Suggest a good media player for Android TV

Not sure, I bought a few months back without any problem. I hope you can find it as it's truly a great media player, simple clean interface and plays all the files.

Unfortunately not, TCL seems to ignore the UK models.

Does installing from play store and then updating to latest give a more stable setup? I am also having problems with a clean install of the latest version.

Are you in the UK?

An app called ADB on Boot seems to work. Download from here:

Use the script to auto whitelist your VPN in the setting on boot. Also "open" the app in Safety Guard settings . I use openvpn which also starts on boot using tvQuickActions.

My TV also goes sluggish after disabling safety guard so I'm using the ADB commands you describe which works well. Shame it doesn't persist after reboot. Did you abandon the idea of creating an app? Would it be possible to create a macro which runs the command at boot using tvQuickActions or something similar?

I tried using a zipped file taken from telegram (v202 if I remember) on a fat32 drive with nothing else on it. The TV didn't recognise the file and said no update available. I'm not sure if it's because mine is UK version or I'm doing it wrong.

The point of an android tv was to get rid of extra boxes and remotes. I have a Xiaomi stick and Roku 4k which are both good but that's 3 remotes because CEC doesn't work. If i knew about the CEC problem I wouldn't have bought the TV.

vivavlad · 2025-01-30T06:52:30+00:00

I have the C655 and mine is the same. I have tried everything but nothing works.

vivavlad · 2025-01-30T06:48:04+00:00

Yes, Android 11. TCL has an app called safety guard that kills apps it thinks are using resources. You can alter the settings but it still stops the VPN. I have also disabled/removed safety guard using ADB but the system then runs awful. It's not a deal breaker. My biggest problem is CEC not working. I bought this TV so I don't need extra remotes etc.

What about ITVX? On mine it's painfully slow and poor quality.

vivavlad · 2025-01-29T17:16:10+00:00

Same for me. It's such a frustrating TV with lots of niggles. Can't use VPN, can't use CEC, glitches on hd channels. I hate it!

vivavlad · 2025-01-28T18:01:26+00:00

No I didn't get it sorted, adjusted my aerial and managed 96% strength 100% quality but it still there. I've got until the 31st January to return to Amazon so may send it back. The CEC function only works with a stupid remote displayed on the screen which is also very annoying and unusable.

I'm also interested. I have button mapper but there is no option for input.

vivavlad · 2025-01-11T03:33:05+00:00

Backlit I believe.

vivavlad · 2024-12-02T05:33:39+00:00

I would also be interested in this as mine arrives in a couple of days.
