No Volume Control

Hey guys, hoping someone here can help me as ive tried everything I can think of.

Updated my XBR-55X700D and now I am unable to control volume. The slider goes up and down but nothing changes. I can set to zero or mute and still hear sound.

I tried all the sound options, unplugging the tv and letting it rest, and a factory reset but no go.

Anyone have a miracle for me?

Few questions about Android TV

Hi, I would like to ask few questions, I have Mi Box S for few months now and it sometimes turns on by itself in the morning, TV and Mi Box has CEC enabled, so both are turned on. And I have a mouse wirelessly connected to it and when I move the mouse or press button on the mouse (e.g. while I clean my room) then Mi Box turns on. I can't turn off the mouse, it turns off itself after few minutes of inactivity. It is possible to prevent such things?

I found few archived posts about similar issues, but there was no answer that would solve the problem.

And, I have Puffin TV browser installed (I didn't found a better browser for Android TV, if you know, please let me know) where I watch videos on one website (no adult content, about cars) and they have videos on openload, but openload has own popup ads, but mostly for adults (I'm not sure if I can type p*rn here :) ), hardcore, you know, I can't play those videos when I have people around me. So is there any way how to block those kinds of ads? I don't have problem with popup ads, but why they have ads for adults?

Mi Box S to play 4K REMUX over ethernet, buffer issues in KODI.

It's all in the title. I'm using a MiBox S with a USB/ethernet adapter which i thought would allow me to play 4k remuxes (~60GB) over the ethernet with no buffer on Kodi. Turns out it buffers quiet a lot. I'm pretty much out of options here, and i'm considering trying to up the default cache in Kodi.

Any help is appreciated !

EDIT: Tried upping the cache, problem still here :/

EDIT2: Forgot to mention, the file is played locally through SMB protocol

EDIT3: On recomendation from u/pechius i tested the local speed connection with iperf, results are DOWN=58mbbps UP=154 ; Kinda weird results and to sure how to solve it :/ My adapter is the UGreen 1000mbps, seemed reccommended a lot for the Xiaomi Box

Those of you using the SHIELD for gamestream, how is it?

I mean overall, how responsive and lag-free is it? Should I expect an interface similar to Moonlight on my phone? How does the controller work, is it recognised as an Xbox controller in all games? Is aiming for 1080p 60fps unrealistic? Sorry for the onslaught of questions, just need to know if it will work flawlessly since it's the key reason I'm interested.

Android TV Branding

Good evening everyone,

I'm currently working on a graduation project.

I designed a product (which will NOT be marketed) on the network side that is quite powerful, and I'm pretty proud of it, but I have a part TV / Multimedia.

I would like to add to the Android TV launcher at the top right, the logo of my project.

I have no knowledge and I do not know how to do it.

A French internet service provider has already achieved this:

An Android TV developer could give me a little help? :)

Thanks

Is Android TV planning a better UI?

So I love Chromecast and Google home. Google assistant is great, imperfect but great I have a Pixel 2XL that I love

...but I hate the Android TV UI

Seeing as TVs are virtually all smart and connected to Netflix, plex, Hulu, etc these days. Why hasn't Google put more effort into the Android TV UI?

There is sooooo much potential there, but it's abysmal. I actually think the propriety TV UIs like Samsung's Tizen and Web OS are better... And Im usually a huge Google fan

Philips TV - black screen (but sound) on netflix & kodi

Ever since the latest android TV update for my Philips 43PUS6401 (says version 8.0.0 in settings) i've had an intermittent problem with both kodi and netflix not playing the video just sound, its usually fixed by rebooting the tv, but its pretty annoying. I can get round a reboot on kodi by turning off hardware acceleration, then the video appears, but the video isn't as smooth.

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or if my tv has a GPU fault or something

Wifi issues when I use my Mi Box S.

I have a Mi Box S, I use it with a projector. I connect my android tv by wifi to a TP-Link Router configured like Access Point. The wifi works fine all the time, but the problems come when I want to watch something in the Mi Box.
When I'm watching a YouTube video or a Netflix Tv Show, my wifi stops working in all of my devices. The ethernet works fine, it's only a wifi problem. This only happen with this device.
Does someone know why this is happening?

Mi box YouTube hdr

Has anyone had hdr working on mi box 4 or 3 or s?

Bought it because it supports vp9 profile 2. YouTube does not trigger hdr..has it ever?

Smartyoutubeapp works, but I like casting and it won't cast to that by default.

I know the shield does not do YouTube hdr. No vp9 profile 2. But thought the mi box did.

Not that there is much hdr content.

On another note, when casting to YouTube, I have no controls on the TV remote and have to use my phone.?! My TV allows both. Does the shield do the same?

Jetstream 4k Box / Better at 1080p?

I have my Jetstream 4k box connected to my Sharp 4k TV. Box detected resolution at 4k so it defaults to that setting. The only thing is that the clarity looks sharper at 1080p (no soft edges around lettering) then at the 4k setting. I have it switched to 1080p for now because it just looks better. Anyone else have that experience? Seems to me it should be the same or sharper at 4k then at 1080p.

MiBox Ethernet adapter question

Looking for some advice, I have a Xiomi MiBox 3 and I was looking to get the amazon Ethernet adapter and noticed both a 2.0 and 3.0 adapter.

I’m assuming the MiBox USB is 2.0?

Also if I have a 300 mbps connection can I get the full speed from a 2.0, what I’m reading is 2.0 can deliver up to 100mbps and 3.0 delivers 1000 mpbs.

So if that’s the case no matter what hard working the MiBox won’t get me my full internet speed?

PSA If you're getting strange Netflix errors / unable to play, sign out!

I was getting so frustrated with my MI Box (had it for around 3 years love it) because Netflix would keep giving me strange errors. I reset my Mibox and it would fix it for the day but the errors would pop up again. Frustrated, I reformatted my MI box thinking it would fix the issue. It did not. I went on Netflix support with my error and one of the solutions was to log out and log back in. The thing about my Netflix app was I never had to sign in, it had some kind of Google smart login and I could just click my email. I think that is what was causing errors! So anyways, I signed out and signed back in (manually not Google smart login) and no errors for a week so far!
