So my Android TV is running TV 9,for the WiFi,accounts and storage it has its own settings app that they put in there,and the normal Android TV settings are no where to be found,even with Activity Launcher it says:Failed to open this,any way I can unblock it

I have a sony X90J TV for past 10 months and working mostly fine.

But recently when I am watching anything on any app, the system would crash all of a sudden and would load the whole UI again as seen in the picture.

This happens randomly, but lately more often than before.

I removed/disabled all the extra apps, cleared cache of some of the apps I use, but not sure what else to do.

Does anyone have idea what it could be.

I would love to be able to throw a small ATV device in my bag when I go on work trips. Hotel TVs are often shitty, locked to their hotel cable/sat system. But I think it usually is pretty easy to plug an HDMI cable in if I had a source with me.

Is this doable? Anyone do this much? I'm thinking the CCGTV HD at $20 might be a good option for this, but will it work on any wifi? I used to have an OG CC4k, which needed a long setup process every time the wifi was changed, and so it was kind of a pain and I didn't end up bringing it on trips with me.

Hello. My father is blind and has a huge music collection (5TB lossless music).

Currently I manage his collection with iTunes in a windows computer. Everything is ALAC. He has an Apple TV 3 connected by wifi in the living room. He can control the ATV easily with voiceover: he can search using only the original remote, and the music is streamed to the ATV by Apple home sharing. The ATV is connected to a DAC by Toshlink and/or using a HDMI to coaxial audio extractor.

Everything works fine, and the system is quite robust/reliable. But the ATV can only deliver 24bit (or 16, i am not sure) /48kHz, no matter if the file is 44,1, 48, 96 or 192kHz. -> I know this because the DAC screen always says 48kHz. The newest ATV has the same limitation.

I am looking for a device with coaxial (ideally) or toshlink or USB (to plug a USB to coaxial) able to deliver 24/192 kHz native + being easily controlled by someone blind using just the remote. I know I'll need something like Plex or Kodi or something similar in the server. But the software must be able to manage HD audio through all the process (not like the home sharing, that reduces from HD to 48kHz at some point).

I don't ever discard cloning the current library in a external disk and plug it directly to the device if it's the only way. But playing HD audio natively and having an simple interface with screen reading is a must. I discard a laptop: probably the best option, but way too complicated for him.

Music streaming services are discarded. He prefer to invest in hardware and keep his music forever rather than a monthly fee.

Any advice for the hardware + software?

TY in advance.

There's any adblock like the ones in pc for androidtv? I have chromecast with google tv

Now that DTV Stream app is made available to all android devices, is there anyway to have it set itself using the wifi location? I know that Roku, Fire, and apple devices allow for current location. Has anyone tried this out?

Hello,

I would like to get an Android TV Stick/Box because my TV is an LG with WebOS which is not really good. I will use it to sideload YouTube without ads, Stremio or Cloudstream and that's basically it. I just want these things to work and be fast. I think I would prefer a stick over a box so I can get a cleaner look on my living room but if a box is worth it more it's fine. My budget is 50-60€. I think maybe the Xiaomi Mi 4K Stick or the Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K or the Google Smart TV Chromecast 4K will do or a firestick 4K?

Thanks in advance.

Hello dear people!

I have the Strong Leap S1 Android TV Box. Is a great device, super fast, lots of ports, buuut:

Neither the Microsoft Edge browser nor the XBOX GamePass app, can be installed via sideloading. 😭 Everything else about apps runs wonderfully, only with the two I get the error message "...was not installed." 🤬

Have any of you had this before and know of a workaround? 🤔

Hello, I am using the translator to be able to write this. I recently purchased a TCL 4k TV, but when using apps like Star+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon, they all show 480p resolution and I can't change it since there is no option in settings. I know they run at that resolution, and I can't upload it either, even if I put the quality preset in the apps.

Youtube I can force 4k resolution and it looks great, but I can't watch ESPN on Star+ at more than 480p

I've always had the surround sound mode set to "Never" but I still have (the correct?) audio coming from the satellite speakers, so I've been trying to figure out what the setting enables.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

I have a problem on my new Chromecast with Google TV. The application (John Data Sync for John GBC/GBA emulator) needs access to the emulators folder but when i tap the assign button (to search for it) it does not open any file manager and shows this error: "You don't have an app that can do this".

I've tried multiple file managers, including Mixplorer, but it can't open any of them. I suspect the problem is that the OS doesn't have any file manager setted as default. It doesn't open any chooser and I have no idea how to set it. Maybe from adb?

I don't think it's a permission problem since the file managers do have access to the data folders when i open them. The problem is the other apps can't "launch" or even find them.

Any ideas?
Thank you.

I think fix is a stretch and this started as a joke because the box was basically useless after 30 minutes since the remote would be unresponsive. Had this sitting in my basement for 6 months doing nothing until a FireTV Stick 4K died in our guest room.

I popped it out of the case, and just put little stand offs all the way around. Then put it between the shell to keep it off the TV stand and from anyone touching hot parts.

Hilarious to me but totally solved the overheating with passive cooling.

Both 19.99?

Is there an app or way to watch TSN on Android TV? Thanks

Hello, any tutorial to imstall android tv launcher the old one instead of google tv, and disable it via wireless adb?

Last NBA season we didn't experience any problem with the NBA App on our Android TV. However for this season we can't watch any games at all because the app went missing and we can't redownload it from the Google Play Store because the app doesn't pop up when we search it. Does anyone know any fix for this? Thank you.

Hello all, it seems like this started occurring a month or so ago. I use "Account 1" for my main google TV account. I also use "Account 2" for my Youtube account.

When I opened the Youtube app, in the past it would just automatically put me in "Account 2," like I wanted.

Now, it puts me into "Account 1," when I open Youtube, and when I want to change accounts, it opens the google TV account switcher, instead of the youtube one, and makes me change the ENTIRE TV's account to "Account 2."

This creates significant annoyance because I now have to make 6 different clicks every time I open youtube, and I have to deal with the account switcher every time I turn on my TV. Any suggestions for how to fix? I have the accounts separated for a reason.

I am running Google TV on a TCL - 65" Class 5-Series (model Model:65S546)

Anybody know how to enable Apps Only mode on Android TV? I've got a Sony TV from a few years ago and recently made the mistake of letting it update which dropped me into the new UI which is just beyond frustrating. I've since factory reset my TV back to v8.0 and side-loaded my apps, but there's a few updates I'd like to get but I don't know that they'll be compatible.

rant

And ib4 'but Google recommendations!'. I have 4 apps, that's all I need, all I want. I don't need adverts for other services and I'm never going to rent anything from Google TV/Videos. And ib4 'but G needs to get paid to update', I'm a former Google Employee, I was there when they started introducing this UI by pushing it to users without their consent and I saw the internal comms that were focused more on 'how much more $$ we can make if we create advert space for our clients'. It was never about improving the user experience it was only about how much $$ they saw Roku and Apple making and they wanted a piece. I own my TV, I bought it because it performed a certain way and I don't much appreciate the bait and switch. If it was a chromestick/device that I could plugin/remove, fine, but this is BS.

And yes, I know, username checks out.

Does anybody have any experience with it or does anybody have any other suggestions for 55-65" TV in that payrange?
