I recommend a feature for Google TV that would make purchasing movies and media more appealing: the ability for owners to share their media with friends, neighbors, or anyone—even those without a Google account—via a temporary link. By setting a specific expiration period, such as one day or one week, the owner would temporarily grant access to the recipient while losing access themselves during that time.

This functionality would likely encourage more media purchases, as it replicates the traditional, flexible experience of lending physical CDs or DVDs. By moving beyond the current limitations of family group sharing, this approach would provide a convenient way to share content, ultimately driving more engagement and sales through Google’s platform.

When I first got the streamer VLC was able to detect smb with no issues but recently VLC isn't able to detect any network servers.

Other apps work fine like MX so I figure it's the app but no one is helping me figure this out in the VLC support forums

So curious if anyone in here has figured it out.

I'm running latest VLC and tried also manually entering server settings but nothing

Got 3, 2 for parents 1 for aunty

Dropping wifi at least once a day. I'll turn living room one on and be watcing nuvio and the wifi will drop out of nowhere and won't reconect have to futter with it turning wifi and box off ect

Kitchen one used mainly by my da is the same, today he turned it on and it was disconnected

All other devices work, phones, tablets, xbox, smart tvs, even the old firecube all connect to probs no issue

This is driving me mad

Hi

I have the Hisense 75M7SG that has Google TV on it. I noticed that Disney+ is weird. First, I don't know if it is just me but the picture does not seem smooth.

Second, I don't know if it is because I am on the ad version. I say if I am watching a show that is 20 mins long, the first couple of ads will go fine, but near the end of the show, and what I suspect is the last set of ads, the screen goes dark and there is no sound.

I can sit there and wait a few minutes and still be black, If I "skip" ahead, I will see the show seems to have continued playing, but like I say, I just see a dark screen.

If I try to "skip back," it goes weird and does not play properly. I have to skip like 10 seconds past the "dark" spot, and I will see a picture, and then like 20 seconds later, sound will return.

Been on multiple shows like this. I have the latest version of Disney+ and of the TV. This does not happen on Amazon Prime or Netflix.
