    Using AndroidTV (Beelink GT1 mini) as a wifi range extender

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:04 AM PST

    So i have a Beelink GT1 mini in my back room and i am running Ethernet cable to it from my router in the opposite side of a house , because i can not get a stable signal in the back room, i know my AndroidTv can create hotspot WiFi, but it will create a separate WiFi network, i know there are apps for android phones to repeat the signal, but they use initial WiFi connection and i can not get it in the back room.

    I hope someone can tell me if there is a way to use hotspot option on my GT1 mini to extend original WiFi network? I do not want to manually switch networks when i roam around the house.

    Voice command for selecting HDMI input?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:06 AM PST

    I have a Philip's Android TV on a network with Google Home devices. My Sky Q satellite box is plugged into HDMI 4. What is the voice command to make the TV select the HDMI input? I can turn the TV off/on, open Netflix, play youtube videos... but can't seem to find the right sequence of words to just watch TV.

    Updated my Sony TV XE8505 to a new Androidtv OS - how to use the multitasking window to close apps now?

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 06:04 PM PST

    I have the Sony XE8505 and today got a message that a new update is available. I did it and the OS changed a little bit here and there, the home screen looks different now. with the earlier version I could hold down the "Home" button to get a multitasking sort of view in which I could close all current apps. This wa suseful because if I had like 3-5 apps running at the same time (netflix, Youtube, tv, all still open) it slowed the TV down. So I made it my habit to always close apps in a regularly time.

    With the new OS update I dont get this screen anymore when holding down the Home button on the remote, so does someone know how to do it now?

    Xiaomi Mi Box S - Should I update to Android 9 Pie?

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:01 PM PST

    I just got mine from Walmart. It is on Android 8.1. I want Dualshock 4 support but I am afraid of all of the bug concerns regarding the update. I heard a factory reset right after the update fixes these issues. Is this true? Will it fix ALL of the issues?

    How might I simultaneously stream the same feed to multiple AndroidTV's?

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 05:33 PM PST

    I have a set up where I want to have the same feed playing on multiple screens at the same time. What is the best way to go about doing this? Is it possible wirelessesly?

    For instance, if I have a game on and I'm doing laundry, I have a TV upstairs and down stairs and in my office. If I start a stream down stairs and on the other two screens the streams are out of sync. I might miss some action as I move from room to room. What is the best way to remedy this so every device is on pace with the others?

    Sony Smart TV [XBR55 X900E] interface no longer functioning properly.

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 10:34 AM PST

    Hi,

    I have had a Sony Bravia XBR X900E 55-inch TV for just over a year now, and while it had mostly functioned fine up until recently, the interface seems to be no longer working properly.

    In particular, some remote-control commands no longer do anything, such as "HOME" and "INPUT."

    At first, I thought it might be a problem with the remote, even though most of the buttons still perform their function.

    However, even when I navigate to the Input section of the on-screen UI, and select a different input [such as the TV broadcast receiver or the Blu-Ray player], it no longer actually switches to those inputs!

    So it seems as if the interface is fighting me, refusing to recognize the concept of "HOME," "INPUT," and some other buttons. Has anyone experienced this problem before?

    I figure that my option is to factory reset, or wait for the update for Android 9. I think it's on 8 right now. But I've been asked to get more immediate results. Perhaps the best action is to disable the smart functions somehow and get an NVidia Shield?

    The small details make the 2019 Shield amazing

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 03:08 PM PST

    For example, I just started casting music to it, and because it has wake on LAN (MiBox S doesn't..) it turned my tv on, and then I was able to use the volume buttons on my phone and that command went to the Shield, which sent it to the remote which sent an IR command to my sonos soundbar to control that. I was very impressed the first time this happened

    Non English subtitles

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:48 PM PST

    Hi , What is the best way to download (non english or english)subtitles , than add them to our movies/series? I tried to dl from website like subscene , using puffin browsers-from my android tv box , but I get message " it's not supported " . Reason I said non-english , because for english sub , I can open my video with vlc , and search for subs inside vlc , but it doesn't show other languages.

    I believe it should be kind of straightforward, but I cannot find an easy way. Thanks

    Set Remote to Control Native Android Volume

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 08:27 PM PST

    I have a Verizon Stream TV, just out of the box. During setup, the volume and mute buttons controlled the native android system volume (which is what I want). However, at some point the system detected my TV and set the remote buttons to control the TV itself via IR (which I don't want). Is there any way to manually set what the remote's buttons do?

    How can I update Mibox with latest 8.x build/patches - skipping 9

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 08:02 PM PST

    Just bought a bnew Xiami mi box S with the walmart sale a few days ago.

    I already had a mibox S before and it had major issues with Android 9 and HDhomerun prime.

    So right now I have a mibox s with version 8 but the one that come in the box is with build 8.1.0 with build number OMP1.171019.011.588 - Security Patches are still from January 2019

    When I do system upgrade, it wants to download Android 9 which I'm trying to avoid.

    How can I update my mibox s to the latest 8.1.x without upgrading to 9?

    Also, how can I remove the Android System upgrade in the notification. I don't want someone accidentally upgrading it.

    Xiaomi Mi Box 3 won't display 4k60hz.

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 09:20 AM PST

    I've had my Mi Box 3 for a few years now. I have a Seiki 42 4k tv that will do 4k at 60hz and it has HDMI 2.0 ports, but I can only get the Mi Box to work at 4k30hz. I believe the tv is only 4:2:2.

    At first I thought it was because of an older HDMI cable. I bought some 18gbps HDMI cables but when I switch to 4k60hz in the display settings, the screen flashes green and static in an alternating pattern.

    I've powered off the box, tried plugging in the cable a few times, but it will only display at 4k30hz.

    Any ideas?

    Xiaomi Mi Box S : AV and HDMI at the same time and synced?

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 01:37 PM PST

    I have some doubts on the setup I plan to do, I want to buy this Xiaomi Mi Box S, I already have this Yamaha YAS-105 soundbar and the idea is to plug it to the Mi Box AV port (with this adapter + a toslink cable I already have) and then to plug a videoprojector I also want to buy to the Mi Box HDMI port.

    1. Will the Mi Box send the signals on both HDMI and AV ports at the same time or one has to select one port or the other?
    2. If it send it on both, will the image and sound be in sync or I could have a problem?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Help w/ Android TV launcher on Optoma P1

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 09:48 AM PST

    Hey guys! I recently got a Optoma P1 for my media room and the projector is amazing; but the software is subpar to say the least. The projector is not running a OEM version of Android so it does not have any way to use play store without flashing open gApps or something of the sort. I have tried just installing an APK of the Android TV launcher from apkhub and it shows up to choose as default home app but it makes no difference and it just goes back to the stock launcher. What's your suggestion to get the Android TV launcher or some other minimalistic launcher to work? Not having play store isint that big of a deal to me.

    Help after update on Sony smart tv

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 10:34 AM PST

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I have a problem with my Sony tv after the update on Friday.

    We purchased a Sony 49" KD-49XG8096 on New Year's Eve, it has been great so far, we have a virgin tv box connected and it is connected to virgin fibre broadband. We also have a my cloud 3TB HDD connected to the broadband.

    When we got the tv it instantly found the mycloud and would play video through the app seamlessly, navigating through the folders instantly.

    But since the update it is slow to navigate folders, can't find anything after 3 or 4 folders, says the mycloud is offline or not available when it works fine on my iPad or Xbox one.

    I've also tried plugging my 500Gb HDD that previously played video fine through the usb input and it says there are no videos on it 😡

    I have emailed Sony and so far had no joy, I asked if I can remove the update and they said it's not possible.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍
