    Split-screen local multiplayer games

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 08:10 AM PST

    Looking for recommendations on SPLIT-SCREEN local multiplayer games ie the screen split in half (50/50).

    I have a giant projector and my friends and I want to play simple local multiplayer games on it, and not fuss around with different mobile device screens.

    Any time I search for this, the results come up with MULTI-screen multiplayer games where each player has their own screen (whether online or offline).

    CLASSIC EXAMPLE: Tetris

    Another: SNES Mario Kart

    So far, searching games in Google TV the only thing I found that does split screen is a checkers game.

    Freebox Remote offers an alternative to the Google TV app's remote control feature

    Posted: 13 Dec 2021 06:27 PM PST

    Freebox Remote, an unofficial remote control app for Android TV set-top boxes from French ISP Free, can act as a universal Android TV remote if you set the model to Freebox Pop while scanning. The app was recently updated to support the new Android TV Remote protocol v2, which is what the Google TV app's remote uses. Unfortunately, the developer told me he hasn't gotten keyboard input to work yet with the new protocol. Keyboard input does work if your TV hasn't received the latest Android TV Remote Service update, which supports the V1 protocol.

    Since this app supports the v2 protocol, it should work with the Google Chromecast with Google TV as well, but I don't have one so I can't test it. I'm curious to know if it works!

    Here are some screenshots.

    You can download it for free from Google Play. There's a small IAP to remove ads and use widgets without restrictions.

    I have no affiliation with the developer. I'm just sharing a cool app that a friend of mine told me about.

    New AerialViews 0.99.1 update

    Posted: 13 Dec 2021 12:06 PM PST

    Hey there's a new update of AerialViews out on Github. I'm not the dev, I just like Apple TV screensavers on Android TV. Dev said they're eventually pushing this app to Play Store as well, for now you must sideload it.

    Button Mapper +FLauncher is great but goes to Google profile rather than apps

    Posted: 13 Dec 2021 07:08 PM PST

    I have installed Button Mapper and mapped the remote control's Home button to load FLauncher on my Sony A80J TV. This is nearly perfect except that my Google profile is opened and I have to exit it to get to Flauncher. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Is there any way to go straight to FLauncher apps with the Home button?

    I finally managed to get the latest version of CCWGTV APK on my TCL TV. Features available now are: movies and shows; these features were avaiaavailable for me (EU).

    How I got it done:

    1. Updated TV via local network. Got the system update from TCL website.
    2. Updated all apps (most importantly Google App).
    3. Installed CCWGTV December 2020 version (I encountered an issue instanlling the latest one directly).
    4. Unistalled the Android TV launcher.
    5. Updated the CCWGTV APK with December 2021 version.

    How it looks

    Edit: Title should've been "Install Google TV on TCL Android TV"

    Edit 2: TV is on Android 9

    Need game controller recommendation

    Posted: 13 Dec 2021 09:19 AM PST

    Usage:

    • To play simple games via Google TV (Chromecast)
    • To play emulated games on my PC (e.g. SNES or PS3 games) e.g. FIFA 14 on PS3.

    Ideally be able to play 2-4 controllers at once (parties) either on Chromecast or PC emulator

    If possible: A wireless controller that has the option to be WIRED with power (e.g. USB cable) so I have the option to use it without batteries

    Modern Xbox and PS controllers, although well-built with excellent ergonomics, seem too pricey/fancy/power-hungry. To use PS4 or PS5 controllers without the actual PS systems is overkill.

    I'm aware of 3rd-party brands and cheap products, but I'm willing to consider them.

    I'm a super casual gamer.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2021 03:14 AM PST

    Hi I recently got the the Nokia streaming box 8000 with the change to a new internet supplier and I am satisfied with the whole setup.

    The issue is the power adapter. It'a too chunky and the cable is too short to to hide it behind cable ducts.. it's just a mess.

    Does anybody know what kind of plug type this power adapter has? Or where I can get a longer cable?
