Live Channels Apps?

Hello,

I just got a new Nexus player and I was wondering which apps support Live Channels. I currently have The Weather Network and Pluto TV working on it, albeit kinda sluggish.

Since Android Marshmallow 6.0 will bring mpeg-2 support to android TV, I am thinking of getting hdhomerun. I know that will support Live Channels.

Are there any other apps that integrate with Live Channels on Android TV?

RedZone to Android TV?

Hi there!

I'm trying to stream NFL RedZone from my phone, to my Android TV. I have a Verizon iPhone and Android that both have the NFL Network and RedZone.

I have Kodi installed on my Android TV, and AirPlay turned on, but nothing happens when I connect to it with the iPhone. It looks like that AirPlay feature isn't working as it won't play any music from the Music app either.

The Android device is a S5 and within the NFL Mobile app, it doesn't show the "Cast" icon.

Has anyone been able to successfully stream NFL RedZone from their phone, to their Android TV?

Thanks for your help!

OK Google - would like to voice this to a remote TV box

Hey folks I've got a question for the community.

A lot of android boxes now obviously run lollipop and beyond, and the Google search bar/voice search + OK Google can work throughout the OS.

Whatever box I end up getting (be it shield, NP or NP2 (if there is one)), id likely be controlling it with my phone primarily. (Because at the moment I'm thinking full android would be my choice).

So, what I'm trying to achieve... is be able to speak into my phone 'OK Google' and remotely trigger the voice search on the remote android box, and then continue by speaking my search query into the phone. Do you think this is achievable?

Because if I end up going with full android, I might not be using the NP or Shield remote controls.

Shield TV questions

I live in canada and i'm having an eye at the shield TV but buying it from amazon brings the price to 319$ after taxes/conversion and shipping, which is a bit high.

The main reason I want to switch is for the headjack on the controller and the hevc codec.

I currently use a bluetooth transmitter and a bluetooth headset to watch Movies/Shows on my cuboxi-4pro but the latency is killing me. I have to adjust it to 200ms every time in kodi, which makes it painful for nothing. How is the latency on the Controller and How is the sound quality?.

I don't want to pay 300$+ just to have the same "issue" with latency.

Also have kodi running on the shield, on my cuboxi-4pro. I would say it's ok but not stellar with some more demanding plugins

Thanks for your answers

Does Amazon Video Work On AndroidTV?

Amazon recently updated their app and now it works on my Nexus 9, unlike before when it was called Amazon Instant Video and the app wasn't compatible with Nexus 9s running Lollipop.

And I'm not talking about the Google Play version of Amazon Video. I'm taking about the Amazon Video app found on Amazon Underground.

If so, how's the UI and functionality?

Is TV with Android the same as AndroidTV?

I'm looking for TV to buy and I encountered this Philips model that has Android 5.0 onboard.

  • Does it mean it's the same functionality as AndroidTV or is something different?

  • Will I be able to install Kodi on it?

  • It says that there's possibility to extend memory via USB storage. Does it mean USB sticks or USB connected hard drives as well?

  • Do you think it's good buy or is it better to buy TV without this function and get standalone AndroidTV box?

Thanks in advance for all your thoughts.

Shield TV Extremely Laggy

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but my shield pro is very slow at times and many of my play store games crash. I questioned this to nvidias customer service in a chat recently and was asked if i recently installed anything new and was told to resync my controller for better performance. nothing has changed on my end and i hardly have anything installed. does anyone else have this problem or know if their are any known issues that would cause the system to slow down?
