    Walmart's Onn 4k media streamer is a beast and a value!

    Posted: 20 Jul 2021 10:18 PM PDT

    I struggled for days trying to get my Chromecast with Google TV to read files from my 8tb hard drive. I own the Paragon NTFS app, and well, it doesn't work because Google neglected to include the Storage Access Framework.

    So I heard good things about the Onn Streamer from Walmart... It's a cheap $30 for the 4k version, specs are remarkably similar to the Google variety.

    It uses micro USB rather than usb-c, and though not documented, it works perfect with an OTG USB hub with power passthrough!! Whoo!

    So I plug in my monster hard drive, planning to see if the SAF is supported and... No need.

    This thing can read GPT NTFS natively, out of the box! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

    This el-cheapo Android TV device is actually better than Google's pride and joy Chromecast with Google TV.

    If you don't have one, I highly recommend it. Kodi with a directly attached drive so far is SO much faster than Plex over Wi-Fi.

    I just received my new mecool km2 but got the european plug. Looking to purchase a US plug but want to make sure I get the right tip. I know it's a 12v 1a but can't find any information on the tip size or type. Any information or links to right product would be appreciated.

    Adding control for an old sound bar?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 07:02 AM PDT

    I've had FireTV Sticks on my previous tv's which could control external devices like my old Yamaha YST800 soundbar, but I just got a BEAUTIFUL 65" 4K Hisense, and cannot figure out if I can control my Soundbar with the remote.

    I do believe the Hisense remote is Bluetooth, but if it has IR as well, is it possible to program it to control the soundbar as well? I don't want to use multiple remotes if I can help it, and I don't want to (possibly?) lose functionality (HDR?) if I switch back to a FireTV stick...

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sony a80j and google assistant

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 05:27 AM PDT

    Hey all

    I recently got a sony a80j for my dad to enjoy some youtube, netflix, movies, shows etc. However what I am having trouble is using the google assistant. It works but it seems limited - i could say the crown and it would show the series, some youtube findings and results from the web browser. What I want to do however is to simply show the crown from netflix which is already installed and etc. I made it work by downloading google home on my phone and speaking to the assistant there like - play the crown on my tv. Any idea if I can make it work without the need for a phone so simply by speaking to the remote?

    Disney+ and Netflix missing from Child profile

    Posted: 20 Jul 2021 08:45 AM PDT

    I purchased a new GoogleTV Chromecast last week. I had Netflix and Disney+ on my son's profile the other day. Now since Monday it does not show up under installed apps on his profile. I can't figure out how to add it. It's on my profile as an installed app. What am I missing.

    Fuming at my new smart tv. Keep getting the following pop up from freeview play“oops that is an error! Unable to connect properly, sorry. Error code : FVP-300”

    Posted: 20 Jul 2021 07:52 PM PDT

    So I brought a new Bush 32 inch tv from Argos about a week ago and I was super anxious buying this tv as I've never brought anything this expensive before and was worried I was going to get a silly one and waste £200. However it happened. BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All4 etc have been working fine for first few days I got it. However recently the following error message in the title has appeared every time I open the apps since. I want help as I have no clue if I can even send the tv back, I had to completely damage the box as it was packaged so tightly I couldn't get into it without tearing it apart. Anyone got any advice? I've tried looking everywhere online for a solution but nothing has worked. I've factory reset the tv, tried updating it, everything that's out there and nothing has worked at all.

    I don't have an app that can do this? Do WHAT? I wasn't trying to do anything!

    Posted: 20 Jul 2021 09:35 PM PDT

    So, ever since connecting an external hard drive to my TCL BeyondTV5 and formatting it as device storage, I've been periodically getting alerts that "You don't have an app that can do this." It happens when using apps, when playing games, and even when I'm just on my PS3! Seriously, I could be dashing through the streets of Spagonia as Sonic and "You don't have an app that can do this" appears at the bottom! No hard interruption (though Android software and CEC functions tend to freeze for a few seconds just before the bubble appears) but very annoying! Any way to trace these messages?

    Setting up YouTube Kids on CCWGTV

    Posted: 20 Jul 2021 01:46 PM PDT

    I've been able to easily setup on many devices (LG TV / Sky Q / iPad etc) and login to my existing account on YouTube kids which automatically shows my two childrens' profiles

    On CCWGTV however it simply isn't possible, it just asks me to create a single account and set their age, so it has no history on blocked / allowed content etc.

    This seems so stupid that I must be doing something wrong - any ideas?

    Help? MDZ-16-AB Showing up as "once" and not "MIBOX3" in Windows, need to undo a silly mistake and downgrade to Android 8 again.

    Help? MDZ-16-AB Showing up as "once" and not "MIBOX3" in Windows, need to undo a silly mistake and downgrade to Android 8 again.

    Hi folks.

    Hoping someone might be able to help, though I've spent days reading every post I can find so I think I might be out of luck.

    I FOOLISHLY updated the firmware on my parents MiBox3 trying to fix a performance problem and now am hitting all kinds of problems and have definitely made it worse for them.

    The hifi receiver won't recognise it, the webcam no longer works on it, Youtube freezes now on occasion.

    I want to go back Android 8 if I can, and have read the downgrade instructions that tell you to use Amlogic burning tool - but no joy.

    https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mi-box-3-mdz-16-ab-downgrade-android-9-pie-to-android-8-oreo.4194075/

    https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=777248&st=52040#entry102390485

    I think I've narrowed the problem down to the fact that the device, rather than showing up per the instructions as MIBOX3, it shows up as "once".

    I've tried multiple leads, multiple laptops, I've tried shorting 2 pins inside when powering the thing on - every time it just shows up as "once" and until I can get around that, I wont be able to flash the Android 8 back onto it.

    If anyone has encountered this and managed to get past the issue, PLEASE let me know. Desperate here. Otherwise I will be buying them a new player.

    Thanks everyone.

    I get \"once\" here, not MIBOX3
