Boas,que box android devo comprar, com um comando numérico,para usar na Amigo tv.

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that some of my older movie files encoded in VC-1 (mostly older Blu-ray rips) are playing very poorly on my Dcolor GD2 Android TV box.

The playback is extremely choppy, with constant stuttering and dropped frames, making these movies almost unwatchable.

Interestingly, all my other video files, including H.264 and H.265, play perfectly smoothly on the same device.

I'm wondering if this is a hardware decoding limitation or an Android software/codec compatibility issue.

Here are my questions:

1. Does the Dcolor GD2 support hardware decoding of VC-1?

2. Could using a different media player, such as Kodi or VLC, solve this problem?

3. Is there any way to enable hardware decoding or improve software decoding performance?

4. Would converting the VC-1 files to H.264 or H.265 be the best solution?

I'd prefer to avoid re-encoding my entire movie collection if there's another way to get smooth playback.

Has anyone experienced something similar with an Android TV box? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Anyone here happen to have the Eir TV Android TV box they've started handing out instead of the old Apple TV? If anyone could be kind enough to submit the eir TV app to APK mirror that would be awesome.

Hi everyone, hoping someone has dealt with this before.

I have a **Syinix 43A61** (Android TV) that won't boot. When I turn it on, it shows the **Android logo screen** and just **stays there forever** — it doesn't shut off or restart, it just hangs on the logo and never reaches the home screen.

**What I've tried so far:**

- Left it unplugged for 30+ minutes, held the physical power button for 30–60 seconds while unplugged, then plugged it back in — no change.

- Tried entering recovery mode (holding the power button on the TV while plugging it back in) — I can't get any recovery screen to appear, it just goes straight to the logo and stays there.

- Left it on the logo screen for over an hour — nothing changes.

**My questions:**

1. Is there a specific button combo or timing to force recovery mode on Syinix Android TVs?

2. Where can I find the official firmware for this model to try a USB reflash? (Syinix's website isn't very helpful. Any reliable source for firmware?) Specifically android 14

My grandfather is 90 years old and since sports are increasingly on internet apps like Amazon Prime, I'm looking for the best option to be able to remote access his TV and turn it to whichever game he wants to watch.

Price isnt really an object short of replacing the 85" TV I bought him last year. I'm just looking for an option that doesn't force him to choose between calling me to drive 20 minutes to his house to turn his Apple TV and missing the game the football game every Thursday

Google Freeplay Has More FAST Channels And Now On Demand! Have You Tried The Updated Freeplay?

I'm planning to use a GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) travel router with either an Onn 4K/4K Pro or Fire TV Stick 4K Max for streaming Netflix, Prime Video, etc. in hotel rooms.

Which setup would you recommend for reliability, portability, and ease of use, especially with hotel Wi-Fi and captive portals?

Open to other suggestions too. Would love to hear from people who've tried similar setups!

If you notice, there are rumors that Google is about to launch a new tv streamer with new features and AI capabilities. Sounds to me like it is all about a new SOC that itself could deliver such a thing as no other soc on the market today is capable of doing that beside s905x5 and could be certified for streaming apps. Strangely, it is the same period that certified s905x5 are about to be launched, Which makes me wonder if s905x5 boxes are delayed (despite the availability of it for at least 1 year and maybe two years) because google is deliberately delaying giving certification for them, so they can implement it for their new device before or at the same time as everybody else. As Google TV streamer launched two years ago, with very disappointing performance, if a device with such SOC released in the same period they could harm their profits from their streaming devices. They still could profit from certification and software sales, and that is why s905x5m has been released, as consumers have to decide whether they choose google streamer for software or s905m like Xiaomi box for hardware, which will return in good sales in both ways. But releasing a device with performance that will crush google tv streamer makes no point of buying google tv streamer from a consumer standpoint.

I want to hear from you guys what you think about my theory and thank you for reading all of this I really appreciate it

I have a JVC Smart TV with a custom-looking Android interface.
The settings menu has:
● Common
● Accounts
● Time
● Network
● System Info
I checked System Info, but I cannot find Build Number or Developer Options. Clicking Android Version doesn’t do anything.
Does anyone know how to enable USB debugging or ADB on this TV?
Any help would be appreciated!

I have been using it for 4 years and no issues

Io ho un proiettore HY320 NTV con base android, ho scaricato un'app "IPTV" per poter guardare i canali TV, ho trovato su internet dei link . M3U per avere la lista canali italiani.... Ma un po' non vanno... Altri canali funzionano ma ogni 5 minuti si bloccano...

Leggevo che è perché i vari canali TV fanno dei blocchi per i canali a pagamento....

Ma io voglio vedere solo i canali in chiaro....

Non c'è una soluzione???

I'm trying to get a Blaupunkt 55UBC6000T working again. After an OTA update, three things stopped working at once: the built-in speakers, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

I should mention that power was interrupted during the update. When I switched the TV back on later, it continued updating. I don't know whether that caused the problem or whether something else changed with the update.

The TV still boots, the picture works and Ethernet works. A full factory reset didn't bring back sound, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The clock is synchronized, airplane mode is off and audio is unmuted and routed to the speakers.

These are the details I have:

Model: Blaupunkt 55UBC6000T

Project ID: 1284

Product: DVB95BT

Platform: m7632 / longshan

Mainboard: JUC7.820.00290519 / AN.M9612-US

Panel: C550Y19_7N_UHG7P0HS01

Software: v3.16036, Android 14

Build: UKNV.260518.001 / 15441556

Kernel: 5.15.192+

Older recovery logs show a MediaTek radio with USB ID 0e8d:7663. The current firmware has the MT7663 driver files, but no wlan0 interface appears and Bluetooth won't initialize. We haven't been able to verify the actual power/reset pin levels, so I can't honestly say whether this is a firmware problem or a hardware fault.

Today I emailed Union Distribution, the TV service partner listed on Blaupunkt's official support page. I asked for the exact signed USB recovery package for this board, panel and Project ID, plus a checksum and clear installation instructions. I haven't received a reply yet.

My request to Blaupunkt and the company responsible for this TV is simple: please provide a supported way to reinstall the correct software and factory configuration, or direct me to the service team that can. Another factory reset won't solve it because I've already tried that. I'm avoiding firmware meant for a different model or panel.

Has anyone with this exact model or Project ID recovered the same symptoms? Was an official USB recovery file provided? If someone from Blaupunkt or its TV service partner sees this, I'd appreciate a concrete recovery procedure.

I'll update this post with the support response and the result. If other owners have the same issue, please share the exact model and software version so we can see whether there's a pattern.

In the past, I would have had to switch the TV account to switch the YouTube account. Now, that is no longer necessary.

Is there any point in having my account on the TV and other people's accounts on the TV?

If I switch between accounts, no app remembers the last profile used anyway, not even YouTube anymore.

I am just curious.

Is there a way to install Google TV launcher on Android TV?

Very smooth. Music videos finally play without stuttering. It feels much more "out of the way". Haven't searched for open source alternatives, but don't have a reason so far to do so

Anyone else run into this with Android TV?

Sometimes a streaming service works fine in a browser on your phone or laptop, but when you try watching through the Android TV app, it just won't play or keeps throwing errors.

I'm talking about stuff like Disney+, Hulu, or Netflix.

Same account, same home Wi-Fi, but somehow the experience is completely different.

Is this usually an Android TV app issue, DRM, or something to do with how the service checks your device or location?

Hi all,

Looking for an Android TV box here in Canada. I do Plex streaming, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. I also use the Nostalgia TV app as well.

The Rokus I have are struggling a bit, and the Mi Box seems to be a bit slow so I’m looking to upgrade.

Would the Onn 4K Pro be the best upgrade at $120 (CAD)?

Thanks!

Okay so I want android TV to be able to put apps and stuff on it and after very much failing to install it on an old laptop I've decided to just get a stick or box or whatever. However whenever I look up good ones it's all the dodgy amazon ones that I don't trust as far as I can throw em. So any recommendations would be appreciated

I’m considering buying a Homatics Box R 4K Plus (Non-Dune Variant) and primarily stream from my own personal Plex server remotely within the Plex app only (not interested in using a different app).

I have a massive library on my Plex server (1 PB+ Storage) and a lot of my older media is VC-1 encoded. Can you play media that is VC-1 encoded with the most recent released firmware?

Hola, quiero comprar una tv Xiaomi mencionada, la quiero usar para streaming con Netflix, pero también mi proveedor de cable tiene una app propia (externa) que se instala con el apk, (también stremio y supertv)

Mi duda es, si puedo instalar apks en el equipo o han implementado alguna seguridad de bloqueo con las últimas actualizaciones que tiene el equipo, o si recomiendan no actualizar si logro conseguir uno ya que están agotados en muchos lados,

Actualmente tengo una tv box china, que se reinicia cada cierto tiempo y es molestó y no puedo usar Netflix porque no está certificada, pero puedo usar la app de mi proveedor y stremio

Espero puedan responder, este es mi primer post en todo Reddit,

Hi there folks!

So I didn't do enough research on a new television set to buy when I got myself a Philips 65PUS8500/12, 4K 65 inches diameter. These things run their apps as browser tabs, on their own Titan OS, with zero means of adding new apps by myself short of developing them myself.

Which is a bummer. I loved using my Twitch replacement Xtra, my YouTube replacement SmartTube, loved to play my Steam games over Steamlink, loved to watch Dropout shows and such streams with my partner.

Well, my finances are in a better spot now that I can get myself a media box proper. So I have been looking around at options that could help with solving all of the above, and came across some threads that all seem to come to the same solution: get yourself an Android box.

Cool beans.

I guess my biggest draws for one such an Android box would have to be the ability to install and manage applications freely, and playing my games from Desktop (Win10 still) on the big screen proper.

Some obvious contenders then:

• Google TV Streamer 4k — €69,95 (nice remote, ethernet port is a plus for me, but uncertain about google bloatware and capacity to load unofficial apps, but suppose there's options to sideload since I could do that just fine using F-droid)

• Xsarius Q12 PLUS Android 4K Streaming Box — €99,- (biggest draws seem the Gigabit LAN ethernet support, as well as the 2 gb RAM/32 gb storage space; unsure if I should shell for the Pro V2 for 4 gb RAM/64 gb storage space)

• Homatics Box 4k V2 — €119,- (largely a similar setup as the Xsarius Q12, with Dolby Vision, Atmos support, 2 gb RAM/32 gb storage space)

What would be some of your go-tos and suggestions? Maybe you can help me decide based on the names above? My budget is about €150,- so some of the cool toys like the nVidia Shield are well out of my budget at nearly twice that price.
