    Best 16GB box for under $100: 4K, native Netflix, Kodi compatible, Google Play

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 03:44 PM PST

    I've gone through too many boxes over the past 7-ish years looking forward a good one; the only one still working well was sold to my friend years ago. I'm raising my budget to around $100, and I hope there is still a BF deal out there (or Cyber Monday coming tomorrow) for a box with at least: •16 GB storage (8 GB keeps filling up) •4K output •Netflix, native in at least HD (if not 4K) •Kodi-compatible •Google Play compatible (I'm done with side-loading apps where the next update is always incompatible)

    Disney+ frame rate issues on Nvidia shield tv pro

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:57 PM PST

    When watching 24p content on the Disney+ app on my shield tv pro, I get an occasional stutter every so-many-seconds. I believe it has to do with how their app processes 24p content. It's almost like they're doing a 3:2 pulldown to convert the frame rate to 60hz, even though this shouldn't be necessary on a 120hz display. This doesn't happen when using the native Disney app on my TV, or when using other apps like netflix on the shield.

    Before anyone asks, I would prefer to use the shield because the picture quality overall is slightly better than using the app on the TV, but the frame rate stutter is very distracting.

    Anyone else experience this? Any word from Disney on updating their Android app so it can display their content at its appropriate frame rate?

    My setup for those interested:

    ❗ Shield tv pro network speed with VPN

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 12:43 PM PST

    Hi everyone

    What is the maximal speed you can reach on the shield tv pro? With and without VPN? I have a MiBox at this moment and I'm planning to buy the shield. I have a gigabit internet connection at home.

    How do I charge an Android tablet, and connect a USB to HDMI cable to it to connect it to a smart TV?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 04:43 PM PST

    I want to play what's on the screen of my tablet on the smart TV. I feel like there could be delay if I wireless cast to Roku or Chromecast with Google TV. To avoid this, I'm thinking of just connect the tablet to the TV with an HDMI cable, but how do I now charge the tablet, since this uses the only USB port on the tablet.

    Is there a thing that will let me charge the tablet and connect it to the TV with USB to HDMI cable?

    Android tv on rpi or fire stick?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 04:35 PM PST

    I'm looking to stream plex via direct play and if there is any transcoding, it will done on my server. And install some vpn app and normal apps like youtube, Netflix, disney....... I will be playing 4k atmos/1080p content (no transcoding on the rpi) (I have no issue installing android tv myself)

    What kind of problems am I going to face?

    I want to know have you guys had any trouble with it. I could buy fire stick but there is an app I really need which isn't possible to sideload on it.

    Raspberry pi 4 in my country is 70$ While firestick is 50$. And there is no option of android tv other than mi tv box which has a very bad review on amazon. :-( Nvidia shield was above the price I want.

    Would really appreciate the input.

    Cannot Sync new remote to Chromecast Google TV without old remote

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 04:18 PM PST

    I've lost my remote for my Chromecast with google TV. More specifically, my 1 year old daughter has stolen it and hidden it somewhere….again. This is the 3rd remote I've bought in the last few months($60 just on remotes!). Decided to buy a bigger one that would be harder to lose but now I can't get it set up without the old remote.

    I've tried 4 different Android TV apps. One doesn't find my device and the other 3 fail to connect - presumably because I need to turn this ADB whatever on/off but I can't do it without the remote.

    How can I get this new Bluetooth remote connected without any way to control the Google TV?

    Are the latest mecool devices Google certified with properly working Play Store, Netflix, and Prime Video?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 12:02 PM PST

    Title. Looking to get something faster than a mi box but not as expensive as a shield. The new amlogic processors are excellent. Thanks for the info!

    Chromecast built-in not working on Hisense TV

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 03:36 PM PST

    Bought this TV earlier this year with built-in Chromecast. It's never actually functioned and I feel like I must be missing something.

    Model name of the TV is HiSmartTV A4, version "9" (I'm guessing that means the Android version?) and software version is from March 2021. It claims this is up to date. Android security patch is from February 2021. It also claims this is up to date. Chromecast built-in is version 1.56.275391 though I also tried factory resetting that and it still didn't work (that gave version 1.44.xxxxxx)

    I wish I had any error codes to offer. The TV appears in the list of receivers when we try to cast the Oculus Quest 2, but it returns an "unknown error" that simply recommends restarting the receiver. Well, I have. I've also factory reset it 3x to no avail. Both devices are on the same wifi network. The Oculus was able to cast to my phone easily and immediately so it's not the issue. I've also tried to cast to the TV with other devices (my phone, laptop) and none have worked.

    The TV has been on the home screen while we've tried to cast to it and nothing has ever come up on screen to indicate it was trying to connect/be connected to by anything.

    I saw someone on here once mention another app called CastReceiver so I downloaded the trial for that to try and still received the same error and the same lack of acknowledgement from the TV.

    Am I missing something? Does the TV have some sort of firewall on it? Is there an app missing that needs to be installed?

    Any help is appreciated because I've hit a wall on what else to try. Googling hasn't helped- no one else seems to have this issue. Is the TV simply broken?

    MeCool KM2 for playing large 4K HDR media from an external drive?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 02:20 PM PST

    Hey! I was just diving into the world of Android TVs for the first time and I think I found a good fit, but I'm a bit confused as I saw mixed opinions, will the Mecool KM2 run a 40GB 4K HDR movie (maybe more sometimes) from an external SSD drive smoothly?

    I know the Sheild Pro is better but it's obviously much pricier so It's out of my list.

    Open youtube recommends in another application?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 01:26 PM PST

    Hi

    I'm using a Sony Bravia android tv and I have disabled the stock Youtube app and use the Smart Youtube app instead.

    My Recommended and subscribed content appear on the home screen but when I click on them it asks me to enable the stock youtube app.

    I was wondering if there is a way to open the links in my preferred application from the home screen?

    Thanks

    Need help with buying a tv

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 02:03 PM PST

    Hey guys, i plan to get a new TV and the one with ambilight. But the only ones with ambilight were Philips TVs so my question is which one of these is better: 43pus8106; 43pus7906; 43pus7805. Are they any good? My brother has one and he's complaining that they freeze and he needs to unplug it and plug again or it bugs.. does that happen? Any kind of help is welcome. Thanks
