only a central turn on/off button. I press it but I receive an error message (a problem occurred) and the TV won't turn on.

PS When the TV is on and I try to turn off it with voice command it works flawless.

PS No energy saving options are present in the TV settings

Hi,

I have a new Sony A9F with Android TV 9.0 and Google Assistant. I've kind of gotten to the end of trying to get my Google home to play nice, and have settled on just using the inbuilt assistant for everything (including the crappy Netflix app). One last problem I have is that outside of turning it on and off, if I ask it to play something from Netflix it will repeat it back to me in an extremely loud voice. The volume difference is huge compared to watching Netflix or Plex or anything. It's comfortable on about 10, and it seems that Netflix is good around 40 and movies around 75.

I can't find any way to either turn the voice off (make it listen/screen text only) or have independent Volume control. No settings in the home app on my phone, and the volume balance between things toggle in the tv settings doesn't help that much/at all.

Has anyone else had this problem or solved it?

Hello, i am considering buying a mi box s, since its way cheaper than a nvidia shield tv.

I will only use the mi box s as a stream machine since i want to play my pc games in my tv, i have a smartv LG tv for netflix and what not.

I know it does support Geforce now, ut geforce now is not available in my country, so i was hoping for using steamlink, moonlight or gamestream, will this work? Thanks

What would be the minimum mps to get the NVIDIA SHIELD Pro to work at it's best? I have the 2017 model an usually get anywhere from 8.2 to 7.9 mps, but sometimes it buffers pretty bad when watching movies. Any suggestions or ideas would greatly be appreciated?

Is there any way to type alternate languages in Android TV. I am mostly after searching in Youtube but I assume this applies across the board.

Hello. I had been using Apps2Fire for firestick to sideload content via WiFi. Is there any alternatives for the Android TV?

Hoping for your response... I'm having trouble with google searches :/

5/23 UPDATE: Thank you guys for the update. Apps2fire worked smoothly. I had to enable USB debugging first. However, this disables my keyboard/mouse. So I have to disable USB debugging after using Apps2Fire.

What does navigating the links look like?

Hello people. I use xiaomi mi box s which has 8gb memory. Can I increase his memory with usb?

Having a problem with Pluto TV app on mibox s. When it launches the channel art is missing and it says "no information available" on every channel in the guide. The on demand section is also missing info and titles. Does anyone else have this issue? Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. My live TV app works perfect with info. Any idea what is wrong?

Error message: you.i engine failed to load It was working before, but randomly stopped working. Tried reinstalling the app.

As I've already read on the sub the Android interface is 1080p but Prime Video won't give me any option to watch shows in 4K. On the other hand youtube gives me the chance to switch to 4K although I'm not sure that's the real resolution output. Is there any possibility 4K is only available through HDMI? Am I missing something?

Hi all, I'm looking at purchasing a phillips pus7334 55" If there are any owners out there, could you please give me your thoughts. Iv read a few reviews, but there seems to be a few issues with remotes? The main reason I am interested is for the ambilight feature and it being android TV so being able to add a few apps will be good.

Hi all I experienced this issue updating the Google app for Android TV from 3.14.x to 4.1.0.310049754

My TV is a TCL 32ES560 on Android 9 Issue can be reproduced like this :

• on the Home Page you invoke the Assistant, either with the voice or the keyboard, if you're using the included TV remote
• if you do this then the TV freezes for around 2 or 3 min and the TV is completely unresponsive
• then the TV resumes his operation until you select to invoke the Assistant again .

Side issues include:

• The Settings\Device Preferences\Google Assistant is unresponsive AND freezes the TV again, just as above
• Microphone button on the Android TV remote app is unresponsive and causes no reaction on the TV

Did the usual troubleshooting up to factory reset the device AFAIK the only workaround that's effective at the moment is to uninstall the updates.

System and apps are updated. Anybody else had this issue or worked it out?

Thx for caring

Hi to all, I have Philips android tv 43pus7000 series with two USB ports. First usb is 900 ma, the second 500 ma. Both are 5V, but whatever I plug into second port it is not recognised. The only I can do is charging my phone. Do anyone have experience with those TVs, is this normal? I hoped to plug keyboard and flash drive, but looks like it can not be done. Regards!

Every few weeks, I'll play a video on Youtube that consistently locks up the whole box in a specific place. Maybe it's some bug in the encoding, because even when I switch to Casting the video from my phone, it breaks the stream at these points.

I'll be playing a video, and then suddenly I get a black screen, and a few seconds later an infinite bootloader loop begins. I have to power cycle the box to get it out of this state, and then the BIOS will probably fail to boot the next time and ask me if I want to do a factory reset.

Does this happen to anyone else? Does it actually happen with other streaming apps too and I just don't see it because I mainly use Youtube, or is it only the Google-coded app on the Google-coded box?
