Do any apps hook into the search feature of AndroidTV? The only search results that show for me are from Google play. I have Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, Showtime Anywhere, etc and not of them are returned in search results. Am I missing a setting?

Is there a way to get Youtube app to work in background?

Hi folks, I am new to Android TV world and when I first set up my nvidia shield I had Youtube app that could work in background and it didn't re-start the app every time I ran it, instead it used to pause it in background.

Now the app updated to what it seems to be just a wrapper for youtube.com/tv and it cannot work in background any more. Also if I minimize it and run it again it will re-run the app instead of just unpause it.

Is there a way to get this app to work in the background?

Thanks!

Skystream 2 owners.... Does it work well with a NAS drive on the network?

I was about to finalize my purchase of an Nvidia Shield when I received a pm about the Skystream 2. I hadn't really even considered or even heard of this box but it seems like a very good option, perhaps even better than the Shield, based on reviews and opinions.... At least ease of setup.

I have read that the Skystream 2 has problems with Netflix at HD resolution or higher. Is this true? More importantly, does the Skystream 2 play video files from a NAS without issue?

Prime Video available for Android TV users

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient&hl=en

Though on my MiBox it's buggy. Often won't show indicator of the cursor position. Playback won't last more than a minute before FC.

Edit: to clarify, the link is for general Prime Video app on Playstore. It used to say not compatible with ATV but you can push the app to an ATV now.

Best media player for an android box? (other than Kodi and any of its knockoffs)

Kodi keeps crashing and stuttering when playing videos from USB source. Got sick of it and uninstalled that shit.

I just want a media player (with a library, if possible) that can play the files on a portable HDD.

Amazon Video (Mexico) on MiBox issue

Hi,

I'm in Mexico where Amazon video is available and the app on my andriod phone works with no issues. I just got a Mibox and sideloaded the Amazon video app, but when I try to login it won't accept my password.

Could it be that the TV app is hardcoded to only work with USA prime suscriptions?

Thanks.

Mi BOX and IPTV picture quality problem

Hello, Ive got my Mi Box today but unfortunatelly I have serious problem with quality of iptv streams. First tried Smart IPTV app its simple to use but streams drop frames in the fast motion scenes. Scrolling horizontally the news bars on the news channels is choopy and not fluid. This problem is not persist only when I use Perfect Player and use Native codec but in this case stream buffering every couple of seconds and watching is impossible. When I use Hardware or HW+ codec there is the same problem as in the Smart IPTV player- dropping frames and choopy scrolling bars chipped fonts etc. Anyone has solution for this? Im afraid I will have to return Mi Box because IPTV functionality is so important for me. :(

So How is Android TV on the Sony TVs?

I've got a bedroom TV that I'm looking to replace and it currently has a Mi Box connected to it (which I don't care for). I'm considering replacing it with a Sony TV with Android TV built in so I can do away with the Mi Box. I'm just curious what everyone's thoughts are. I'll only be using Plex and Netflix. Thanks.

Mi Box question

At the moment, my friend is at the US and he told me that he found a Mi Box selling at the store. But after searching a little bit, I found that some people are getting problems with 1080p TV's that only allow HDCP 1.(something). Is this true? Or it works fine to watch Netflix with a Mi Box on a 1080p TV with no 2.2 HDCP?
