ANDROID TV OUT, How do i play games on my tv?

I recently say a you tube vid of someone playing android games on a big screen hd tv, with the atrix, my question is how do I do this? I have searched high and low but dont see how, my android just displays a motorola logo on my tv when I hook up the hdmi...

Its called hdmi mirroring. Both greyblur and gingerblur have this feature, if I remember correctly. But I believe it only works in portrait, not landscape.

Tried this just now with Gblur. Used webtop mode and played a game, okay a few games, of Angry Birds on the tv. It does work in ladscape. Double tap and hold to pull the bird back. Just awesome. I did not try the hdmi mirroring. Maybe later..
Heres a pic. Bad quality from low lighting taken w Cap.

[Relevant] Android TV launcher now available on Google Play

The Android TV Launcher is now available for download on Google Play. Google has decided to make it a standalone app from Android TV, similarly to the Google Experience Launcher.

The launcher gives you access to your media like movies, songs and Android TV apps like Netflix, TED and YouTube. To install it, you’ll need an Android TV device, like the Nexus Player and ADT-1.
This is great news, since Google will be able to push updates faster to the launcher without having to update the whole Android TV platform. You can check out the source link below to see its progress.

I wonder if it is possible to change the Launcher on the Fire TV and TV Stick?

Has anyone tried this on the Amazon Fire Tv. Thanks

I tried to download the APK via evozi but it failed...
Edit: found the apk, but the software it won't work on Jellybean.

Use Android 2.2+ Device As Wireless Audio Receiver (Wireless Multi Speakers)

XDA senior member "jekatt" has built an app called SoundSeeder which is something like a "multispeaker music player".
SoundSeeder can turn your Android device into a wireless speaker and use multiple of them to create a multi speaker audio system.
The full featured player app requires Android 4.1+, but there is also a dedicated speaker app for devices running Android 2.2+. (There is even a speaker app for windows / linux / raspberry pi)
The player supports audio playback from: phone storage, dlna/upnp network storages, google music and online radio stations.
The latest version even supports live streaming of recorded audio (microphone input or usb audio line in)

S10+ G975: DRM Info says Widevine L1, Netflix says Widevine L3 and limited to SD

My model was upgraded to Android 10 yesterday, but I already had this problem before.
I didn't root my device, I'm using the OS as it came installed and (AFAIK) I didn't make any relevant changes as I've only had the phone for a couple of months.
So my problem is the DRM Info app says I have Widevine L1 (though no HDR functionality?!), but then in Netflix's "Playback Specification" screen it says Widevine L3 and SD as maximum playback resolution.

Because of this, I can't seem to play Netflix HD videos on my phone. Which is a bother because even for the small-ish 6.4" screen those 480p are really starting to show their age.
And I do have the Netflix 4K plan.
Another interesting tidbit is the Amazon Prime Video app lets me play videos in 1080p (making it a big difference in quality to netflix videos).
The only thing out of the ordinary that I remember is manually installing a couple of games through an apk, as they're from humble bundle.
Any help here? Should I try to contact netflix? Reinstall the app in some specific way?

Google Assistant problem on TV box transformed to Android TV

Hi,
I have succeeded in transforming my RK3229 tv box into an Android TV by following this tutorial: https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/de...onversion-from-stock-android-to-android-tv-os
Summary:
- edit build.prop, add “tv_core_hardware.xml” and “tv_features.xml”
- install Android TV version of Google Play Store & Google Play Services
- install Android TV Launcher
I have also installed Live channel+CosmiDVR for watching IPTV, it is working properly now except one problem: I cannot open a channel by using Google Assistant.
When I say something like "open HBO" or "open channel 1", Google assistant always returns "không thay kenh do" (mean: "couldn't find that channel")
I think that it needs some extra apk files but I don't know which they are.
What do I have to do now ?

UPDATE: now it is running well.
Just install OpenGApps to your TV and everything should be fine.

How to check it "successfull"? or just download app from Google Play without issue?
