    Mi Box S cannot cast my computer screen or play most videos from my browser ?

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 09:29 AM PDT

    Sorry, but are Android boxes mostly made to play youtube ?

    Anything else seems to be complicated.

    From which TV channel or video player can you cast to the Android Mi box S ?

    Thank you.

    Philips TV does not output analog sound sources anymore through optical socket

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 06:43 AM PDT

    My Philips TV has suddenly stopped outputting analog sound sources to the optical socket.

    I have a Logitech 5.1 system connected to the Philips TV (55OLED854) via an optical cord. I used to be able to listen DTS sound directly in digital on the speakers and sources like TV channels or analog movies would has well go out with a stereo mix.

    Since today, I can only use the external speakers for DTS/digital sound movies. No TV channels would be output to the external speakers.

    I have rebooted it by unplugging the power cord, then after boot, for a couple of seconds, the TV channels sound go through the optical output (I can see the red light coming out from the optical cord for a moment) then it stops and I can only hear the sound via the Philips internal speakers.

    I could not find any specific settings in the TV that could help with that, and I don't remember having changed anything.

    Anybody has an idea about the issue?

    Disney+ app

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 08:27 AM PDT

    Is there anyone using Disney+ app on Android TV, on any device (Sony TV, Xiaomi Mibox, Nvidia shield ecc.) and also having an home theater system? Version 8 and 9 needed.

    I need some help in testing sound.

    Also, since there's a 1 week free, anyone who's willing to install it and help me run a couple of tests?

    Thanks

    Copy AV output of Android TV to a different ChromeCast

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 08:11 AM PDT

    OK, so I've been searching for a while now and can't even find the right words to type into Google without it mistaking me for wanted to cast something from a phone.

    Let me explain.

    I have a nvidia shield android TV in the living room hooked up to hdmi receiver and from there to the TV. In the kitchen there is a Nest Hub smart display (chromecast with speaker and screen). Is there any way to copy whats onscreen on the living room tv/soundset to the kitchen smart? Is there a way to automatically cast the output of the nvidia shield to the nest hub in the kitchen.

    I have home assistant and Logitech harmony elite if that matters. I'm not looking for 2 way control, for now mostly just copy what's on screen to the kitchen.

    I know some Samsung tv's had an app that did something like this but couldn't find anything related to Android TV.

    Shield Tube '19 not keeping apps in RAM?

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 10:36 AM PDT

    I just upgraded from the OG Shield TV to the new 2019 Shield Tube (non-pro) and so far I'm not very impressed, especially with the amount of time it keeps apps in RAM. Anytime I go to the home screen and back to any app, it forces the app to relaunch, never keeping my place on what I was watching. I get that this one only has 2GB of RAM, but I thought that for sure it wouldn't be this bad. Coming from the original which would keep multiple apps in ram and relaunch right where you left off, having each app close automatically even when you go to the home screen is really frustrating.

    Happens with Netflix, Plex, Disney+ and more.

    Does anyone else have problems with apps closing out too quickly? I get that it would have to close out each app when you open a new one, but having to reload an app when you just hit home to check the time is a step too far. Am I alone in this, or is the just how this one works (and therefore I'll send it back because this is unacceptable)?

    App to disconnect bluetooth headphones?

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 04:06 AM PDT

    Can anyone suggest an app or a quick way to disconnect bluetooth headphones?

    I can't use a bluetooth toggle because my remote is bluetooth.

    I just want to disconnect my headphones, so the sound goes back to the TV speakers without having to go through settings every time....

    Thanks!

    Version of Apple TV app apk for sideloading on an Android TV that is not for Fire TV?

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 05:59 AM PDT

    Does anyone know where to find Apple TV app apk for Android TV sideloading that is not the variant meant for Amazon Fire TV?

    According to Apple's website, the Apple TV app (for Apple TV+ subscriptions) should other than Amazon Fire TV also be available on many Android TVs from Sony, including Sony Z9G Series, Sony A9G Series, Sony X950G Series, Sony X850G Series and more which all also run Android TV natively. Has anyone managed to get Apple TV app apk from one of those?

    https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-app/devices/

    I have tried to sideload Apple TV (Fire TV variant) apk from APKMirror on both my Philips Android TV and on my Nvidia Shield TV. The app meant for Fire TV looked to install fine but then when launched only get a message saying that Fire TV first needs to be updated before it will run.

    https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/apple-inc/apple-tv-fire-tv-variant/

    I have previously sideloaded the Amazon Prime Video apk on this same TV (and also updated it several times) and that still runs fine.

    My backstory is that I got a 12-months Apple TV+ subscription with my new iPhone and I would like to install use the Apple TV app apk natively on both my Philips Android TV and on my Nvidia Shield TV. I do not wish to use workarounds like casting or using an AirPlay app on my Android TVs, neither do I wish to buy an Apple TV or an Amazon Fire TV.

    Android TV with Ethernet

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    Wife keeps switching between YouTube TV and Hulu live. Have a variety of boxes and sticks. I am using a first gen fire TV in my shop because I need to plug into Ethernet. I was using a unofficial APK to play YouTube TV but that stopped working and the official app is not supported on the first gen. I have an Ematic Jetstream in the house I like but notice it's an older os. Is there something better or more current to use? Wouldn't mind something a little snappier but not wanting to spend Shield type of money.

    Thanks.

    Orange TV app won't connect on Mi Box S

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:53 PM PDT

    Hi there!

    It shows an error about Internet connection but everything else works great, even Prime Video.

    This happens since the last app update and Android TV update. As i saw on Play Store reviews, i'm not the only one with this problem.

    Did someone found a solution?

    App on Mi box S to install APK's? (X-plore error 13)

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:33 AM PDT

    X-plore has been recommended to me but it won't install the zoom APK. I keep getting an error-13 code. Any ideas?

    Edit: So after all your suggestions I found a fix! The APK was a bundle, that's why it wasn't being recognised. I found another APK file for zoom and X-plore installed it without an issue. Thanks!

    Help disabling sources in 'Live Channels'(shield 2019)

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:59 AM PDT

    I have network tuners because i live in the middle of nowhere, but i dont want other users in my house scrolling to things like the pluto, CW, Google Play, or other online source accidentally(because we have metered cellular home internet) is there a way to disable a source without uninstalling the app? I'd use HD Homerun instead but the app is too clunky and complicated for other users, and doesnt offer local DVR functionality (i'm the olny one that has recording rights for Plex but want them to be able to record something in case i cant schedule it) I'd have them use plex live TV but it tends to struggle with continuous viewing sessions that last several hours

    I'd be open to other apps with similar functionalities otherwise i'll just have them continue using plex, restarting shieldTV when it acts up, and having to schedule everything through me
