Anyone wanting to "JAILBREAK" this don't spend all your time trying to input ADB code, you can if that's your thing but I would rather get to using this right away, download POJECTIVY LAUNCHER (https://play.google.com/store/app...n_US&pli=1). It does all the programming in the background so you don't have to. It's FREEMIUM Launcher available directly from the play store but well worth the $7-8 bucks to change wallpaper and extra features. It already makes the launcher the default screen when hitting the home button for free using accessibility permissions. If you want to take it to another level also get Button Mapper and change the buttons on the remote to open something else. Don't forget to click BUILD VERSION 5 times... Located in system > about to activate developer settings. Notable addons and mentions are obviously DOWNLOADER, MOONLIGHT REMOTE GAME STREAMING from PC, CX EXPLORER to sideload APKS via network, SMARtTUBE - zero add youtube app (28544 downloader code), STREMIO (with Premiumize. STAY AWAY from Real-debrid, they turned on their clients), Fosmon Mini Bluetooth Keyboard, & the TRENDnet 2.5G USB-C to RJ-45 Ethernet Adapter (Built in ethernet only does 100mb/s.) I have EVERY STREAMER from apple tv to nvidia shield (TUBE & PRO), roku, firesticks, and chromecasts.. This IS the best bang for buck android tv at this price as of 12/2024. New On version pending in 2025 to replace Google TV 4K Streaming Box - ONN 4k pro plus (- this version only has 2gb so still not an alternative for this): https://www.androidtv-guide.com/s...google-tv/
I bought this yesterday. I highly recommend the Launcher "Projectivy Launcher" to replace the default launcher. Removes all the ads and let's you customize your screen as much or as little as you want. Removes all the bloat from Google TV. You can download it from the app store.
10/100 is a reasonable cost-saving measure for a streaming device. 4K streaming only requires about 15-20 Mbps. 100 Mbps is plenty for streaming media over the internet or even over a LAN. The only time you'd get the benefits of gigabit is if you're downloading/transferring large files, which device isn't really designed to do and most people don't do often on their streaming devices.

If you're ripping your own 4K Blu-rays, 100 Mbps is definitely not enough. I have discs that go over that with just the video, not even counting the audio and the rest of the overhead.
This has such good reviews, but right out of the box, there's a noticeable audio lag on all apps. Has anyone else noticed that? Can't find anyone else complaining, about it, which is driving me mad. Didn't happen with my previous streaming box.
I have mine on an Onkyo receiver and Epson 4k laser, no discernable lag
However, I had other problems. It would sometimes just become jerky (like losing fps). If I backed out of the video playing into the app and played again, it was gone.
Also, "always hdr" thing is strange. if I turn it off, my 1080p content becomes jerky. If I turn it on, the 1080p content is a little bit washed out. I have frame rate matching setting turned on for my OLED TV.
My AppleTV had lots of audio lag issues.But, it was different for different files and apps. After a TV update and AppleTV update, it seems to have gone away but still have weird frame skips.
Same issue here with the jerky video. Have you figured out a fix?

In for one, getting real tired of my Fire sticks running out of storage. 10/100 ethernet is a puzzling choice though since gigabit's been the norm for many years, I imagine 100mbps will barely be adequate for 4K streaming.
What the deuce?! Did not even notice that... I'm using wifi 6 though...

Does projectivity have the 'resume' from last app feature in the home screen?
Google tv launcher is clunky and fat but I like the resume from Netflix, YT, prime. Etc
Great player, great price. Word of caution: this only supports atmos for DTS encodings, not TrueHD. No real mention of this, so it's pretty much a dealbreaker for me. Can't beliece the 2019 Shield is still the best option for audiophiles.
Can this stream local video files from a NAS or PC without needing to run a media server such as Plex?
Yes, this why I have KODI installed. I have library of my own BLU Ray/DVD rips and home videos that I can stream local content. Setup SMB connection in KODI, have SMB to my Nvidia Shield which has Hard Drive connected and shared out and also Windows 11 that also has USB external hard drive shared out.

This thing has sound issues with Dolby Atmos...have to never play surround sound to fix the crackling and sound drops..seems like pretty widely known issue as well.
