So I just found out about the Reelgood beta for Android TV and it's exactly what I was looking for so that I don't have to pull up each individual steaming app to find something to watch. So I got all set up with that and linked my trakt, but now here is the issue, Reelgood shows the up-next shows but it doesn't sync with netflix, hulu, hbo etc. So let's just say I watched all of a show in Netflix, it still shows unwatched in ReelGood (even whenI clicked it through ReelGood) and I have to manually mark it is watched.

The trakt integration seems to be great for the watchlist, but I don't have anything on the android tv to sync what I watch with trakt. Is there something that can run in the background and sync with all the streaming apps that Reelgood plays on?

Hi guys, I was wondering if the Mi Box S is still a viable option regarding the sleep bug where everything gets laggy and you need to manually reset the device in order for it to stop lagging.

Dolby Atmos Via Android TV Nvidia Shield Device Connected to The Anker Soundbar Soundcore Infinity Pro with Dolby Atmos Built into the Soundbar Connected TO Hisense H8 55in Android TV OS With ULED UHD HDR + 10 and Dolby Vision !

Looking for Feedback on my set-up Choice ?

The problem that I'm having is the TV panel has Android built in but also has Dolby Vision support and HDR uLEd and hdr10.

However I'm not sure how compatible each component is!! to each other because I'm not sure if the features of the TV is only supported with the Android TV built into the TV software or can the full features of the TV be implemented with the Nvidia Shield hardware?

Looking for feedback on best approach to this? I also purchased UHD high-end HDMI cable so we should be good on all corners !

Do you think Dolby Vision would still work with the Nvidia Shield TV even though in video doesn't support it ?

As you can see I'm a bit confused because it doesn't seem like technology as well connected together like they used to be in the past if they were !

I have An Nvidia shield TV / Mi Box S and now the Hisense H8 tv with Android TV plus the Soundbar with dolby Vision.

Kind of glad I didn't get the Soundbar with Android TV built-in I definitely will be confused on how to connect things up. It's a weird world we live in when multiple devices support the same features and technology however they don't interconnect and we have to work to get them connected separately independently.

Again looking for feedback. This is going to be a general discussion not necessarily a question-and-answer type of thread so please just share your thoughts or knowledge or experience an experiences thank you.

Hi,

Need advice on which box I should I get. Iknow the shield is the top box atm but is the difference that significant as it is double the price?

Hi all,

I have a Philips TV and it has three options to output audio:

• Multi-Channel
• Multi-Channel Bypass
• Stereo Uncompressed

​

What's the difference between Multichannel and Multichannel Bypass? I've looked into their product manual and help menu but it doesn't explain that well

Thanks!

So I recently got it so I could have my side loaded apps on the Android TV home screen. But man do I hate how large the icons are. Especially when you're scrolling through them.

It seems like they're treated no different than videos. Completely blown up and taking up the whole screen when you select it. I want them small just like the apps on the home screen. Is that possible?

I know there are capture cards that you can use with software to record video and schedule but you need extra software or a PC.

I also have seen devices that capture HDMI video and record it to a USB HDD but they are all manual. Can't schedule recordings.

Since there is no IPTV software for Android with good recording capabilities yet. I was wondering if there is a device that will record any HDMI input, one that does not care about copyright or HDMI protection and will even work if you setup a schedule?

The Nvidia Shield has a built in recorder which works amazingly good but can't schedule. Basically I want something that will record whatever is happening on the screen even if the stream stops or freezes and that can be setup on a schedule

I just received an update to Android TV Oreo and with it the UI.

​

Now suddenly when I play a movie in Kodi it's lagging. Not heavily, but it doesn't matter which one and it's noticable.

​

Also the main menu (which sorry to be so harsh, but is a nightmare and shows, how Google just lacks in the User Interface department) feels more laggy than the previous one.

​

Am I the only one to experience this?

Hey r/AndroidTV,

I'm looking for a relatively cheap Google cerified (which supports Google Cast) Android TV which would ideally be capable of at least 1080p HEVC decoding, prefferably with sufficient I/O for external storage and audio and sufficient RAM for Kodi and maybe oldschool console emulation, that also ships to the EU at a reasonable price.

Any recommendations besides the Xiaomi Mi Box?

I have a Sony Android TV from 2017 or so and I can't seem to be able to transfer files to USB over wifi. I tried many different file managers, but none of them seems to be able to do it, there's always some error like "no permission" or something depending on file manager. I want to plug in two big USB sticks and just transfer files there straight from my macbook browser.

Anyone had similar problem and found a way around it?

I've been searching for a less expensive solution since I don't need 4k but haven't yet found one.

Things I'm looking for in the box to be compatible with

Ethernet Port

Netflix, HBO, prime at 1080p (or chromecast built in if it gives these)

Reelgood

Plex or Kodi

Ability to turn on my TV through my Google home.

Right now I can do all this with my Chromecast, but it seems to be having heating or wifi issues and I'm looking for a replacement
