how do I play youtube apps videos in background ?
My Philips 4K Smart TV keeps saying it's connected to the router but no internet, as well as stops being accessible from Google Home.
Should bluetooth headphones reconnect automatically after the initial pairing on google tv?
Hide an App from Drawer
Plex, Shield TV, LG CX, and DTS
App won't side load on CCWGT
Philips PUS7304 glitching like mad - has the panel broken? Literally just outside of warranty. Does this no matter the source - Google Chromecast, Nintendo Switch etc. Tried changing from 60hz to 50hz on Chromecast which helped but it still did this, just less frequently...

So like the title says, my TV randomly seems to stop being accessible from Google Home control as well as suddenly saying it is connected to router with no internet. It says this, but at the same time can still stream Netflix, but no other apps. It clearly still has internet, but has just decided "fuck it".

Any suggestions how to fix this. It's conspicuous all these things happen at once.

Should bluetooth headphones reconnect automatically after the initial pairing on google tv?

I have a Sony KD-43X89J to which I paired Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. I was wondering if everytime I want to reconnect them, I need to go in settings -> bluetooth -> connect. Or if they should, once turned on, automatically connect to the tv. I'm pretty sure I once turned on both my tv and my headphones (no idea in which order or if it matters) and the headphones connected to the tv automatically without me needing to go into settings.

Hide an App from Drawer

Hey Guys,

can somebody tell me how i can hide a sideloaded app from app drawer, so its only accessable via settings. Is it possible through modding the manifest from the app? Which lines do i have to edit?

TY !

Plex, Shield TV, LG CX, and DTS

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 12:50 PM PST

I know this has been talked to death but I don't see any mention of this particular problem.

I have a barrel Shield TV, LG CX and Samsung Q950a sound bar configured like so:

Shileld TV -> LG CX -> Q950a via eARC.

The Shield TV audio settings only have Dolby selected, no DTS since the LG CX doesn't handle DTS or pass it through.

My understanding is that as long as DTS is turned off on the Shield TV any DTS audio should get transcoded to AAC 5.1 and sent through the TV then to soundbar through eARC.

This happens fine if I'm using the native LG WebOS Plex app. DTS sound is transcoded and plays.

With the Shield TV Plex app what I'm experiencing is that if on the TV I have All Settings -> Sound -> Additional Settings -> Digital Sound Out -> Auto the DTS audio is transcoded and played back fine. The problem is that Dolby TrueHD audio suffers from really bad drop-outs.

If the TV is set to All Settings -> Sound -> Additional Settings -> Digital Sound Out -> Passthrough Dolby TrueHD plays back flawlessly through the ShieldTV Plex app. BUT DTS is no longer transcoded and therefore doesn't play any audio track since doesn't handle it.

So it's almost like the Shield TV is still sending the audio to the TV as DTS and not transcoding even though I've told it the TV doesn't handle DTS in the Shield TV audio settings and should be transcoded.

And the TV isn't transcoding it unless All Settings -> Sound -> Additional Settings -> Digital Sound Out -> Auto. But then I get horrible drop-outs with TrueHD.

So:

TV Digital Audio Out set to Auto: Shield TV Plex DTS audio is transcoded and plays fine, terrible TrueHD dropouts

All Settings -> Sound -> Additional Settings -> Digital Sound Out -> Passthrough - Shield TV Plex TrueHD flawless, no audio for DTS tracks.

The LG WebOS Plex app transcodes DTS regardless (unfortunately I lose TrueHD as the CX doesn't do lossless audio).

It's not a BIG deal to switch back to the LG WebOS Plex client to play back DTS but it would be nice to get both DTS AND TrueHD working through the Shield TV Plex app.

I'm not sure if this is a Shield TV or LG CX limitation causing this.

Any suggestions or am I out of luck?
