    Xiaomi TV refuses to connect to the play store

    Posted: 30 Apr 2022 04:41 AM PDT

    Hi, my friend's Xiaomi TV says that the internet is offline when trying to update/install apps. The internet is working on Netflix and YouTube. It also says that it has a google account, but when opening the account list, it's empty. What can I do?

    The Tv's running Android 9 and refuses to update.

    L2TP/PPTP VPN Client

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 11:21 PM PDT

    Is there anyway to connect to a L2TP/PPTP VPN from Android TV directly? I have seen some posts requesting the same earlier but couldn't find any useful options to achieve the same. Even though they are outdated, there are still some players(Especially local ISPs who offer OTT) who offer services on these VPN protocols.

    Is it possible with Android 9 on a Hisense to put Google TV on it and replace Android TV?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 04:53 PM PDT

    As the title says, is there any way to replace the entire OS of a smart TV to the new Google TV OS? My Hisense has the Android TV that looks like Google TV but isn't.

    I did discover that the only TV hardware related functions needed are Android Apps so they should transfer to the new OS easily. (Input picker is about all I can find that is required, rest I've already disabled)

    I really want profiles that's built into Google TV and a few other features (like recommendations from apps instead of the "channels" on the home page) but simply side loading the Google TV Home App and Google App doesn't work fully, even when the original Home app is disabled.

    Connecting to new network without factory resetting chromecast

    Posted: 30 Apr 2022 12:23 AM PDT

    Is there a way to connect to a new network without factory resetting a chromecast? I want to have one to travel with and use at hotels, accommodation, etc. without needing to factory reset and reinstall apps such as Netflix and Jellyfin.

    Are there other devices which can do this?

    I guess one solution is to bring a little travel router and have the Chromecast always be connected to that network.

    I'm guessing there isn't much to do to install non-default apps on an older Sony 4K HDR10 TV with Linux on it?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 01:04 PM PDT

    I recently found a Sony KD55X7055 and although it technically supports a rudimentary form of HDR. I find that my SDR content gets compromised when I get my Realme 4K stick to actually process HDR so I need to run it in SDR mode for the best quality across the board.

    On the TV I have apps for YouTube, Netflix and Prime Video. Seemingly impossible to install any more apps, I'm guessing there is no way to sideload apps to such an old TV but at least I can try and ask, right?

    How to enable VRR in Google tv or android 11 ( My TV is TCL C728)

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 06:17 PM PDT

    PS5 now supports VRR but it says my TV doesn't support it although it does. So I think it's disabled, but I can't find the VRR option so I can enable it? ( I found a video that shows how to enable it in android 9 I think, but after the last software update it's now Android 11 or Google tv and the option disappeared!

    Hisense android TV - The UI changed and then changed back

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 05:40 PM PDT

    Up until about last week, the UI was the same way. Search, home, discover and apps at the top, highlighted stuff under that and favorite apps, etc.

    Then one day it changed and seemed much snappier with the app icon to the left (i.e. Netflix, YouTube) and the content on the right side.

    Then today i just noticed that it has switched back to the older UI.

    I'm extremely confused about what happened.

    Was there an accidental push of a revamped android TV that got recalled?

    Am i a part of some kind of Beta program without realizing it?

    I checked the system update and it says i am at the most current.

    Thanks

    SmartTube Frame Drop

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 11:02 AM PDT

    I'm using SmartTube Next on a Nexus Player. Sometimes when I open it, it works flawlessly. Other times, it absolutely cannot play videos properly. I get massive drops in frame rate. Watching things like sports highlights becomes impossible. Audio is never an issue. Videos load fine, but the frame rate is abysmal. It seems to happen at random too. Some days it works perfectly fine.

    I know my wifi isn't the problem because the official YouTube app never has these issues, and I have very good internet. Any tips on how to fix this? Is it just because I'm using an OG Nexus Player or is there a setting change I can make? Any help is appreciated.

    Best remote that will work with a TCL r646

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 09:53 AM PDT

    Looking for suggestions on a remote that will work for a TCL R646. Unfortunately my toddler smashed the TV remote today and now it's time to get a new one. I did some searching and this seems to be the replacement. However, before I pull the trigger, I figured I'd check to see if there were any superior options worth getting instead.

    thanks!

    Phillips Smart TV 70PUS6504/12

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 06:59 AM PDT

    Recently i've tried to download an APK file which was a modified version of YouTube but without ads but everytime i try to download it from the browser it doesnt do anything. I've tried to put the APK file in a USB stick and then plug the stick to the Smart TV and the thing is that the TV only reads media files inside that stick. All in all, ive tried to look up for the app store but i cant find anythig except for the tv default apps.

    I would be grateful if someone could guide me on what do i need to do in order to download the APK file and to modify the youtube app in order to get rid of ads. Thank you!

    USB 3.0 formatted as internal storage doesn't show in File Explorer of Chromecast With Google TV

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 02:59 PM PDT

    I recently bought a Google ChromeCast with Google TV. I have a 128 GB USB 3.0 which I have formatted as Internal Storage to expand it and install new apps, but when I go to a file explorer (I have tried with x-plorer, file commander, solid explorer) this USB doesn't show, only the internal storage that comes with the CCwGTV. Can anyone tell me what to do?

    Where can I find the output specs on my Sony KD55X7055 with a Realme 4K stick?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 02:01 PM PDT

    I've been trying to get some sort of readout on my TV of what it's actually putting out. I can see the resolution but nothing else. When I load up a HDR10 clip on YouTube it doesn't say anywhere that it is in fact HDR10. My TV supports it, the Realme stick supports it on paper at least. So how do I get it to work and verify that it does?

    Edit: okay so I tried the YouTube player directly on the TV and that shows 2160p HDR as it should. I don't know the Realme stick doesn't. Any ideas?

    Edit2: I emailed Realme support and they told me to do a factory reset. So I did, still no HDR. Plus the added joy of reinstalling and logging in to all my apps again.

    How to remove the black bars in my Android TV via my Galaxy Phone to TV

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 06:43 PM PDT

    I have a 4K TCL Android TV and a Galaxy A52 phone. So far I didn't experience any problems when I mirrored my phone to TV via Google Home Chromecast. However, for last months, I cannot watch a video without my fullscreen rotated phone getting horribly arranged on my TV. When I cast my phone to TV after playing a video on a website (desktop mode and fullscreen mode).

    Massive black bars everywhere and the aspect ratio is horrible it's like I'm watching on a tablet. I've adjusted my TV's aspect ratio and Chromecast built-in settings, my phone included. However, I could not fix the problem. Please someone help me I'm gonna go nuts.

    Is there a list of must have apps for Android TV?

    Looking for a reboot app

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:52 AM PDT

    Hi, I am looking for a no thrills reboot app. So my kids and wife know what todo when Netflix, Youtube or the TV app is unresponsive. I have to restart the TV almost weekly, navigating to it is cumbersome with just a remote.

    I have a recent Philips model, can't make out whta version it's running but it's up-to-date. The "keep the powerbutton pressed" isn't working for Philips it seems.

    I have looked into this;
    - The developer tools commands aren't going to work, to complex for them.
    - The Nexus app with reboot option is no longer in the appstore.
    - Got the Power menu mapped on the record button with Button Mapper, but the menu doesn't work.
    - Google Home app has routines, but not for this specific function.
    - I saw some apps that only work on a rooted TV, I want to avoid that.
    - There is a scheduler app, but I don't want it scheduled.

    Why isn't there an app for this?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 07:06 PM PDT

    I am at my wits end on this. Kodi froze up on the box. Had been running 7.1.2. I setup a plex server on my NAS and it works fine to all devices but this box. If i leave it in mobile mode i can watch shows. if I switch it to tv mode then it crashes. It was suggest in the r/Plex subreddit to try updating the rom. Now Poison seems to no longer be an option. I have Tried aidan's roms for V8 and V9 for LPDDR3 and all seem to get stuck in a boot loop. Any ideas?

    Lagging of video media while playing from pendrive. Urgent help!

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 08:33 AM PDT

    I am using Mi Android {v9} TV, it's HD ready.

    I can even stream 2-4k HDR video from Yt without any problem but when I try to stream something offline like from pendrive which is of pretty decent quality like an anime of 1gb/ep "ex - [Kametsu] Tanaka-kun is Always Listless - 01 (BD 1080p Hi10 FLAC) [2DA60047].mkv", it stutters and lags alot, basically unwatchable, is there any fix for it or the reason why it's happening.

    Idk but some anime with similar size worked fine for me "[SubsPlease] Aharen-san wa Hakarenai - 04 (1080p) [A4EB0F27]" like this for 1.4gb, and also, it's same with movies.

    I thought the problem was with pendrive [16gb sandisk] in read and write speed but now I think it's not, bc when I try to play in laptop, it works fine, I was thinking to buy an ssd for TV but I'm not sure now.

    Also, if there's any way to stream torrent file solely on TV pls lemme know, thanks.
