FYI, BT speakers can be used on some philips android TV using a workaround: installing the application bluetooth pair (with the apk, not available on the android tv play store).

With this app, you can pair with the bluetooth audio device, and once its done you will see your bluetooth device in the audio output menu of the tv, like any other device (no need to start the app each time).

Works very well on my 55POS9002 with several cheap chinese bluetooth headsets I've tested.

The same workaround doesn't work for OLED803

Hello friends!

who faced a problem with TPM171E 65PUS8102 after switching to firmware 2018. - TPM171E_105.1.2.75.

When playing from a TV, DTS started working,

but when using PS4 in DTS mode, obvious lags (sound suppression) appear, this was not the case with the old firmware.

Is it solved only by a rollback?

Philips 6000 series

Hello,

I have a problem on my philips TV, model : 50PUT6002/56, i can't find no information about the TV or how to update it.

Saying it's running : Philips One UX v1.0.1, Android v5.1.1

There is no play store and only Philips app store with very few apps, kodi is the only interesting one already installed,

Does anyone have any information about how to get play store installed ?

I tried looking for developer tools app, but nothing found in philips store.

2 Connect ADB via WIFI -> adb start-server" , adb connect IP:5555

3 Install APK -> adb install "app.apk" (download apk from google play with evozzi apk downloader in web or in chrome extension)

And also I have exactly the same problem like Ben Mertens from toengel.net forum, post from February 6 2019.Do you think it can be some bug or the mainboard defect? It is strange that the problem is exactly the same...

How can i reinstall the firmware actually? Thats the problem... i'm totally stuck on Philips logo and can't do nothing ? How can I get it to work pleassseee

Ty in advance for help :D
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
Thanks for helping, well since it's in Deutsch I don't really understand lol...

So I've downloaded upgrade_loader from this link : https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjUqro7f8a9QkNFbOSIto-sJBnNzxQ

I've dropped upgrade_loader.pkg into my USB Key of 8gb formatted in FAT32

Turned off my TV with eletricity

Put the key into the black usb input.

Turned on my TV with eletricity

Now I got a blackscreen so I waited like 30 min.

Turned off the TV.

Removed the USB key.

And restarted the TV

But I still have the same prob (stuck on philips) nothing changed...

What I'm doing wrong ? Thanks again for help, very appreciated :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi,

From my past experience, the TV should automatically reboot when the firmware is installed.

You should leave it to finish the install. For me it took more than half an hour to finish install.

Just do it again and don't touch it until you see the setup screen.

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
I will try that then, thanks again. Could you ask you how did you get this problem ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
I tried to do a downgrade from recovery, like it worked on 2015 TV sets from Philips, but on 2016 models it does not work anymore.

So I have discovered in a post on this thread a link to the loader for my firmware, and it worked. It saved my TV.

Now, you should have seen a "Software Upgrade" message on you screen when loading the firmware. Did you saw this? If not, make sure the loader is correctly renamed on the root of your FAT32 stick drive.

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
I see, for the moment I get no message at all, since I've just restarted the process, I have putted the USB into the black entry and now I'm waiting for a reboot like you told me. Did I make something wrong, I should get the message after the half hour, right ? Thanks again.

If I'm wrong then Idk what to do lol, I've formatted my USB Drive to FAT32, downloaded the zip "TPM171E_105.1.2.75_upgrade_loader.zip" and extracted the "upgrade_loader.pkg" at the root of my USB Drive, is that good ?

Right now my screen is litterally black since you told me to just wait.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing smth wrong lol

My TV is a 43PUS7303/12

thanks again
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
It seems that you have done all ok.

But from what I remember, I had the "Software Upgrade" message when I did the install.

You could try and let it have the screen black for one hour. If it doesn't automatically reboot, then something is wrong.

You can try to use another USB stick if this try fails.

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
I will, thanks alot.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
With pleasure.

I have found the steps to do the install from a philips support email:

===QUOTE===

1. Download the file

2. Format a USB stick (FAT32 only)

3. Copy the downloaded file (upgrade_loader.pkg) to root directory of USB stick.

4. Power on TV - so picture is displayed (Do not insert USB stick at this stage)

5. Unplug mains power cable from the TV

6. Insert USB stick into USB port (USB 3 port - Blue) Should this fail to install then swap to USB 2.0 port.

7. Plug mains power cable back into TV.

8. You should get a message onscreen saying "Software Upgrade in process" - this will stay onscreen until it completes.

9. After software has installed, and TV fully rebooted do a full "Re-installation of TV via Menu" > Setup > All settings > General Settings > Reinstall TV > OK

>>Important: This will take around 15 to 20 minutes to fully install, once complete the TV will automatically reboot back into Android. Then you can remove the USB stick and recheck.

In some instances the TV may appear idle for up to 20 minutes until any messages start appearing on screen.

===END OF QUOTE===

Hope it helps,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
Could I Ask you what was your philips TV model ? Mine IS from 2018 it changed since 2016 I Guess, no ? Thanks again
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
My TV is a 2015 (PUS7150) with 2016 board inside (PUS6401). The steps are received for a 2016 model.

What is important for you to see from my quote is that you should see the "Software Upgrade is in progress" message on screen. I remembered correctly.

I don't think anything changed from 2016 to 2018.

The steps should be the same.

If you don't solve the issue, just call the Philips Service and register your TV for a repair.

If you can't boot it up, they can't boot it also :) so they will never find out that you are to blame for breaking their TV :)

Just say the TV never woke up one morning, and you're done.

They will probably change the mainboard and you are off the hook.

Good luck.

Vlad

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
Hi all, do you know what the maximum supported bit rate for files (4k, hdr, is hevc) on the 8303 would be? I'm trying to rule out possibilities, and network bandwidth, which I first suspected, does not seem to be the issue.

Thanks

Edit: I've tried the built in media player, Plex and Kodi for the same file (bit rate around 39mbps), and it stutters/buffers very badly. TV is connected via ethernet, and streams (no transcoding) with a bandwidth of up to at least 90mbps, until it stops, when the stutter begins.

I'm able to stream the same file just fine to my PC, over WiFi even, and so there's not an issue with the bandwidth I'd say.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
Same for me on 7303, personally when playing 4K videos of 60go (by USB or NAS: I got a 1gb/s connection) or + it's stuttering badly, the GPU/CPU is not good enough,...

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
Thanks for the reply, as always. Even if the ethernet port is only 100Mbps, a 39Mbps file should work, and correct? I'll wait for Oreo to see if there's a change. ??
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
It's the same...

Did you tried with 65/70go video bro??? You should try and you'll see
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
What are 65/70 go video?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
65 or 70gb movies
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
Ah GB...no I don't have this large files to test it and i don't know even where to get them
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] KiiRan91:
Any very good quality movies in REAL 4K, HDR HEVC, etc... Need at least this space. I don't get problem with files under 50gb. But I can really see the difference mostly in the HDR colors
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark0x:
Yes it is a bandwidth issue with the 100Mbit ethernet, films are VBR encoded (Variable Bit Rate). The bitrate depends on the scene complexity, movement, details, etc...

You can try:

1. use wifi AC instead (866Mbps theoretical, much less in reality but still more than 100Mbit/s)

2. use USB to see that it is playing smoothly via USB and then buffering is due to network bandwidth of the TV.

3. Buy an external player like nvidia shield which will play everything smoothly and allow high res audio formats to be used.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] droidtman:
New Philips Android TV is Android 7

The New Philips Android TV is really amazing with ambient channels as well, I found the youtube review from Husham Memar is really nice and I bought one

Philips have not blocked anything.. it is way cool man.. I love it.. unless you are talking about a different model from the new Android TV
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
I'll try running it off USB, and see if that helps, however even if it peaks at above 100mbps, I would think buffering should be able to handle it. When I monitor the bandwidth utilised, when the stuttering in video starts, the bandwidth used drops from say 60 average, to around 1.5 or 2 mbps. Which would indicate that there's a sudden drop in demand on the client side. But, I'll test out WiFi and USB to rule out the bandwidth issue for sure.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark0x:
No, because buffer is in RAM, and RAM size is very limited compared to the bitrate of the file you are reading.

Taking kodi as an example, default buffer size is 20MB (160Mbits) => i.e. the buffer size is about on or two seconds but no more. It can be increased by using advancedsettings.xml file but even by doing that it was much better but I still had issues during long action scenes. Of course there is a limit because if you set too big buffer size android or kodi will crash.

There is a shortcut to see with OSD during movie how many data is in the buffer and you will see that even if during very steady scenes it can go up to 100% it is very fast to get this buffer empty when a high rate scene is coming.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] M4rf0:
With WiFi it's even worse. They connect AC card to usb ports so this is not an real AC. Best Chinese engineering :P
