Hey, I'm just info seeking. I would like to know if it is possible to port the android TV version of Netflix to other devices. I currently use a rooted Ouya as a set top box. The standard Netflix app simply doesn't cut it on a 40" HDTV. And if it's not possible are there any other ways to get HD out of Netflix on an android device.

It seems that all the Android TV apps are designed to only run with the Android TV Launcher, which unfortunately only works on Nexus Player. Hopefully someone will be able to mod it and make it run on other Android Settop boxes. I have a Matricom G-Box Q and it is totally awesome for Kodi, but like all other android settops, can't use the Android TV apps.

Same problem here with my matricom box. Does a TV layout version of Netflix for Android not exist? Are they all touchscreen based except the Android TV ones that cannot run on a settop box?

Is this still being worked on? I installed it on a Razer Forge, and it lets me browse (which is more than I could say for the official APK), but whenever I try to watch a video, I get a "CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE" error.

razer forge is not a Widevine Level 1 certified device, meaning it will not play netflix in HD only SD, the android TV version of netflix will not function without HD keys

Check the app drawer Gf got Samsung note and there's an app called all share
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA
There must be an All Share application in the app drawer..
I havr an allshare play icon,, but it only allows to access nearby media files
According to the videos I saw about Allshare cast,, the option should be found in the settings where I took the screenshot provided in the main post
go to the video player and play a video and search for options from there on
What's the firmware ?

I have a feeling that you will need the All Cast Dongle accessory in order to stream your screen. I have no proof of this and it should work without on a Samsung SmartTV - I was certainly hoping it would work without as we recently bought a SmartTV.
Apologies for side tracking but what is the phone like?

Actually it could be possible that it works by the TV or dongle registering itself on the WiFi network it's using, and only presenting the option to the phone if a smart tv/dongle is found?
Atleast i found it mighty suspicious that they could only find one TV at the demos, there must've been more than just one right? Unless they were all on different networks.

It seems that ROM shipped with the device doesn't have this feature,, or samsung will provide an update when the dongle is available
Wots the nearby devices do/show if you press on it
And maybe its like a Bluetooth connection you have to make both tv and phone visable to each other then pair them
There should be some instructions lol

I think you need that dongle as I see they were mirroring the video on a Samsung TV using that dongle.
I think there is another AllShare Play which probably acts like a cloud solution.

You said your television is an XBR950 model, so it should support Miracast. Go on-line to Sony Support and download a manual for your television and read how to enable the Miracast feature.

Unfortunately, the KDE-55XBR950 is the (no offense intended) economy plasma version of the XBR950 models which does not have the Miracast feature. Nor does it have Ethernet capabilities. Your only choice for playing videos from your XTZ on your television is by connecting a MHL to HDMI adapter between the XTZ and the television.

If your tv is capable here's how to : https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43134/kw/screen mirroring/c/65,66/related/1
I can only use wifi direct for playing media wirelessly on Bravia, I can't use screen mirroring without the IM750.

UPD: I found a translated description of this TV box here
I think it is quite good TV Box.
Hmmm 1GB ram & 4GB rom don't bother with this there's just not enough memory to do anything + way over priced too.
The remote looks cool though I would say this is ment for the Chinese market
got it yesterday and was my biggest mistake to buy it,i would not recommend to anyone this one cause is in Chinese language and there was no warning at all on gearbest.com that this item does not have English lang,going to take it back and order another one and better
can change to english very easy
i recommend tis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-6qkn6awJQ to change to English. go to http://assets.sfcdn.org/apk/com.shafa.market/236/d4b163f/com.shafa.market_4.5.6_international.apk copy to a usb drive and follow the youtube video. if you manage to change to English use the baidu keybord with eng .i hop this will help you. i have in stall kodi on this box its not bad i think.

Interesting the new Xiaomi Mi TV Box 3 Enhanced
The Xiaomi Box 3(S905) with one usb port only can also be rooted and works woth google apps also.
you just have to flash the .106 rom, then go setting change the language to English (because the .106 rom natively supports English) and then you can use kongoroot to root it via computer and USB to USB Cable after activating adb. once done you can install Gapps and change the default laucher and disable all the Mi bloatware , this way you can have more space and less ads on the device.

Hi guys
Can anyone who has this tell me if it has an IR receiver? I want to use it with a Logitech Harmony 650. The Logitech site lists it as a compatible device but I have my doubts as I know the remote uses bluetooth, and I've seen conflicting reports. Thanks!
I got one last weekend. I put my sunvell t95 on the top shelf of my closet. This is the box. It only has one USB port, I use a usb hub and a external hard drive, a usb to Ethernet adapter. The true Google experience is perfect on this box. Plus mobdro and kodi. I still want to root to do some build prop editing when someone figures out how to root this. The s905 cannot handle this box. It is the best buy around. Only thing I wish is if it was a Huawei box because they should have done more with there box. But Xiaomi and leeco have past them in the home entertainment market.

5 Very Useful Apps For Android TV
Android TV is pretty great when you're using it with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu or if you're casting stuff from your phone. However you might have noticed that it's lacking a lot of interesting apps in its watered down version of the Play store. You'll skim through it really quick, realize there is nothing good and then you'll back out. Before you stick a fork in an electrical outlet due to disappointment, how about I show you some of these useful Android TV apps that don't get a whole lot of attention.
Sideload Launcher - Android TV
Most of us probably find ourselves sideloading a lot of apps onto Android TV to makeup for the lack of ones available on the Play store. Since the Android TV launcher only displays apps downloaded from the Play store, you can only access sideloaded apps through your settings. That's garbage. Fear not, Sideload Launcher takes care of that problem by replacing the stock launcher so you can see all of your apps.

[Root] TV Boot
I don't know why Android TV does not have a restart option. I always find myself in a situation where I need to restart my nexus player, so I have to get up and travel across my seemingly endless living room to unplug it. I had both my legs replaced with some really flimsy hollow plastic ones that collapse under my own weight whenever I try to use them. I should stop volunteering for those medical trials. Anyways the point is that the TV Boot app will let you restart or shutdown Android TV from your phone. That's really all there is to it. This will work on rooted devices only.
Download
Mirror Beta
Ever head of ClockworkMod? Of course you have. You've probably used their custom recovery at some point while modifying your phone. You've probably never heard of their Mirror app. This app lets you cast your Android screen to Fire TV, Chromecast or Apple TV. It also works as a screen recorder which comes in handy. It's one of the best apps for screen casting, especially if you have to use both an Apple TV and A Chromecast regularly.
Download
Notifications for Android TV
Notifications on your Android TV is a great way to broadcast to a room full of people that you're fighting with your girlfriend. This app will let you push any notifications that you'd receive on your phone right to your TV. You can scroll through every notified message on the Android TV in fullscreen mode. You can even change the settings individually for each application.

One of the big social media apps that is missing entirely on Android TV in instagram. With Santi, you'll be able to login with your account and browse the photos from the people you follow. The only feature this is missing the is ability to like posts or follow/unfollow users. Aside from that it's got everything you need!

Are these apps useful for live streaming like Football or Cricket match?

I think what you'll need for that is an app that streams live TV. These apps do exists but they'll only work through your TV provider. So if I have Comcast TV, I can download the Comcast app and get live TV that I can stream to my Nexus player. Check to see if your TV provider has an Android compatible app that lets you live stream TV.

Yah, this would be great. Then cable TV becomes a second-class citizen in your streaming environment, which is how it should be.
I really like top TV launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DXIDev.Top_TV_launcher

Steam Link (New Android TV App)
I have a great experience to use Android TV with YouTube. I would like to share another new Android TV app here:
Steam Link:
It is one of the top additions at Google Play Store in May 2018, through which user can stream from the Desktop or PC to Android device. It means, users can stream games directly from TV up to 4K Resolutions at 60 fps.
Tnx for the info
Hi everybody,
I managed to successfully port and build Maru OS for our Xiaomi Mi 8 based on Android 10 Lineage OS sources.
Everything is working perfectly and performance is really good in desktop mode.
Currently the only issue is that selinux is set to permissive and needs to be fixed for production ready builds.
Basically its an Android build with a LXC debian container built in. As soon as you activate screen sharing or hook up a DisplayLink dock, it starts the desktop environment onto the second screen. It's using a graphical bridge between Debian container and Android system which writes data directly to SurfaceFlinger. This makes the desktop experience extremely good and fluent (not comparable to VNC for example).

Great to hear that someone else also likes the idea of using the phone as desktop device.
Yes, I can do that. But first I need to prepare the Github repository as the source code needs to be fully published before releasing a ROM I think. Currently everything is setup locally for development and testing.
That 's great! Which adaptor are you using? Is there anyone with usb hub and charging simultaneously?

Since this phone doesn't support native HDMI output, you need to use a DisplayLink docking station which requires the DisplayLink application installed on the device. I'm using the HP USB-C Universal Dock (hsa-b005ds). If I remember correctly charging and using my mouse and keyboard simultaneously connected via USB worked without any problems.

Yes, you can use the Android in built screen sharing capability. But probably there will be some small delays due to network latency.
Ias it Avalible, I want to try it thanks.
Also keen to test.
@mtdshare Please share your build with us thanks. Or you could tell us the method you made this. I really want to try it out.

Just to be clear; you managed to use the displaylink dock as "secondary monitor", or did you just run the LXC container fullscreen with your display mirrored via displaylink?
I've been looking for a while to get displaylink to act as a secondary monitor rather than (half-assed) mirror my phone to my monitor. It would be really awesome to run (even the build-in android desktop) on a device with a displaylink dock attached.

Exactly, the LXC container is running on the external monitor via DisplayLink. At the same time you can use the Android system on the phone screen as usual.

Sorry for my late reply, I have been busy the last weeks. I will share the ROM or tutorial for compiling it very soon.

Thank you for responding.
It's really awesome you got it working like that! I've only seen this demo'd by DisplayLink themselves using a custom build rom they only want to provide to influencers and companies (source, see reply to top comment)
Would something like this also be achievable using magisk modules (or any other form of root method/drivers)? You would really be my superhero if you could help me out on achieving this.

You can also consider asking nicely (and not by spamming the thread.)
Also; he already said that he is and has been busy, have patience!
