How to do rapid fast forward with Apple TV streaming service?

When trying to FF while using the Apple TV streaming service I can't consistently get it to do different speeds.

Most of the time it just jumps forward, I think, 30 seconds.

But every once in awhile I will get it to FF. But I can't figure out the trick.

Thanks in advance!

a peculiar issue with the YouTube app

So I have a peculiar issue with the YouTube app on my Google TV (TCL R646)

The microphone works fine for Google assistant but then inside the YouTube app it just refuses to work when I click the mic icon in search

I have reset the app, repaired my remote, tried uninstalling and reinstalling app updates, checked permissions, even removed (though it automatically came back) Google Speech Services

I am at my wits end - how do I resolve this issue? I simply cannot use voice search on YouTube - which completely Ruins the YouTube Tv user experience

AFAIK it wasn't as bad when I got the TV 2 months ago - though my memory does not serve me well here.

Also - it sometimes does work (like once in a hundred times) but then idk what's the situation - perhaps it's the TV mic catching it and not the remote one - but this is also damn buggy

Streaming noob. What is the best way to stream videos from websites?

So I am interested on what is the easiest way to stream videos from websites. I currently go to websites and from there I pick up my videos, but doing it on Puffin browser it feels like I've stepped back in the year 2000, it's slow, it's full of ads, overall makes it too much of a hassle, so I figured there's gotta me a better way.

Hulu is unusable

With every update Hulu becomes less functional, the live guide is a catastrophe.

It's a joke that a four year old Roku tv can navigate it faster than a brand new atv.

Formuler GTV-BT1 Remote

TLDR: GTV-BT1 is not a universal remote but it has so much promise. Hoping Formuler folks can chime in!

I've been looking at some simple universal remotes lately and wanted something better than the URC 7935 but not the Sofabaton stuff.

I came across the Formuler GTV-BT1 (https://www.formuler.tv/gtv-bt1) and been reading their forums (https://www.formuler-support.tv/forum/thread/6912-formuler-remote-app-update-version-1-2-5-and-firmware-version-0-5-3d/).

The physical remote supports Bluetooth (Android TV) and also IR (for TVs and other devices, has learning mode and simple set codes) which is then paired with an Android app that helps with customizing the buttons and controls even further.

The application itself is unfortunately locked to Formuler STB only but it looks a lot like the Shield's Remote setup wizard. There has also been many great improvements with the application and device support such as allowing the volume buttons (not the IR ones) to control another device's volume.

I feel like Formuler would have another winner product it was made compatible for all Android TVs!

MiBox S does break flash drives

Hello Guys.

I wanted to let you know my opinion about MiBox S and flash drives.

Some months ago, I bought a MiBox S for my uncle and used his flash drive to put some APKs on the MiBox as they are not available on market. The flash drive got corrupted and it could not even boot anymore.

I thought that my MacBook adapter for USB Flash Drive did break it.

Today, I tried my own MiBox S and 128GB Storage to sideload again some APK, and the Flash Drive went corrupted and dead within some seconds of usage.

So, please ignore this product or at least do not use a flash drive on it.

Best Android TV Box/Stick for my uses

EDIT: Forgot to mention I am in the US

Hello all. So I am insanely frustrated with the lack of space and performance of my Fire stick 4k as of late. I am looking to switch to something better(more ram, better UI speed, and more storage space)

I have a custom launcher install as well as Kodi with several add-ons and a custom skins as well as you standard Netflix, Shudder, Prime Video, ect

I would need to be able to use ADB without a PC(laptop is ancient, runs Windows 7 with first gen USB2 ports) it's a nightmare to get any sort of ADB recognition on the thing.

I am not looking to break the bank. Just something with increased specs and is easily customizable would be fantastic.

Thanks for any advice 👍🙂

Steam Link and Stadia issues (Philips 55PUS9206)

I haven't managed to get these working on my TV for the past two years. They've had massive input lag and stutters.

That was until a couple days ago I found some older reddit post about "disabling hw overlays" to fix input lag.

Did that in the android dev settings and they work perfectly now, but the issue is that everywhere else I've read that this setting shouldn't do anything and is only for debugging? So why does it work?

It also messes up the colors a bit, making them look slightly washed out.

Chromecast on Android tv

My father wants to get a new tv, but the only tv on sale is an Android tv (even though we have a Chromecast with Google tv) since that's the tv he wants, he isn't used to the stock Android tv interface as much as he is used to the Google tv interface and software, is there a way that I could disable the Android tv and keep the TV's input to just the Chromecast rather than the Android tv

Followup question: should I now throw away my Google tv or should I keep it now that my dad is getting an Android tv

Here is the model number for the tv he is gonna get: hisense 65A7400F Android tv

Remapping input button to switch HDMI input

I have a 65" Sony A80J. I'm trying to remap/customize the input button on the remote to switch the HDMI input from my DirecTV receiver to the HDMI input for my Nvidia Shield. In the Button Mapper app, I added the input button/enabled Customize/selected Double tap/Applications/and tried Input, Input Menu, Inputs, and Inputs Menu. When I double tap the input button, the input options appear at the bottom of the screen and then auto scrolls to the last option.

Ideally, I want to double press the input button so that it automatically switches to my Nvidia Shield. I should note that my Nvidia Shield is plugged directly into my Sony soundbar. I prefer to keep the setup this way, but if I need to plug it in to one of the TV HDMI inputs, so be it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
