DEBATE: Best Android TV version out of the box?

Posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:35 AM PST

I received my Philips 65OLED804 yesterday. It has Android TV (I updated it to the latest version) and I have found a setting that said "Switch on with Chromecast" that allows the TV to be switched on from a Chromecast app on my phone. But when I tell my Google Home to turn on the tv it just registers the command and does nothing. When I ask to play a show from Netflix on the tv it says that it's going to play and right after that it says that Google Home doesn't support Android TV yet. Is there anything I can setup to make it more compatible with Google Home?

Hey guys,

I've been having trouble casting on my Nvidia shield 2019 and I finally found a solution.

What I had to do was uninstall and reinstall the Chromecast built-in app from the Google play store and that resolved the issue.

I figured this out after having no success whith clearing the Chromecast cache, restarting my router, and restarting my Nvidia shield.

Hi. I have a Sony smart TV that does not have a browser, Gmail access, etc. I was reading up and came into a conclusion that buying an Android TV device would be a good bet. Something under $100 that I could plug into hdmi port and perhaps use a wireless keyboard and mouse to browse around. Any thoughts?

Casting from facebook to nvidia shield

When I cast a video from Facebook on my phone to my nVidia Shield, the plays fine but when it ends the shield goes on to play some other random video, that I have no control over from my phone, and Facebook video returns to my phone with a suggestion for something else to watch. Do others notice this or am I doing something wrong?
