Like just for the audio I mean

Looking for an app that would allow me to set a message from my Android phone and have it displayed on my Chromecast w/GoogleTV equipped TV. Something so I can leave my family a quick "I've gone for a walk" note.

Most of the apps I've found are part of larger systems for corporate settings, etc.

Hoping someone might be able to help. I just moved and have lost the remote to the TV. I have a keyboard connected and can get all the way to entering the password, but can’t get further than that. I’ve pressed “enter” multiple times and tried every other button on the keyboard but nothing works. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi again!

I have noticed that when I watch some 2160p MKV movies directly from my 2TB external HDD on my tv, it gets pixelated at some moments in the movie. It is often at the scenes in the movie where the screen moves faster. Is there any problem with the bitrate or something. Or is it that my tv's built in computer can't handle these kind of files every time?

Because I also want to say that I have been playing much heavier 4K MKV files before. One example is that I one time played a 60 GB BDRemux H.265 file that had HDR and it was 2160p (4K) like I said!

So why did that movie work flawlessly?

The last 4K movie I played was yesterday, that movie was around 10 GB and it was also not a BluRay, it was a WEB-DL 2160p SDR with H.265, and this movie got pixelated every like 2-3 minutes I think.

So why does some 2160p WEB-DL movies that aren't that heavy stutter and get pixelated sometimes, because it isn't everytime, but it has happened now several times (but NOT everytime). Cause even some 1080p BluRay files have started to suddenly not work and pixelates, but that doesn't like really happen ever, it has only happened 2-3 times I think. But I still wonder why!

I also want to note that I have played several WEBRip/ WEB-DL 2160p movies (some in SDR and some in HDR). When I played them there was no pixelation or stuttering. To these movies I have been using the same media player (Nova Video Player).

The thing is that when I have tried other media players to try if the movie gets pixelated, then it don't show any difference, it gets pixelated and stutters just as much as before. So is it the TV's built in computers fault or is it something else?

So why does some 4K movies work and some don't? Because sometimes when I restart my TV, the movies suddenly works again without pixelation!?

The TV I am playing these files directly on is: Hitachi 50HAL7351.

So please someone, what is the main problem??

I don't have any 'legal' subscription services so normally the recommendations are pointless for me. However last night something really strange happened. I was watching TV on an IPTV app and suddenly the app crashed and home page restarted. To my surprise the app I watch movies and TV shows on were showing in my recommendations! I opened my IPTV back up and next time I went to the homepage it reverted back to normal. To be clear there was no local update to the app or GoogleTV and there is no possible way of adding this app to recommendations. The only thing I can think is that Google pushed a back-end update and quickly reverted it, or perhaps it was just a glitch but it seemed to work perfectly. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

I use a Chromecast with GoogleTV latest update in the UK, and the app I use is MovieBox Pro. I wish I took a picture of it when it happened but I just assumed it was an update and would stay like that.

Hello
I need help for cast screen
I recently buy the Xiaomi WANBO video projector T6 Max
But i can't cast my phone screen on this projector.
Before i buy the T6 Max, i have the wanbo X1 Pro, and i use the official app the name is (Miracast) and cast screen without problem.
But on t6 max i can't find projector in cast list because haven't any app for this! And i try to install some app's but not working or have bug or disconnect issues ...
* My phone is Xiaomi Poco F3 and i test with other models like Huawei and Samsung and not working.

Does the guide on TVs with built-in Google TV integrate streaming (YouTube TV or Pluto etc) with OTA if you have an antenna attached? This would be for a senior citizen so wanting as simple as possible.

Hi guys, I bought a tvbox form AliExpress which are not certified one.

There is a way to working around and change it to a certified and make its works like a Chromecast?

Apps that I already tried:

-Airscreen

• Airpin

• WiFi display

Tks 😉

Hey,

This is my first post here since this is the only place I think I can post my following issue:

I have an Android TV streamer device which is connected to a TV on the daily basis and works fine.

I connected it to my 4K Lenovo IPS screen (connected daily to my Mac), and watched fine.

After I connected back to the Mac, it all blurred, and the maximum resolution is Full HD.

For sake of comparison, I have dual monitors of the Lenovo, and the second one which I didn't connect to the streamer- works fine!

I did it few months ago with a Dell monitor, and it doesn't working anymore.

What can cause the problem?

UPDATE: Unbelievably, I have since found out that there is no longer any way to reset the PIN code on this TV to get it out of restricted mode. After I was unable to download the software that TCL support referenced in their initial reply, they followed up with this unbelievable piece of information:

Apologies for providing an invalid link. Upon checking with our supervisors, the software on the link I provided is already outdated which is why it was removed. Unfortunately, the steps I provided in my previous email are no longer applicable to the current software versions. The only way we can exit from Restricted mode without the password is by replacing the board on the TV.

Seeing as the TV is still under the manufacturer's warranty, we send a technician to repair the TV at no cost. We will first send the repair parts to the tech and once received, they will contact you to set up an appointment which will be depending on your availability.

I'm conflicted here:

1. ✅ They have offered to send a tech out to replace the freaking board to fix the issue, albeit only because I am within the warranty period (by a month).
2. ❌ It amazes me that there is no way to reset this TV if you have physical access to it. What is the market for this TV? To protect Fort Knox from cyber attacks?

Hello! I’m embarrassed to have to ask for this but I am stumped. I have a TCL Android TV, model 65S434-CA.

At some point, somebody has setup a restricted settings PIN. I have no idea what the PIN is.

I want to factory reset it but none of the online guidance, or even the factory user manual is any help.

I can’t reset it through the menu via remote because it is in restricted mode.

There is no reset button to press with a pin.

The factory default PIN codes such as 1234, 0423, or 0812 don’t work.

Any suggestions on what to try next?

I don’t care if the TV is completely reset. I just need to get it out of restricted mode.

I have an old firestick(4-5 years old) that has been a little laggy lately. I was going to upgrade to a newer version but then stumbled across this sub. I see there are a ton of different android tv boxes out there, and was wondering if there were better devices for my use case than just simply upgrading my old fire tv stick.

• I run my Fire TV Stick on ethernet, and don't plan on using WiFi.
• ~80% of my usage is from my local Plex media server.
• ~10% Netflix, ~10% Direct TV Now
• I stream IPTV from my plex server but it kinda sucks so I was thinking of sideloading IPTV Smarters or something. Are there better devices for IPTV streaming?
• I have an old school Chromecast which I cast to from time to time it runs on WiFi because of subnet issues. (Wired is segmented from WiFi)
• New fire stick is like $45. I'm not tight on budget but is there a better bang for your buck out there?

Could anyone please recommend an Android/Google TV compatible TV remote that has a a jog wheel for scrubbing through a video track - like the way the Apple TV remote or old Apple iPod does? (the round ring touchpad where you move your thumb in a circular fashion to scroll forward or backwards smoothly and accurately through the video)

​

Thanks!

I get 2160p HDR on both methods but it feels like it looks better on Google TV and the latest version of YouTube. But since it's a digital signal there can't really be different 1's and 0's.

As far as I could search, only Android 9 is available on PC. Are others also out there, or is this it?

Sorry if it's a dumb ques, but just getting into all this, so really wanna know.

EDIT: Also, why is Android TV only limited to 1080p resolution? Is there a way to get to 4K at least?

I'm on the latest version (14.75). If I try to watch a long video (like 6 hours), it doesn't start from the beginning and only its last 2 hours are playable.

This happened last week as well, but I didn't realize that it was happening since it started from roughly the same spot where I stopped watching on my PC and I thought it was intentional from the app to save ram or something.

Edit: It fixed itself overnight? I didn't change anything nor update the app, I have no idea.

I have a number of subscriptions and some times they get scattered and I can't confirm a new video by just looking at when it was released.

I have xiaomi tv stick and I can't shut it down. Pressing power button once, twice or long time all restart it. Should it be open all day long?
