Full list of **Certified** Android TV devices here

The list exists, but seems to have been forgotten by most of the subscribers here, as shown by the posts in the last year.

This list is kindly curated by another redditor, but I don't remember their name, so if you're the author, kindly 'fess up and accept our gratitudes. :)

Edit: found the author! Thanks for the hard work /u/513!

The list started out as a Google Sheet, but now has a nice website too.

This site should really make the sidebar, as listing all these devices in the sidebar would be torture. MODS please.

The author also updates a twitter account with rumours. Check it out.

Not all details are updated, but I hope this helps subside the notion that we are just about the Shield and MiBox here. That is the ultimate list of certified AndroidTV devices for you.

Enjoy!

Edit: /u/KILLPREE and /u/tdweng seem to be the most recently active mods. please add this site in the sidebar.

Edit2: /u/mbm seems to be active too. Please can we have an update to the sidebar? Thanks.

Unbearable lag and slow GUI

Does it apply to all android TVs or is it just me?

Switching between home and TV channels takes 10 seconds. TV Guide takes half a minute to load. Even stuff like pressing the volume button -- the volume bar appears after 3-4 seconds...

I currently don't have any regular TV channels -- I'm only using the apps. Occasionally when I turn it on, Google streaming ads hijacks my TV and I end up pressing Home button for a minute or two trying to escape it...

I know the cache and factory reset tricks, but seriously this does not belong in a TV, and is not something you want to be doing in the long term.

Just in general deeply unsatisfying experience

MDZ-16-AB Oreo New Feature **DROID SETTINGS**

http://ibeam.me/droidsettings

When I first took a cursory look at the Oreo update on my MiBox MDZ-16-AB I was dismayed at the seeming lack of critical settings.

There is a new, important feature called Droid Settings that gives access to those missing settings. It appears on the home screen.

Here is a screen capture of the major elements that are covered under Droid Settings. Please note, my updated MiBox is currently connected to a 1080 res projector. Your options may differ based on your connected screen.

Google Home casting issues

Hi guys. Recently I've got a Mecool M8S Pro L TV box. Overall it works fine but the Chrome casting feature doesn't work properly. Google apps in my smartphone find the TV box but it connects and disconnects right after. Spotify works fine, as it was a Chrome cast, but for the rest of the apps (Netflix included) I had to sync them manually (I.e. With the pin code from Youtube), and enter the app before sync.

Anyone experiencing something like it?

P.s: I've already tried sync with the localization service on in my smartphone but nothing changes. I've also tried the Google remote keyboard via bluetooth but the TV doens't find it as well.

Mi box Oreo update!?!

Linking the thread. I'm waiting for it to be pushed, supposedly in a few days...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-stick--console-computers/amlogic/mi-box-3-mdz-16-ab-oreo-t3784019

Diving down the links in the XDA thread, at first blush it's a security patch (April 1, 2018) but the system version appears to be 8.0.0? Diving down a bit further, the file size is just 1.77mb? Not sure what the hell this is now.

Good luck to those brave souls that take the plunge.

Mibox 4k crash and extremely hot

So I was casting twitch from my note 8 to my mibox 4k for about an hour when all of a sudden It went to a pink screen then rebooted. I waited for it to come back on and started casting again. It crashed again but this time just froze the stream and started making a looping sound. I waited like 30 seconds for it to reboot but it never did. I got up to unplug it and it was scorching hot. I mean like blacktop on a sunny summer day hot. I don't have it on top of anything else and it's not tucked into any places it's litteraly just sitting on top of my dresssr. Has anyone else experienced this before? I haven't made any changes to the box and haven't flashed any beta ROMs. I'm honestly worried about plugging it back in. Not trying to burn my house down while I sleep.

Mi Box vs Television Volume

I can control the volume on both my Mi Box and my TV seperately. So what's the best way to control the volume? Put the Mi Box at full volume and actually control the volume with the TV, or put both at mid levels of volume?

Looking to stream 4k video from NAS to Sony x900e

I recently purchased a Sony 49x900e to jump into the 4k world. In the past, I have saved all video files to my Synology NAS and streamed from there for viewing purposes. I tried to download 4k movies so I could take advantage of the new TV. However, I haven't been able to find a way to get the files to open. Have any of you had success with this? Or does anyone have any ideas? Any input is appreciated.

EDIT: I tried a new 4k video file stored on my NAS, directly wired through my network to my TV. It opened with VLC player. That seems to at least work for now. Thank you all for your ideas and assistance. I at least have multiple options to try if VLC doesn't work all the time.

Is it possible to stream the TV screen to your PC?

Sometimes I want to watch TV on my PC monitor.

  1. Is it possible on a TV with integrated AndroidTV (with an app or something)?

  2. Is it possible on a regular dumb TV (without an AndroidTV box)?

Thanks for your help! :)

Mecool M8S Pro W initial thoughts

Yesterday my m8s pro W came in the mail. It's an AmLogic box running real Android TV. I finally finished setting it up and have some thoughts.

The Shield TV was in our room before and got relegated to the main TV as the kids game on it often. We used three apps primarily:

1) Netflix 2) Xfinity Stream (modded from xda-developers) 3) MX Player

No issues with any of them. However, I found that there is no Bluetooth, so the wireless Trackpad I used for the mouse did not work. But I plugged in a mouse, so that was that.

It's pretty gutless and the remote has a bit of a delay for all functions. If you use the voice remote, it will cut off the first second or so of what you say. Also you have to press the voice button to make it active, so aside from Assistant, I haven't been able to use it for anything.

I found it for thirty bucks for the 2/16GB version with voice remote. It's totally worth it, but it is slow compared to the Shield TV.

android tv apps from different regions on same device?

I'm about to get a new Sony Bravia which will be the first time with with android tv.

I'm curious how android tv deals with app from different countries/regions. Can you just use your regular Google Play account and download apps from out of market apps like, say, the BBC iPlayer? And use them alongside apps from the US like Hulu?

Are there dedicated android tv apps - or do apps you've already downloaded on your android phone also automatically show up in your library on the tv?

Sony XBR-930 + Google Assistant?

I got my TV set up but when I do a "Google play stranger things on Netflix" Google Home it says "Ok playing stranger things on Netflix", but then comes back and states that "Sorry Can't play Netflix on Android TV."

Other than using Alexa to turn the TV OFF/ON, is there any other way to use your voice for searching channels to play, its part of the reason why I bought the 930E in the first place.

Apps that support 4K/ HDR on Sony X900E?

Doing some research before my unit arrives, but I haven’t been able to find a good list of native apps for Android TV that will support 4K or HDR.

I’d like to plan on how to cover the gaps with other devices for apps like Vudu that won’t play 4K via the Android TV app. Can anyone speak from experience or know if a list compiled somewhere?
