Nabukodonosor 11 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hey guys. I had a chance to try the standard android app and when it comes to scrolling my movies and tv shows, it is SO SMOOTH! It glides through my covers. I'm just talking about that part of the app, because everything else is jerky and choppy, like it's not very well optimized. On the other hand, the androidtv app is very jerky when it comes to scrolling through my content. Why can't you guys make it smooth like you did in the standard app?

marriedman 32 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I've got a Shield on the way and I am trying to figure out the difference between the standard Android app and the TV app. Which one do you recommend @Luke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're moving in the direction of the standard app. This is what's getting all of the new features. But until we fully transition I would say whichever you prefer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80srule 22 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Will the Standard app have the voice command? I like with the ATV app you click on search and the mic lights up. The standard version you have to do a few more steps. I dont know if that's because it's designed for non ATV boxes and such as well. On Fire stick it doesnt even show voice command as shown below.

The overall speed of the AndroidTV is much better, apart from the smoothness of the content scrolling. Everything is choppy and slugish in the standard app. Also, I just don't like the feel of using the standard app. The placement of the buttons, the look of the buttons, the speed and ease of use...everything is much better in the AndroidTV version. It's like it's really meant for TV use. Not to forget I can't play any videos because it asks me for the Premiere subscription. Can you now answer my question?

Luke 37066 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 HI, yes we are continuing to work on improving it. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabukodonosor 11 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 What do you mean you're continuing to work on improving it? The AndroidTV version of the app has been out there for ages, and the standard app is I think younger. Why don't you do what you did in the standard app with content scrolling, to make it that smooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a slight delay so you can change channels quickly. Channels DVR channel changing is the best example I can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackBowman 18 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Tunning a Live TV channel is definitely faster in the Android App. I have been using the Android app a lot lately as opposed to the Android TV App. It is just a bit slower getting around in general and the Home screen seems to be not as sharp like is is running at a lower resolution than the TV App. Just kind of like a soft blur. Other than that I am really enjoying the Android App on a 75 inch Television. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll look again. but some key things such as number channel changes and page down up with channel changing in tv guide isn’t or isn’t working properly.

JackBowman 18 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The Channel numbers seem to be the same, and while I don't have a Page Up or Page Down buttons on my remote, the up arrow and down arrow next to the Plus and Minus volume buttons do give me the page up and page down function, and it works fine. It could be I don't understand what you are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 4 hours ago, JackBowman said: Tunning a Live TV channel is definitely faster in the Android App Do you have the option to allow direct streaming live TV turned on in the TV app? if not, that is probably the reason for the difference.

JackBowman 18 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I do have Direct Play Live TV enabled in the TV App. I also noticed that I have Live TV Start Time set to slow though. That setting helped me to get rid of the little pauses from time to time while watching Live TV. Edited February 19 by JackBowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
