LIRC and Android TV

I've used LIRC for years on Linux with a network IR sensor and universal remote. Is there a version for Android TV? (The Android clients I've seen let a phone act as a remote for LIRC, which isn't what I want.)

Remapping button to HDMI (Philips).

So i found this post, https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/95r1q5/remap_android_tv_remote_button_possible_sony/

And Philips also has an api but not for HDMI afaik. So there is an ADB command on windows/linux which performs it, but thats quite a hassle. (Since i’d need a pc 24/7 running to use that). Is there an easy way to remap it? Using the tv only?

Edit: I have a temporary solution with my raspberry pi (it executes the adb shell on http callback)

Skystream android TV media player for sale in the US? 8K for $125 US

I was noodling around some of the stuff I never use on my Fire Cube like Pluto TV and I watched a few minutes of news on the UK Skystream station? (I am in the US.) And I started getting email from them (I swear I didn't give them my email, they must've got from Amazon?) Anyway, they seem to sell a version 3 for like $500 on Amazon US. However the email I received was for a Skystream branded generation 4 8K capable Skystream android media player for $125 US UPS priority shipping included. Is this an android TV and what's up with a UK broadcaster selling presumably hardware for UK licensed media (as well as the usual apps, in fact anything in the Google play store and some other place like Pure APK?) With this thing be of any use in the US?

Upgrade to Android TV or Get a New TV and keep my Nvida Sheild

Hi Everyone,

I currently have a (about 8-10 yr old) 55' Sony TV which I currently use with my Nvidia Shield. One pro that I like about my TV is that my stock remote (automatically) worked with my Nvidia shield which was super handy, considering the Nvidia remote doesn't allow for power on/off or TV volume control. I wanted to upgrade to a 65 inch and found a Hisense Android TV for 399.99 at best buy - link below. Thought that was a crazy deal. I love the shield and use it for streaming as well as gaming (few android but mostly emulators) and wanted to see if people had a good or bad experience with a built in android TV set up. Would someone coming from a shield view it as a downgrade? Should i pony up more since I am relying on the TV software (android) as well as the components? any help would be appreciated!

New to Shield TV, Twitch App won't install

Hey all I just bought the 2019 Shield TV (not Pro) to replace my Fire TV stick. It's really fast and responsive but the biggest problem I'm having is the Google Play Store is saying my device isn't compatible with this version. Did Twitch pull Android TV support? Or am I running into a bug or something?

2015 Shield TV Pro won't install Experience 8.0.2

I have tried five times now to update to Shield Experience 8.0.2.

It downloads fine, verifies, and then I tell it to reboot to install. Progress bar gets maybe a quarter of the way through and then it just reboots. Once back up and running I can check and see I'm still on 8.0.1 and it tells me there is an update available again. Rinse, repeat.

I've never had an issue with upgrades before on my Shield TV over all these years until now. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Which SmartTVs has Android TV?

AFAIK only Sony, Sharp and TCL? Do they came with Pie or upgradable to Pie?

I need 4K Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and HBO Max. I would consider a dumb-4K TV as well, and buy a Shield if I can't get a smart TV.

HELP - How to miracast/screen mirroring to Mi box S

Hi, guys! I have the Mi box S 4K model MDZ-22-AB for a couple of months now and still haven't figure out how to screen mirroring my Redmi Note 4X smartphone. With a Samsung Smart TV I have here in my house, all I have to do is go to the cast menu on my phone and select my TV. I thought that it would be the same with the Mi box, but my phone can't find it. I tried other phones too and they see only the Samsung TV.

I know that if I have the Google Home app on my phone logged into my Google account, I can add the Mi box to my "Home" and then I might be able to mirror the screen, but, I don't use Google account. My phone is "Google-free" (microG user).

Should I be able to screen mirroring like any normal device, by just select the receiver under the list? Can I do that without Google Home app?

BTW, the box is running Pie. The same was happening in Oreo, so it's not the Android version.
