Cannot stream anything with Dolby Vision

I have Star+ and Disney+ as a subscription bonus on my phone plan, I tried streaming some Dolby Vision movies (Ford V Ferrari, Cruella, Avengers Endgame, etc) but it absolutely does not work on my TV, I tried deactivating arc, reinstalling the apps, changing from Wi-Fi to wired ethernet, nothing helps, I only got it to stream Cruella once, after that it never did anymore. Any idea what causes this?

4:3 aspect ratio on a CRT?

Hello! I have a Philco ATV11 TV-BOX and run it on an old CRT TV. But because the picture is made for 16:9 aspect ratio screens, it looks shrunk on that TV.

In the options I don't see a way to change the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. Do you know if there is a custom way to adjust the aspect ratio of the device in general? Thanks in advance!

How to: Watch the Free Roku Channel on Android TV (without Casting)

My goal is to be able watch the Roku Channel on Android TV without casting, in time for the Weird Al movie next month.

Don't have any Roku devices any longer, but have a Roku account (devices left with my wife). I can go to the URL https://therokuchannel.roku.com/ in my browser, login, and watch on my phone or PC.

The website appears picky with browsers. TvBro on Android TV generates a 403 error when I try log in and the web site also states the browser isn't supported.

Before I continue to sideload and experiment, does anyone have the Roku Channel viewable on their Android TV?

iPhone and AndroidTV

Did you know you can use your iPhone to control your AndroidTV setup?

I recently changed devices and was missing the ability to control my AndroidTV via my phone. Enter GoogleTV.

If you install GoogleTV on your iPhone, and put your phone on the same network as the AndroidTV, you can use the remote feature built into GoogleTV to control your AndroidTV. Win - Win!!

Why does GoogleTV feel slower on my TCL C825 in comparison with my C725?

Recently i've acquired two TCL televisions with GoogleTV, a C825 for my living room and a C725 for my bedroom.

The C825 felt alright in the first few hours, but then it became a bit slower, sometimes the home page is laggy and unresponsive, and Disney+ works only when it feels like.

The C725 arrived yesterday and the GoogleTV on there feels considerably smoother to operate, even after hours of usage.

Perhaps i should reset the C825 and try again?

CCWGTV (2020): How to stop assistant from yelling at me?

I have the 2020 Chromecast with Google TV. Ever since I bought it, I've been struggling with just one infuriating issue.

It yells at me whenever I search using Voice Search on the remote.

Every time I search something - say, "Open netflix" - the Assistant proceeds to say "OK! OPENING NETFLIX!" at nearly max volume. Much louder than whatever content is playing!

I want to disable the Assistant's voice, while still keeping Voice Search enabled.

The support conversations w/ Google always start with "please disable TalkBack" (it's not that) and proceed to "please set output to None under Assistant voice settings on your phone" (it's not that).

Then it ends with the support agent saying "I'm sorry, it looks like it's not possible to disable the Assistant's voice while using Voice Search. I recommend muting and un-muting the TV whenever you search. We will raise this with the product team."

Now, I saw the new CCWGTV HD announcement and thought perhaps Android TV 12 might have fixed it. Nope, same exact issue, same walk through with support.

Am I missing something? Is this just... not annoying for other folks?

Is Assistant silent for everyone else?

Walmart Onn 4K Android TV device: Ambient mode for Google Photos no longer working?

In the Google Home app, I have my Onn Android TV device set up to show one of my Google Photos albums in ambient mode. However, no matter what I set up in the Home app, the Onn's ambient mode stays locked to the Art Gallery.

On the Onn Android TV device itself, the screen saver is set to "Backdrop". Other possible choices here are "Turn screen off" and "Colors".

This used to work in the past for sure. Perhaps an issue introduced in a recent update?

Suggestions?

Onn 4k Player Wifi Issues

I have a Onn 4k player I just bought, and a TPLink AX3000 wifi 6 router. Everything else in the house connects to the router and runs excellent, except for the Onn player. It refuses to connect. I've tried just using a separate guest SSID with 2.4 then with 5ghz and that still didn't work. Only way I can get it internet access is to hotspot my phone. Anyone know of a way to fix this? I did update the device as soon as it connected to my phone so Onn should be on latest firmware.

CCWGTV 4K - loudness equalization/volume normalization/Dynamic Range Compression?

Hi All,

While this page says the CCWGTV has volume normalization, I was wondering how well is the volume normalization implemented? Anyone here has tested this well?

Here is the thing, I live in a small apartment with my family so ability to watch videos without disturbing others is the most important thing to me. Dynamic range makes this impossible.

I currently have a Fire TV 4k Max connected to my monitor with Edifier R1280DB speakers, while the Fire TV does have volume levelling, it still leaves a lot to be desired. It reduces dynamic range sure but I still have to fiddle with the volume between dialogues & background noise. Realtek Driver's loudness equalization on Windows works the best, I never have to fiddle with the volume, but I can't watch Prime Video or Disney+ in 4k in Windows as they have restricted this. 😌 (Netflix doesn't do this)

I wanted to test this feature in CCWGTV myself, but here in India there doesn't seem to be a returns policy, only replacement, so I don't want to spend the equivalent of $70 only to find out it sucks and be stuck with it. So can anyone comment on how good/bad this feature is in CCWGTV?

How well does the frame rate switching work on Android TV 12?

The auto frame rate switching seems like the main new feature of Android 12. Unfortunately, of all the reviews I read about the new Chromecast HD with Google TV nobody talks about it.

Those that have the new HD Chromecast with Android 12. How’s the frame rate switching? Is it supported in any of the big streaming apps? Does it have the same issues with 24p as the Fire Stick?

Having a 2.4ghz remote noticeably makes my device feel much quicker.

I have a relatively slow device to begin with so I didn't think it would make much of a difference but getting a 2.4ghz remote with a dongle has made navigating the menus so much better for me on my Realme 4K stick. The Bluetooth remote has better shortcuts and I keep using it for that but just regular scrolling is way better with a remote that has so much less lag due to Bluetooth generally sucking.

Google TV remote app never works, never finds my device

Doesn't matter what I do, it never finds the device on the network.

I've tried resetting the phone app, trying on a different phone, trying a different Android TV device, updating, etc.

Absolutely nothing works.

Does this the remote app use / require some specific router setting to work?

My Nvidia shield TV remote app works fine every time

Edit: Turned on IPV6 in my router. Had to reboot both the router and the modem twice for it to flush the system. Everything is working perfectly now.
