Since the last update I can't access the home menu anymore, see also here.

Did anyone find a solution for this bug beside factory reset? I have spend a lot of time with picture optimization etc. etc. and I really want to avoid losing all settings. Thank you.

VP9 HDR videos played from Smart YT or any file explorer have colors washed out

Stock YT plays the HDR content well but any other attempt to play the same like in Smart YT leaves the picture washed out as it would look in a standard pc monitor. Do I need to install vp9 Codec or something similar from somewhere that will resolve this issue ?

Amazon Prime Video for STB streaming issues

Hello boys and girls. I've been browsing through this subreddit for some time but it seems I can't find a solution for my problem. Lots of folks here knows their stuff so I decided to ask. My last try to make this app work lol

STB I'm using is provided by my cable tv/internet/phone operator. Here are some specs:

Model | EON Smart Box

Year | 2018

Broadcast | DVB-C / IPTV / OTT

Manufacturer | KAONMEDIA

Code name | KSTB6020

Android TV | 8.0

CPU | Quad-core 1.6 GHz

GPU | Broadcom VideoCore V HW (V3D-520)

RAM | 2GB

Storage | 8GB

More specs here: LINK

I'm not connected on WiFi, but ethernet. DL speed is 150Mbps.

My problem: Movies and TV Shows lag. Almost every time. In very rare occasions everything works fine, and I've tried to figure out why with no luck (everything from bandwith to overheating lol). Trailers however, work fine...-_-

There is no app in Play Store, I've been trying so many apks I forgot the count (from newest to older).

Any clue?

Oh yes, the dudes from Amazon support didn't solve anything...

Install Android TV on Mi TV

I have one Mi TV 4A Pro which has PatchWall OS installed. It doesn't support Google Play Services and so it is not possible to install apps from Play Store. Hence there is no way to install NetFlix, Amazon Prime etc to the TV. Is it possible to install Android TV to this Mi TV ? There is no update from Xiaomi regarding the OS update and upgrading to latest version of the OS. If it is possible to install Android TV, how can this be done ? Please help.

TV not showing up my WiFi SSD

Just got my tv yesterday and installed today but unfortunately it doesn't show up my router's SSID. I tried switching it on and off several times. The distance between the router and tv is merely 20 ft with no walls or gigantic structures in between. I tried resetting my tv, restarting it before twice, no effect. All other devices in my home are receiving perfect signals. Attempting to reset my router now and reload the config file for it.

AndroidTV Device with full CEC?

Do any AndroidTV devices support full CEC where I can use my TV Remote to control the AndroidTV device? Every search I’ve done people are talking about using their AndroidTV remote to turn the TV on, but none that talk about using the TV’s remote to control the device. As a comparison or example, I have Kodi running through a Raspberry Pi and I can use my TV remote to surf through the different options and select the movies and TV shows I want to watch.

I have a 4K FireTV Stick and it can turn my TV on with the fire remote, but I still have to go grab my TV remote if I want to swap inputs to another device, or activate the sleep timer.

Basically I want to eliminate clutter if possible. Do any of the more expensive devices do what I’m asking about here?

About TCL Android TVs and Live Channels

Hello there!

I have a Mi Box in which my mother currently watches her country's local channels (using a.m3u list that I have curated and the TVirl app to load said list into the Mi Box Live Channels app)

I have been thinking about buying a TCL Android TV for her so she can watch both the cable channels that come through the coaxial cable and the channels loaded by the .m3u list.

What I wanted to know is if the TCL Android TVs use the same Google Live Channels app (or some clone that can accept the TV framework input from TVirl) so my mother could watch both the cable channels and the iptv ones using one single TV channels app.

Thanks

Edit: before anyone says that I should get the best TV for picture quality and a Shield, she's pretty tech illiterate and the requirements are to have an easy to access list of cable channels and the iptv ones, so can't use a Shield or Mi Box + HDHomerun because our cable still uses NTSC system and the HomeRuns only accept ATSC/ClearQAM, hence the need for a TV set.

How to Connect to Wifi with Sign-in Page?

How can I connect my AndroidTV to a wireless network that requires you to enter your credentials on a internet page before granting access? Android pops up a message prompting that a login is required and asks to continue in web browser, I think click yes and get the error message "you do not have an app for that".

Can I not just add apps to the homescreen?

I just hooked up a sony bravia, and I'm really struggling with the home screen.

So the top bar is like my shows and youtube recommendations, but also GAME recommendations

  1. How can I turn off things like Games\PlayMovies from there

The next bar is "Featured apps" which I googled and I guess is just some sony crap, it's 99% junk, but has Prime Video, Netflix, Plex on it... which I want.

  1. I found out how to kill this, but it removes the prime video, plex links (netflix is on the remote, not a dealbreaker

The THIRD bar though is just "Apps", so I would assume this is where my apps live... but it's just YouTube, PlayMusic\Games\Store. Then some sony android apps for local video\music and stuff. Worse though is "Control setup with amazin alexa"...not an alexa house, but is this just here forever?

  1. How can I get the stuff I want in here, and the other stuff out?

Thanks ANYONE for helping :)
