Anyone tried installing astro go on Sony kd65x7500f?

Already side load keyboard and oriental app. During login, it till direct me to a page in web browser to login. After key in all the info, it will just stuck at the browser. Seems like the browser fail to redirect back to the astro go app.

Could it be the browser problem? Need to side load another browser?

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken should be android 7.

The browser is the one come default with Sony TV.

Maybe will try to use other browser to test.

Thanks for the reply bro.

Ya, install other browser, disable the original, try again.

Puffin is in playstore... chrome, u need to sideload.

Also, u may want to use x-plore from playstore rather than es file explorer as file manager.

I find xplore better.

Let me know if it works, tq.

Anybody with such error? I faced it on my phone and Android box. It was OK last few days but I noticed this error last night. No problem with iOS though, it works flawlessly with iPad. I have sent a feedback via Google Play and Astro Go FB Messenger, now they are asking for more details from me which I have supplied. However, I'm worried they will not fix for me because my phone is not one of the supported devices.

This is the error which I was referring to, I have screenvideoed it: https://streamable.com/opnc8
Basically, the app will crash if expand the On Demand videos list by clicking "See All". I think Android TV may not have issue, just probably on Android devices.

Yes, some bug.

Happens to all my 3 devices, incl androidtv.

Likely someone missed, 826 not optmized for android... ios maybe ok...?

But not a problem.. just use mouse to click n drag horizontally, u see all of them.

As expected Astro refused to fix saying mine is not supported device.

I think if scroll horizontally, it's not all shows, just partial list. hmm.gif

I was using 8.2.4 in my box and also faced issue, so I sideloaded to 8.2.6 also same thing. My phone is using 8.2.6 all this while, no luck too. It just happened recently if I can recall.

Nevertheless, for a workaround I will now view from respective channels, the channel's VOD will be displayed under each live channel.

Yes, iOS is OK. I tried using iPad and it's OK.

upon further checking... some "see all" are ok, some are not.... depends in which section and which one.

definitely some bug they need to fix.

and yes, that did not exist in 824.



on a diff note, i wonder why astro does not want to sell astrogo separately, want only own stb/decoder.

if they incr no. of HD channels, incl dd5.1, improve app navigation and package it nicely, i think can sell like netflix if priced reasonably.

a lot of people have broadband and own boxes already, don't want more boxes and wires.

Hi all, I have Njoi Now running on Minix U9-H. Playstore said it was not compatible with my device so I installed from APK. I use for AEC mainly and find that for live stream, after few minutes, the green spinning thing will appear. Then have to exit and access via channels again. Happens less often with the On Demand content but still does. I am on Unifi 300 mbps internet. Anyone here facing this issue? Any resolution to stop the hanging? Njoi Now app version is 0.2.6, latest one.

IMO.. Beelink devices aren't great.. If AOTG is really your criteria.. There are very few boxes that can handle it.. You can either do the right thing.. which is to buy the proven boxes or continue with some unproven box and try your luck. smile.gif

I rather not spent too much since every few years likely need to replace any good recommendation under 450 then?

For that budget.. You can try the Mecool M8S PRO L box.. Make sure to get the one that ships with the Android TV OS and sleek black Voice remote.. Don't buy the one with ( i believe blue and white remote buttons) non-voice remote.. Last I checked, Astro Go worked on it. Should still work.

As for replacement every few years? That may not be the case.. I've been using the Minix Neo U1 since 2016 and (knocks on wood) zero issues since then. Multiple AOTG apps updates and it still handles fine. Other boxes aren't so lucky.. Besides, it's not far off from your budget anyways, just a couple extra bucks.. If you do decide to get it though.. make sure to buy the Neo U1 + Minix Neo A2 Lite/A3 airmouse combo.. It's a MUST to navigate the app. Your call though..

Thanks for advise I will look into them. Err Neo is running lollipop android shouldn't we be going for android 7 or 8 OS boxes? I didn't see the one using android TV OS in Lazada quick glance. Might be there will look further later.
