VPN causes TV to reboot

Upgraded my Bravia KDL65W850C to PKG3.865.0136PAA

Since then, any native AndroidTV VPN App (Tried Vyprvpn, Torguard) has this issue where if I put the TV to standby while still connected, the next time I turn it back on, it will cause the TV to do a full reboot.

If I do not connect to the VPN, or disconnect manually, then it remains working as normal.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Just updated my Sony Android TV, can no longer organize my apps

The main apps I use (Netflix, Hulu, FXNOW, Amazon Video) were moved up to the "Featured Apps" section and are no longer in the "Apps" section. I cannot move them back into the "Apps" section, and cannot re-order anything in the "Featured Section" Using a Sony 55XBR850C. Anyone have this issue since updating?

Which box for running 4k smoothly + media center + skype video calls?

I'm getting lost on my own here so thought I'd ask.

I'm looking for an Android TV Box which would handle the following smoothly:

  1. 4k playback @ 60hz (let's say Planet Earth II) as well as a laptop would(?). Performance is of course crucial - I'd hate to waste a good 4k tv on a crappy 4k player.

  2. Media center - Good interface for working with network drives (windows shares) connected to my router. Expandable storage is a plus.

  3. Skype Video - Being able to connect a good camera to it (and which one?) and have Skype Video calls work well with it.

Thanks!!

Sony TV and Google Home connection not working

I have a Sony 75XBR850C (2015 model). I have had NO success getting it to work with Google Home.
When I give it commands to play music or youtube on "TV", it says ok, but nothing is happening. When I give it commands to turn TV On or Off. It says it can't do that yet.

I watched videos on YouTube of people doing the above, but I've had no luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfnHTpS1StM

I'm on version 1.23 of the Google Cast on the Sony. I've also followed all the suggestions here as well: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/googlehome/OcgiCHo113k/TzI2zM1IBwAJ

This includes 1)removing update, reapplying update.
2)clearing cache and data 3)removing and relinking the TV

Any other suggestions or help?

MiBox - setup USB stick as Exodus download location

I have a 128gb USB stick formatted with Fat32. The MiBox can see the drive. I have 2 folders on the drive 'TV' and 'Movies'. I have Kodi installed on the MiBox along with Exodus. I have Exodus configured to store TV Shows in the 'TV' folder, and movies in the 'Movies' folder. Downloads in Exodus are enabled.

After downloading a file in Exodus it does not appear in Kodi file explorer (I cant find the file) on my USB drive.

What am I doing wrong?

Bought a 2nd Mi Box, how can I easily transfer settings/apps to the new one?

Is there an app or something out there that will let me backup/image the Mi Box and transfer that image over to a new Mi Box so that both are setup identically? Just looking for an easier/quicker way to have the Mi Box setup like my other one without having to manually do it. So all settings, installed apps etc. is what I want to be able to backup/transfer.

I know how to backup Kodi, so no need to mention how to do that.

Sharp AndroidTV and Logitech K400?

So I have a Sharp 50LE580X to be exact and wanted to know if the Logitech K400 would work with it, because I didn't get the "nice" remote and just the basic one which makes typing a real pain in the neck. If not the K400, then what's a guaranteed compatible keyboard+mouse combo?
