Pluto TV Live Channels EPG bug?

I don't see anyone report this but it happens to me all the time now... Live Channels app is always losing connection to the Pluto EPG... I have to reload it from channel sources, everyday.

Anyone has a fix for this?

TV will recognize some USB drives but not others

All drives I've tried are formatted as FAT32. Some are recognized by the TV, others are not.

  • Drives 4GB or smaller seem to be recognized and work fine
  • It seems that anything bigger than 4GB will not be recognized.
  • With a drive that doesn't work, if I go into Storate & Reset, it shows the drive as a "generic" drive and says that the drive has been safely ejected, almost as if it mounts it and ejects it immediately, and no apps (Video or Kodi) can see content.

I'm guessing that it's because it's not mounting or leaving it mounted, but this again only appears to happen on drives larger than 4GB.

Does anybody know what's going on with this? I've found some posts where others have reported the same issue, but never with a solution or explanation.

Best place to complain about forced Google ads?

I've seen people suggest leaving a review for Android TV Core Services and calling Google directly (without mentioning a phone number). Has anyone found a good way to send feedback? Google crossed a red line by forcing ads onto hardware people already paid for - in some cases $2000+ for - and they need to be made aware of what a serious mistake this is. The fact that providing feedback is so opaque a process is yet another reason to distrust them.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

UPDATE (11:35): I've found what appears to be an appropriate place: https://support.google.com/androidtv/troubleshooter/6125081, click on "Contact Us" in the upper-right corner, then request a phone call. Unlike the previous link, this is a general Android TV line, and they promised to send my feedback onward. Will update with any further info (like a place to send written feedback instead).

Note that if you're on mobile, the Contact Us option may not appear, so request the desktop version or use a laptop/desktop and look in the upper-right corner.

Roku vs WebOS?

Deciding whether to get an LG with WebOS or a TV with built in Roku. There is one app that I really want on Roku and not sure if the Lg webOS have it. Does the WebOS have some list of apps somewhere like Roku? I’ve been googling but couldn’t find any. If there’s anybody here that owns an LG with WebOS, I’d really like to know if you can get TFC.tv app from the store.

Sony, the ads are one thing, but why is the experience not unified?

So, I have 2 Sony XBRxxX900e TVs, one is a 55 and one is a 65, I’ve loved these TVs for a little over a year and a half. I also have a pihole on my network.

About 6 months ago the 65 got the latest update that changed the UI for (in my opinion) the better. Now the latest update added the ad bar which when pihole intercepts those makes “home” take forever and a damn day to load which pisses me off... but...

I still don’t have the same update on the 55, why? I’ve manually checked for updates multiple times. Why would 2tvs in the same line not have the same ui? Now the 55 (which is in my office) loads muuuuch faster than the 65 because the damn ads are loaded after the ui.

Anyone have thoughts (other than “damn ads”)?

Steam issues

So inside the GeForce now app I am using steam. I use to be able to go to my library and download games and start them. Now everytime I click download it starts for a split second and then pauses the download. I assume it needs to update something on steam side first but I don't know what to do? I updated GeForce now. I cleared cache for Nvidia GeForce now but can not get a game.to download so I can play it. Any ideas?

Google, are you serious right now? Advertisements on the home screen?

Man, screw this. I'm so done with Google and their piss-poor treatment of Android as an ecosystem. They failed at tablets, are hanging by threads in Android Wear/Wear OS, failed with project Treble, Android Things, Android One, Go, etc, and now ads on Android TV.

Google needs to get its fucking shit together, for real. It's 2019, and they STILL struggle to get BASIC THINGS DONE like polishing Android, getting updates on time, etc. The very fact that they're teasing Android Q and the overwhelming majority are on Oreo still is damning as a company. Their lack of commitment to a system and sense of organization is fucking tiring already. And yet, with all of these problems, they throw in ads on their already dwindling Android TV user base. I'm so done.

Mibox 3 doesn't work

I cannot watch anything on my mibox 3, Netflix, YouTube, twitch, crunchyroll, nothing, everything is super laggy and sometimes doesn't even load, aside from that every action that I make on the mibox is laggy too, like using a old computer, but that is OK, if I could use it, which isn't the case. My internet is really good, 120mbps, so that isn't the problem, everything else works but the mibox. What can I do? Help me guys.

Say NO aloud. NO ADS! NO Promotional Content for the device you pay. They harvest your data and make money constantly. They say they give you free services in return. No ads to living room. It's not a bug it's a feature. Samsung did it, Vizio did it. Say NO. It's not a matter of fanboyism.

Just conplained to google about their new ads and i think you all should do the same

I contacted Google directly about their Android TV ads that are starting to appear on our devices and I think we should all voice our opinions as well. I was on the phone for maybe 5 minutes if that just to let them know how I was unhappy with them as a customer. I have an Android TV that I have spent over $1K on for THEIR OS. I have already given the company plenty of money from devices and services with Google but what I didn't sign up for was ads that I have to see Everytime I use my TV. They have gotten enough money from me and these ads are completely ruining my Android experience... What's next, my Android phone will start having sponsored ads too? Nahhhh!! Not happy!!

Before getting off the phone the employee did state that they have escalated this to the Android TV management team but I feel as if we don't get our point across that nothing will actually be done.

Is this working in mibox or shield?

Hey this is (was!) a great app for androidTV users, was working just fine till just last month.

I sideloaded it as it's not officially launched but i can see 2 reviews on play store, one from a shield user. My request is (especially from people outside India, USA most prob) can you check if this is showing as compatible with your androidTV devices? If yes, then can you also install it and send the apk if the version is above 1.0.4?

Thanks and regards.
