iPlayer times out?

We have a chromecast with Google/Android TV installed. When watching BBC iPlayer, it seems to switch to ‘screensaver’ mode for no reason.

The app doesn’t crash, as soon as you press a button the app carries on back in the same place as though it’s been paused. It’s doesn’t happen to any other apps though - any ideas as to why this is happening and a way to fix it?

The color on my HiSense Android tv

I bought a used one and I am having trouble with the colors. Everything is washed out with a yellowish tone. Dark colors are pixelated and inky. I’ve fiddled with all of the settings, tried to do it manually, and have read whatever I could online to solve it but I can’t get a better color display than what I have now.

Does anyone have any advice or know of a manual way to make the picture better?

Cast to multiple TV's from one PC

I want to cast the screen from one of the PC's to multiple TV devices. Those TV's will be connected to the same LAN as the PC. I wouldn't like to limit just to video streaming, sometimes there will be a need to show some PowerPoint presentation or similar.

Is there some software that enables this or could I achieve this with Chromecast?

How to remove an input source from the list in a Mi TV?

Remove or Hide

I want to remove/hide "Channel" from the input list.

Clicking on Channel took me to Google play movies and TV (GPMT) and started playing a random movie trailer. I didn't want this. So I disabled GPMT and now when selecting on channel it opens this image2.

I want to remove "Channel" from my input source list to avoid any confusions.

Is the app you want to use unable to "read" the internal storage of your Android 11 device/TV?

Turns out I was unable to read, write and delete files and folders using X-plore on my Google TV 11 device (Realme Stick) because there is a bug in Android 11 when allowing permissions to access the internal storage (including external storage formatted as internal) by selecting the "Only when app is in use" option, therefore, the only workaround is to select the other option to allow the app to always read the internal storage, but this is something that must be done manually by going to:

settings -> apps -> look for the app -> permissions -> select the option to allow the app to always read the internal storage, it's usually the first one:

Not all the apps have the option, that's why I believe this is something that developers must fix in its own apps because there are others where the option works as expected, I noticed it works on VLC, Nova Video Player, FX File Explorer, RetroX among others.

Hisense Android TV network connectivity issues after waking (all apps)

Hisense 43A6G running Android TV

This started happening just recently. After waking up via the remote, the first 5-15 minutes or so it seems like every app I try to use exhibits connectivity issues and simply cant load anything. This includes apps like Youtube, Plex, Twitch, Pluto TV, etc.. Once this passes everything operates fine for the remainder of that power on period.

The only thing I can think of that has changed is I recently got IPV6 all set up and configured correctly on my router (Ubiquiti ER-X, ISP is Spectrum). All other devices behave perfectly with this change and I can confirm the TV shows it has both a public IPV6 address and private routable IPV4. TV is hardwired with Wifi disabled.

Anyone else run into this and have any ideas?

Chromecast with Android TV crashes with Plex

I have a large library, but it's getting annoying to have Plex crash two or three times before I can successfully navigate to the movie I want and start it. Once it's playing it's fine.

Do all Android TV devices have this issue, or is it just the Chromecast? I'll happily buy a new device if it fixes this issue.

Anyone on here own the Homatics Box R 4K Plus ?

I wanted to know if it can bitstream 7.1 lossless audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD) or does it output 7.1 LPCM ? This box looks like the perfect replacement for my Shield TV Pro 2019 and Apple TV 4K 2021. I do wish it came in black/dark gray but not a deal breaker with the specs it has (Amlogic S905X4, 4GB RAM/32GB flash, AV1 decoding, gigabit LAN, Widevine Level 1, Android TV 11, Dolby Vision, etc.).

Disney + subtitles on Google TV are weird

So, I had the latest version of Disney + app installed on my Chromecast and the subtitles are awful to read. The font edges are blacking out the characters and the size is too small. I don't see the option to edit the appearance of subtitles anywhere. I checked my phone app and couldn't edit there either.

TCL Android TV can’t remember Android Home as a last input

Even after setting up the Last input for Power On Mode from the hidden TCL menu, whenever I turn off and turn on the TV after a couple of hours, it boots in TV/HDMI input. I always have to select Android home input manually.

I don’t unplug the power cable and always turn off TV in Android home interface. Contacted TCL support and they told me to reset the TV. Nothing happened. Can anyone help me?

Any solution to diffferent youtube login with new google tV profiles?

I am my only Google TV user, but from what I've read the profile selection situation has been long requested by many. Which is understandable if you're sharing the device between multiple people.

Well, I just got the update. Problem is however, that whereas before where I had my Google account attached to my Google TV, I could select a different profile/e-mail address for the Youtube app. I have multiple different Youtube accounts. Now when I open the Youtube app it opens with the same Google account linked to the main Google TV and when I want to switch accounts or log in within youtube it only lets me choose Google TV profiles.

That would mean I would have to switch Google TV profiles everytime I want to watch a video through the app (50% of what I use my chromecast for) which is utter trash compared to my previous situation where everything was integrated and it was one seamless experience. Of the 8 buttons on my remote 1 just was rendered obsolete.

It makes me want to rip out my chromecast and throw it out the window tbh. It's infuriating. Does anyone have a possible solution to my problem?
