    Youtube app missing "back" and "skip" buttons while video is playing after latest update.

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 04:26 AM PDT

    Is there any way to get those buttons back? It's kind of annoying when I'm doing house chores and can't go back to the previous video.

    I can finally use Google Assistant to control my AndroidTV and its Built-In Chromecast

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:48 PM PDT

    I have a 2015 Sony Bravia with AndroidTV and built-in Chromecast as well as some Google Home speakers. For years I've tried this simple command: "OK Google, Play Stranger Things on Netflix on TV" and for years I would get this annoying response:

    "Okay, 'Stranger Things' from Netflix, playing on TV. ... Sorry, I can't play Netflix on AndroidTV yet. Try using your Android TV remote instead."

    Apparently this has worked fine with actual Chromecast devices, just not AndroidTV's that have built-in Chromecast. Very annoying and poorly handled, I say.

    I made a video and started a thread about this 2 years ago, and others concurred.

    I eventually gave up.

    Today, on a whim, I tried it again, and, for the first time ever, it worked. Not sure when they (Google? Netflix?) got around to fixing this, but they did. So I thought I'd share.

    Casting from iPhone to MiBox S

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I've got access to a MiBox S which works FANTASTIC on the TV.

    Only thing is I own an iPhone and I'd like to cast music/mirror screen (since all the rest the mibox lets me cast easily like youtube netflix twitch which is all I rly use).

    How do you easily mirror screen and/or cast music from apple music to the MiBox S?

    Thank you!!

    Using primary account but limited access?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 05:56 AM PDT

    How are most people handling their google account on their TV? I need to sign in for certain apps on my main account but do not want access to gmail, messages, and other sensitive apps. I have an account just for the TV but have no way to share Stadia for example.

    Please help clarify my doubts

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 05:48 AM PDT

    I am planning on upgrading my 32 inch TV which is now 8 years old with a moderate setup for my living room.

    Im planning on taking Toshiba TV which has Dolby Vision and atmos and This Atmos Soundbar. The TV here has Vidaa OS which is a Linux based OS and does not have many apps. I have a Mi Box 4K which i plan to connect to the TV. I have a few doubts regarding this setup

    • If i connect the Mi Box to the TV and connect the atmos soundbar to HDMI ARC, will i loose atmos when i play the contents from the mi box. My understanding is that I will NOT loose atmos, but would like confirm this with you guys who know better than me.
    • If i connect the Mi Box to the TV which has Dolby Vision, will loose Dolby Vision if i play the contents from the mi box. I tried to look for an answer, but im not sure.

    USB 3.0 Stick for Android TV - Advice

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:42 PM PDT

    Hi all, I want to buy an USB Stick to use as external storage for my Android TV. I will use it to install apps on it and I'm not sure what to get.

    I assume it has to have good speeds for writing and reading small files and have good longevity when used constantly to read and write data.

    I'm based in UK and I was looking at Samsung Fit plus, Samsung bar plus and Patriot supersonic rage elite gen. 1. They seem fine but the writing speed when it comes to small files is not great (from what I've seen in some reviews). Also, some people reported devices overheating which I believe it's not great and will decrease the life of the device...

    I'm also thinking about a portable SSD but most of them come in very large capacity and I can't justify the price...

    Would you be able to help me with some recommendations?

    Thank you!

    Kind regards,

    Google Duo disappeared!

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 04:35 PM PDT

    I was having fun testing out duo on my Android TV. I went to launch it today and couldn't find it (normally it would be under all apps). I thought my kids must have uninstalled it. Went to reinstall it and it is definitely still installed. I just have no way of launching it now. Clever google!

    Remote Assistant button not working correctly.

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:18 PM PDT

    I bought a Hisense H55 43 in. today and everything works fine from what I can tell except the Google Assistant button on the remote brings up the Bluetooth pairing screen. Is this a problem or am I just doing something wrong/ overlooking something.

    Xiaomi Mi Stick pre purchase doubts

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 04:45 PM PDT

    Hello everyone. Hope this Q is not much of a bother.. I'm seriously interested in buying this device, BUT, I really need it to work with all those IPTV services going round..

    Does anyone use it for this? Does it work fine? What apps can I use with it?

    TIA!

    Edit: This is my first array at IPTV, and I really don't know much about it.

    Wifi not working except for one app

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:32 PM PDT

    I use my Android Box to watch IPTV through an app called TiViMate. Lately something strange has started to happen. I am connected to WiFi and can continue watching TV. But no other app is able to connect to the internet. IPTV uses significant amount of data and it continues to work through TiViMate. However no other app works (I tried Youtube, Chrome, Play store).

    In the settings it continues to say "limited connectivity" but IPTV runs smoothly. But literally no other app is working.

    I have restarted the router; removed and reinserted the wifi network. Turned Android box on and of. Box is called Tanix TX6S.

    PS4 Dualshock 4 controller not working on Hisense H8G

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:56 PM PDT

    I have been trying to get my PS4 controller to work on my Hisense H8G, but there's 0 input after pairing it with the TV. And when I try to use the Button Mapping app from the Play Store it asks me to activate it through the Accessibility section in Settings, but there's no option from the app there.

    Is there a workaround I can use?

    Mi Box S 4K playback any good?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 01:51 PM PDT

    Hi all!

    I'm getting a new 4K tv for the bedroom to replace my 10 yr old 1080p tv. We decided that my kids will get the old tv. I have an old Mi Box connected to it that I've been very happy with, but that will also follow the old tv.

    Is the Mi Box S any good for 4K playback from streaming services (netflix, disney+ and others)? I have one of the older Nvidia Shield models (2015 I think?), but I dont feel like spending ShieldTV money if the Mi Box will do the job.

    If the Mi Box isnt up to the task, guess I'll have to grab a Shield TV.

    (I am aware of the new sabrina stick from Google, but generally these things are a year later to come to norway, if at all..)

    Sony Bravia 4k ur3 constantly gets stuck

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:55 PM PDT

    I've got this TV last week. It worked fine for a week and now I'm getting this issue. And I'm seriously considering just sending it back.

    It turns on works as expected for a couple of minutes and then it gets just stuck and doesn't respond to anything. Until you unplug it and wait a couple of minutes and plug it in again... And then it starts all over again.

    I've tried everything... Factory reset, updates(thinking it might be trying to update the software on the background and getting stuck) , unplugged everything, disconnected the Internet.... Nothing worked and I'm officially open for suggestions.

    I appreciate every bit of help or any suggestions you have.

    update The issue seems to be caused by one of the HDMI ports. hopefully it keeps working.

    ALT_RIGHT + another key doesn't work

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 08:21 AM PDT

    I connected a German keyboard and noticed I can't enter special signs like @ or €, which sit on Q and E. It seems Android TV on my Sony TV is totally ignoring the 2nd key. How to make it work?
