    UI questions on chromecast with Google tv

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:39 AM PDT

    So coming from android tv boxes I at first liked the interface.. Until I realised that the Android 9 interface had some features that I can't see in google tv.

    Shame its not configurable, as in removing certain genres and adding rows like I mention below.

    I used to have say a Netflix row on the home screen that showed the shows we have been watching.

    I was expecting a currently watching row on the home screen. As in TV series that we are currently watching not the row that exists where it shows episodes or movies you've started but not finished.. I was hoping for series that havent been finished (not based on if a half episode has been watched.

    I guess I could use the watch list but that means I manually have to add eaxh series and its not to n the nice pretty home screen rather on a seperate tab.

    I have mixed feelings on it now I have recieved it.

    Biggest deal is that it can join speaker groups so that on its own might save it for me. My other android tv boxes running 9 and on beta cast don't allow it unfortunately.

    Youtube app on AndroidTV 8 - "Play All" button missing from subscribed channel

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 11:51 PM PDT

    Between yesterday and today Google appears to have removed the "Play All" button that used to be so conveniently located up the list of latest videos in any subscription. This means you now play the first video after which it autoplays some random crap recommended video (not from that channel) from 1993.

    Have you noticed this?

    How do we flag this with Google?

    Frozen Chromecast for Google TV

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 03:17 AM PDT

    Was working but currently frozen on the G logo.

    Have tried:

    Unplugging - no change

    Factory reset - light won't go yellow

    Reset from Home App - ended up accidentally deleting it from Home App before I could try

    Turn router off - nothing

    Chatted with Google - they suggested all of the above

    Any other suggestions ?

    Cheers

    Oh, in Australia

    How to hide suggested content from apps I do not have installed or services that I don't subscribe to.

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:32 AM PDT

    I just got the new Chromecast. I really liked the idea of it giving me suggestions on the homescreen. However, it seems every suggestion is from a service I'm not subscribed to. I don't even have the app installed for them.

    I tried looking through all of the options. Is there any way to hide these suggestions?

    TCL brings 4K Android TVs to the US starting at $199

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:57 AM PDT

    "Sometime in September, TCL brought its 4-series TVs powered by Google's platform to the US. Sold exclusively at Best Buy, these models are the first Android TV-powered options from the company to be offered in the States with 4K displays. Previously, only super affordable HD and 1080p options were sold for under $200.

    The new 4-series TVs include 50-inch, 55-inch, and 75-inch options at $349, $399, and $799, respectively. There's also a 43-inch model sold at Target which usually sells for $199. All four sizes are sold with the same 4K UHD resolution, an LED panel, and Android TV under the hood with full support for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, and other apps. These bigger, more expensive models also include a total of three HDMI ports."

    Has Speaker Groups come back to Android TV?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:42 AM PDT

    I've seen that over recent months, the ability to add Android TV devices into Google Home Speaker Groups has come and gone. This is a deal breaker for me as I really want to get a Philips Android TV! Now the new Chromecast has been released, is running on Android TV and is being marketed as supporting grouping, has anyone noticed if the ability to add other Android TV devices to Google Home Speaker Groups has returned?

    Google Photos ambient mode from the Chromecast GTV for Android TV

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 06:30 PM PDT

    So the Chromecast with Google TV finally brings the Google Photos screensaver to Android TV, but it does it in a strange way. "Ambient Mode" is essentially one of the screensavers you can choose, but Google hid the screensaver settings (can still access from a screen saver app).

    This got me thinking, so I extracted the Ambient Mode apk and installed it on my Shield. It installs and shows up as a screen saver option, however I still can't get it to use Google Photos. It seems to ignore everything I do in the Google Home app. Something is missing.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    What's the deal with Vimeo's app?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 09:44 PM PDT

    While the Vimeo service in itself (content, features) is fantastic, their Android TV app leaves a lot to be desired.

    Apparently it has not been updated in years, the interface is outdated and buggy, at least on my Mi Box.

    Has Vimeo abandoned this app? Is there an alternative app or service that can be used to browse and watch Vimeo on Android TV?

    (Using the Vimeo app on a mobile device and simply casting to the TV is possible, but not really a convenient experience.)

    Anyone knows? (optimistically mentioning /u/Vennom)

    Thanks

    HBO Now vs HBO Max?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 07:43 PM PDT

    With my Amazon Prime subscription, I have HBO Now. I can watch HBO shows using the Prime Video app without a problem. But whenever I search for, say, "Lovecraft Country," it opens up HBO Max. Is there any way to fix this?

    Everything else works so perfectly that this seems more annoying than it really is. I know I can just search for it from within Prime Video, but losing the convenience of the voice search kind of sucks.

    Xiaomi Mi Android TV Stick stuck on boot

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 11:29 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    Just got a Xiaomi Mi Android TV Stick and right out of the box is not working. Goes to the Android logo and then powers off and restarts..I can't even do the initial Setup.

    Is this a bug or is it already broken right out of the box?

    Thanks!

    Hulu app issues with Chromecast with Google TV

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 11:21 AM PDT

    Hulu has been bothering me on Chromecast with Google TV where it freezes the screen when playing ads. The audio continues but the screen does not change. I have had mixed results with rebooting Chromecast to resolve the issue. Does anyone know how to force close an app in Chromecast with Google TV or has a resolution to this problem?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 12:41 PM PDT

    Do these exist anywhere yet? My kids are at the age where everything gets thrown at some point, so I could use a little remote protection.
