We used it for a couple of weeks to watch abroad TV channels live when we had visitors. Never had an issue with browsing or streaming.
Can vouch for this browser. It's probably the best browser I have used on a TV. I actually used it to browser reddit once and it wasn't event that bad of an experience
If we don't have Google Play (behind the Great Firewall) does it need Google Services to run, and where can we DL the app to sideload?
It's not perfect, but it works pretty well so far. It just needs a pop-up blocker and more tweaks but I think once this project gets more attention and work done on it, everybody will be running it on their Android TV box as a simple way to browse pages. It's already on the Play Store, too but I wanted to link the Github page in order to show people the code and hopefully get more people working on it.
When it says remote support does that mean you use a cursor? I'm looking for a browser that you can navigate with out one.
I wish it could press space when I press pause on my Nvidia shield remote. That is all it is missing!
Best browser programme ever for a fast cursor movement and nice navigation, bookmarks a bit rudimentary but very fast overall, recommend install.
Does it have a built in adblocker? How does easylist adblocking support works?
TV-Bro is amazing & work so smoothly EXCEPT it cannot pause/play or rewind/fwd streaming videos (on my firestick)!
Im not sure why they perfected the voice commands but not video navigation??
You can set shortcuts and KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE is a key you can set, but play/pause is not a shortcut you can set.
Does anyone know if future updates will include this? Im not a dev so I can't figure it out myself. My Silk browser constantly slows down to being unusable then crashes, I was so excited when I found TV Bro..but no video navigation is quite a bummer.
I tried Puffin and it buffered too much on most videos, then I tried Open Browser and the mouse did not work correctly. I then found your post through a search and the TV-Bro is working out great. Thanks a lot.
This was the winner when I went looking for a browser that can be navigated without a keyboard and mouse.
Worked great for watching Olympics via VPN. Other AndroidTV-specific browsers did weird stuff with having a server intercept the traffic or wouldn't play videos properly.
