The only issue I've found so far is the audio will cut out and the only way I can get it back is by rebooting the onn box. I haven't spent much time troubleshooting because it's only happened a few times in the month I've had it.
Side note. I'm mostly a lurker, but I'm at ls2 daily.
Settings:
ONN device preferences: make sure surround is set to auto not manual.
Kodi, under Audio enable passthrough and enable all the decoding types after you open up the options by going into advanced.
I guess I had confused my ONN previously with my plethora of audio choices I kept changing which led to it clipping the audio. I wish there was a way to hard reboot this guy w/o resorting to digging into my rats nest of a media cabinet and unplugging it.
Still gonna return the ONN, the Tivo's remote feels better in my hand. Either would work fine though.
Pretty crazy, as a proof of concept I enabled 4 football streams and they played, lol. Felt like I was in a war room. A bit of buffering, so either need to hard wire or see if I can "degrade" the 3 channels that weren't at the for front. I'm using Tivimate Pro/Premium.
I was being a tad snarky, but I'm all in on Plex. I'm not going to switch to Kodi just to play AAC files in 5.1. I'll stay in the Roku ecosphere for now. Only reason I was looking outside Roku was their constant feuds with content providers (HBOmax, YouTube, Amazon Prime feud coming next year)....I just wanted options.
If someone knows a way to get Plex to force 5.1 AAC audio to play in 5.1 on Chromecast I'm all ears.

My receiver is old as hack so I dont expect it to work, but my LG TV has simplink which I supposed it means HDMI CEC so I thought if the power button is HDMI CEC, it would power off the streaming box and then TV itself (nope). Mapping it to the TV's power (infrared) would power the tv off, but not the streaming box itself (still white LED light).
Side note. I'm mostly a lurker, but I'm at ls2 daily.
I had turned off my HDMI CEC junk on my tv. So I had to turn it back on.
Then in the ONN I set the power button to control TV (CEC), other options were TV Vizio or AVR Sony.
Now it works. Hitting the power button on the ONN will turn everything (streamer, tv, avr) on or off.
Google Android TV could really be more verbose on the screen with what each option is and give sample scenarios for everything, along with common pitfalls and trouble shooting tips. When 3 devices are trying to tango it's hard trying to troubleshoot or figure out the necessary setup needed.
"Buy an Android TV device and get 6 months of Peacock Premium at no extra cost".
Is this a new offer or was already included?
I see it on the page now.
