Not finding much launchers for my ugoos um2.
Anyone have any solutions?
Also has anyone had any luck with getting YouTube lean back working so that I can queue videos with my android device to the TV stick.
Utorrent would be nice if I could queue files from my android mobile to the TV stick also. Anyone got this working?
Thanks

launchers...
Can you please describe this problem further? When I search for home screens or launchers in google play store, I get 2 or 3 that seem good for display on televisions such as this one "TVLauncher". Is this what you are talking about?

YouTube leanback... Utorrent...
I'm not sure if apps in one android device can control another android device the way you want... Maybe if the control device runs the app, while the other device to be controlled runs a browser in 'desktop' mode (not Chrome) and browses to an appropriate web address such as youtube.com/leanback or remote.utorrent.com but this seems awkward. So basically I recommend to try a remote control app that is designed for android-to-android control, such as "Tablet Remote".

Whatever happens, I recommend to opt-in for HTML5 player in youtube.com/html5 so as to minimize use of Flash player. Otherwise, install Flash player app on all android devices that will play youtube and other online videos.
Cheers.

Hello everybody,
I have bought new MATE 9 and i have discovered problem to connect it to my TV Philips 55PUS7181 via mirrorshare.
Both devices are connected to the same wi-fi, also googlecast function with youtube is working, but I cant connect it together via mirrorshare, that I can see mobile desktop on the TV.
It started to look for aviable devices, but my TV is not visible there. I have also tried to install some aplication from Google store for desktop sharing and there it is working, but connection is not stabil, for example video playing ist clicking.
I tried to ask Philips and Huawei customer service, but without answer.
Im really angry because I bought a phone for 700 Eur and i cant use it for sharing !
Has somebody the similar problem or can somebody help me ?
thanks a lot.

What exactly are you trying to Mirror? Videos to play from your phone or watch movies? Or are you trying to just show your screen to show pictures, etc? If it's videos, download Bubble UPnP. It works very well for casting. Click on the left pull down arrow where it shows Local Renderer and select your Phillips TV as default. Then try playing a video to cast.
I have same problem with Sony TV. 4k video have problem. Pictures show only black screen. Mirror screen when working not show in horizontal orientation. On my another phone Nubia Z11 works everything. Mate 9 very bad experience.

Is this Philips TV an Android smart TV?

No issues with my Android TV boxes, Vizio or Samsung box.

Yes it is Android smart TV Philips 55PUS7181.
Have the same problem with Sony Android Tv, using MirrorShare option from taskbar
Even if your Android TV says there are no updates available try opening the PlayStore and searching for 'Google Cast Receiver'. I did and sure enough there was an updated version.
This might be totally unrelated to your problem but it did fix some issues I was having casting from my Mate 9 to a brand new Sony Android TV.

Mate 9 definitely works with Chromecast protocol so if TV works with Android TV it should work
I have the same issue with a Philips 55PUS6561/12 TV and with a Huawei P9 phone. Youtube's Cast for example works perfectly fine, but the phone's Mirrorshare function cannot find my TV. Has anyone found a solution to this?

I tried it on the Amazon Fire TV. The app loaded and functioned, just couldnt load a webpage with it. After typing in a web address and pressing enter, it would just return to the app homepage.
Any suggestions?

Very strange... Do you use built-in address bar (shown on top after pressing "back" button) or you use editbox on homepage?
This app comes very close to being what I need.
I have a Mecool M8S Pro+ that I want to use to watch iPlayer on.
I have not had much luck using Kodi, and using any other way requires using a mouse and or keyboard.
So I tried your browser and I was very happy to see that I can now load iPlayer using the remote control!
But... when trying to view anything, there is just a black screen. Now this is something to do with how codecs are implemented in the system, I think.
I also tried different user agents, using the iPad user agent I can load the video, but it is too choppy to be watchable.
Using a user agent which simulates and older android device, iPlayer tries to redirect to a streaming app, BBC media player.
It does it through and address like intent://[appnamehere] but your browser does not seem to support this.
Basically what I am saying is, can you somehow adapt the browser so the engine is like Chrome and or can you add support for intent:// functionality to be able to open installed apps?
Interesting. Will need to check this out now that Puffin Browser is going to paid subscription model.
Installed and like what I see so far, nice recent addition of ad blocking.
Any chance of getting some sort of chrome/firefox extension for pushing tabs from a paired computer?
I installed this app on my Mi Box two months ago, as soon as puffin asked for a subscription.
It was literally perfect, with fluid and fast navigation.
Unfortunately one week ago the app stopped to load my favourite website for streaming, it was so sad.
I searched this on android tv playstore but it's not there so i have to sideload the apk
Does this have an auto update feature? It's not in the play store.

Hi do you think this is related to version 1.5.8 or not?
Thanks for your browser.
Hi there. I'm trying to play video from www.foxplay.com. After the video loads (or seems to load) and I click play, I get this notification: The web page wants to use following resources: android.webkit.resource.PROTECTED_MEDIA_ID.
I click on allow and the time bar starts running, but I got only a black screen without sound.
Is there anything to do on my side, to fix this issue?
The site works ok with firefox for fire tv, in desktop mode, but it is a PIA trying to do anything in that browser without the menu key.
Thanks in advance.
Working with remote, Thanks!
Hello everyone, the browser is great! The only thing I really miss in contrast to the Puffin Browser is the ability to scale down the page size. Is the browser still being actively developed? Is it possible to build in the function?
Works great than other browsers i've tried, very stable. No crashes on my sony bravia. Pointer is smooth. Adblocker needs to me more aggresive. Still getting redirect pages. A dark mode option. And player controls.
Bonjour
pouvez-vous ajouter une option pour le lancement au démarrage ?
c'est vraiment très sympa l'appli
I love TV Bro for the Mi Box.
I wonder if anyone has attempted to add something like UBlock to TV Bro ?
UBlock is brilliant at immediately closing new tabs that are being opened by Advertising sites et al.
UBlock is also open-source (see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin ) so I imagine
it would not be too difficult for a telented TV Bro developer to add such a feature to TV Bro......... PLEASE
If such a feature already exists on TV Bro I would be delighted if someone would point me to it

Very good TV-Browser, would be nice if it had a channel on Android TV Start page, could show book marks or history or both (2 Channels).
Hello ,The trick works on the galaxy s8 and s8 +, with any official youtube version.
To be able to do the youtube trick in the background without root, do the following:
● Open the application in the normal way.
● Select the video of your choice.
● leave the video playback.
● Go to the beginning, without closing the multitasking.
□ Here are two options to activate youtube in the background:
1-Through the play button of the headphones that we have connected to the phone.
● Close the default music player on your phone, since it is activated; When you press the play button on the headphones, the music player will be activated and youtube will not be activated.
2-Lock the screen and move the clock widget to the left, the youtube widget appears on the play button and ready; This option works without headphones or headphones.
◇Important never close youtube in multitasking.
□Luck ^-^.

Not really, app is very lightweight and is way mkre convenient to use without relying on any bugs in the system. It also lets you download the videos in multiple qualities.

If it wasn't a bug, why would Google make it a paid option included in youtube red subscription? Windows phone doesnt even have an official app for youtube so developers have implented it into their apps long before it was a thing on Android. I havent had an iOS device but a friend of mine confirms that the official youtube app doesnt support background play either so he has to use either Safari or some third party app.

why not youtube red. i havent paid for youtube red since it started. they always offer 4 month of googlemusic which include youtube red. just switch to different email. i have 3 gmail and i have been rotating everytime one expires. it says is for new user but if uhavent use the same email for over 6 month it will let u reuse it
YouTube red is not available in most countries.
It doesn't work on latest update S8 stock ROM...EU
Hello
I have bought a Xiaomi Mi Box S.
MX Player Pro has subtitles bottom margin blocked. Cannot change subtitles position on screen.
Obviously, I have tried on several files with which I can change subtitles position on screen on my phone and tablet. So files are OK, problem is with MX Player Pro on Xiaomi Mi Box S.
Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks.
You can use mouse to drag the subtitle position on Android TV. But developer should be implement an easy way to do it on TV by normal remote controller.
