Request Now TV (UK) on Android TV

Hello all,

I got chatting to someone who works at Now TV and they said that they don't seem to have enough demand from customers to release the app on Android TV (despite it being available for Sony Android TV customers). He said if enough customers submitted feedback requests it would be prioritised on their backlog.

My ask - please can you submit a feedback request to NOW - Help - Complaints (nowtv.com) asking nicely for them to release the android TV application!

Sun Player relation to vlc?

The android tv app, Sun Player, looks virtually identical to vlc.

The australian outfit that puts it out (nasai) seems to be surrounded in murkiness.

Has anyone been using Sun Player for a while and noticed anything fishy about it?

YouTube for Android TV now shows when a video has Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio but the button is buggy

When you press the button it switches back to stereo PCM (I guess it switches to multichannel PCM on the Shield) but pressing the button again doesn't switch to DD+ anymore.

Nova Video Player on TCL R646 (Google TV)

New to Android/TCL SQUAD. I have installed Nova Video player on my TCL R646, but having two issues, wondering if you can asisst:

  1. I oftenly use BT Soundcore Q30 wireless headphones, audio in Nova is so dull and weak while watching 4K Dolby Atmos contents, unless I use boost audio option which destroys the encoded sound quality, same movie when I play in default TCL media player in same environment, it works flawlessly but I dont like default media player. Any idea why sound quality is not being picked up?
  2. If I change video settings in TCL R646 while playing let say SDR DV contents, it does apply to all contents, rather it should be to that content specific, whatever settings I apply, they being applied to all contents. It doesn't happen in Netflix though, for each diff content netflix auto picks my custom calibrations, but the Nova player not.

Is there any way to have an Android TV resume playback of Hulu Live TV when powering the TV back on?

My grandparents have a Hisense Android TV and use Hulu Live TV but would much prefer to be able to turn the TV on and have their last watched app resume, I.e. Hulu Live TV watching the news. Acting as if it never ceased playback with the display off, like a cable box. Any way to accomplish this?

Fire Stick TV Lite or Xiaomi Mi TV Stick?

I have a 1080p "dumb" TV, I mostly need to a media streamer for Netflix and Youtube. After so much research I am getting either the Fire Stick TV Lite, or the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick. But I am still hesitant on deciding on one of them. Now, before you say "neither, get the Chromecast with Google TV", that would've been my first choice but I'm on a budget so it'll have to be between the other two.

From what I've seen, I don't really like the user interface of the Fire Stick, it mostly promotes Amazon's streaming service which I do not use. I really much prefer the android interface that the Mi Stick offers, since it focuses on apps more than content, and it uses the Google Playstore which means more apps than the Fire Os store, also the Google Assistant on the remote which is more compatible with my android phone. And the Mi Stick comes with built-in Chromecast which could be useful and overall it seems like the closest thing there is to the Google TV. So that should be the obvious choice, right? Yet most reviews I've seen online have been discouraging of the Mi Stick, I think for a lot of people it is laggier and causes crashing and overheating. The Fire stick seems to have a better performance overall, but I still dislike its amazon focused interface, and the Lite version remote control doesn't have a power button or volume buttons, which is kind of an inconvenience having to switch remotes any time I need to lower or raise the volume.

If you've used any of those sticks, I'd really appreciate your experience with it, and any issues you might've had. I literally cannot seem to decide which one I want on my own, I'm more inclined towards android based Mi Stick but I don't want to risk a laggy experience, so I'm considering the Fire Stick Lite.

How do I disable power on from media buttons?

If my TV is off and you press the YouTube or Netflix button on the remote, it will power on the TV and launch the app. How can I disable this so that only the power button controls the power to the TV?

Usecase: I’ve remapped the YouTube button to YouTube Kids but when used to power on the TV it sometimes still launches the original YouTube app - I’d rather have the kids turn on the tv and then press YouTube as I’ve had no issues with the remapping once the tv is already on.

AndroidTV LED devices with powerful computer?

Hello guys.

My Father asked me for advise about which TV suits most to use with his m3u list to watch 1080p or even 4k streams?

He just wants to have one remote and get rid of the second remote which is used.for the android tv boxes.

The issue is I dont want to advise a tv which should be around 1000$ as for his Budget with 75 inch screen which will be to weak to play high resolution content.

Do you have any advise? How can I know how powerful the computer of a TV really is?

Soniq Android TV keyboard control

I have been playing around with a Soniq S55UV16A-AU. I bought it without a remote from a second hand store, and discovered that a Kmart Anco universal remote would not connect no matter what code was used. Without the remote, I couldn't tune any channels, or use most of the 'smart' tv capabilities. I discovered yesterday that I could plug in a keyboard into the USB port and control what I discovered to be a 4.4.4 Kitkat Android OS.

The keys I have found are:

  • Android Home: Fn + F3
  • TV Menu: Ctrl + Esc or M
  • Back: Esc
  • Channel List: Enter
  • Channel Info: I
  • Channel Input: 0 - 9
  • Volume: Fn + F10/11
  • Mute: Fn + F9
  • Search: Alt + Space
  • Screenshot: Print Screen

Using this I was able to connect to wifi and scan tv channels.

At this point, I can't find the exact buttons to control the episode guide screen, I can't figure out how to get Alt + Tab to work properly and can't do +/- channel changing. The cinnavision servers are clearly dead too, so APKs would have to be transferred.
