Porn abruptly playing on AndroidTV

by curiusbug

So I was watching cable tv on my TV(connected via HDMI) on my tv and suddenly chrome browser opens up(and chrome I can’t find the chrome browser on my TV) and some porn video starts playing on my TV. This has been happened twice so far and I can’t think of or find any reason this is happening.

I READ YOU LOUD AND CLEAR, SIR. So, this is definitely a thing that can happen and it totally did to lots of innocent men. It happened once to me. My girlfriend was over when all of the sudden porn was cast to my screen. I didn't notice it at first because I was in the bathroom on my phone looking up bible passages. The next thing I know my TV was filled with exactly the type of porn that I regularly fantasize about. HACKERS. It's well known they do that all of the time. Show this to your girlfriend anyone that never heard of this strange, but totally true, phenomenon.

Maybe your kid uses the wrong cast?

Is someone casting to your tv?

Seems the most likely reason.

First question is if your wifi has password. Second is who did you share it with.

As another “User” said, someone “Casted” to ur TV. Change the “Password” to ur Router.

Your innocent daughter/son/partner or filthy flat mate cast his porn by accident.

If you live alone then it might be a good idea to change your wifi password or turn off WPS

Hurlamania

In your TV settings somewhere about Chromecast unselect so you don't allow guests or anyone to cast.

Something to that effect.

Hey OP. When you figure out how this happened, can you let me know the steps required 😉

Install the Google home app on your phone and use the same Gmail account you are using on your tv, select your tv > settings > recognition and "sharing and let other users control your cast media" to never.

It you are seeing a chrome window also check that there is no HDMI cable connected to the tv.

It could be an ad, that opens chrome. It could be an ad from the app you are watching, or a notification from a site that has notification access in chrome. So first try to block ads in your wifi using a dns ad blocking server like adguard dns and second try to delete data from chrome 's app info
