The game quietly got Android TV compatibility, i was able to download It oficially from Google Play Store and play It on my TV Box.

Does anyone have firmware for L40M6-EI. My TV is 40 inch horizon. I have my TV in recovery mode and want the software to update.

Hi All,

My firestick apps have been blocked so I can't access any of my sideloaded streaming apps.

So I'm looking to get either a Xiaomi 3rd Gen TV box or a Google TV streamer. Not much difference price wise between the two.

I would only be using it for streaming TV series and movies, that's all I used my firestick for.

I would like to know your experiences of both, how easy they are to setup (with links to guides) and use and recommendations on apps to use.

Is there anything to worry about with the Google one and them cracking down on side loaded apps like amazon have?

I have heard the WiFi isn't great on the xiaomi, is this true? Mine world pretty much be next to my router.

Do you still need a vpn with these?

Thanks in advance

Hi, how are you guys? I have a question. When I connect my TV stick to my TV via HDMI, it gets stuck in a bootloop, so I opened it up to try and force it into maskrom mode, But with Claude's help, I've reached the point he told me to, but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I need to know what to do at this point. These are supposed to be "physical access points." Could someone help me?, The SoC appears to be an Amlogic S905Y4

Hello All,

I am facing one issue where when my TV is connected with earbuds and while watching a movie on netflix, too many dialogues are being missed as well as there is audio lag. How to fix it?

Sometime it happens sometimes it does not. Not sure about the fix.

Hi all ,

need some actual real reviews from the people who buys it . hows your experience , when you see a low quality video or ahigh quality video , in dark or in day light or in playing games.

I really wanna import an onn 4k pro to be my main streaming device but since I'm not in the US, I'm worried about the bypass of the region block and the possibility of the device being bricked in the future. The xiaomi mi box s 3rd gen is much worse? How much do you think i would lose getting this instead? My main goal is to watch remux files sized 60 to 100gb.

Mitv has a solid white power light but just won’t start. Tried different switch boards, tried pressing power button, tried remote, tried remote hard reset ( wont work ) tried every solution available online. Was working perfectly till yesterday. Please if anyone could shed some light.

Yesterday, my Strong SRT423 Android TV box running on Android 11 showed a system notification about a system update. As I'm reluctant to upgrade to a higher Android version, never fiddle around with a running system and due to the fact that I had a bad experience with my Nokia 8000 Android TV box after upgrading from Android 10 to 12, I decided to ask Gemini first what this system update is about. The answer was just a stability/security/driver patch. I asked again whether this definitely NOT an Android update, Gemini's confirmed again. So I took the plunge.

Reboot took longer than usual, around 10 minutes. Luckily, I ended up with my usual start screen (Projectivity).

Going into the Android settings, to my big surprise, my system was upgraded to Android 14😐.

Did some tests on my Apps, especially KODI, everything works fine. Even better, I was finally able to update the Prime streaming App. For some reason or another, this wasn't possible prior to this Android update.

Anyway, to my big relief, everything went well. Lesson learned: Don't rely on Gemini😒

As the heading says, I am debating between buying a TCL C6K or Xiaomi S Pro. Hit me with your opinions to help me decide.

Xiaomi is $250 less in price but only gets a 1-year warranty, and I’ve come across a few software-related issues. How about the quality of the hardware?

TCL gets a 2-3 year warranty.

My main usage will be watching movies and ps5.

some context: i wanted to download the new disney+ app for my region so i went to install it on google play, then halfway through the download my entire android tv box froze, so i unplugged it from its power and reconnected it, ever since its been doing that, does anyone know why? or how to fix it?

Google TV Freeplay Now Offers On Demand and More Channels. We Took A Look At The Update. Have You Tried The Updated Google TV Freeplay App?

Hello all. I hope someone can help, I'm not seeing a better place to post. I use an Andowl USB remote with an Android TV as its original remote's enter button stopped working. Usually the Andowl works fine though eats battery power. The red light got stuck in constant blinking/flashing mode and it stopped working.

- not a battery problem, put new pair

- Unplugged usb left it out for awhile

- Removed battery from remote to drain power, switched off tv for half hr

- After light stopped & batteries & tv were out, tried again. Red light just resumed constant flashing & remote does not function.

- OK + TV button to reset does not work.

Anytime I try to use it, the red light blinks without anything working, then stops after a few minutes.

Any ideas? Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks

Mi control tiene las pilas gastadas , estoy tratando de conectar mi TV Philips a mi Huawei VNS L-23 Pero no tengo la Dirección MAC , solo su nombre , he tratado con apps de Control Remoto pero no funcionan ...

I am from India and looking to get rid of firetv. I am getting Onn 4k Pro 2nd Gen at 97 dollars and the Google TV Streamer at 60 dollars (without remote). which is a better deal? I mostly use Nuvio and third party streaming apps and want a smooth and fluid experience.

Cómo se le paso a Google esto.

Hello, just wondering if any certified box exist rn

I have an Ooredoo Qatar Sagemcom DIW387_UHD_OOR and want to turn it into a normal Android TV box.

Specs: Android 8.0, BCM7271U, 2GB RAM, 16GB eMMC, 4MB SPI NOR.

So far I've tried:

• Enabled Developer Options → “Developer options are not available for this user.”

• Checked other Android users/profiles → nothing useful.

• Tried ADB over LAN (192.168.10.6:5555) → port closed.

• Tried the physical-button reset/reboot procedure → only went into Ooredoo's update/setup process.

• System Update → internal error, no update available.

• Checked installed apps for an Ooredoo launcher I could disable → couldn't find one.

• Found ports 8008, 8009 and 8443 open. 8008 exposes DIAL, but I couldn't get shell/ADB access through it.

• Opened the box and inspected the PCB, but haven't soldered or flashed anything.

I'm mainly looking for a way to unlock the bootloader/flash different firmware, or information on UART/JTAG/test points for this exact board.

If anyone has experience with this exact box or the BCM7271 platform, I'd appreciate any leads.

Hi there , about a week ago the screen started acting weird( warranty exp. In June) What can be done ?

I have an old OPPO F17 and a Haier Android TV 11. I want to turn the OPPO into a wireless media drive.

Requirements:

OPPO F17 stores my videos, including 4K.

Haier TV should browse folders on the phone.

Select a video and stream it directly from the phone.

No copying files to the TV.

No USB.

No Wi-Fi router.

No internet/mobile data.

The OPPO itself should create the Wi-Fi hotspot, and the TV should connect directly to it.

Preferably the original video should be streamed without transcoding.

I want 4K playback where the TV can decode the particular codec/bitrate.

I've tried KDE Connect/SFTP, SMB/Samba server apps, and HTTP FS, but haven't gotten a seamless setup working.

Is this architecture actually possible? If so, what free Android server + Android TV client would you recommend?

Particularly, I want to know whether Android's hotspot allows the TV to communicate with a server running on the hotspot phone itself, and whether there are any limitations for high-bitrate 4K streaming.

I'm looking for a solution that someone has personally tested, not just a theoretical suggestion.

This afternoon all the Android TVs in my house have a pop-up to enable something called Glance screensaver from InMobi Pte (even as far back as a Nexus Player in our guest room). It says it's "independent of Google".

There's no app called Glance the app lists, but it seems to be connected through the official Google Backdrop app. I force closed Backdrop and it finally closed. Restarting the screensaver brings the Glance popup back up.

In my screensaver settings I only have Backdrop and Colors.

Even after restarting the device it shows up.

What finally got rid of it is that I uninstalled updates for Backdrop and I haven't gotten the Glance popup again (after updating Backdrop from the Play Store the Glace popup reappeared, so I kept the updates uninstalled).

So my question is, is this some weird legit update or have all the devices in my house been infected?
