I'm familiar with Google Assistant and absolutely love it on a Google Home, pixel book and pixel 2xl.
It's not so good on the Shield because it won't control my home automation stuff.
The Google video HERE show it's capable of all sorts of things that I can do on the Google Home but they don't work on the Shield.
I have Nvidia software version 6.3
"OK Google" is working.
It can answer questions like "what time is it?" and "what's the weather like?" "who is the prime minister?"
If I ask to "turn on the living room lights" is offers me a YouTube video by The Kinks called 'When I turn off the living room light.'
I think it's supposed to allow voice control whilst watching content too but if I say "pause" it offers me YouTube videos with the word in!
Can anyone help me with this please?

Just bought my shield tv...love it! The latest spmc supports voice search which is great. The problem lies when using it. When I do a voice search for a movie (the big lebow$ki) first a youtube trailer pops up, then info on the cast, then coen brother movies, then jeff bridges movies, etc,etc finally at the very bottom is my copy in spmc. Can I turn off all that other crap so it just shows my copy of the movie? Or at least make spmc the top choice instead of the bottom? I have notifications off for the following apps google play games, google play movies, google play music, live channels, netflix, youtube. According to the app options all the previous mentioned apps say I need to enable them so I believe I have them shutoff. I even went through and changed each one and it change what showed under google voice search. Its the only flaw in a otherwise great media box. Thanx for the help
Just wondering if anyone can help on how to stream live from the shield android tv console direct to youtube,hopefully with the webcam showing you in the corner if possible please.They don't explain how and promote twitch whereas I think they should have a choice for both when holding the home button for 3 seconds to broadcast,this is what I want to do webcam and onscreen game broadcast to youtube live.

Please any help for streaming to youtube from a nvidia shield android tv,I don't want to use twitch they seem to be bias towards twitch at nvidia,so guessing there's money involved here and they are not allowing apps to run as far as I can tell this is the case but may be getting it wrong? Tried Gusher it has a youtube option,it states on a youtube video it works but when i try it says live not enabled,it points me to a link to enable it via youtube,in your account profile or settings page,but this is stating live is enabled?But I create a live broadcast in youtube and once I publish it it states offline,I then srtp details method in Gusher and the same message pops up again enable live streaming got no clue how to ammend it or how to work around this,contacted google and nvidia google put me over to nvidia,nvidia fobbed me off stating the shield is using twitch so use twitch,we don't support youtube streaming??? They suck at this.Personally I'd tell them if I was president of google,I'd say look nvidia you use our android tv os but won't allow the live streaming in favor of twitch streaming either enable it or loose your rights to the os to use it on shield tv!I'd also say what no love for youtube streaming on the shield tv but you have a partner ship with an alternative live streaming provider instead of the live streaming provider of your os that's a bit of a poke in the eye.
UPDATE
Found an app that enables youtube live from within android tv os and that is this app BitStream https://play.google.com/store/apps/...roid&pcampaignid=APPU_1_Pz9_V_-nIciZgAa6l4Io%
1.88 gbp price 1080p max varied resolutions other than 1080p and no ads at that cost,it's awesome,1 flaw though the mic setting when enabled keeps the sound and microphone going all the time,you mute the mic though and it mutes the game stream sound as well.Just thought it might help those who can't enable live streaming option from the youtube site when using the shield android tv console
Hello guys,
I have been searching but cannot find the answer, so I guess it is not possible, yet...
The Pixel XL is more than capable of doing everything a Google Home device can do, but yet it can't. In the Google Home app on the phone, you can pair up your devices, but there is no way to say
"OK GOOGLE, turn up the volume on my TV", or whatever. Seems like it should be possible?
BTW, All Sony Android TVs (I have one) are Google Home compatible.
Mark.
I'm with you. Just installed Nest and Phillip Hues light both Home compatible and had the same thought. Let me know what you find out.

I was able to control the light on my Philips hue setup with the google assistant on my Pixel from a different room. I had to set the lights up in the google home app first, of course. As for the Sony TV, I guess mine is waiting for an update that will allow voice control. Right now it doesn't see my Sony TV as a "compatible device" when I try to add it. I can cast to my original chromecast perfectly with google home or assistant.

Ah, so maybe the same is true for me. I can chromecast to my TV but perhaps once an update comes I will be able to do more.
So are you saying that your phone can do all a Google Home device can do?

My app only sees my Chromecast. Do you have the Home device also? Read you have to have device before Pixel will work as voice remote.

As far as I can tell the assistant on the pixel can do everything GH can do. I am able to ask my assistant to set or dim the lights and it works. I have heard you can expand the control you have over your TV with a Logitech Harmony setup but I don't have one yet. The pixel plays music and casts netflix just like the GH device can do but only to my chromecast for now (c'mon Sony!). For the way I use it, it's like having another GH device in my pocket. I did receive my GH device before my pixel by a few days but I am unsure of why having GH before the pixel would make a difference.

Hi
Interesting... so can you get netflix or youtube to chromecast using voice commands? What do you say? Do you have only one Chromecast in your house. I have three, and am not sure it would know what to do with a command to chromecast a movie on a specific app to a specific chromecast device, does it?

Yes but only to my original first gen chromecast. I gave it an easy name (bedroom TV) and added the chromecast through the Google Home app. It was very easy and intuitive. After that I am able to say "Ok Google play Stranger Things on the bedroom TV" and it casts successfully. You can do the same with youtube as far as i know. I don't think auto play works but that may be because I think I have it turned off in my global netflix settings, I'll need to mess with that. I cannot do much with the Google Home while it is playing beside pause and stop. I don't really use the chromecast in my bedroom anyway since I have that TV hooked up to a PC so for me it's kind of worthless. When that Sony update comes I will be able to cast where I actually watch TV and hopefully some more control will be baked in like volume, fast forward/rewind, subtitles toggles or maybe even some tv specific controls like video modes or input selection. Only time will tell. I am also pretty excited to see what Google adds for home automation. I would love to control my tp-link dimmable light bulbs and my wemo wall switches, not to mention the Schlage smart lock I'll be installing today, all of which can be controlled by Alexa.

Ok great, good info. I will experiment a bit tomorrow. Two of my chromecasts area also first gen, but I have never really tried giving voice command, and they are named bedroom, living room, so I should be able to do the same as you... cheers

Before I got my Google Home for Christmas, I used the IFTTT app to control everything from my pixel. Location triggers pretty much suck, but all the voice triggers have so far worked 99% of the time. Not sure how it'll work with what you want for your TV, though. At least not without using something like the Harmony Hub (which I also got and have a HORRIBLE interface, lol).
I'm just not interested in the Home device yet. Have a Nest and Hue lights. I can control both with my Android Wear watch which is good enough for me. Nest app already comes Android Wear compliant. Use Hue Wear app for lights. Loving it so far.

Wow... No one even decided to say that they've used up all the codes (-_-)...
Anyways, I tried your free version on my Nexus 5 and it works pretty well! It does drain the battery a lot more than I thought it would though.
Anything with a 3d environment background is a drain on the phone battery (overheats it too)
I personally use vr players with no background or 3d surroundings. All you need is the video screen.
Hello sir,Expried codes..please share new...
Did you make this with Unity3d?
If so, could you add this https://github.com/m-tukiok/UnityPluginDisplay4k to it, please? Even if you have to make it into a different version of the app.
I'm willing to pay for the pro version and make a donation if you do!
I'd love to have a native 4k VR player for my XZp that doesn't require messing with adb.
VU showing video that is mismatched positionally on right and left eye
hey fam.i am using a tecno camon cx air and i am having an issue in that the video on the right is not exactly the same in positioning/mismatch as the video on the other eye causing some blur and uncomfy viewing experience.what can i do?i am using VU pro latest versionconfused:
check out my twitter @Kay_e_veemusic i will show you a screenshot of my screen, i can't post a link here since i am new..will appreciate your help
It's a shame the codes are expired this deserves five stars for sure! I have a couple of feature requests:
Please add the ability to play network videos! It is essential that I can launch videos to VU Cinema from a file manager (total commander in this case) the same as any other video player. It would also be nice to be able to browse network videos from within the app.
Bluetooth controls need to be refined. Please add the ability to either map the controller or add basic seek and volume controls to the D pad. Sometimes it is easier to tap forward a couple times to relocate my place in a movie than try to navigate the very inaccurate seat bar. The only app I have seen tackle VR controls well (and I've tried them all) is VR Theater by coach games. If you were to merge the graphics from VR Cinema with similar gamepad controls to VR theater it would be the perfect app!!!
Please continue development it's really great! ?
[Just purchased, well worth it]
On one plus 5, After the update 5.0.4 it has stopped working.video screen is blank while pictures can be seen.kindly help on it.

Thanks in advance

When I use the voice search to search for a movie that I know for a fact is on one of my installed apps, I am only shown results to buy the movie from Google play. The only exception is if I search for something that is on one of the major apps like Netflix or hulu. But it will not search apps like TBS or FXNow for movies. Is there a way to make it do this? Roku does this very well.
