ADB connection to Android TV

by Opposing_Thumbs

I just got an android tv (Hisense 85H6570G Android TV) and is there a way to connect ADB via USB from my PC? I know I can connect via network using adb, but want a reliable / wired connection.

Does a USB-A to USB-A cable work?

Careful with USB-A to USB-A, unless you are absolutely certain its supposed to work. This is VERY non-standard. In the worst case scenario, you are connecting 2 hosts back to back, including the Vbus line. A small difference between the host voltages, and you are basically testing if one of the device (the one that happened to produce lower voltage) is protected from backfeeding over that line. I wouldn't be too eager to do that on my devices.

Whats wrong with connecting over network? You can plug Ethernet in if you want wired.

Some boxes support ADB over Wi-Fi if you merely enable ADB over usb. This can also be enabled if you connect via ADB through a USB connection, assuming your box supports it.

Personally, I like the Android app BugJaeger to easily connect to my GTV over wifi to take screenshots to install and pull down files. It's a great app actually
