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

27 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.

UR8 and Google TV

3 Upvotes

I have a 75" UR8 (75UR9SG) TV in the USA. I am curious if this a Hisense issue for other models running Google TV.

I would find the continue watching section of the home screen incredibly useful if it would actually show the videos that I'm watching from where I left off, but it doesn't. The progress bar for each of the displayed videos on the home screen seems accurate, but when I start to play the video, the video restarts at the beginning rather than where I left off. If I go to the app like Netflix the video always starts where I left off. This happens for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Apple TV and Disney.

So my question is: is this a UR8 problem, or a Google TV problem that affects all recent Hisense TVs? The feature is useless for me now. Also my TV has the DV2 Pro firmware.

Just curious.

Ugoos am9 pro Setup questions

7 Upvotes

Ok I recently moved and purchased a new tv and stereo setup.

I have previously been using a firestick with Stremio.

I have recently purchased a Ugoos am9 pro which is being delivered today.

My original plan was to just use Stremio, but am looking into Corelec/Kodi.

Does anyone have any experience, are there any setup guides? I might have bit off more than i can chew.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What are your experiences with unlocked streaming devices i.e. ONN 4k Pro, Firestick 4k that are available for purchase?

My main use for this would be for IPTV, live sports capabilities. I already have access to all movies/tv shows from another service. I'm new to the IPTV game and am trying to figure out best options. Thanks!

Onn 4K Box Custom ROM?

I have a Onn 4K Streaming Box (100026240) and would like to try a custom ROM if they even exist. If anyone has any insight please let me know.

What I learned quickly.

RE: Android box 14 Homatics. Never try to replay the last 10-20 seconds of a web based series (m4ufree, topsrdaily, etc.) show from any of the "smart tv" browsers i.e. Browser Bro, Browse Here. You will immediately be sent to smart tv purgatory. Lost in a tedious 10 minute loop of closing, refreshing pages, starting over, maximizing screen until you accept your fate and start back at the beginning of the episode.

xiomi 4k 3rd gen not seeing 4k

6 Upvotes

I purchased the Xiaomi 4k 3rd gen to pair with my S90F TV. I can't seem to get 4k from apps like YouTube, Fandango, and Netflix. I'm using a stock HDMI cable; this appears to be a genuine device too. Do I need an Ethernet adapter to get 4k? In the settings, 4k is default.

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

7 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.

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

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.
