Love the universal remote functionality, but wondering if there's any way anyone had found to set the power button to control two devices? I.e. turn on the receiver AND the TV?

Does the Live Channels app works as in previous models or is it "hidden" in menus or behind voice command as I've read elsewhere?

If you set up 1 of these on one tv and set up another one on second tv using the same google ID, will all the apps, watchlist, etc automatically load up? Or would you have to do everything again on second device?

I just hooked it up and the menu colors are all washed out. When I switch off match content source the menu looks good but all the HDR content is washed out. Anyone know the fix?

​

Never mind I rebooted the TV and now it's happy. Isn't technology great lol

Is there any workaround to make the Kodi's library be shown on any recommendation tabs of google tv ?

That would be great if we could use the library integration tool installed of kodi applied on google TV( any movie/TV show available on the Addons would shown up on the recommendations .. ☺

If anyone has the knowledge how to do this, pleaseeeeee share with us 🤗

Huge Google everything fan so I was quick to replace Roku with Google TV BUT Two things 1) I want to be able to configure the home screen. Just want apps at the top of screen. Now 100% of the time I first turn on, I have to click to scroll down to Netflix and launch app past all the bloat at top 2) Can't switch to another family account on YouTube TV without signing out and back in to another account. On my Roku YTV app, I could just switch accounts from the profile icon. This is critical to figure out.

• By default, everything is in HDR. If you want SDR to display in SDR, you have to enable "Match content dynamic range" in Settings.

• Play Store is gone and replaced with an Apps tab.

• Neither fuboTV nor Plex appear in the Live tab. Appears to only work with YouTubeTV

• Against my LG TV, Power button is controlled over HDMI-CEC. Volume is IR-based. Input switches my HDMI to Google TV, but doesn't tell my TV to switch to anything else.

• My LG TV auto-detects it as "Apple".

Is this likely to outperform the built in Android TV on my Sony XF8700 series TV? The TV handles most things well, but can be a bit sluggish at times or stutter when watching 4k Remuxes

I know you can remap between normal Youtube and TV Youtube, but can you remap it to Smart Youtube TV?

Has anyone tried sideloading BBC iPlayer from the NVidia Shield?

Does it have separate profiles for family?

Is it possible to disable recommendation for shows on Apps you don't have?

Any idea what apps are available in the UK?

Specifically: NowTV, iPlayer, BT Sport

“All of the APKs from the new Chromecast.

I just extracted and uploaded all of the APKs from the new Chromecast with Google TV. Uploaded them on Google Drive, you can check it out via XDA.”

chromecast remote not changing inputs. Is anyone else having this problem. I'd love for this to work so I don't need a second remote just for switching.

What's the best third party gigabit ethernet adapter? (that works with existing charger)

I currently power my Chromecast 1st Gen using the usb port on the TV. Is this possible with the new Chromecast? I imagine it will depend on the power output of the TV but would be nice to know if I need another socket to plug this into!

I paired my bluetooth headphones to the new chromecast, they work well in most apps like Plex (after turning off audio passthrough in the app) but when using Netflix, there was small stutters and crackling ever few seconds, and the video actually appeared to slightly skip a few times. I don't think I noticed the same thing without the headphones but will do some more testing and listening to be sure. I'm assuming it's an issue with Netflix's app, but wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or had any insights. Tried using 2 different sets too, same result with both Sony and Samsung.

Doesn't seem adding things to the watchlist always comes from all the sources available.

Like, I can add WWE Main Event and SmackDown, and it points to Hulu like it should.

Raw, that is also on Hulu, does not show up properly for Hulu. It actually showed up with a green basic background with a lock not pointing to anything. I thought at one point it showed another service, but not now.

Can install any app using apk? Especially other than available in playstore. As far as I concern. It just another Chromecast devices

Is there anyway to install the chrome browser on the New Chromecast Android TV? I was hoping you could because if I ever wanted to do searches on my TV that would be great, or if I wanted to watch some movies from websites it would be easy to access them from the browser.

I posted a thread on /r/chromecast here, but my question is: is anyone else getting video stuttering on CCWGTV (new Chromecast)?

Watching content from both Disney+ and Google TV itself (i.e., my Google Play Movies library) is a stuttering mess. I am pretty confident it's a frame rate matching issue as my network is rock solid.

I can't get the Refresh Rate app to work like it does on Nvidia Shield TV because the "Network Debugging" option is not appearing in developer settings.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Or found a fix?

Curious if the new chromecast and google TV will support the apple TV app. I see that it will combine many streaming services into one interface (much like a fire stick) but can anyone confirm if it will include Apple TV+ ?

Google TV or Nvidia Shield 2017? I have someone selling me theirs bc they want the new Google TV. Not sure what to do myself. What would you do?

For the remote to control an audio device if the product isnt in the supported list is there a way to add it manually somehow? I have some Edifier speakers that I have hooked up to my bedroom tv via SPDIF and it has IR control would be nice to be able to control the volume with the chromecast remote.

Is there a way to add an hard drive to have more apps on the chromecast with google tv?

Curious about 4k30 and 1080p60 playback. When I set the default resolution to 4k30 and enable match content nothing will ever play at 60fps. Not youtube videos, not twitch, nothing. I have to manually set the resolution to 1080p 60 in order to get anything to play at 60fps. Strangely I still get dolby vision in 1080, which I've never seen before, but this suuuucks. Anyone had this issue?

Does it support dolby truehd and does it do netflix atmos?

Anyone else having issues setting theirs up? It takes like 3 weeks to connect to the internet and then never gets out of the updating screen. Very confused.

Hulu audio sync issues on the new Chromecast, and only outputting in stereo. The frame rate also is not changing to 24 based on the content....

I am unable to rearrange apps. I get this weird bar at bottom of TV and the only option that works on remote is the center round button

My question is this: has anyone else had it happen that an app gets stuck while downloading and never downloads? I attempted to download the Twitch app and it stays at 52% and never moves. I've tried restarting, force stopping play store, and clearing the cache, to no effect. Anyone else encountered this and figured a way to fix it?

Whats the best way to sideload apps on the new google tv? I cant get adb over wifi to work.

How does the CCGTV do with emulators?

I understand Dolphin for GameCube and Wii games is out of the question, but how does it handle less powerful systems? Can it do N64 or PS1, or are you looking pretty much exclusively at SNES/Game Boy-type emulation?

Is the interface rendered in pixel-sharp 4K ir is it upscaled?

Can you change the speed of youtube app playback to 2x on CCGTV?

My current tv's youtube app doesn't do this, I have to mirror my phone to TV to play at 2x for some lecture videos.

My chromecast with google tv keeps switching to mirroring after optimizing the video stream. Just recently grabbed the chromecast with Google TV and was streaming a video from the internet earlier today and though the chromecast had no trouble optimizing when I went full screen, it would not last for more than like a minute or two. Essentially, it would switch back to mirroring and say something about poor playback quality. I tried optimizing it like 6-7 times with the same results. I thought it might be the stream so i hooked up my 3rd generation chromecast and it not only optimized but stayed optimized the whole time on the first try. So i know it wasn't the stream or my internet connection.

Anybody else experience this issue with the Chromecast with Google TV and know any potential fixes? Is this something that could be resolved through a firmware update?

Thanks for any input!!

Can you run Google Duo on Google TV now?
(I have an external camera with a microphone)

​

Thanks!

Does anyone know if you can pair a bluetooth speaker to the new Chromecast? If so, will it have any noticeable delay for movies? I'm hoping to be able to connect with a projector to watch movies outside but of course the speakers of a projector are pretty weak. I'd love to pair it with a bluetooth speaker. The projector doesn't support bluetooth but I was hoping the new Chromecast would work for this

I just found out Youtube HDR videos does not trigger HDR on my TV.

That's the main reason for the switch from Android Shield, which never does Youtube HDR

Is there anything special required to enable external storage? My Chromecast is powered through a USB hub. I've tried an 512 GB SSD w/ a USB adapter, and a couple of different USB thumb drives (16GB and 8GB). I don't see anything in Settings -> Storage and also can't find the external drive w/ Kodi. Maybe it's the hub?

Can anyone confirm if there is an app for Spectrum (cable provider)?

I'm signed into hulu but the hulu shows are still showing a lock and won't open from the library tab. Anyone know how to fix?

Is Chromecast with Google TV worth getting if you already have android TV? (I own a Sony Bravia).

I have a feeling the white remote is gonna get stained over time, does anyone have any workaround / suggestions for a cover?

Has anyone successfully paired a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard? I have tried with no luck.

I was trying to install the new UI but couldn't find the "Network Debugging" in developer options. I have a TCL Android TV running Pie. Anyone can help me out?

Can you run a VPN on the device?

We have an LG OLED C9 and the colors with Match Content set to on are horrible.
We did a direct comparison between the built in LG TV apps (Youtube, YTV, Disney+, Netflix, Prime Vide) and the new Google TV and found all sorts of issues. The HDR/Dolby Vision video quality was terrible, and we were getting stuttering, indicating that the Chromecast wasn't adapting to changing framerates from content being played.

The colors started looking a lot better and a lot less washed out when match content was disabled, which was concerning.

The wifi quality seems to be concerning soI'm considering buying the ethernet power brick, but will only do so when good fixes the software in the next couple weeks. If not, we intend to return it.

Not having switchable person profiles (which seemed advertised in the launch night in video) is a real bummer too.

Anyone know how to bring up screen that shows running apps? I could do this on the Shield and it allowed me to close open apps.

Can you add it to a speaker group? My mi box s and Vodafone TV (Australian Google tv box similar specs to the mi box s) don't allow this in Australia even though I'm on the beta for cast

Is there a way to get the Live tab to respect your custom channel list in Youtube TV?

I can't seem to find any settings for this anywhere....

edit : Turns out restarting the device after setting the channels to the custom (or default) list will update the Live tab. Not sure if it will update on its own over time without a restart. I guess it was stuck on the default list because it isn't signed into YTTV when it's first set up.

Can someone help a brother out and verify if Viki App works on their Chromecast with Google TV? I have it installed, however it's not showing up in My Apps section. It does however show up in search and when you click on the app it only directs you to the App info page and not the app itself...

Thanks in advance

Can you use Google tv on chromecast ultra?

Does it have an IR receiver for use with universal remotes?

If not, what do people use / recommend for integrating with universal remotes? I use an old Harmony model.

The IR receiver is a feature I love about the Mi Box.

Can you connect it to a Bluetooth speaker and control the volume with the remote? Or are the volume buttons exclusively for HDMI-CEC?

For those that bought the 49.99 versions, does it allow you to redeem the 6 month netflix for existing Netflix customers?
