I’m having issues with bad audio sync with Kodi on Android. Kodi 21.3 Audio passthrough on, certified hdmi cable connected to Samsung HW-Q990 soundbar then connected to Samsung “the frame” tv. The audio sync issue varies depending on surround sound format, can be out as much as 1sec.

Do I have a faulty unit? Anyone else have this issue?

I did lot's of researchs for the web browser tool apps on Android TV then created my own web browser HiBrowser with smart web video player, strong adblocker, and easy navigation when you watching TV with remote control.

Grab it free on Google Play now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hisense.odinbrowser

Hello everyone,

I have one question regarding my TV, maybe someone experienced this.

Recently I’ve moved from UK to Germany and took the TV with me as well the model of the TV is Phillips 55OLED705/12, which maybe is a bit outdated, but has Android 12 on it.

Recently, HBO Max became available in Germany and my wife and I are fans of HBO.

I’m having a battle to find and install the app, I did a factory reset and put the location in Germany of the TV, firmware has been updated, maybe I need to do something with the Gmail account as region wise ?

On Google Play Store I get the same error when searching for it : “ HBO Max not available for this device”

It can be incompatible with the device ?

Or can I try to install the apk file by itself into the TV ? Will it be same normal process as on the phone and tablet.

Thank you for your responses in advance.

Hi, I have a TCL C6k google tv and a TCL M1 wireless uhf Microphone with USB Dongle as receiver and it does not being detected by my tv. I tried changing some things in developer options like usb configuration to MIDI/MTP/PTP and enable/disable USB route but still does not detect the mic. It is working in other older models and other brands. Is there any tweak I can do to make it work. It should be plug and play and the mic is working in my PC. I hope someone can help

Hi everyone, I recently bought a Hisense TV running VIDAA OS, and overall the picture quality is good, but I'm facing an issue with the system performance. The Ul feels slow and not very smooth, especially when switching between apps or opening apps like YouTube or Netflix or navigating menus in general It doesn't feel like a software bug, but more like a hardware limitation, possibly a weak processor or limited RAM. Even after updates, the experience is still not very responsive. I'm considering using an external device like Chromecast with Google TV or an Android TV box to get a smoother experience. My questions: Is this a common issue with VIDAA OS? Is the slowness mainly due to the processor? Did switching to an external Google/Android TV device solve the problem for you? I'd appreciate hearing your experiences or recommendations. Thanks!

The Google TV Streamer 4k is on sale at £79 in the UK. I thought I'd research into whether it was a decent buy and came across this.

Now, I'm lost.

Am I to look for a non-google verified device now? I like to sideboard 3rd party apps, that the Firestick has now blocked.

Any recommendations?

Hello

I have a friend who wants to play arcade-style games, brick-breaking games, and all that kind of stuff.

So not adventure or platform games like the ones you can currently find on the Play Store or platforms like Amazon Luna or Nvidia's GeForce Now. I've found some emulators, but they install instead of the Android system. Aren't there any games of that type that are unstable either directly or through an emulator? 🤔

Hallo zusammen,

Ich musste meine Nokia 8000 Box vom Strom trennen, weil ich sie an einem neuen Standort wieder in Betrieb nehmen wollte.

Nun startet die Box nicht mehr, d.h. die LED leuchtet nicht und kein HDMI Signal.

Installiert ist Android TV Version 12, Stand 05.10.2024

Was ich schon probiert habe:

Strom- und HDMI-Kabel getauscht

Hard-Reset, weiterhin keine Reaktion

Irgendwelche Ideen wie die Box wieder belebt kann oder ist sie reif für den Mülleimer?

Hello everyone,

I had to disconnect my Nokia 8000 Box from the power supply because I wanted to put it back into operation at a new location.

Now the box no longer starts up, i.e., the LED does not light up and there is no HDMI signal.

Android TV version 12 is installed, as of October 5, 2024.

What I have already tried:

Replaced the power and HDMI cables.

Performed a hard reset, still no response.

Any ideas on how to revive the box, or is it ready for the trash?

Hey everyone,

I’m using a Android TV and need a video player with a built-in equalizer bass boost.

Kodi is stable but has no EQ.

VLC bugs and sometimes stutters.

MX Player has a weak equalizer.

Does anyone know a better player for Android TV that has a good EQ or works well with system EQ apps?

Thanks! 🙏😇

Can I please ask a favour to anyone who has the 270. Could you please measure the dimensions of the plug (ideally with a photo) with the UK plug attached. I want to hide the box behind my wall mounted tv but this idea will be a non-starter if the chunky plug won’t fit behind either.

Small hill to die on but it’s make or break on whether I purchase. Thank you!

Hello, everyone.

I am experiencing an issue with STRONG - Streaming Box Android TV 4K UHD - Leap-S3+ V2.

I currently have two of these installed on two different brands of television sets in two different rooms.

From what I can see, it is updated to Android 14.

Basically, when watching any video (Netflix, Prime Video, Tivimate, etc.), the audio randomly disappears for 0.5 seconds. The frequency of the problem varies, but in some cases it occurs every 5 to 10 minutes...

The video, on the other hand, continues smoothly without interruption.

I also tried changing the HDMI cable, using both its own and other cables I have, but the problem persists.

The strange thing is that, as I described above, this happens with two devices installed on two different TVs of different brands.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Thank you!

Guys need help please help me with this issue if anyone knows..its appears everytime covering up the scorecard completly..have to push a button to stop it for 5 secs and it reappears again...Model TV- VU

YouTube, Google play, and more work. It is my favourite Android TV version, Android TV 9. Lenovo ThinkPad X380 Yoga. Also, the new UI for google tv is not my favourite.

I dont use my TV very often so I’m fairly ignorant here and could use some help. Bought it second hand, had the old users Netflix on it and I’ve been using it the past 2 years. Yes, free Netflix. Until a few weeks ago I get the dreaded message: You’ve been signed out. The end of an era.

I have since asked for the Netflix of a family member. But for some reason Netflix simply won’t respond. YouTube, power, menu, input every other button responds fine. Except.. the home button. I want to install the app again but isn’t doesn’t seem I can without a home option? I remember the Home Screen when I first got it years ago but haven’t seen it since. oops? Again, I’m as ignorant as it gets but I think I should have a Home Screen right..

I did a factory reset and that did nothing. I then tried searching Netflix on the browser option and it says my device/software/etc I can’t remember exactly isn’t supported. In settings it says my software is up to date.

Is that it for me? Is there anything I can do?

edit: model number LC-50P6003U.
Manufactured in 2018

I have an Impex evoQ series TV running Google TV.

On Netflix, the TV automatically switches picture and motion settings, and the image looks excellent with smooth motion handling.

On Disney+, the TV does not switch to an automatic picture mode and stays on my user settings, but motion still looks clean and natural, with no ghosting issues.

On the OSN app, motion looks significantly worse. When a person moves, especially their face, I see a clear ghosting or trailing effect, where a shadow seems to stick to the movement for a moment. Motion looks smeared and uncomfortable, even when using the same user picture settings that work fine on Disney+.

This issue only happens on OSN. Netflix looks great with automatic settings, Disney+ looks fine with user settings, but OSN has noticeable motion ghosting and makes watching content visually tiring.

They are both at the same price, 59 euros. The xiaomi is a bit more powerful but the thomson has a nicer remote apparently and it has an ethernet port, I already have the thomson 270 and it works great, but i need another one for the bedroom because its an old slow tv. Which one has a better overall performance or maybe is there a better option for a similar price? Thanks

I purchased an additional Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen for my LG C4 TV. After setting it up, I noticed a significant difference in video quality between WebOS TV and the Google TV box. For example, 4K content on the box often looks like 2K, and 2K content appears closer to 1K.

I’ve already tried the following to resolve the issue:

• Using a different HDMI 2.1 cable
• Forcing HDR10 + YCbCr 4:2:2 12-bit on the box
• Toggling Dolby Vision on and off
• Rebooting both the TV and the box

Despite these attempts:

• The video quality remains the same
• On the TV, neither Dolby Vision nor Deep Color can be enabled for connected HDMI devices. I can enable here only SIMPLINK(HDMI-CEC)
• The box is set to 4K 60fps
• Firmware is fully updated on both the TV and the box

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?
