I tried VLC and the option that gives (renderer) but it doesnt give subtitles?
What app should i try to stream movie with subtitles?

Hello good afternoon. At this moment I want to buy a Smart tv box . I want to have more options in my tv ( streaming , iptv , online tv and others ) . Can you tell me with one is my best option? . Quality/price . Thankful

I have a Mi Box S. I had paired my Samsung Galaxy buds earlier and I remember the audio was get routed to the Head phones from all the apps.

I did not use it later and recently I tried it again. First, the buds was not going auto connected to TV Box. I had to unpair and pair them again. Buds got connected but there was no audio.

When I tried paying any video in YouTube, that video would not play, until I disconnect the device. I tried local videos through MX player, the video paired without sound in either device. Netflix video never started playing until my buds was disconnected.

Also the buds never gets auto connected now and I have to unpair and pair them Everytime.

The only difference between the last time and now is, I have Android Pie updated. Any ideas to fix this?

Thanks.

my minix box is stuck on the minix logo, so im trying to reset it, but once i get to the recovery mode, i need to use the volume buttons on the remote to go up and down, but i lost the remote. Is there another way? the remote for the tv didnt work

I've got the first shield tv running the newest update and I've tried everything. adb delete, clearing defaults, and even a couple third party switchers. I'm stumped.

Using Shield as DVR. Can DVR recording be accessed on the LAN from Live Channels?

Edit additional question: Can channels be added/removed/favorited?

Hi there,

What are the best apps for Android TV?

How can I get the most potential of my devices? I use SmartThings and Philips Hue as well and would be great integrate the entire ecosystem.

Hello, I am looking to buy a new 2020 Android TV 43" to 49" inches max. I want it to run smooth and not lag like the TV I bought 2 years ago (Philips 7303) that lags like crap and is very slow.

My max budget is 1000$ I am not looking for an external android box or firestick, I am looking for an android tv.

Any recommendations ?

Hi all. Anyone else experiencing this? On the Android TV menu, it'll constantly refresh. By which I mean the screen will go black for a couple of seconds, then the menu will re-appear. Often, when running an Android TV app, for example, Plex, it'll 'refresh' itself back to the Android TV menu. Even worse, when watching live TV, after approximately 30 seconds, it'll go back to the AndroidTV menu again, making it completely impossible to watch the TV.

Any thoughts?

I'm considering the T95 Max+ ETA Prime recommended. I hear it's possible to sideload or otherwise aquire Disney+ and Amazon Prime.. True? Performance?

When i open google home app and go in settings for my tv i dont see the button to disable the cast notification for everyone on the same wifi Any help?

Hello,

Not sure why original post was deleted earlier by a Mod but I got some new answers and update on my case.

I bought the Verizon Steam TV - I love it - it's great and definitely better than the mibox s. However, my issue started when the remote that came with it lost communication with the stream TV. I am not able to pair it back no matter what I do.

After 2-3 total hours of phone calls with Verizon support, they just suggested for me to return it for full refund. Their support team is abysmal.

There is no way for this device to enter into Recovery Mode to do a hard reset. Factory defaults can only be done while in the interface. There is no hardware reset button or pinhole.

I tried all possible key combination (like in the Mibox S) to hopefully enter recovery mode during boot up - NO LUCK.

So just be aware before you buy this -- if your remote lost the pairing or it got eaten by a dog .. you have a brick on your hands. Them sending a new remote won't do anything.

This is one hell of a product flaw.

On top of that, I will be returning this device will my email, plex, disney+,amazon video,netflix, and more accounts logged in as myself since I can't factory reset it before I send it. They better not use it!

Since there are no sales in my country I'm planning to buy a Xiaomi mi box s on AliExpress. I heard a lot of people complaining it is unusable after the update? Is this already solved? Is it safe to buy a mi box now? Planning to use mainly Netflix and Kodi.

Hello, I got lucky last week and managed to grab a 2019 Shield Pro when it briefly came into stock at Amazon. My first time with an Android streaming device. I'm in the process of setting it up. I installed VPN (both PIA and ExpressVPN because I wanted to try them both out side by side), then Kodi and the iPlayer App from the Kodi repository. Thing is, I can access and BBC iPlayer contents when I use a browser with either VPN, but when I try to use the Kodi iPlayer app I get a ‘connection aborted’ error. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong, or is the iPlayer app in Kodi broken?

So.. after 4 days, of countless hours.. I didn't sleep last night I am turning to the great reddit for help , suggestions, and alternatives. Google has no answers yet.

a WD 4 TB USB HDD takes forever to even detect in the tv, so I have opted to not wait anymore and attempt on it anything.

I was Once a king. I once got 2 tb to successfully format as device storage. Everything worked flawlessly.

I have no idea how long I waited on the stuck screen of format though.. I slept.. ate.. pooped.. played with my kids..

All this while the tv restarts and the USB becomes unreadable for tv, so I have to format the USB on laptop and repeat.. I don't know after how many attempts of formatting the USB on laptop and retrying , and that perhaps formatting my TV as well helped but some combo of some stuffs I did in the last 4 days that successfully worked and I was finally able to

Download torrents , extract zips, move files , and felt like a KING !

One day later.. my wife tells me to switch off tv and come to bed.. immediately out of nowhere my 3 year old jumps off the bed and pulls the switch..something he hasn't done ever in his life.

All I did.. was so I could let him play ( actually relive myself) the old games we used to play during our childhood.

When he pulled the plug of tv the USB got undetected and so I am back pulling my hair.

Formatting 128 gb USB stick as device is breeze. But it's not enough for my video collections, for my game collections. Infact unzipping them from the same location makes the storage all the more small.

So now I am on my 7or 8th attempt, unable to successfully format my 1 tb or 2 tb USB HDD as device storage.

I even fancied formatting a 1 tb as device storage and attempting to clone it as backup to my another 1 tb USB HDD however.. easeuse isn't able to understand it as device storage are encrypted by Android device.

I have a 1 tb formated as removable storage but it's cat poop . Unable to write.. can't browse with explorer except some specific file locations.

Flud is able to download tor to this removable storage, but I won't be able to extract, or move files..

Winrar isn't able to write /extract data to this storage either. So I will have to rely on laptop

I was once a king.. 😭

Why is adding storage and creating backup on Android TV so medieval period.

I recently re-installed Android TV but now find I can't use the Keyboard. According to settings Gboard is the allocated keyboard but nothing happens. Any Ideas ?

Thanks

I haven’t been able to find one for purchase online/in stores for weeks, all I can find is the stupid tube version (I need a USB port).

Is the supply chain affected by the current pandemic or is it discontinued? Can’t find any news online about it.

I might just pony up $300 to a eBay reseller 😡

Have a Hisense Android TV that was running low on internal space so I added a 16gb USB as device storage. That eventually got slow and started throwing up warnings that internal storage space was almost full. I just put 128 GB USB in there converted it to internal storage ask the Android TV to migrate everything over and got rid of the old 16GB. It still lists the 128 GBS having no extra space I went to actually look at it there's only about 2 GB of content (on the USB) and 4.3 GB of total space (internal + USB).

Is there a total space limit on Android TV? Is there some reason why I can't get it to recognize a larger USB drive as actually being larger? It seems to only get a gigabyte or two out of the USB.
