Netflix for Android TV - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i recently bought an unbranded Androit tv
The Android TV does not have google apps installed but it has Aptoid TV.
I installed netflix for android devices (eg tablets) and it works fine but you will need a mouse to control some functions.
I have also installed netflix for android tv but when you open the app it gives me error (-100) that it cannot connect to netflix servers and will not let me sign in.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

[Q] Solution for XMBC on Android TV

So my parents bought a Philips 48pfs8109/12 Smart TV (Android).
I want to set up something like Kodi so i can simplify the UI of the mediacenter we have, and to have them control the TV with the ipad.
I first looked at plex and tought i found the solution. So i bought a chrome cast and set everything up. The problem that occurred was that the video stutterd a lot because for some reason the streaming over wifi is not doing what is should do.
I do not think it is our internet speed since we have a decent connection and download and upload speed.
So since our TV is hooked up to the internet via Ethernet i wanted to use the TV as a receiver.
But the plex app kept asking for a PlexPass so that wasn't a solution either.
Then my eye caught XBMC or as it is called now Kodi but i cant find a way to set it up on my android tv.
I have rooted my tv, which i think means i can install unknown sources.
Maybe if i install the kodi android file on my tv. I will try that later today.
But if anyone knows a better way
PS: I also saw plexbmc and plexbmc helper which is nice because my parents like the plex ipad app.
Thanks in advance!
Install spmc from Google Play

Now TV App for Nexus Player (UK)

Hi Guys,
Apparently, the Nexus TV player in the UK has a Now TV App. I was wondering if anyone will be able to provide me with the apk for the app. I tried sideloading the one from the Google Play store, but it loads sideways and I cannot navigate it using the remote. I am hoping this won't be the case with the Now TV app on the UK Nexus Player.
Any one at all? Pretty Please
It is apparently pre-installed on the UK version of the nexus player if that helps?
i'm in the UK and there is no NowTV app for the nexus player in the play store.
there is also no pre-installed app either.
I am in the UK as well and can confirm there is no preinstalled app, if there was one I think this would make me subscribe to the service.
ive only just picked an NP, updated to android 8 'O' and sideloaded a few apps after installing forced landscape app to fix the portrait display of now tv, all4 & itv hub.
i have the latest now tv app running fine apart from errors when i try playing a show. logs in fine & displays full menu & navigates well with mouse. i'm gonna try a fire tv fixed app to see if that works.
unfortunately i had All 4 working completely until this evening when i got an update notice with forces me to the store with no means of updating. itv hub has never worked & iplayer works without issue. a real mixed bag.
thank god it's got chromecast function otherwise i'd be furious with this very limited device. rooting seems inevitable.

Youtube pair help (T95Z plus)

Hi,
I need help with youtube for android tv 1.3.11/1.3.8, I can't pair my phone to cast on my box. I don't have option in settings to pair a device nor does my youtube app recognize any device where to cast.
I know i can cast with kodi and yatse but Im asking for casting from youtube app to youtube for android tv.
I found on this forum I should install google cast receiver but nothing changes, app is installed but thats it.
I hope someone can help me
You need a mod of Google cast receiver or install it at system level. There are tutorials i found but i cant test them because i dont have a tv box.

Is this a clone of another more known tv box? (x-view droidbox)

Hi there
For many reasons my parents ended up with 2 of this device:
http://x-view.com/audio-video/droid-box
ITs an AMLogic s905 (1gb ram, 8gb storage) device that SHOULD be compatible with the android tv remote (stated on their site).
I updated it right away, and noticed that the playstore and netflix apps on the original firmware were really different from what i know, but after the update they are most likely phone/tablet apps.
Never tested playing a video in netflix or using the remote app on the original firmware.
I would love to update it to something... better ,since now they CAN watch netflix (phone app), but controlling it is a nightmare.
Youtube is the leanback one, and i had to manually update it cause the stock one crashed each time video buffered, and the updated one pauses A LOT (not an internet problem, it works fine on pcs and phones on the same house).
Just getting the android tv control app would fix their netflix woes (i have the youtube issuse with the second device, they dont watch it).
Tried installing a moded netflix for android tv, and it can be controlled ok, but since its widevine L3 device it plays only 1 second or so.
i was able to restore the original firmware.
Now most apps are the android tv ones, and the remote app from google works.
Netflix is still the phone app, and control still sucks on it XD
Hi, could you solve the Netflix issue?

Nope, still using the Netflix phone app that is a pain to control without a mouse.
I did get an Nvidia shield TV 2017 for my living room tho [emoji14]
