Buy nwo? #GoogleTV typo

Because I simply don’t have enough dumb streaming sticks/devices I just HAD to go out and get another one today. The wife has a small 1080p TV in the chick cave to watch news and whatnot while working. And she’s been happy with her #FirestickMax. But I had a problem with it. We’ve been gravitating more to the #GoogleTV/#AndroidTV world and both of our new TVs by default use that. Different front end than a #FireStick. I wanted her to have GoogleTV on the chick cave unit so when I heard that Staples were flushing out older #Chromecast HDs I went hunting them down. In store clearance only. And I got one today. Only $12! A little slower of a device but now her recently watched crap can persist across multiple tellies.

I have like six or seven Firesticks here gathering dust now. Not exaggerating. I truly need an intervention.

Got the top of the line #AppleTV yesterday. Played with it for a few hours and here are my initial thoughts.

TLDR: IMO it's not as good as #GoogleTV.

It starts quick, but my TV with GTV starts literally as quick. GTV's main interface shows more - properly integrates liveTV and YTTV now-playing. Can't see YTTV or liveTV on ATV's interface at all. Currently watching on GTV shows Netflix shows. NF not shown at ALL on ATV. ATV can switch to a stack of gigantic icons like a huge iPad, but GTV shows apps in a row which is more ergonomic IMO. GTV app on TV or phone allow easy finding and addition of shows to watchlist. ATV's add to Up Next is clunkier. Remote looks good but feels bad - Amazon Fire Remote Pro feels SO much better. Cannot install KODi!

Positives: ATV remote's main button is a trackpad(!) When you go into a text field on ATV, it autopops a keyboard on your phone → type on phone and appears on TV - nice! In-app experiences are identical. Not worth premium >$100. More soon.

Tips: Har du en Chromecast med Google TV och vill ändra vad knapparna på fjärrkontrollen gör? Ladda ner kostnadafria appen Button Mapper.

Jag har precis ändrat så att Netflixknappen på min fjärrkontroll startar SVT Play (TV4 play om jag håller in knappen). Sjukt smidigt!

Appen ska fungera på alla mäjliga Androidenheter, så du kan även mappa om hårdvaruknapparna på din mobil eller surfplatta, om du vill. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton #chromecast #googletv #android #app #tips

God damn you, peer pressure and deal monkeys furiously flagellating yourselves on bargain threads extolling the virtues of this blasted thing. I didn’t need an #AppleTV 128Gb gen 3, but Costco have them on special for $99 right now. $45 off. So I bought one. I DID NOT NEED ONE. I love #GoogleTV. And #Firestick, for that matter. And you can’t even install Kodi on it. Nnnnnnnnrrrrgh.

For those who DO need one though, jump on this deal immediately, it’s really good. Essentially the best or the second best (nVidia Shield?) streaming device in existence. Slick as a bastard, if the forums speak true.

Why have a separate app for #AudioDescription? It should be on #TVNZPlus as long as you have the setting enabled on #AppleTV #GoogleTV. Able and TVNZ+ have partnered to launch a New Zealand library in the international audio description Earcatch app, enabling on demand access. https://www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/132737422/new-earcatch-app-gives-audio-description-users-freedom-to-access-more-local-content-when-it-suits-them?cid=app-iPhone

#GoogleTV interface > #FireTV. I didn’t care one way or the other for a while, but honestly, the fact that GTV collects your last-watched show from every one of your streaming apps - #AppleTV, #Netflix, #Hulu etc - and puts them all into the handy Continue Watching bar, whereas FireTV only collects this info from #PrimeVideo and #Starz (for some reason), is so damn convenient. For the moment, purely for this feature alone, I’ve swapped from #FireStick to the built in GTV interface on my TV.

Do any of you use a Google Nest Mini with a Chromecast? Mine stopped playing what I ask on Google TV and I have no idea how to fix it. After I ask to play something on my tv it says “Sure here’s [whatever] on [Netflix, Disney+, etc..] on tv”. And then “Sorry, I didn’t understand.” 🤷‍♀️ #GoogleNest #Chromecast #GoogleTV

Are there weather apps for #AndroidTV / #GoogleTV?

Oh wow... #Disney just killed the #FOXNow app on #GoogleTV

I don't blame them, it's like 50% #FoxCorp content and 50% #Disney-owned content

Aha; it seems that #PLEX supports third-party #HDR tone mapping to #SDR online in the #PlexPass.

So the issue was probably not that #PLEX doesn't support tone mapping, but that #Roku doesn't support tone mapping natively. #AndroidTV / #GoogleTV must support it natively, so it did it on its own once it received the video content.

@king_dead Like an #AndroidTV or #GoogleTV?

@Jain @sj_zero What's wrong with the video tho, if the #GoogleTV is a good alternative

@Jain What's wrong with a $40-$50 #GoogleTV / #Chromecast? That's what I got and it works fine

#Thunderflix eine #Streamingplatform auf der es NUR um #Metal geht. Kostenpunkt: 6,66$ wenn monatlich bzw. 66,60$ wenn jährlich abgebucht wird. Für mich hat Thunderflix einen kleinen Schönheitsfehler, es gibt keine Möglichkeit es via App auf #GoogleTV zu nutzen. Via #Browser finde ich aber doof und Smartphone- & Tabletdisplay sind mir einfach zu klein. Da spielen meine Augen einfach nicht mit.
