    Android TV No Google Photos app? So this is the box in the UK and all the other logos indicate apps that work on the device. Is Google Photos just there because we can Chromecast from your phone? Have I missed something?

    Shield Tube vs CC Google TV vs Mibox S

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 03:23 PM PDT

    hey im buying an android Box for iptv only, i dont have netflix or any other subscription i only need IPTV, my provider is already good but the box that i have has only 128mb of ram and is very laggy.

    i have a COBRA ONE SE box i dont think its an android box

    wich box will be the best and last longer

    NO GAMING or anyhting, Just IPTV

    i know shield is the best but is it worth it for 150 ( when its 2015 hardware a little bit optimized)

    Mibox seems like a good option for 50 bucks and then maybe a year or two later get a shield 2021 or something new.

    google TV in my country is 70 so more expensive than mibox

    all i want is IPTV and a box that will last long

    for a 4K Samsung TV thanks

    how to uninstall hidden apps?

    Posted: 20 Oct 2020 06:31 AM PDT

    Hey there!
    So I bought a new Sanyo kaizen android Tv this week and came across this app store called Aptoide TV. and wanted to sideload it. I made a mistake while sideloading. Instead of installing the AptoideTV app, I installed the Aptoide app (made for mobiles).

    Now, my TV just doesn't show this app anywhere but it is visible through sideload launcher (Another app used to launch sideloaded apps). I want to uninstall this Aptoide app.
    How can I uninstall it?? I can't see the app in settings/apps nor on the home screen. It is only visible in sideload launcher.

    Workaround needed: Switch TV Input with CCGT Remote control

    Posted: 20 Oct 2020 01:41 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I have a problem with the remote control from the new Chromecast Google TV:

    I connected the TV Input button with my TV, the button works. I can switch through my TV Inputs, for example HDMI1, HDMI2 and HDMI3.

    But my HiSense TV is stupid, it wants an OK Button to switch to the Input source. And the CCGT remote has no ok button.

    All I need is an OK button for accepting the channel switch! It would be great, one remote less. :)

    Has someone similar problems and knows what to do?

    Thank you!

    Bricked Sony Bravia

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 12:09 PM PDT

    Hey guys/gals,

    a friend of mine bricked is 2017 Sony Model (X900e) during the recent update. It seems to be stuck in recovery mode (Android on its back with error sign).

    I'm pretty familiar with Android for phones and flashing, but can't gather all the answers i need after 2 hours of research.

    • Might a USB-A to A cable let me connect the TV in this mode to my PC, given this really is recovery mode? Fastboot doesn't seem to work on Sony TV's.
    • Sonys firmware files are pkg's and encrypted, so flashing them through recovery might be impossible?
    • Any other tips on how to revive the TV?

    Thanks up front for your time!

    Chromecast with Google Tv: HEVC H.265 support.

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 02:45 PM PDT

    I have tried multiple apps: kodi, vlc, mx player but H.265 either stutters or crashes the app. Any insight on wether the new Google Tv supports HEVC? Or which codecs it does support?

    SOLUTION: So turns out in kodi I had audio passthrough enabled and DTS was enabled. Which I had to disable. It was causing my issues. Out of luck it seems I was streaming all DTS audio files. Dolby digital and dolby digital plus files work fine with audio passthrough. But not DTS. Hopefully this helps others. H.265 4k works just fine now.

    Does anyone have the Sony Apple TV App?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 12:45 PM PDT

    Sony pushed a software update for the 900H that gave it the Apple TV app, but for some reason only has released the app there. Does anyone have the APK for it so I can side-load it on my 950H?

    I'm planning to buy mi tv box and was curious as to any apk can be installed or there are restrictions for android TV os. For example, does the same apk which works for my mobile can be installed to android TV OS or will there be a different version for it?

    Chromecast with Google TV USB

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 11:26 AM PDT

    Hi. I'm new to Android TV and would appreciate any help you can provide. I've read through posts mentioning external storage attached via USB for media playback but can't seem to get the CCwGTV to recognize drives formatted to anything other than FAT32.

    Steps I've taken:

    1. Format drive from exFAT to FAT32
    2. Attach drive to CCwGTV and format to Internal Storage
    3. Format to Removable Media (CCwGTV seems to require that the drive first be formatted as Internal Storage)
    4. CCwGTV formats drive to FAT32

    Also tried this:

    1. Format drive to EXT4 using EaseUS in Windows 10
    2. CCwGTV shows the drive under System>Storage but the drive is not available for playback unless I format it (which then formats it to FAT32)

    Has anyone been able to attach a drive formatted to EXT4 and play local media with file sizes greater than 4GB? I have enabled Developer Mode and switched to MTP and I've tried accessing EXT4 formatted drives via USB OTG in X-Plore File Manager, MiXplorer, and directly in VLC and Kodi with no luck.

    Thanks either way.

    YouTube on Google TV - old version?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 11:19 AM PDT

    Hi. I'm migrating from my Shield to Chromecast with Google TV, and I've noticed that the version of YouTube on Google TV reflects the prior navigation system.

    And, as an aside, I also notice that YouTube TV on Google TV is missing the "switch accounts" feature in the settings menu!

    What's up with Google TV having different/older versions of apps that Android TV has? Isn't it all just Android TV behind the scenes?

    PS- I think it's time for the GoogleTV subreddit to co-exist given these differences, don't you think?

    Chromecast with Google TVs unsung feature

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 06:46 PM PDT

    Dynamic range switching. It's fast. Like crazy fast. I've been using an appletv 4k pretty much since release, and it's widely considered one of the best streaming devices on the market. And yet ... when your source media switches dynamic range between sdr, hdr 10, and DV the screen goes blank for 10 seconds or more. This is common on other devices as well (I've observed it on roku and firetv). On the new google tv however dynamic range switching is nearly instantaneous meaning less time spent waiting for content to display and more time spent watching. It's a little thing, but it's imminently noticeable. It's the kind of difference that's so glaring it makes you wonder how other manufacturers have failed so thoroughly in this regard.

    What do you guys think? Any features or performance quirks that you've noticed/love?

    Recommendations for reliable android boxes?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 05:14 PM PDT

    Hi, I want to get an android box for my father to stream sports/tv on. Which android box would you guys recommend?

    He mostly uses apps such as mobdro but the streams always buffer (even with fast broadband). Which specifications should I look out for to reduce/eliminate buffering like this?

    Just to note, I have an android box myself and it's having some connection issues (I'm in the middle of fixing thanks to help from on here) so reliability is also a factor.

    Thanks for reading and any help would be appreciated!

    Problem with NBC Sports native app with Chromecast with Google TV

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:11 AM PDT

    While trying to watch English Premier League Soccer over the weekend, I could not get the native NBCsports app to work. I tried to restart, uninstall/reinstall, delete cache/data, and continue to keep getting the error "unable to play this asset."
    I have the device connected directly using an ethernet connection. I can use the app on my phone and cast it to my device but the native app doesn't work. My Roku was able to play the games. Any reason why I keep getting this error or how to alleviate the issue?

    Is there a way to watch FOX in 4k?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 02:40 PM PDT

    I find it odd the fox app doesn't let you watch 4K football without a roku or firestick. Is there any work around to watch NFL in 4k without those devices?

    Feedback/Support for Android TV apps

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 10:14 AM PDT

    For example, I paid for and installed Photo Gallery & Screensaver on my Shield.... Paid for the full versions....

    The Screensaver is what I'd like tech/dev support on, but there is no such option on the Android TV Playstore.... And the app is not found on the Playstore on my phone.... There is an email address, but after sending repeated emails, I have not heard back from the dev at all......

    So, little help?

    Cheers
