quick question: is the Live Channels app now working natively with DVB or still ATSC only?
thanks

I found lot of commits according DVB support.
But, frankly speaking, i need to add our supported VID/PID to Live Channels app, otherwise USB Tuner source doesn't available for LiveTV app.
I will add this in next version and we will check together.

[dymekkk]

How about deinterlance int Live Channels app?

[voodik]

Update!

Fixed ATV Remote Service. Now it can work without Bluetooth hardware.
Added Enable/Disable option for OGST TFT display to Odroid Settings.
Added supported tunner VID/PID's to LiveTv app

Hi there!

I can't register my Google account because it's telling me that my device is not google supported. So I can't update the image. Any ideo how to do ?
Also, it doesn't look like Oreo tv, but like Oreo for mobile device.
I burnt this image : android-lineage-15.1-alpha-0.3-sd_installer-odroidxu4-2018-07-18.img.zip

Ho, I forgot ! Thanx for your work !

[hokoon]

Volume buttons on my remote won't work...
Select "Force HDMI audio output", audio pass-through is working with HDMI but sound also go to my remote (Mele F10).

This is very exciting. Thanks voodik!

My remotes volume buttons do not work either. They do work on LineageOS-14.1 ATV.

The microphone button on my remote does work to voice search but only if you click the on screen icon first. It would be fantastic if clicking the main screen icon first was not necessary.

[chippey5]

Awesome Voodik, cheers!

To anyone misunderstanding the instructions.

1. Download the normal LinageOS 15.1 image and flash it to your SD.
2. When booted, go to Odroid updater app, press Get latest version, then change the URL to the one latest Linage 15.1-ATV one, press download and just continue extract and flash.
3. When booted into ATV, go to settings -> Odroid Settings -> Activate ADB over network and restart your odroid. Go to your computer and make sure you have Android SDK (or minimal ADB, check XDA for that one).
4. Check which IP address your Odroid has been given. then on your computer, enter:

Code: Select all

adb connect *odroid_ip_address*

then the Google's command doesn't always work. Instead, do the following:

Code: Select all

adb root

Code: Select all

adb shell

Code: Select all

settings get secure android_id

Then your value is returned and is to be registered on https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/.

5. As said by the great Voodik himself:

Also after you register your Android framework ID, please wait some time (30-60 minutes) then reboot Odroid and try to add Google Account.

Hope this helps!

Great directions. I followed them and everything seemed to work anyway. But, I'm at about the two-hour mark and I'm still getting the error messages saying my device isn't good or whatever the message is if the machine doesn't like your Android framework ID. I tried the process again, but when I try to re-register my ID the linked website tells me the ID is already registered. How long should I give it before I get concerned that something else is wrong?

[a.artemev]

Same here, registered a device (both values returned from "settings get secure android_id" and from command suggested by google on that page "adb shell 'sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db "select * from main where name = \"android_id\";"'") but have no luck maybe i need to wait a little longer (more than 2h), will see...

[xflbret]

Well, been more than 9 hours for me. I went to bed, slept, woke up, rebooted, and it is STILL doing this to me. If I can't register it a second time, I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do here

Did it, rebooted, no effect. Tried the same thing on Google Play Services. Also no effect.

I think I'm going to have to give up now. I'm trying to make something simple out of my spare XU4 for my mom who I just checked into a nursing home yesterday. Her room doesn't have cable or anything so I wanted to make something with all her favorite movies on it to keep her entertained. I gotta move on to a different build to get this done. A shame, too. I was really looking forward to this working.

Hey guys, I got it to work for me and this is how I did it.
Apparently, you have to download a brand new gapps package. Lineage recommends mindthegapp. I applied it before installing android TV so I don't know if it would work after TV upgrade has already been applied.
download mindthegapp from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832236373 or put this URL in your odroid updater https://dc4.androidfilehost.com/dl/DcTA ... 153837.zip
download, extract and apply it then reboot.
Afterwards you should be able to log into Google apps, go to play store and uninstall updates. You should be able to download apps from playstore

Looks like the second link is expired so use the first link to find the download link you need

Odroid does not have a Recovery, so Odroid updater can't flash any zips. This all fake.

Your version of LOS ATV doesn't have the Odroid application built in?

[voodik]

Odroid updater only can flash our update packages.

[emperornovio]

Odroid updater only can flash our update packages.

I can't claim to know more than you but I had this problem, went to Android 8.1 forum, someone suggested mindthegapps, I put in the link in the odroid updater and boom it worked! Someone can follow the conversation from that forum. Before now I had tried everything but nothing seemed to work. I don't think it would hurt to try it. Odroid won't get bricked, if anything happens just reflash the memory card and start again.

Did you do this step?:

First install non ATV LineageOS-15.1 then add Google account and only after that update to ATV version.

The instructions I provided were the exact steps I took (and I added the google account, before updating to the ATV version through the odroid updater app). Try re-doing the installation with the steps again.

I can't get my Bluetooth to connect with any devices, I use the dongle advertised on the website. When I search for devices I can find them but can never connect. Also, the volume buttons on my air mouse don't work. Anything I can do or just wait for an update?

[redbird]

Three of us have posted about the volume buttons not working on the remote. Is there a work around?

I will try to check.

[mytime34]

Is there an option to install Android TV to a USB harddrive?
I have a 128gb SSD connected to the USB 3.0 port and would love to boot from it instead of the mSD

[a8ksh4]

Voodik, this is awesome! Thanks for all of your work on this.

I just got this working a few minutes ago (since google bricked my nexus player) and am trying to pair the nexus remote... does anyone know if there's a trick to this? The xu4 doesn't seem to detect it (holding home and back to pair).

[mad-murdock]

Since non-ATV version got an updated October Release, can we expect an updated ATV release anytime soon?

[a8ksh4]

I'm also curious if anyone has had success using a usb hub with this build. I have one that I use with my android phones/tablets when I need to plug in a couple of devices, but it isn't detected on the xu4.

[mad-murdock]

Neither youtube nor twitch ATV apps start playing video. While casting a youtube video starts playback.

Saved a dd disk image, will sure check this out if a new release comes around. Pretty interesting.

I have a four port USB 3.0 hub, works flawlessly. A flash drive, the wireless dongle and 2.4Ghz game pad dongle work simultaneously.

YouTube cast works great for me, only trouble is that I have to pair my phones every time but I just figured the fault was from YouTube

[alphanerd95]

Anyone had any luck with enabling Google Cast receiving ? the ATV is not acting as a Google Cast receiver. I'm not able to detect the TV on my Google Home app on my Android phone.

I then installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.mediashell, but still no luck. A "Google Cast" option should show up in settings menu of the ATV, but it doesn't.

Am I missing something here? Some additional config to do?

[emperornovio]

I think Google cast is only meant for certain hardware, it is not open source. Someone with better knowledge can correct me

[emperornovio]

Can someone please suggest an ftp server for odroid. The ones I found can't use ethernet, and I can't use WiFi with my odroid

[voodik]

Yes, you are right.
As i know first it depends DRM.
Which is doesnt work on XU4.

[samlw]

Hi,

I got an XU4 recently and thought I'd give ATV a go after reading about it in this forum. I followed the instructions in this tread - Lineage 15.1 installs fine - I do the google registration fine it updated, then the update to the ATV version (https://oph.mdrjr.net/voodik/5422/ODROI ... update.zip) all appears to go well except when when the XU reboots - the fan runs the keyboard caps light etc work, but no image on the TV or Monitor. At first I thought it my be my LG monitor - its an ultrawide, so maybe its a resolution thing but no - same happens in my Samsung TV. I tried 3 times and left it a good hour or so but still no joy

Any ideas?

Sam

Nevermind guys, I just realized that ES File Explorer can act as an FTP server. It's really clumsy managing ATV files with a remote, I'd rather do it on my phone

Very nice, thanks for keeping this one updated.

[nakotic]

Hey guys,
I have the latest ATV Update running on my XU4, thanks you for that amazing effort! Nevertheless, I am struggling with my bluetooth connections. I have the following Bluetooth Dongel:
https://www.amazon.de/CSL-Bluetooth-verbesserte-Energieeffizienz-Technologie/dp/B01N0368AY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542289837&sr=8-1&keywords=CSL+-+Bluetooth+4.0+USB+Adapter+%7C+V4.0+verbesserte+Energieeffizienz+%7C+Bluetooth+Class+4.0+Technologie+%7C+Plug+%26+Play+Modell+%7C+Windows+10%2F8.1%2F8+%2F+7+%2F+Vista%2FXP+32-Bit+und+64-Bit
and I enabled Bluetooth in the Odroid Settings. I cannot connect my mobile or my Bluetooth Speaker (disabled sink profile on lineageos). Any help?
