jkramer 10 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I installed the Android version on my Shield unwittingly after a recent factory reset. 1. Has it always been available on Android TV? I see things I like better on it, and other things I'd have to get used to. 2. Is it eventually going to move to 1 app for both platforms? Currently running both side by side.

The way the D-Pad works with the on-screen controls, mainly. So used to down-right-right-right etc. to get to subtitles etc. I also can't seem to get the subtitle position as low as I did in the TV version, but that could very well be the type of subtitle I had on the 2 movies I tested. Not sure whether I like the bolder, really white timeline thingamabob either. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised I could control server stuff from the app (it appears, anyhow). It was also nice being able to add movies to collections from the app instead of having to do it from the server. I wonder how I managed to never install the vanilla Android version before? Was it not visible until recently on the Android TV Play Store I see on my Shield? Admittedly, I never sought it out, just assumed there were separate versions that strictly depended on my platform.

Have you watched a tv show yet? The Android TV app will show a description of the next episode before it starts the new app shows nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I had found it a few days ago, just years of muscle memory messing with me. 2 hours ago, Kyrunner said: Have you watched a tv show yet?
