Is there an app that could tell me what is peak brightness on my tv?

I have a Procaster 55A900H, and there is barely any info about it on internet, like for example i only found a single video review on youtube and i believe that video was in russian. Even the manual and the website where i bought the tv, doesn't tell how bright it can get, so is there an app that could test it and tell me results?

CEC on Android box doesn't work after TV reboot

If I restart my TV (TCL S423) connected to Onn UHD, only the Android volume changes when I click on volume up and down on Onn remote, expectation is that it should change volume of the TV or soundbar volume. Once I toggle CEC switch option on and off from Device Preferences on Onn UHD, everything works again. This happens every time I turn on my TV and it's frustrating.

Below options on my Onn UHD Android box are turned on -

CEC Switch, One Key Play, One Key Power Off

Does anyone else have this issue with their Android Box or suggest what I am missing here? Thank you!

Current state of Onn UHD vs FHD steamers?

Looking to pick one of for my in-laws to use on a 1080p TV. Local Walmart only has the FHD in stock. I have a good amount of experience with the UHD while they weren't perfect at launch i feel pretty much all major bugs have been ironed out. These are great!

Is the FHD pretty much the same in performance and stability as the UHD? Is it still getting the same updates?

Thanks!

Edit: yep, bought the FHD and it was much slower and had it freeze up a few times. Also didn’t know it’s much different in terms of updates. It’s back on android 9. Returned it. Found a Walmart about 20 minutes away that had the UHD.

Skyworth 55G6 Horizontal Lines + Flickering Fix

Based on my title, my Skyworth 55G6 (which I bought in early 2019), has been showing horizontal lines and flickering on the screen. We searched in YT how to fix it, which was to tape the ribbon to block the signal, and it worked. However, the horizontal, flickering things came back a year later, and we couldn't fix it anymore.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Any simple way to control my TV with an Android TV Box remote?

I'm in the process of changing from an ISP settop box solution to a 'cheaper' ISP with IPTV. The IPTV is still expensive, but I live with my elderly mother, so I need reliability and simplicity.

The first problem is having to use two remotes, so I was considering getting a cheap universal remote to power off the TV when the Android box goes off. I assume someone makes an Android universal remote? It might be easier to leave the TV on, as it will go into power saving mode anyway.

Problem #2 is getting the Android box to default to the IPTV app when it powers on and lock out everything else.

HDR Being Forced Onto ONN Device

I have two ONN devices (Love them) and I have an issue with Netflix forcing HDR on the ONN boxes. Does anyone else with ONN and Netflix see this? I have turned off HDR on my Samsung TV's. I also turned off HDR on the ONN devices. But Netflix is still pushing HDR. If I open any other streaming app I don't have this issue. Only Netflix. Has anyone found a way to fix this other than canceling Netflix? That is my next step.

Device constantly trying to connect over Bluetooth please help

Some device keeps trying to connect over Bluetooth... And by constantly I mean like 5-10 times a day at least. Sometimes it will go a week or two without trying and then it will start again, including randomly turning on and trying to connect in the middle of the night. I have turned off Bluetooth visibility, but it still tries to connect and when I check settings, visibility is somehow back on. Does not matter if I accept the connection or decline it, it still pops up again and again. It has literally popped up 5 times in the time it took to write this post.

Android TV Video Screensaver from USB?

I've been looking into getting a smart tv and was doing some research on screensavers when I stumbled upon this video on Youtube. Within the video I noticed an option under Settings -> Device Preferences -> Screen Saver -> Screen Saver -> Photo Gallery and Screensaver -> Photo Sources -> External Drives.

The video doesn't show what this does or tell me which version of Android TV this is. But I was curious if this option would allow me to insert a USB drive into the TV and then have it load a custom looping video screensaver from it.

YTM Playlist issues on CCWGTV

First let me say I have already gone through "troubleshooting" for Google Home/Nest and YouTube and YouTube Music. My playlists are working perfect on both Computer and Android device. When using either YouTube Music inside CCWGTV or the YouTube Music App I can download with my LG TV, about half of the playlists show the song count at the top with the Title of the Playlist, but you get a message saying the Playlist has no contents. If a playlist has only albums in it, I can sort YTM by the album and things are all there. They are not in the Playlist on any YTM TV app. Again playlists on other devices are working perfect but not on ANY TV app, (in CCWGTV or YTM app you can separately download on both my Sony and LG TVs.) I can cast from phone and computer to the TV. Here is a link to the picture of one of the playlists, there are many like this. But you see even in the Playlist title on the TV app, there are contents in the playlist. Those numbers match the working playlist on my Pixel and my Computer. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KJaxeVV2UR7YB2Cm7 Please help with this because it has been going on for close to 2 years. Every report I file, they said it isnt them. I do not actually think it is a YouTube issue because the playlists are fine on every device but the TV app. This is a TV app issue and I wonder who even manages the TV apps. Is the the actual app teams for other devices or do the TV apps have to be totally different from say a Pixel or Computer or Chrome.

How can I get custom playback speed on my Google TV?

Hi, I recently bought a Sony x85J. It's great! but I want to be able to have netflix, plex, disney+ etc. have variable playback speeds, I'm having quite a bit of difficulty finding out how. For my windows machine, I have a chrome plugin that can change the speed, and that works wonderfully, but since google tv is more locked down I cannot (have not found a way) install that extension. I would love help.

Question about malware

Hello! I would like to ask about android tv in regards of malware, im new to smart tvs in general so id like to stay informed even if it is rare!

How do i know if its infected? The one here does not have an inbuilt scanner, so would things work like mobile with finding a suspicious app yourself and deleting it?

Would a factory reset be enough to remove it?

Apologies if this is a dumb post, anxiety can be a hassle, i wouldnt really ever use a usb or anything, im more concerned over something like a worm infecting it, thank you!!! (Also not really sure what to flair this as, so apologies)
