I already configured my VU+ on KODI, I see the channels list but nothing happens when I click a channel. Doesn't begin the stream.

I set the resolution to 2160p 60hz as it says in the display settings since it comes out of the box at 720p for some reason. While browsing Netflix it seems to be in a lower resolution than 4k. Is there a fix?

Has anyone experienced horrible battery life from the shield game controller? The shield doesn't even recognize it get more than a 50% charge (had it plugged in for a full day), and I have to recharge it daily, even with light duty use.

I have TCL iffalcon android tv which can play Netflix 1080p with hdr but youtube can’t play hdr is there any fix

Edit: Hdr now works on the smartyoutube app

So one thing I'd also like help with is a TV wall mount that can allow me to keep the TV up against the wall but also pull it out and face it at another angle. I live in a studio so this kind of utility would be huge for me.

• I'd love 240 herts or fps or whatever, I just want the image to really pop

• 4k

• Ability to wake the TV up with voice command? Is this a thing?

• Ability to completely use the TV as my google home device, but I'll be getting other home devices as well.

*Ability to wirelessly use it as a monitor (don't need this but it would be cool)

Is Sony Bravia the hot brand to go with?

I'm obviously a little ignorant here but I'd love any suggestions or help anyone has to offer. Sorry if this isn't an original request post, if there are others that answer most of my questions please direct me.

Thanks in advance for your time!

What emulators are you using and how are they working on the Mi Box.

Hi guys, I'm looking at hooking up a gaming controller to my 2018 Sony Bravia, 55X900F, but looks like I'm not gonna have any luck with a PS4 or XB1 controller. There apparently used to be a way to connect the PS4 controller which doesn't seem to be in the newer TVs.

Any suggestions for a good/cheap Bluetooth controller that would work on this TV? Or, ideally, any way to get my existing PS4/XB1 controllers hooked up?

Thanks heaps!

Is there a way to access advance settings like settings>applications>advance settings? I've been tweaking my tv now to find this "screen overlay" permission in app settings.

TL/DR: 2017 Sony's can turn on/off with Google Assistant now.

So I've had a 2017 Sony Android Tv for awhile now and the Google Assistant's On and Off would never work. Matter of fact, I almost bought a Chromecast Ultra at one point, mainly just to turn on the TV, but realized it wasn't worth the hassle.

Well, last night while I was lamenting maybe buying a Samsung TV as my new living room TV, as I like how I can turn it off remotely via it's app.. I just half jokingly asked my Pixel phone's Google Assistant to turn on my Sony TV (like I had a million times before).... and the TV turned on! Startled, I asked it to turn it off, and it went off. Dazed and confused at what I just witnessed.. I decided to try to turn it on again.. and it came on! At this point, I was picking my jaw up off the floor... as a dream had come true for me (Maybe a Christmas miracle?). Anyway, what never worked before, suddenly works. Don't know if it was just me, or everyone.

​

So.. it seems an update happened at some point that allows this to work and I just didn't notice. Hence the reminder. You may be surprised to find out what didn't work before.. suddenly works today. Always worth the attempt. I came very close to making a buying decision I would have probably regretted, had I not checked again.

Does anyone know websites where apks from Fire TV are posted? Some of the Android TV apps have been depreciated and I've gotten a few Fire TV apps to play nice with my Mi Box. I'm looking for HGTV and Food Network in particular.

This just showed up on my Nvidia Shield and I’ve got the urge to upgrade but my change for on Kodi 16 to 17 wasn’t the smoothest. I mainly use Kodi for addons (streaming TV shows and movies) but more so, I use the Arctic Zephyr skin and would be lost without it. I guess the questions are:

1. Does Arctic Zephyr work on Leia?
2. Are the mainstream addons working correctly?

Thanks for all the help

Hi people,

I’m currently trying to figure out the best/easiest solution / hardware-device which I want to buy for a few usecases I have:

1. I want to watch some streams on my TV (mostly snooker, sometimes English TV) which are provided from the 3 apps TVTap, Mobdro, LiveNetTV; which I normally use on my smartphone. Being able to watch those streams on my TV is the main usecase of this post.

2. I want to mirror my Android Smartphone (Mi Mix 2) and if possible my Windows computer as well. Mirroring the Android screen to TV is actually one possible solution to be able to watch the TVTap/Mobdro streams on my TV, but apart from that it’s still handy for showing pictures etc.

3. This is an optional feature but nice to have: Play games, if possible even Multiplayer (2 players). Would also buy 2 bluetooth controllers but not sure whether those could be connected simultaneously to the “host”-device, more details provided below. If would be AWESOME if there’d be an emulator for old SNES games to be able to play SNES or N64 Mario Kart etc… But tbh, this is rather a rare use-case.

As the 3 movie-apps mentioned above also run on my smartphone, my first idea was to buy a chromecast. It’s rather cheap, easy to use, not bloated and no need to maintain it whatsoever and would allow me to mirror my phone, hence to show the video being displayed on my Android smartphone in TVTap on my TV. Only bad thing about it would be: My smartphone display needs to be turned-on AND I cannot use my smartphone in parallel during the time of watching. I don’t know about playing games, whether it’s possible to pair two bluetooth controllers to my smartphone. Any clue whether this usecase could be solved at all here?

Second idea was to buy a fully-functional “Smart TV Box”, e.g. Xiaomi Mi Box4. I know it’s a bit more expensive and needs a bit more maintenance, but I was wondering whether it’s worth it w.r.t. the mentioned usecases. First of all, I’m not so sure whether it’s on the same scale of easiness to mirror my smartphone and windows computer to it, compared to chromecast? My main idea behind it was: Would it be possible to install TVTap, Mobdro, LiveNetTV directly on the Box? If yes, then it would be awesome because my smartphone would not be involved. Do you know whether Android TV supports installation of these 3rd party apks? And gaming could also be easier I suppose because the games would directly run on the box instead of being laggy because of the mirroring via WLAN!?   What do you think? Thanks a lot!

Can't really afford to spend the moola for the Sony Bravia Android so that leaves -

​

Westinghouse 43" 4K - Poor reviews? Customers not knowing how to adjust their TV?

Insignia 43" Fire Edition 1080p

​

I would buy two of them one to replace the tube 28" tv in the parent's living room and one for my bedroom.

​

Any thoughts?

I thought I saw a while ago that Google were fixing the Google Home cannot play Netflix on Android TV issue, but I still can't use GH to play Netflix on my TV. Just the usual "Try using your remote" response.

Been working on a FPS battle royale game for android tv aiming for a blackout vibe anybody wanna join? I have unity 2017, probuilder and UFPS :)

Will it work?

With nordvpn, connecting to a US server I can see us Netflix content on my mobile. The issue is my Samsung smart TV which I can't get VPN to. So I'm thinking to buy the Mi box, install nord VPN and Netflix and see content like this.

While I can see the US content on my phone, I can't stream it cause it sees the ip being outside the US, thus I can't stream it.

Thanks
