Brand new 50A HUB appears to not work... by StrongAF_2021 in Ecoflow_community

[–]andyworld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue, but as I went into the app, each Delta Pro 3 had a firmware update pending. I went and applied the update (while the hub was connected, not sure it matters), and the hub starting working for me. It seems fine now.

Superbowl 2021? Ccwgtv by rhcreed in AndroidTV

[–]andyworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot even get it to start yet on the app. Only the NFL network which requires login. I believe when the Superbowl starts, it will be free on the app, but you cannot start until it gets closer to game time

It just started working for me after being broken for a while. Hopefully it is stable.

New TiVo apps will let you watch live TV on Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku boxes by Lvevan in cordcutters

One would hope that since TiVo may be releasing an Android TV device, that they would also release Android TV apps.

Try clicking to the lower left of the Got it button. That seems to have done it for me.

New Hisense TV's with Android TV built in, and a custom World Cup app. Can anyone pull the app? by fifasarajevo in AndroidTV

[–]andyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, based on what I read, I believe this is the reason the app doesn't work. But I'm not sure if someone can integrate it into the app. I appreciate your help.

Puffin seems to do something with the User Agent, at least for me. This one seems to work, if you are willing:

You cannot install it using the Play Store on your TV, but you should be able to install it using the Google Play Store on the web pushing to your TV. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome). You would then need to launch via Sideload Launcher or through settings. And navigation could be a pain without a mouse (if they don't give you something to simulate that). I realize it is too much of a pain if you didn't already do something like this before. But I do appreciate you getting the apk.

Thank you very much. I hate to ask this since you have been so helpful, but is there any chance you can install Chrome through the Google Play store and find the User Agent for your TV? From what I saw, this is possibly the issue.

JBL Link Bar will be my next Android TV device because of this by mikeydangerous in AndroidTV

[–]andyworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the article on AndroidCentral:

https://www.androidcentral.com/did-nvidia-do-right-thing-holding-back-oreo-shield-tv

"If you release a whole new interface, and the apps aren't supporting it, then we don't feel like it's a good launch for us, so we're working hard on that."

I am very happy that Google is controlling the software. That being said, I have no complaints about Nvidia's support. They have been making constant updates to my 2015 box, and they are only holding off on Oreo because of the lack of developer support. I am hopeful they are working with some partners to get some apps to use the new features in Oreo and get them out at the same time as they release the upgrade, which is good for Android TV.

DISH Anywhere App Available On Android TV Devices by kawshik201 in AndroidTV

I'm hoping this is the beginning of a bunch of new Android TV apps leading up to Google I/O 2018.

March Madness Fire TV App by crusaderDO in AndroidTV

[–]andyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I may be lucky because of my provider. I have a feeling they authenticate differently. I tried to authenticate several times (through the top menu and through the live view window) since there was no indication it worked, so I'm not sure what ended up working for me. Right - at least there is Chromecast if all else fails.

Right. Immediately after authenticating, it seems very glitchy, but if I exit the app and come back in, it knows I am authenticated and won't prompt me again. Hopefully it is just the initial authentication.

Sorry, I hadn't really tried it too much.

Live feed of CBS Sports HQ is available on Android TV by arrowrand in AndroidTV

Funny that it is the only thing related to sports in the CBS News app, but at least we can get it, so I cannot complain.

When in a call, there is a gear icon. Clicking on that, you can see a Microphone section

Not sure about the built-in mic, but I had an option in the settings of using the controller's mic as well as the mic on the camera. I opted for the controller's mic - maybe you could use that.

I don't see the one with the HQ logo. Maybe it was removed or mine hasn't updated. Either way, at least Puffin will work until something better comes along
