    Android TV Looking for faster device than the 4K Amazon Fire Cube 2nd Gen

    Looking for faster device than the 4K Amazon Fire Cube 2nd Gen

    Posted: 15 Nov 2021 07:12 AM PST

    Hey everyone, new here so forgive me If I am in the wrong place. I have been using the 4K Amazon FireTV Cube Gen 2 (one upstairs and one downstairs) with Kodi 19.1 with Seren as my primary add-on of choice for TV and movies. I am also using Arctic Zephyr Reloaded at this time but have tried skins like Cosmic, Arctic Zephyr, and similar. I find that upon opening Kodi, no matter what skin, there is about 2 minutes of wait time for all the AutoWidget widgets to load and such. I experience no lag with playback but the interface usage is like a 3/5 in terms of smoothness and ease for mostly all skins with configured widgets. Loading universal searches and things takes about 1-2 min regardless of skin choice too. (obviously with my PC this is all nearly instant). I see for benchmarks that the Amazon Fire Cube 2nd gen and the Shield 2 are reeeeally close in performance.

    Is there any off brand device, recommendations for devices, or anything of the sort that you guys recommend for a smoother, faster user interface experience particularly for Kodi? Looking to keep it in the realm of a portable box/stick/device of the sort (laptop / desktop to go isn't as idea).

    Thanks.

    Best device for just Plex and YouTube?

    Posted: 15 Nov 2021 05:43 AM PST

    I have a Shield on my main TV that's great, but I want to add a TV and streaming device in front of my exercise bike. I will only use Plex and YouTube (Premium), at 1080p or less. Budget is $50, or hoping to keep it under $40 on Black Friday.

    Desires:

    • Good remote - voice assistant, a YT button and a button that can be programmed for Plex, remote with headphone jack is intriguing.
    • Home Screen - I want an ad free home screen that will give me decent suggestions from YT and Plex. I am willing to do some jailbreak type stuff for different launchers, as long as it's stable and I don't need to keep fixing it every couple months.
    • Responsive - as good as the Shield I would hope.

    Available devices:

    • Onn UHD - seems well rounded, how's the responsiveness?
    • Google TV - being Google makes me assume it's the king of this category, but is it?
    • Roku- I am intrigued by the remote with headphone jack, do any others have this? I also read Roku will be losing the YT app soon if they can't come to an agreement with Google
    • FireStick 4K - good for jailbreaking right? I have a minor preference for Google assistant to Alexa, do you get Google after jailbreaking?
    • Other - suggestions?

    Thank you for your help

    Android TV 12, ADT-3: 4K rendering and app compatibility

    Posted: 15 Nov 2021 08:26 AM PST

    Hello, I am looking for some help from ADT-3 owners and/or Android TV developers. Could you please check?

    Basically I'd like to get a Remote Desktop session in native 4K60 (SDR, no chroma subsampling) using Microsoft official RDP client. It looks like it is not possible on CCwGTV right now due to limitations of previous Android TV versions. Can you shed some light on this?

    My current findings and theories about this on Google forums: https://support.google.com/androidtv/thread/135516325/android-tv-12-4k-for-all-apps?hl=en

    Cannot find Talkback on Android TV 10

    Posted: 15 Nov 2021 08:16 AM PST

    I just purchased a Philips TV (model 50PUS7906/12) for my blind father, specifically for the Talkback feature on Android TV. I ordered it online, so I couldn't check, but my friend with an older model has that feature.

    I went through every menu for an hour and couldn't find the feature. Every guide tells me to go to the Accessibility menu, then the Captions or Talkback submenu, but I don't have those on my TV. I went to Play Store and installed the Android Accessibility Suite, which shows a screenshot of that menu, but it still doesn't appear on my TV.

    I'm thinking that this is an issue with Android TV 10 and that I should return the TV for an older model with Android TV 9. Does anyone have a better idea?

    My Disney+ app stopped working after the last update. When I search it on Google Play Store, it says "your device isn't compatible with this version."

    Questions about my Android TV

    Posted: 14 Nov 2021 07:07 PM PST

    OK, got this device a couple of days ago - but am running into several issues.

    1. Many apps not available on Android TV platform that are available for regular Android. e.g. Speedtest.net
    2. When I install apks for 'regular' android apps (e.g. speedtest.net) it thinks the DPI is wrong or something, and shows mostly a black screen with a little sliver of an image. I can't see where the buttons are etc.
    3. UK TV apps - sideloaded iPlayer, connected via VPN. It works, but picture is incredibly jerky. As if it is trying to play at the wrong framerate or something. The All 4 app is doing the same as the speedtest.net app and showing only a sliver. My5 seems to work fine. ITV Hub won't play content. - And yes, VPN is working (via wifi only, not ethernet).

    Aside from frustration #1, how can I deal with 2 & 3? Any thoughts?

    Would an Nvidia Shield Pro (also running Android 9 Pie) have these same issues?

    Blank screen when listening to YouTube music?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2021 08:22 PM PST

    I have a Google tv box connected to my bedroom tv. I would like to listen to music while sleeping but YouTube music always show me the album image. This creates too much light. If I close my tv, I lose my sound... What can I do to have some sort of screensaver started while listening to YouTube music?
