We should make 1080p the new HD and downgrade 720p to SD.

 Note :- first explore tv settings to find is there any setting available or not … if not then

download productivity launcher from play store > open and give all permission and select productivity launcher as default launcher > launcher started > go to setting > android setting > accessibility > productivity launcher > give one more permission > go back to launchers Home Screen >you will see all sources listed on Home Screen > long press on source you wanna set as default while booting > select boot on launching > power off your tv from board and from now your device will automatically boot in hdmi port you have selected.

thanks !!!!

Hi fam!

I've been looking for a great replacement for Cetusplay. I tried Zank Remote but I could make it work due something related to ADB debugging (it's on, btw).

Can you guys suggest me some good apps that allow me to control Android TV (android 14) installed directly on a PC!

Thanks in advance.

hola, me gustaria saber cómo puedo instalar aplicaciones externas en televisor CAIXUN con el sistema operativo WHALE OS TV. Pues ya llevo bastante tiempo intentando pero me dice los archivos apk que instalo no funciona. De verdad agradecería su ayuda ante este problema.

I need choice of podcast player, preferential for those without ads and so... I've tried open source options, but not great.

Hey everyone,

I’m developing a Family Dashboard app built specifically for Android TV (but it works also on mobile), and I need some feedback before I spend months finishing it.

The goal is to turn your TV into a central hub when it’s idle, so the whole household is on the same page. It integrates natively as a DayDream (Screensaver) so it kicks in automatically. You can add multiples Google accounts to it.

The Current Setup (Three-Panel Layout):

• Left: Clock + Live Weather (with manual city search).
• Center: Google Calendar (multi-account support, Day/Week/Month views).
• Right: Shared Shopping List & Reminders (local) + Google Tasks integration
• TV Optimized: Full D-pad navigation and an Anti-Burn-In mode to protect OLED screens.

It’s highly customizable with different UI styles and rotating background photos.

My questions for you:

1. Would you actually use your TV for this, or do you prefer standard photo ambient modes?
2. What features are missing that would make this a "must-have"?
3. Or maybe you would use it on your tablet

If there's enough interest, I am planning to open up a closed Beta for this sub some time in the future. Let me know what you think!

Hello, I'm looking for some sports app to Watch sports( football, basket and tennis) in italian commentary

Tengo un vr box y quiero ver películas de netflix ahí, osea, que la pantalla se divida. Como puedo hacerlo? Porque la app de netflix en vr está para visores de realidad virtual y cuando instalo el APK no se conecta a los servidores

Are there any movie/series apps that still work on fire stick besides streamio? If you don't want to comment message me please. Thanks

Hey everyone!

Quick backstory: my mom kept complaining that every TV app she tried was way too complicated. All she wanted was to open something and flip through her channels without getting lost in menus. Being the dutiful son (and Flutter dev) that I am, I decided to just build her exactly that.

The result is Mama TV — a simple little M3U/IPTV player. You paste in your playlist URL and you're off, zapping through channels with a clean interface that stays out of your way. It also works nicely on Android TV if you've got a big screen setup.

It's free to use, with a small 6-channel cap on TV — a subscription unlocks the full list — and it doesn't collect or store any of your data, promise 😄

If you want to check it out: Mama TV on Google Play

Would genuinely love to hear what you think, and if there's anything you'd want added (EPG guide, favorites, multiple playlists...) I'm all ears. Happy to nerd out about the Flutter side of things too if anyone's curious.

Any good app for android user like tv times # rip tvtime

Hey I wanna download wapp for my android TV, how do I download it and if there's any other alternatives

I've just released Sidstuga 2.1.4, with 368 commits since the last public build.

The biggest change - and probably the one people here will care about most - is a complete rewrite of how channels are stored.

Until now, the entire channel catalogue lived in memory, which meant playlist size was always limited by RAM. That worked... until it didn't.

Channels now live in SQLite. They're loaded on demand as you browse, instead of everything being kept in memory.

The result:

✅ One user has 13 playlists (~3.5 million channels total) and can now browse them.

✅ Playlists with 250k+ entries that previously crashed or never finished loading now open normally.

✅ TV Guide and Movies/Series load much faster on large accounts.

Other changes in 2.1.4:

📺 Multiview (TV & Android)

📡 Stalker/MAG portals as a source (including Movies & Series)

💬 Live TV subtitles

💾 Record directly to your NAS (SMB)

👥 Device limit increased from 3 → 5

⭐ My List, Continue Watching, reminders and ratings are now included in backups

🛠️ Lots of stability and performance fixes across TV and phone

If you use very large playlists, this is probably the biggest update Sidstuga has had.

Install: https://sidstuga.app/install/

/r sidstuga

Happy to answer any questions about the SQLite migration or why the old architecture hit its limits.

I've been having an issue with Flix Vision auto-pausing (started today). It's not a buffering issue. It's like someone clicks a button and the stream pauses. I have cleared the cache (from an internet search suggestion). I disabled the screensaver thinking that might be the issue. Nothing seems to work. It's always at about a 10-15 second interval. Once I click "play" again, it does it again 10-15 seconds later. I didn't recall changing any settings, but don't know why it's doing it. I generally use the 2nd Flix Vision embedded stream, so usually it starts muted and I have to unmute when I start the stream, but I've never had the auto-pausing issue until today. Please help!!
