| My one complaint: A small speaker on the remote that beeps when I lose it Posted: 17 May 2021 06:26 PM PDT WHY ISN'T THERE ONE ?!?! You know what really grinds my gears? I have a Google Home and an Android TV. They gave the remote a microphone but no speaker. This is a no-brainer, why no tiny speaker EXCLUSIVELY to emit a loud beep when you tell Google that you lost the remote. Nobody at HQ thought of this? edit: I am a chronic remote-loser, I will admit that, i'm just annoyed that I have to buy AirTags for a remote when this should have been built in! [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else having playback issues with SmartTubeNext? Posted: 17 May 2021 10:31 PM PDT Nothing is playing at all. The video doesn't load but from the homescreen the thumbnail still shows the video preview. Everything is working on the normal Youtube app ofc. I'm on version 10.141 [link] [comments] |
| How do i default the UI for Chromecast W/Google tv? Posted: 17 May 2021 12:38 PM PDT I suck at searching, was told there was a way to default the UI for Googles new Chromecast device, to a simple interface, but cant find it. Im not talking about installing or sideloading some APK launcher, but switch to a minimal UI in the settings. [link] [comments] |
| Mecool KT1 review: AndroidTV-flavored digital terrestrial television �� Posted: 17 May 2021 06:15 PM PDT Mecool was kind enough to provide me with the Mecool KT1, an Android TV device that sports a DVB-T2/S2/C tuner built-in that I was able to test successfully because it's the standard available in my country. Below are the specifications of the device: - Android 10. - Amlogic S905X4 with AV1 hardware decoding. - GPU Mali-G31 MP2. - HDR, HDR10 and HLG. - 2GB DDR3 RAM. - 16GB internal storage. - WiFi AC dual band. - Ethernet 10/100. - One USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 ports. - One microSD card slot. - Bluetooth 4.2. - HDMI 2.1. Next, the pros and cons of the device: PROS: - The interface feels snappy and fluid thanks to the S905X4 SoC, I still haven't seen any lag. - The remote control is useful to program the TV's ON/OFF power button when HDMI-CEC is not available, plus, a built-in mouse toggle helps to control side-loaded apps not made for the remote. A numerical pad, an assistant button, a Live TV button and quick colored buttons to access functions for the "Live TV" app are also available. - The "Live TV" app is an slightly modified version of the "Live Channels" app, intended to gather different live channel sources (Pluto TV, M3U8 streams, etc.) and the bult-in tuner, all in one place. - You can Invoke a TV channel from home screen by the press of the assistant button, just say "channel [number] and it goes directly to it. - Multichannel PCM support is back on Android 10 (it was removed from Android 9 for some reason). - Dolby Atmos inside Dolby Digital Plus passthrough support is available. - Dolby Digital Plus to Dolby Digital conversion is available thanks to the variant in the SoC (The letter B in the SoC [S905X4-B] means the device can provide the conversion. Earlier S905X SoCs with that letter also supports the feature). - The SoC/GPU helps to improve PSX games using emulators, stutter is practically gone, though N64 games still need a powerful device such as the Nvidia Shield. - Earlier Mecool devices had trouble with WiFi, this at least feels stable overall. CONS: - As it's already known, Netflix is not available because it's not a certified device, though there are modified versions on the internet that can be used without problem. - Setting up the tuner the first time is not practical or straightforward, I had to learn by myself how to use it since the included manual doesn't have tuner setup instructions. - The tuner is not dual, which means, recording a channel while watching another in a frequency different than the one where recording takes place is NOT possible. - Timeshift is not ON by default while using the tuner, it needs to be turned ON manually but switching channels is NOT possible while it's ON. - Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and Master Audio are not supported, though some apps can decode them as multichannel PCM without loosing the lossless quality. - I wasn't able to use a microSD card I have, the device says it's not supported, but I believe it could be a bug in the OS, which I'm going to report as soon as possible. NOTE: The timeshift feature and recordings can't be made with the internal memory, an external USB thumb drive or hard drive is necessary. Overall I believe this is a cool device, it just needs some polish in a few aspects. Thank you Mecool! [link] [comments] |
| Mi Box S or Chromecast with Google TV (My Region: Asia) Posted: 17 May 2021 06:57 PM PDT I am looking to buy an android device. I dont care about streaming 4k content or HRD, Dolby etc. But the things I am looking for is to be able to use VPN for my streaming services and having a smooth experience (not having to deal with bugs). Also I want to choose a device which does not have limited features due to my region (I fear Chromecast might have that issue). [link] [comments] |

| Setting up a android tv for my grand parents to watch old shows Posted: 17 May 2021 05:14 PM PDT Hello, I'm trying to setup an android box that's really simple for my grandparents to use and watch their shows through a usb that i'll put the content into because they have no internet and are not connected to a server. Their tv is really old and doesn't contain a usb slot so that's not an option. I bought an x88pro10 however, it seems pretty slow throughout the menus and watching and loading the episodes i try to play on it through VLC player. I wanted to know if its the box that I bought or the usb that's bottle necking the process i'm using microcenter 32gb usbs just to try out the box and will buy a higher quality usb if it's required. Or if you guys have other ideas please do chime in i'm thankful for all suggestions [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 May 2021 12:40 PM PDT I'm having problems with some new file types (or codec?) and I'm not sure what the problem is, I played the same file from my PC and it works perfectly so I'm looking for any help I can get to find the culprit. My best guess is that the file has something new that's not compatible with the chip of the MiBox and the chip of the TV (new codec maybe?) because the TV's native player vÃa USB gives me the same result. Hardware: MiBox S and LG Oled B855 Symptoms: the screen starts to flicker and HDR does not activate at all, the same happens when I use the Mibox (Kodi and other payers) and the native player of the TV, but it does not happen when I use the PC (MPC). Here's a link to a sample of the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o3GXJEUnH4B_cBEZKEk7RNKcpKojpobs/view?usp=sharing Info about the video: Any help is appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 May 2021 06:58 PM PDT No, I'm not interested in setting up a plex server. No, I'm not interested in the 2015/2017 Nvidia Shield. Please be specific. "Mi Box" doesn't give me anything to go off of. Preferably a box that supports NTFS format so I can just clone this drive to an external. Anyone know of anything? I've checked the Bee-link GS King X. Sold out everywhere but ebay and it's a bit of a scalp. Anything under $200? [link] [comments] |
| Multichannel PCM is back on Android 10! �� Posted: 17 May 2021 06:35 PM PDT For those wondering why it was removed altogether on Android 9 (except in the Shield, of course 🙄), I can confirm that it's back on Android 10, so, if your old Android TV device with Android 9 gets updated to that version, you'll be able to enjoy it again.

| I would like to install a Sky News app on my Android TV device. Posted: 17 May 2021 01:49 PM PDT But the only Sky News app for Android I can find is for mobile devices. The Play Store says that it is not compatible with my device which is an Nvidia Shield running the Android TV OS. I was able to sideload a Sky News app for Android from either APKPure or Aptoide, but it's the app for mobile Android. Does anyone know if there is a Sky News APK out there somewhere that is compatible with my Shield? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Remote Control the Xiaomi Mi Box S Posted: 17 May 2021 12:24 PM PDT Recently I bought a Xiaomi Mi Box S for my parents. Sometimes they have issues with it and I would like to help them but sadly they live two hours away from me. Is there any way I can remotely take control of their Mi Box from my laptop? Something like Teamviewer but then actually being able to control it. [link] [comments] |
| Accessibility services turn off by themselves after reboot. Help Needed Posted: 17 May 2021 11:30 AM PDT I have a Mecool BB2 Pro Android TV box that's worked fine for the last few years. The problem is, starting a week ago the accessibility services I use turn off each time I reboot the device. Button Mapper and Bottom Quick Settings are the two that I use regularly, so I have to re-enable them manually. I haven't updated the software or firmware and have all power optimization settings turned off for those apps. Does anyone here know what could be causing this? [link] [comments] |
| Sony Android TV need OpenVPN Application based Split Tunneling w/ auto startup Posted: 17 May 2021 10:46 AM PDT Hello all I have a Sony X800h Android TV. So I need an application that I can use OpenVPN for an IPTV App called "ZaapTV" because some channels are not allowed in the US. I use ExpressVPN App and it has Application Based Split Tunneling to do this and it works. But the issue is that the ExpressVPN App does not connect to the VPN automatically when the TV Turns on. I would like to know of an App that can provide Application Based Split Tunneling and at the same time can connect to the VPN when the TV Turns on P.S I have also tried "OpenVPN for Android" but it does not have an application based split-tunneling Feature (unless anyone can teach me how to get that I would appreciate it) Thank you all!
