    Android TV Port forwarding on Firestick 4K

    Port forwarding on Firestick 4K

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 07:24 AM PST

    I have successfully managed to remote control and install/sideload any app on to my Firestick 4K using my laptop, both stick and laptop on my local network. Got a few more sticks for my family and would like to help them with installing/updating apps remotely. Normally, I would enable port forwarding from their router, but we have an ISP here who block access to router settings on purpose.

    Is there a solution on a VPN for Android TV that can be downloaded and enabled for port forwarding? Any other solution is welcome

    Thank you

    Chromecast not working Mi Tv 4s

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 02:47 AM PST

    So basically i bought Mit Tv 4s this week.

    I updated android to pie version and all apps but when I'm trying to cast screen through chromecast, the device aren't even appearing on list.

    Bluetooth is working and i can connect it with PC and android phone.

    What i tried are some solutions from the internet:

    I restared both TV and chromecast app.

    Tried on the same network with both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz wifi.

    Downgraded and upgraded chromecast app(both checking if either version is working) .

    Even tried factory reset but it's still doesn't work.

    Are there other fixes or maybe the build in chromcast inside of the TV is broken?

    Edit: ok, the problem lies on wifi side. When I connected via phone hotspot both pc and tv, chromecast works. The issue now is what to do to make chromecast work via home WiFi.

    Kodi HDR on JVC 50VA3000

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 07:28 AM PST

    Hello!

    Im quite new to the Android TV/Kodi scene. After having purchased a 4k Android TV i installed Kodi as well to watch 4k HDR content.

    After checking hours and hours on forums, using calibration videos and even borrowing a Xiaomi Mi S box to compare image quality i am 99.99% sure that Kodi is displaying 4k videos properly. However i cant seem to get HDR working at all. I dont seem to be able to change tv picture settings at all while in the app. Can do that when using Netflix or Youtube. I did manage to get HDR with the Xiaomi box, but I could change its picture quality settings quite easily from the box itself and also from the tv set.

    The tv set supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Is running Android 9. Not sure which soc but it does have a Cortex A55 processor.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Lack of apps from Google on Android TV

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 04:18 AM PST

    I recently bought an Android TV device to use it with my old TV and when I explored its apps, I noticed a lack of apps from Google especially when we talk about web and file browsers which are basic apps for every Android system. I used Puffin and sideloaded Firefox for TV, Silk browser and TV bro, but no one could give me a smartphone-like experience (ad blocking, multiple tabs, synchronization, etc.). I can't understand why Google didn't try to port Chrome to their TV system. The same for file browsing but at least FX browser do the job correctly. Even the remote app to control TV from smartphones wasn't updated since april 2017 and it doesn't support turning off the device or controlling the volume and there is no support to air mouse also.

    Is it only me who has this impression or everyone ?

    Google Play Movies buffering nonstop @ 4k

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 03:51 AM PST

    Recently purchased a PHILIPS - 50PUS8555, and 4k works fine on other steaming apps, but on the Google Play Movies app every 4k release is constantly stuttering. I have a gigabit connection, and the TV is pulling about 100Mbps when running a speedtest. Is this just the native app being subpar?

    Is there another service I could try to rent/buy 4k movies on? I ordered a Fire Stick 4k to give the app a try on that, but would be nice to have something native that worked.

    2021 Sony TVs offer 80mbps streaming

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 10:31 AM PST

    https://www.whathifi.com/us/news/sony-launches-high-bitrate-bravia-core-film-streaming-service

    Quote:

    Expect box office and IMAX Enhanced films at 80Mbps.

    Sony is launching a high-bitrate video streaming service alongside its 2021 Bravia TVs.

    ... delivers near-lossless content at an equivalent of up to 80Mbps.

    That's far in excess of the 25-30Mbps that other industry players, such as Netflix, operate at with their premium 4K content – meaning undoubtedly high quality pictures but, yes, big internet demand. In fact, to access the highest quality, you'll need a minimum internet speed of 115Mbps.

    This is something of a soft launch, however, as Bravia CORE will only be available to owners of the just-launched 2021 Sony Bravia XR TVs, specifically the Z9J, A90J, A80J, X95J and X90J.

    Chromecast with Google TV live tab through vpn spinning

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 12:46 PM PST

    I'm using a VPN to help with the streaming limitations imposed by my cell provider. It's working well with the exception of the Live Tab on Chromecast with Google TV (CWGT). I've got a subscription to YoutubeTV (YTTV) and that app works great but I can't get the live listing on the main page to work when I have the VPN turned on. I assume it's getting it's information from YTTV.

    I use the Windscribe app on CWGT and can exclude applications from going through the VPN but I don't know which ones to pick. It allows me to exclude system applications.

    I've tried excluding the YTTV app and it didn't help. I'm connected to a VPN very close to my physical location in Texas.

    Any suggestions? Wighout the VPN, I'm limited to 480p resolution. With the VPN, I get the best resolution the application supports so it really makes a difference.

    Thanks

    google watchlist for seasons not yet released

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 12:23 PM PST

    Hey guys - just recently got myself a chromecast tv, and I was wondering what to do about shows I've partially seen, if that makes any sense.

    For example, I love Ozark, and I definitely want to watch the next season when it comes out. If I add it to my watchlist, though, I think the existing seasons will be recommended to me even though I've seen them. Is there a way to tell the algorithim that I've watch some of a show, but not all of it?

    Mi Box S issue with wifi

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 08:06 AM PST

    Hi there!

    My Mi Box S has WiFi connection and apps to test wifi quality shows good signal and speed but when I open youtube or prime video it won't upload the video.

    I think I'll do a factory reset but I want to know if it could be an issue of the system.

    Edit: Factory reset solved the issue.
