I've been looking around to find if anyone has been having the same flickering issue as they were with the Vizio but couldn't find any for LG. Was curious if anyone here has had a problem or if it's being fixed like the Vizio. I've submitted feedback about it to Nvidia.

Hey. Ever since the recent update to the Live Channels app, it won't let me exit back to the leanback launcher screen. Circle doesn't work, neither does the back button. It's like it almost gets back there then launches the app again. Anyone else having this problem?

As title says, I have a Sharp tv with built in android tv. I also recently picked up a chromecast audio unit that is connected to speakers across the room. I can cast from my phone to the tv and the chromecast audio just fine, but is it possible to cast the audio from the tv to the speakers?

I'm looking through the Play Store for more games that I can install on my Nvidia Shield, since friends and family and I all like to play games on the thing. I've come across so many apps that have controller support and are fully navigable with a controller, and some that even have controller button prompts and instructions in their app. With all that, you technically just have to mark your app as Android TV compatible, throw on some nice artwork and bam — now you support Android TV.

Yet, there are so many apps that don't do this. Notably missing is Punch Club, which was launched just a few weeks ago. Shovel Knight and Surgeon Simulator are two other notable ones. LIMBO is a big one, although they claim their reason for not giving LIMBO any sort of love is because they're focusing all of their attention on their new title INSIDE for XB1.

Then you have your apps that work perfectly fine with Android TV, are able to be installed to Android TV through the web version of the Play Store, they even show up on Leanback launcher, yet they don't show up in the Play Store on Android TV. Alto's Adventure does exactly this (beautiful game though!). As a bonus its also fully playable with the regular remotes for Android TV.

I just feel there are so many titles that could be on Android TV and aren't. It's such a good platform and the only thing it's missing is the apps to really support it. It's slowly picking up, but it could be so much better.

Hi have anyone else been able to wake the nexus player by dobble staping home?

I can't seem to even find a support page relevant to this...

I was at work and my roommate wanted to use the Nexus Player(which is under my account). He first played music directly from the Play Music app, but then realized once it stopped him that I was using it too(Only one device per account). So he switched to streaming from his account, but at some point it switched back over to using my account, which paused my music at work again.

We really need multi-user support on Android TV. We keep separate accounts so we have separate music libraries, and being able to access each of our youtube accounts would be great too.

I use my Shield mainly for media like Netflix, Hulu, etc and I use a receiver as well for sound. I have no way to use the tv sleep timer when I go to doze off, and it's really annoying to pass out and run through 6 shows I didn't watch. Would anyone else think a global sleep timer in the OS would be super helpful? Trying to drum up support for an enhancement request.

Hi,

Anyone know how I unpair/remove the dual shock controller from pairing with my Sony TV everytime it connects? I want to use it with my Shield TV, but it always conflicts.

Many thanks

Hi,

I've been having Netflix quality issues because some silly conflict between my ISP and Netflix.

Another user having the same issue advised me recently to try changing the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size as this might really do the job as a temporary fix.

Is there any way to do that on the Shield TV, maybe using a third party app? I wasn't able to do it on my router either (Technicolor TC7200).

Thanks.

Does anyone have suggestions for apps to play music stored on a CIFS share?

I've installed VLC for AndroidTV, but there's no option to add network shares under settings -> directories, and the network option just says "directory is empty".

The Google Play store has plenty of apps for streaming Pandora/Spotify/etc, but nothing to play music from local file shares.

I left the first Chromecast I purchased in a hotel room during a stay this weekend. I e-mailed the hotel, but I doubt it will be of any help. With coast of the Nexus Player down to $50 I'm contemplating on getting it instead of another Chromecast. I sometimes see mixed feelings about the Player in other threads, especially from those who own both it and a Shield. Which would you pick at this point?

I've just moved house, plugged my Sony Android TV back in and it's stuck on a Welcome screen loop of choose language > choose wifi > choose language > choose wifi, never progressing to the Google sign in screen. I've unplugged it from the wall a couple of times for a minute and I'm still stuck. Wondering if there's a way to boot into a safe mode or recovery mode?

Until recently I was using a 6+ year old basic onkyo receiver. Everything was working fine with my shield. 5.1 surround sound and 1080p output (All my tv supports). It died 2 weeks ago and I decided to replace it with a new receiver.

I went with a Denon AVR-X1200W which just arrived. Only with the new receiver the shield only seems to be outputting in stereo from all sources. Is the shield and hdmi cable that comes with it fully hdmi 2.2 compliant? Its frustrating that a new higher end receiver is giving less performance than an old cheap receiver. My first suspect is the hdmi cable but wondering if anyone else has any ideas.

Thank you.

Hello,

I am writing this because I seem to have run into a wall where I can't seemingly find a solution to my problem. I recently bought a 4k television and have been using it over the past few weeks to gamestream games from my desktop to the TV over 4K and to also watch netflix in 4K. Tonight when I was going to watch a show I noticed that the Ultra HD category disappeared from my netflix lineup. I went into the settings and under HDMI I noticed the highest possible resolution output was 1080p60hz and not the 4k60hz it has been over the past few weeks. I can't think of anything I could have done to change this as it was working as of last night and the only thing I can remember doing is turning the device on and then off. Any input to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Also if this is any help I am using a Samsung JS700 TV connected to a Denon AVR X3100W receiver which is then connected to the Android Shield TV.

Is there a way to use my Bravia as a second monitor for my MacBook without using cables?

I'm thinking about just using my Nexus Player with my TV as it would be a better experience, but the only downside is that is does not output 4K content, so I suppose I could just use the built in applications for 4K content or just rely on upscaling. How many of you do this? I have a Samsung UN55HU6840 (I believe that is the correct model), it's a 2014 model so it doesn't even have Tizen.

EDIT: Is there a way to use Amazon Video on it?

I have a Sony tv with Android TV and a Chromecast. What is the easiest way to watch the videos I have on my laptop (with subtitles) by browsing the files on the tv itself? I've installed Kodi on Android TV and tried connecting using SMB but can't seem to login even though I use my Windows login and password (as is stated on the Kodi wiki).

Is there not a simple way like click connect with an app on the tv, a prompt opens on the laptop on which you just need to click OK and everything is synced?
