    Using the Android TV Bluetooth LE remotes with a PC?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 08:34 AM PDT

    The newer Android / Google TV remotes (based on g10, g20 reference design) use Bluetooth LE to communicate with the box (harder to figure this out that I expected...)

    The remotes will pair with an Android phone (after complaining that an app is required) and will allow navigation, back, home (didn't play much, just confirmed it worked)

    So next I paired it with a Windows 10 PC. It pairs (a little tricky as the pairing timeout on the remote is short), there are no errors, but it doesn't do anything.

    So - Google searching completely fails for me on this topic, just leading to irrelevant results.

    Any idea if there is means of making the remote work with Windows 10? Some kind of driver? Keymapping app?

    Also would be curious if there is a normal android app to fully support the remote (perhaps side loading the library used in Android TV?)

    Thanks!

    Google Play app games previews not working

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 06:07 PM PDT

    Hey,

    I own a Sony KD-43XE8004 tv and I decided today I'd have a look at the games via the Google play app, however when trying to preview the games all I get is a still image.

    The only way I've found around this (which isn't ideal) is to reset the app back to factory settings and then I can view the video if I watch it via YouTube (a pop-up comes up asking if I'd like to when I click on the preview)... once it updates though back to the latest Google Play app it goes back to not working. I've tried clearing the cache and data but this makes no difference.

    So my only solution is to revert the app to the factory settings and then turn off auto update.

    I have contacted Google, they've said it's not a problem from their end and to contact Sony.... I have a feeling though that if I do contact Sony they will say it's not their app and to contact Google.

    Anyway has anyone else had this issue or kmnow a better way around it? It's not a major issue, it's just an inconvenience more than anything that it doesn't work as it should.

    Thanks,

    Ellie

    Chromecast (google TV) randomly pausing

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 07:13 PM PDT

    Hi, so I think I discovered a new bug. While I'm watching YouTube within like every 5 minutes it randomly pauses the video for no reason. I'll update this post if I see this problem on any other apps

    Best android tv box under 100 ?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 11:59 AM PDT

    Thinking about Mi box, Chromecast or Fire Stick, despite youtubers not even mentioning Chromecast or Fire Stick, they usually only post the Mi Box as 2nd place after Nvidia Shield

    Should I avoid Android TV or am I reading opinions incorrectly?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 04:06 PM PDT

    Edit: Thank you all for the thoughtful input!

    I'm in the market for a TV and trying to get myself edjumacated these days. The sense I'm getting from skimming through the past few months of posts is that Android TV is a disastrous shit show full of ads and if you want to get rid of them, there's some major trade-off, as well as some performance issues with the actual apps. Are any other TV OS' better or is that just the current state of Smart TVs these days?

    I guess I also wonder because reading through reddit in general, negativity gets the most attention and floats to the top of threads.

    Thoughts? Apologies for my ignorance in advance.

    Android TV Power On Behavior - Hisense A6G

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 10:41 AM PDT

    When I power off the TV while in any app and come back to power on later, the TV tries to open back at the last place. It usually fails and gets stuck on the app load screen. (just press the home button to get it back)

    Has anyone found in the settings how to change this behavior, to always power on to the home screen?
