    Shield remote keeps reconnecting to other shield

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:25 PM PST

    I have both 2017 and 2019 shield tvs. I moved my 2017 shield to the bedroom and took the 2019 remote and unpaired it from the 2019 since I use Logitech setup on it. The 2019 remote every day or other day keeps reconnecting to the 2019 shield. I have to hold the back and home button for 3 seconds to get it back to the 2017 shield. Then the next morning I'll tell the 2019 shield to forget remote 2 accessory. That night or next night it does it all over again. What can I do to the 2019 remote to make it stop pairing back to the 2019 shield because obviously what I'm doing isn't working.

    My new Minix Neo T5

    My new Minix Neo T5

    New Minix Neo T5

    Love cobbling my own home made media center with these android boxes since the SMP8635 back in the popcornhour A-110.

    I'm a minimalist guy who likes a simple setup so no where near tested all the options and features.

    My Setup

    Sony Bravia 55W700B

    Yamaha RV-1700

    T5 HDMI to Bravia / TOSLink to Yamaha

    Rii+ Remote

    +++

    Sharing my thoughts for anybody who is like me

    Smaller than expected, about 1/3 smaller than my T95Z clone which was surprising. Took pictures of my Kodi audio as I've had issues with passthrough in the past. Unplugged old device and plugged in T5.

    Wouldn't pick up my cabled ethernet connection or my 5G Wifi. Had to connect through 2.4 Wifi. Set the language and small wizard popped up. Asked me if I wanted to install a bunch of apps which had a few that were nice (Kodi, X-Plore, VLC). Included remote doesn't have voice. Simple IR and tiny. Had to figure out how to "return" with my Rii+. Frustrating for a minute but was fine. In the midst of exploring an automatic firmware update came in which I applied.

    Loaded Kodi and streamed Avengers.Endgame.2019.1080p.BluRay.x264.DTS-WiKi.mkv locally from my Synology NAS to test passthrough. Just worked. This was amazing to me because all my other android boxes I'd have to tweak the advancedsettings.xml. No need here but may configure in the future.

    Installed Seren + RD and tested with Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Automatically played a 2160p DTS file which actually streamed like butter. My old box would stutter on 2160p anything. Seren ran a tad faster on this box which I liked, but the simple fact what ever played just played (no skipping, no buffering) was a huge plus. Best part for me was the picture quality. It has some HDR-like feature that when I turned it on it made the black BLACK. So that is making my movies pop.

    Netflix and Amazon Prime are non existent in the play store. I tried a simple side load with X-Plore and it would only play Netflix sideways. I figure I can fix this, but with seren+RD I might not even bother. Amazon prime... Well I never actually watched it now that I think about it.

    Just have to add Nixtoons for my 70s toon fix and I think I'm good.

    First time with AndroidTV and I dont like the limitations it has, but thats coming from full android OS TV boxes. I DO like the fact that AndroidTV just works out the box making it feel more like a commerical product. Box quality was nice and aesthetics were smooth. The UI passes the "non-tech wife" test with flying colors. She likes that the boxes are big and easy to navigate.

    Looking to see if I can get KODI more prominent on the first page. There is a smaller banner up top that you can use but it doesnt bring attention to itself.

    TLDR; small compact device that had all the inputs I needed and just worked out the box. Took me longer to setup KODI than to configure this. Would recommend as a solid media device that is a bit easier to navigate given AndroidTV

    AMA :)

    MX player not reading externally HDD

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:59 PM PST

    Am hoping for some help with the issue in the title. Last year I had no issue using mx player to read videos off of my external HDD but for the past 6 months it's stopped recognising it and the only app that has worked for me is the stock media player app pre installed on the TV.

    Just wondering if there is any sort of fix for this that I'm missing. I have a Toshiba U77 android tv and my HDD is formatted to NTFS. Thank you

    TV simultaneously outputs audio to speakers and bluetooth two. Any way to disable that?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:38 PM PST

    When I connect Bluetooth headphones, the TV keeps playing audio through the digital output too.

    I want to automatically disable the speaker audio when I connect Bluetooth. Is there a way to do that?

    Automatically Volume-Down when talking to Google-Home issue!?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 01:47 PM PST

    Hello! I'm very new to Android-TV, my first TV now with it (Sony-Bravia-XG8096), and I have also Google-Home to control nearly everything on Electronics with my voice at Home, and of course I want to join my new Sony-TV to this system! The most works, but I have to learn what are the right commands, but my problem is, there is a setting in the Google-Home-App for automatically turn the Volume down when I talk with the Google-Home, and automatically turn the Volume up again after, and this works only when the Sound comes only from the TV-Speakers itself, but not when the Sound goes over a Soundsystem (Homecinema and so on)!? - It do something, because it is to see, that the volume goes down, but only 1-Point, and sometimes it turns off the volume fully, but don't turns it on again!? - I think this is a CEC Bug, but maybe there's a solution for this!? Thanks!
