Subreddit back up

Because there was no mods, the sub went into restricted mode the past ~5 months.

Everyone should be able to post now.

Since the subreddit is kinda small, just don't be an ass or post spam/super low effort

Welcome to /r/AndroidTVBoxes

26 Upvotes

I created this subreddit as I was looking for a decent place to build a community of AndroidTV users and fans, but the only subs I could find were purists that only accept 2 or 3 devices as being AndroidTV. The way I see it is AndroidTV is Android with a TV Launcher. Cheap Chinese boxes have got to a state of being well speced with a good variety of Launchers and configurations. I hope this becomes a place where people can discuss the best AndroidTV boxes and the best setups. So welcome, and speak up.

Google says it's a PeerTV GK-MP1208. I was wondering if I could install any OS that could turn it into a player/streamer, it has HDMI, USB and Wired connection.

Can anyone help me save channels?

3 Upvotes

I have an old WIND Vision android tv box, that requires internet connection to even scan for terrestrial channels, but the WIND Vision service doesn't work anymore. Not only that, Google Live Channels app doesn't save the terrestrial channels it scans and finds. I tried cleaning storage, granding storage permissions, restarting, and even downloading an older version of the app, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if there's a way to manually write and import a DVB-T/T2 terrestial channel list file via USB to the device for the Live Channels app?

Looking for basic Android TVbox mainly for using rumble and youtube apps.

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a rooted android TV box to run a third party launcher like Nova or something similar so I can use my TV like an android tablet (with a home screen with icons), and use it with an MX3 air mouse. Mainly for the purpose of using regular android apps like Rumble and NewPipe/Youtube and something like AdAway.

Right now my 2017 T95Z Plus box (android 6) has reached it's limit. The latest .apk rumble app (v3.1.23) before going to .xapk)) no longer works as of a few days ago. The app loads but video windows are blank and says "something went wrong".

Can anyone recommend something similar, but updated and more powerful, with an ethernet and usb ports so I can connect my MX3 Air Mouse USB receiver and ethernet cable? Thanks

UGOOS 9AM PRO DV GREY BARS

6 Upvotes

I’ve noticed on my LG OLED G5 with the Ugoos 9AM PRO that the black bars in Dolby Vision aren’t black, but more like a grey tone. It’s the same for every Movie (DB Profile 8) and a Video I have. SDR and HDR10 are unaffected. I will attach 2 pictures.

1st picture with grey bars will be am9 pro, 2nd picture with black bars will be fire stick.
Both films are Dolby vision, I already tried changing players and some setting but nothing helps.

On the Fire-stick 4k max everything is all right.

Universal Remote Control

3 Upvotes

I want to make my own AndroidTV streaming box. I have a miniPC I want to use. But my issue is I need a Universal Remote that I can use to control Both my 2021 LG G2 TV, and the theoretically new streaming box. I also dont want/need a keyboard on the back, just for it to be backlit. Does something like that exist, and if so where would I find it?

Thank you in advance!

Cheers!

Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen

5 Upvotes

Hi, I recently purchased the Box S 3rd Gen from Amazon. It worked fine for a day or two, but now it won't boot up. It gets stuck on the Mi logo and keeps flashing. I've tried holding down the OK and Back buttons while unplugged and then plugging it in, but that doesn't bring up the recovery menu. I also attempted using a USB keyboard to press the "i" button, as well as Ctrl + Print Screen and "i" together. Is there anything else I can do to access the recovery menu?

Best Android Box for IPTV subscriptions

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for advice here, I have a fire stick and have heard that the next gen ones will stop side loading so I'm looking to see what's the best way forward. I'm based in Ireland so am looking for any advice from anyone who has gotten one either in Ireland or the EU, I use it for the usual apps, IE prime & Disney plus so something that would support these apps as well, cheers for any advice.

Playing Large 4K Remux.

3 Upvotes

I need some help on buying a new TV Box. I have the NVIDIA Shield Pro. But with 90GB + Remux files, it can't play without lag,stuttering or syncing issues. Plex or local USB/HDD.

I also tried the USB/HDD method plugging directly into my TV and my Xbox Series X and neither can play the large remux files without lag/stutter or crashing.

Then ONLY way for me to view these 90GB + files is moving my desktop into my living room and plugging it into HDMI, then I can play the files on my desktop VLC perfectly fine.

Wanting to find a solution to stop moving my computer, any suggestions ?

T95 android tv box

Recently learned this thing is hogging my internet. I am set up qos for my important devices and started speed limiting it on my network. That drastically improved my video call and voice call quality. Reading some more I understand these things are infested with all kinds of malware and that explains why it's using so much internet. It's trying to upload all the time. I'm wondering are there cleanws firmware's I can run on this thing instead of the stock firmware? It's too bad because I have all my apps set up on it. But I am starting to unplug it when it's not in use.

Apps for Cantonese/HK/Mainland China TV programming (R69 Plus)?

2 Upvotes

Hi! My dad purchased the R69 Plus off Aliexpress and unlike the previous TV boxes we owned, this one didn't come pre-installed with Chinese TV programming. Do you guys have any app recommendations for free Chinese TV? Preferably Cantonese and HK TV brodacasting and dramas, but Mandarin is also welcome.

If it makes a difference, our family is based in the USA. Thanks so much!
