    Android TV What is Wolf Launcher?

    Android TV What is Wolf Launcher?


    What is Wolf Launcher?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:38 AM PST

    I keep seeing discussion of Wolf Launcher, an alternative launcher for Android TV, come up, and it looks interesting, but I am a bit worried about it. It's not on Google Play or any other app store, there doesn't seem to be an official site for it, every guide that mentions it seems to link to some Dropbox download or something, none of the tutorials seem to say where it came from... it all just seems super sketchy. So I figured I'd ask; what is Wolf Launcher? Who made it? Is it safe?

    Hi there!

    Well, the profiles in Prime Video web and Windows 10 app is up, but is there any news about when will be this released to Android TV app?

    Does the Amazon stick have profiles? (Could be the Google vs Amazon war)

    USB Gamepad/Joystick and android TV

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 07:24 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I just bought a Xiaomi 43" with androidTV TV.

    I wanted to try Steam Link to play games on my couch.

    When I connect my USB gamepad (cheap PS3 copy which works on my PC) I can navigate using the d-pad or sticks, but whenever I press a button, it launches a preinstalled app like Netflix or amazon prime. I can't use the button inside the app, but I can navigate.

    Any idea how to solve this ?

    Cheers.

    Any Spotify Connect agents available?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 07:44 AM PST

    Is there any app which lets you to play music with Spotify Connect without actually launching it? Spotify app should be opened once device started up to make my Android TV projector discoverable (but when I play music and close spotify app, music becomes very laggy). I haven't found any solution with librespot for ATV, am I looking bad for it?
    I have another setup with RaspberryPI + raspotify which works great, I want to have same thing, but for my AndroidTV device. Does anyone know any solutions?

    I'm looking to get an android box for my TV have anyone had experience whit the X96 brand?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:08 AM PST

    As I sayd in the title I'm looking for an TV box and those whit x96 on the top are quite avaliable in my region and on a good price but are they any good?

    I watched some reviews but they give basicly just some performance stats and nothing for day to day usability other than the remote is bad

    From what I have read there seems to be two versions on each box one whit android TV and the other whit Android AOSP what the difference betwin them?

    AndroidTV resolution stuck at 1080p on Hisense 58H78G - can it be increased?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 05:47 AM PST

    I am struggling to understand what could explain why the resolution for AndroidTV on the 58H78G, I just acquired, is stuck at 1080p.

    When setting up the TV on the first start, the interface looked like 1080p (poorly) upscaled - you could notice the logos and text not being sharp.

    If I start Youtube app, it renders 4k content clearly but when I go back to AndroidTV it looks blurry.

    I tried running Kodi which confirms the system it is running on, has a resolution of 1080p only (visible under the System information of Kodi), which makes AndroidTV fairly useless for any extra app that cannot recognize a 4K environment.

    I tried a few others apps and it looks like there is no native 4K rendering on this TV which if true is the most disappointing marketing move I have yet to see. The point of that purchase was to collapse TV and smart player in one product. I was curious (and maybe worried) to see the kind of system on chip such a TV would have. While I understand the TV is classified as budget, it is sad to see such a limitation on the user experience.

    I have an NVIDIA ShieldTV (running AndroidTV 8.2) that I connected to the Hisense on HDMI and that player displays its interface as a 4K resolution (showing on the on-screen input resolution notification).

    I have even enabled the developer mode in Android to try some recommendations around changing the size of the window manager and density which did not change the actual resolution.

    For reference, in debugging mode over the network:

    xiaoyushan:/ $ wm size Physical size: 1920x1080 

    And the dumpsys window output:

    Which seems to confirm everything is running at 1080p for the launcher.

    If I issue a 'wm size 3840x2160' command, the physical resolution remains the same, only the window manager changes which does not address the problem:

    $ wm size Physical size: 1920x1080 Override size: 3840x2160 

    I tried the the 'wm density' but, as far as I can tell, this is only for the way the ratio of the rendering looks like. I experimented a bit however, that does not address the native resolution.

    Then the hwComposer section reports the following:

    I am trying to understand whether the AndroidTV can run the launcher at 4K or whether the system on chip cannot handle that 4k resolution.

    If anybody has any guidance on what else to check or try through ADB shell to confirm what I observed, that would be helpful.

    Please suggest some apps to play 4k videos , vlc lags a bit.

    Android Metz TV 55" wi-fi problem

    Posted: 28 Nov 2020 10:27 PM PST

    Hi guys. I'm experiencing some problems with my brand new Metz Android TV 55". I connected to my wi-fi network but it says "connected, no internet access". Before you ask my network is working just fine, all my other devices are working properly.

    Some other guys experienced the same problem but it was a easy fix for them, they just adjusted the clock settings to their time zone and the wi-fi problem disappeared.

    I think you understand my frustration. I bought yesterday a TV for its online features and i cannot use its apps. Any idea will be welcomed. Do you have any idea what's going on ??? Thanks.

    Hi all!! Help me out. When using (several different) android tv boxes projected to my screen, the colors for selection boxes (Ok Cancel) can barely be seen or deciphered as to what is actually selected. Can these colors be changed? TIA

    AndroidTV home screen colors wrong and can't seem to be changed.

    Posted: 28 Nov 2020 10:20 AM PST

    I can't seem to get my AndroidTV's color settings to apply/update to the home screen and everything has a horrendous blue cast. Most reds lean towards purple.

    • Color settings do apply to all of the HDMI inputs; so they are fine, -this only affects native android apps installed on the tv.

    • I do not have any 'cable' or 'air' input so 'live TV' color-cast is unknown.

    If I make color settings changes in Android settings, and then start say, netflix, the color settings do propagate to the playing video. But not to in-app netflix menu options. So that means the only way to make color changes is to;

    • Make the color changes from android settings
    • Exit settings
    • Start netflix
    • Start netflix app (which still has blue color cast)
    • Verify color changes have occurred
    • Go back into android settings and keep looping this process

    So any Android application running on the TV looks like crap.

    Mostly this wasn't an issue until I set up Jellyfin, and Steam Link. Now my steam games look like blue crap.

    Anyone have some ideas on how to fix this?

    By the way, jellyfin and steam link are fantastic for cord cutting and making a super clean tv install. My HTPC is now in the basement and I can stream my games (and media) at 1080p (or higher) to ANY device in the house (cellphones, laptops, tablets). I have my steam controllers and xbox controllers bluetooth synced to the TV and gaming has never been better! I'm running this over wi-fi currently, but will soon run in-wall cat5 to the TV to improve media streaming.
