Confession - I really, really like Android TV Oreo

While I know lots of folks seem to dislike/hate it for technical reasons (like the Mibox) - I've been running Oreo on my Shield TV for about three weeks and I absolutely love it.

The dashboard has far more usability now - I love having my Plex and Netflix recommendations separated on their own ribbons. I feel like this interface is far more useful and usable.

Oreo is absolute hot garbage

You know, I had a good mood today, I was eating breakfast while watching youtube when suddenly in the middle of the video a pop up appeared saying "update is being installed".

I was like, "What update?". Looking at the situation now I should've pulled the plug back then to prevent it from updating, but is there even a way to disable these updates?

My favorite part about this is the fact that it didn't ask me if I want to install it or not. Yeah who the fuck cares about customers decision right? As long as we hold the monopoly at google, we could shove any shit down customers throats without their consent.

Nonetheless it updated to the worst interface I have ever seen, the new youtube design is even worse, so much worthless junk on the screen and my favorite part ADS!

I LOVE ADS! It's the sole reason why I watch youtube in the first place! At the beginning of each video there's a god damn ad on top of that there could be ones in the middle of the video and multiple of them!

In previous build I had on my mibox youtube was nice and clean, I made a mistake of updating it once to that god awful design but I could easily revert back. Why can't I revert back this wretched update?

Because they knew that people would fucking hate this shit and would want to downgrade. If you're going to fuck me this hard at least buy me dinner first.

I've seen many people having issues with wifi dropping and sound disappearing and that's just great isn't it?

As if now I've tried system resetting and all it does is reset back to oreo again, WONDERFUL! Then I tried downgrading to previous builds and none of them worked, resulting in an error.

In the end I just want to say - Fuck You, Google.

Mi Box - Downgrade from Oreo to MM

Hey guys. I was aware of Oreo bugs and chose to not update my box.

But today it updated it self while I was sleeping (how Google allow it upgrade an entire android version without user permission?).

So far, several issues as expected and I would like to know if someone tried this tutorial below or another one to downgrade back to MM.

HDCP 2.2 issues after Mibox Oreo update

Unfortunately I upgraded my Mibox to Oreo. It is connected to a Denon X1200W AVR which is then connected to an old TV. After the update, like others are experiencing, the AVR says that the TV is not HDCP 2.2 and I had to connect the Mibox directly to the TV. Should I believe that a fix is coming or is it fairy tale? Will Netflix work (with DD+) if I connect a HDMI splitter to strip the HDCP signal?

Audio (AAC playback) and Video (HDCP) issues after upgrading MiBox to Oreo

Last week I was excited to learn that there was finally an update to the MiBox, but after upgrading I now regret it.

My MiBox is hooked up to a projector (Optoma HD33) through my receiver (Denon AVR-X4300H), but the box will no longer output to my projector. I get an error saying " This content cannot be displayed because your TV does not support HDCP 2.2 ". It will only work when connected to my 4K TV. I thought it had to do with Netflix, so I disabled the app but it still won't work.

On the audio front, Kodi will no longer play files that have AAC audio (though files with AC3 audio work).

Both of these worked fine before the upgrade to Oreo. I looked into trying to go back to Marshmallow, and it's pretty involved, so I'd rather try and fix these issues before resorting to that. I also tried doing a factory reset on the MiBox but to no avail.

Has anyone else come across these issues and been able to fix them?

Remote app for Zoomtak

I've tried everything I could find to fix my dead zoomtak remote (for a while only the coloured buttons worked, and it would be good for a couple of days then dead for a couple - now it's just dead) so I've been trying to find a decent IR or wifi app (android). Sync is okay but the back/return button is greyed out and it's kind of a necessary one.

I will also accept fixes for the remote. There's certainly a chance I missed a couple.

...and yes - I've changed the batteries.

How to change launcher for Android TV? And recommendations

Hi, I have a Nvidia Shield Android TV which recently upgraded to the newest version of Android and Nvidia Experience.

I somehow don't like the new launcher that has become default as it doesn't have the same amount of glancable information as it used to. I mean, it is more granular now as it gives more details about particular apps which have the functionality.

Can someone suggest any good launcher? And how to make it default? I tried one but every time I hit the home button it goes to the default launcher (I couldn't find the relevant change default option in Settings as on smartphones).

Thanks!

Chromecast (Google Cast?) vs native Android TV apps

Hi everyone. I'm quite a bit confused about something and thought this would be the perfect place to ask about it. I have a Sony Android TV with built-in Chromecast. I typically use the native apps built into the TV (Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube). I am curious, though - what benefit would there be to me "casting" my video versus using the built-in apps (or installing an app if I am missing it from the TV)? Is it a convenience thing, or is there an additional benefit to casting that is not evident to me?
