Mi Tv stick vs Fire tv stick

My sibling has a mi Tv (don't know the exact model but it's about 4 years old). Its a smart tv but it you can't install Netflix on it (surprisingly it does support prime). I know you can just sideload Netflix on it but I want to gift him a fire stick. Is it worth it and would it work with a mi Tv? On googling I can also see a mi stick but don't know much about it. Looking for advice.

XBR65X850F reboots upon startup

Our Sony Bravia XBR65X850F was fine when it had Google TV. I like to not update the software often to prevent software breakage issues that can happen with updating. Well I decided to update and it updated to Android TV. It says android version 9 now. Before it had 8. After updating to 9, my tv shows “android tv” and has these colorful circle things spinning when you turn the tv on. Then it will either shut off and I have to turn it back on.

Other times when I go to watch tv, it wont turn on at all from the remote. I have to keep hitting the power button on the remote to get it to finally respond. It didnt do this before updating to android 9.

Whats going on? My tv is in warranty via extended warranty.

I tried doing a factory reset as sony suggested but same issue.

Chromecast TV Input Button Remap

Hey everyone, I've been trying to remap the "Input" button (bottom right) of my Chromecast TV remote. I have no use for switching inputs and want it to turn on my projector (the power button turns on my amp).

I've seen numerous posts around talking about "Button Mapper", however the app fails to recognize the Input button (let alone map it to a power IR signal for projector).

Anyone have any ideas?

TIVO stream 4k and Syncler.

Hi-anyone having/had a good experience with syncler on tivo stream? I'm not. Quits a lot despite all other apps closed. Works fine on my firestick 4k, though, which has pretty similar hardware, at least ram-wise. Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Except for "buy a shield", lol. I know that would solve everything.

Is there any Android video player that supports passing original resolution and refresh rate?

I have both NVIDIA Shield Pro 2019, CCwGTV and Firestick 4K. I play quite a few work videos (low resolution 720p 30 fps training videos) and my Samsung QN90A is the best upscaler for those. But if I use Shield or Firestick 4K, they all try to upscale 720p to 4K and none of them come close (even AI upscaler on Shield) to QN90A. I see Plex can preserve resolution and my QN90A reports it’s receiving original resolution. But my work videos are not on plex. I am simply using Airplay via Airpin pro. It has support for external video player. But Mx player pro, VLC, even Kodi built in video player, none of them seem to pass through 720p. My Samsung QN90A reports it’s getting 4K (Kodi can match refresh rate to 30 fps, but not the resolution) and video again looks bad. I can force firestick 4K to 720p and then get the desired behavior. But then I have to switch for each video. And videos are mixed with various resolutions.

Thank you!

How do I turn off Restricted Mode on SmartTube? New problem

So my device is a google Chromecast. Normally you can turn off restricted mode from your profile pic, at least on the PC. There does not appear to be a setting in SmartTube to do this on the chromecast. I have 14.36 version

So never had this issue before. I clicked on a video of Ana De Armas posing in some publication and it said

This video maybe inappropriate for some users

I keep hitting play and it does zip. Nothing

Anyway to fix this?

Can Onn streaming box give writable access to a flash drive?

I’ve formatted the stick to ntfs, which works fine on the box and comes up as readable. I tried moving my kodi over to the flash drive , but there aren’t any options for it. Also, tried moving my files in my kodi library to the stick and everything fails. Is there any way to make my flash drive writable on the box or is my only option to do it on a pc. I specifically use kodi for reasons, and I Don’t want to download shows and movies to my flash drive because I like when they update automatically in my kodi library without me downloading anything. All I want is for kodi (or the movie/tv paths)to be moved to the flash drive because they took up pretty much all the space on the box and I kept getting Low storage . I really don’t want to use my laptop or anything else.

Onn Android TV vs. Chromecast with Google TV - SmartTube

Trying to get rid of ads for Youtube when we cast from our phone to our TV, my son doesn't want a PiHole and I don't want to buy Youtube Premium. I currently use an old-school Chromecast now on a Samsung Smart TV.

What's the cheapest or most effective solution for this? Do I need to buy external storage for the Onn or Chromecast with Google TV? Does the Onn have Walmart quality and is there a noticeable difference vs. the Chromecast?

Our ultimate goal is to be able to stream videos from our phones to the TV without annoying ads playing, is there a way to do that? (I heard of people just using the history function on SmartTube but we don't want to do that)
