I've 2 new Android TVs (Android 11) from different brands, and during the 1st power-on, several questions were raised and the search of channels and Internet was configured. However, I skipped to step of setting up a Google account. At the moment, the TV is working, but I can't see any option to set up a favorite list of channels. Unexpectedly, from Home, "Settings", "Channel", I can see only: - Parental controls - Open source licenses - Version In the past with other Android TV, I was able to set favorite channels without adding a Google account. Is there any option to manage channels?

This is the log I got from adb logcat when the TV is at sleep mode:

ADB is highly possible to be disconnected after the last line is printed. Android version: 10 Kernal version: 4.19.75 Because everytime this happens I see different PID for PowerHAL, I guess the TV is actaully being rebooted fequently? Does anyone know what could possibly be the reason, or how can I troubleshoot this issue?

Is there an app to play videos from Netflix and Hulu for the Android?

I have an Android mini-pc connected to a television through a HDMI cable. I use Tasker to automatically start playing an mp4 video using MX Player when the device boots. MX Player then continues to play all the videos from the same folder in a random order and on a loop. (the task contains one action - **Open File** - under **File** I have the path to the mp4 file ) The problem is I then have Tasker set to play another mp4 video (from another directory) using MX Player one hour after the device has booted but MX Player ignores this and continues to play the current video. (the second task is the same as the first- it contains one action - **Open File** - under **File** I have the path to the mp4 file ) The reason why I need to use MX Player (instead of BS Player, VLC etc.) is because it has more options than the other players like the option to play all the videos in the same folder in shuffle and on a loop, resize the video so it fills the screen, play each video from the beginning and hide the video controls from the screen. I have also tried using the Tasker action **Send Intent** - *Action: android.intent.action.VIEW* - *Data: path to mp4 file* - *Package: com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad* - *Target: Activity* But this produced the same results - As MX Player was playing a video this task would run telling it to play a video and MX Player would ignore it and continue to play its current video. Is there any way of getting Tasker to play a video using MX Player while MX Player is currently playing another video?

Besides buying the Google Chromecast HDMI stick, is there a way to mirror the content from an Android KitKat device to a "dumb" (i.e. not "smart") HDMI Television? Solutions using Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Blu-Ray players, or other devices are welcome. The simpler, the better.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. I would like to mirror the screen on my TV but I could not find TV-out in the Settings. How can I do this?

With my Sony Xperia Z1, I can use NFC to "pair" it to Sony TVs to broadcast what is being displayed on my phone on the TV screen as well. I would like to do this however I don't have a Sony TV. Is it possible to use an app or set up streaming so I can view my screen on my TV? I have a typical "dumb" tv connected to a Western Digital Live Hub which can access the videos/media stored on my phone without issues (supports DLNA) over my wireless network.

My Samsung Galaxy S has settings for TV-out, but I don't see anywhere to plug any cord from the phone to the TV. How can I connect it to my TV?

I have a somewhat fancy tv that supports an external wi-fi module. If you connect that to the tv, you'll be able to stream media from a pc or other compatible device. At which point I thought, is there a way to consume that stream with an Android device? I have searched google play, there's a fair amount of tv apps that are just shortcuts to some online tv websites. I don't want that, the idea is to watch exactly what I have on my tv, turning my phone into a portable tv. What I imagine is a server box connected to the tv cable that streams it over WiFi, and then there's an app on my phone that consumes the stream. I understand that may involve a combination of software and hardware that would need to be purchased. Happy with that, just can't figure what it would be. Have done my Google homework to no avail. Please advice if there's a solution for that, or whether it's feasible at all.

Any idea how can I connect my Samsung Galaxy Mini to Sony KDL-22EX320 Bravia tv? I cannot get it to show up as a USB device. The tv manual also mentions the possibility of browsing wifi devices but I have no idea how to set up wifi connection between them. Please note I don't want to connect my phone to tv as described here , I just want to get pictures straight off of my phone onto the tv screen.

My plan would be to allow me to connect my Android to my TV by USB, and then be able to play videos/audio from my Computer that is mounted over wifi on my Android. Is this currently possible, or is there a better way that I can accomplish this task (using only a USB cable/wifi and not having to copy files to my Android) Thanks for any advice :D
