    It's Time to Embrace Cloud Gaming, Especially GeForce Now

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 03:24 AM PST

    " Yet every single one of these platforms does cloud gaming in a different way. Each one is crafted for a different kind of user in mind, but right now none are as consumer-friendly as GeForce Now. Not only can you use it on PC, Mac, Android, iOS, Chromebook, and Shield (a media streaming device like Chromecast), but it's free to use and it's compatible with over 650 games that you might already own on Steam, Epic, GOG, or Ubisoft. "

    ​

    " Stadia, Luna, and xCloud are all great, but I see them as the back-ups to GeForce Now. Their libraries are much smaller at the moment, and they all use subscription models that revoke access to your games once you stop paying. In the case of Luna ($6/month) and xCloud ($15/month with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) your ability to access the cloud and play games on different devices goes when your subscription is up. Stadia does have individual games for purchase, but any games you get for "free" on its $10 a month Pro subscription tier disappear once your subscription is up. "

    gamepad connecting but not working on sony bravia after Android 9

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:44 PM PST

    Hi everyone, I was using my dualshock4 controller connected on my tv using bluetooth and it worked fine until today after the update, now it pairs, connects, but the inputs does nothing. I tried searching for anything related, but could not find anything. I also tried the factory reset but it also didn't work. The controller, however, does work when plugged in the usb. Does anyone knows what this could be?

    Dolby Atmos: Fire TV Stick/Cube vs Nvidia Shield?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 03:08 AM PST

    I've heard depending on the device the amount of content supported in Dolby Atmos varies. I've got a few questions regarding this:

    1. Can anybody explain the differences if there are any?
    2. Does Atmos work with connected Bluetooth headphones?
    3. Is the Cube just a smoother running Stick with hands-free Alexa and Shield slightly more powerful than the Cube with AI upscaling and focus on game streaming?

    Thank you!

    Mi Box S + Twich APP

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 06:06 PM PST

    Hello guys!

    When I am watching Twitch on my Mi Box S the streams is always having a bit of lag and some freezes (even after I press menu and get back to the official app).

    What app are you guys using? I've searched and I found that it's not only me so seems it's app related

    I'm trying app named "S0und" and it has only a few downloads and I'm afraid to use my login twitch to have my favourite streamers on the main menu.

    Thank you for your time!

    X800H ARC woes

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 02:06 PM PST

    I understand there has been some trouble getting ARC to operate correctly on this model, but the threads discussing this are about a year old so I'm praying theres been some development since.

    I have the cabel plugged into the ARC jack on my tv, and that goes to the OUT jack on my Onkyo HT-R590. I set my ARC settings on my receiver, so I think it's all squared away on that end. But I still cant get any sound coming from my tv. I'm not sure if theres a setting I'm missing somewhere (it's not like this tv came with a manual), so is there any advice or troubleshooting you guys can walk me through?

    TCL Android TV 5.1 through toslink/optical?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 12:28 PM PST

    I picked up a TCL 4-series with Android TV during an early black Friday sale. I have a 5.1 system connected via toslink/optical (doesn't have HDMI input). The system supports dolby digital and DTS, but not dolby digital plus. So far, I've found that only Netflix outputs true 5.1 surround sound (i.e., converts DD+ to DD). Prime video and HBO Max both only put out stereo. This is regardless of what audio setting I use. If I set audio as "Auto" the apps send a fake 5.1 signal that is really just 2.0. If I set it as "passthrough" then it just sends a 2.0 signal. This seems to imply that only the Netflix app does DD+ to DD conversion, and the rest just revert to 2.0.

    I've read that Nvidia shield, Mi Box, Fire stick, etc all do DD+ to DD conversion. I've also read that "newer" TVs usually support DD+ to DD conversjon. Is there any way to enable this on the built-in Android OS?

    Google Assistant Commands won't play youtube videos anymore

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 10:45 AM PST

    I had some Google Assistant routines set up for playing specific YouTube videos on my SHIELD TV. However, I just noticed with my CC w/ Google TV they aren't working. Instead of playing the video, it just shows YouTube search results.

    I've tried this with both "Watch [video title] on YouTube on TV" and "Play [video title] on YouTube on TV." Again, this used to work perfectly fine. Not sure what changed.

    Why is Netflix for Android TV so crappy?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 01:26 AM PST

    I honestly want to know. Like, why is netflix so terrible on android TV? Constantly getting error-100, or "can't connect to netflix, check network settings" but EVERY other app works just fine. It's LITERALLY just netflix, telling me i need to restart my device, every 2 - 3 hours, sometimes, it happens every 15 - 20 minutes.

    let's face it.. if EVERY other streaming app works perfectly fine, and 1 doesn't, that 1 is the culprit for the issue. PERIOD.

    I don't know if it's their convoluted DRM, the fact they try to siphon as much data from the user as possible (including contacts lists), but something needs to change, or i'll simply get rid of netflix all together.. there are plenty of other streaming services out there, i shouldn't have to put up with paying for one that simply REFUSES to fix their broken app.

    The fact that the TV app is a different APK than the phone app, and the TV app is the only one having issues, tells me it's a poor, half-hearted, shoddy attempt at a port, rather than a full measure, ground up build. Kind of fed up with paying for it, when it's obvious they think their customers will stick around and keep paying for sub-par service.
