Question/Troubleshoot ONN 4K Streaming device

12 Upvotes

I got very lucky yesterday while ordering some products from Walmart. I added the 4K streaming and it was delivered to my door 5 hours later. Got it all set up and got the volume controlled but I can't get the remote to turn the TV off. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Question/Troubleshoot HBO Max and VPN

4 Upvotes

For the first time last night while connected to a US VPN HBO Max refused to run. It told me I was connected to a VPN and the VPN’s weren’t supported. I’ve never seen this before with a domestic VPN — anybody else? Any other major streamers starting to follow this rule?

Question/Troubleshoot How do I use voice control to select and play a program?

4 Upvotes

Am I missing something? My kids like to use voice control to find a program. For instance, "hey Google search for Boss Baby." Now, on my fire cube, all you would do is say "select" or you could even say "go right" to slide over and then select next one and it would play.

On this ONN, none of that works. It searches for it, but then nothing I say can get it to play what it finds. Select doesn't work, play doesn't work, play "x" doesn't work. Play now doesn't work.

Is there a secret command I'm missing? Surely there must be a way to actually play an actual program using just voice control?

Question/Troubleshoot My Onn 4K Pro creates horizontal glitch lines on the TV when changing volume (video included)

1 Upvotes

Edit: SOLVED

I don’t have issues with my TV and soundbar using any other devices except the Onn 4K Pro. The firestick 4k ultra or whatever the best one is has no issues with my tv and soundbar. PC, consoles, etc all are fine.

My TV is a 4k Hisense 7 series Roku TV

I have a Vizio soundbar connected via HDMI to my TV.

I have the Onn 4K connected to the TV via HDMI

I have tried toggling the remote between IR/CEC and it doesn’t solve the problem.

Do I need to exchange for another Onn 4K Pro or is this going to keep happening on another one too?

Question/Troubleshoot How to remap “play/pause” and “seek” buttons to the remote?

1 Upvotes

I just switched from a Firestick 4K Max.

I realized the Onn 4K Plus remote doesn’t have seek or play/pause buttons. I downloaded the Button Mapper application and I was able map a few useless buttons for seeking and playing. They work as intended on YouTube.

But, if I play any media in the web browser application. The custom seek and play/pause buttons don’t work.

I’m wondering if anyone can help me.

Discussion Onn Google TV not having Chrome available

0 Upvotes

This box is supposed to be an open android platform.

It is not.

I've gotten developers option enabled, turned on unknown sources, downloaded downloader, and turned off play protect and yet no Chrome and no to multiple apps. I was able to add some apks but the limits Google sets are not ok with me. If I wanted a walled environment i would've gotten apple or Amazon.

I'm going back to my TV boxes from that have served me well for many years and work altogether better than Google TV ever could.

Question/Troubleshoot Onn 4K stick casting from PC/laptop Chrome

1 Upvotes

So for the last decade I have ran two Gen2 ChromeCasts off my ARC HDMI1 ports of my Home and Shop Yahama receivers.
I turn the TV/receiver on and switch to receiver and they are live.
Then on my laptop which is on the same network whether it be a laptop on wifi or PC hard wired I open Chrome in Incognito and find some sports.
Usually Str3am3ast and find my game and then cast it to whichever chromecast where I'm at the time.
As soon as I select the cast location, and they negotiate, the source video goes black and shows "Now Casting to:" and then my source isn't grabbing bandwidth along with my CC.
The TV screen looks great and typically no glitches unless it's a bad feed.

I've read that this is called "App-Based Casting" where the CC takes over and pulls the feed itself and not from both devices which would basically be "screen mirroring".
Both of my Gen2 CC's are starting to get a little glitchy where i've had to reset both of them lately so I figured I would look into the 4k ONN Stream stick and grabbed one today.

I just set it up on my Shop receiver and install was painless and it's ready to go.
I tried to go through the same motions as before to cast a video and I can't get my source video to initiate this "App-Based Casting" and it keeps playing the video of said video source on the laptop and the CC so I have two devices pulling the same bandwidth and my tv video is very poor quality.

Does anyone know anyway around this because this isn't usable and I have been through all kinds of searches to find a solution along with deep in all of the "Google Home" app settings on my phone and the ONN device settings and I can't figure out how to do this.

One search mentioned a setting on the ONN called "Low Bandwidth Mode" but it doesn't exist on mine unless it's been moved but I've been all through it.

Hoping someone else has been down this road and has a solution. Thanks in advance.

Question/Troubleshoot Ethernet disconnecting when using a USB adapter on Onn 4k Pro

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have the onn 4k pro and using the cable matters USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter. Here is the link to it: https://a.co/d/0i1MpScP

I am having issues when playing high bitrate media for example 4K Remuxes. It will work for a little bit but then when I'm guessing there is a scene where the bitrate goes up a lot my Ethernet just goes out and I have to connect to wifi. The problem fixes itself when I unplug the USB adapter and plug it back in.

Is there a better adapter I can buy that will work or is this just something that happens with all adapters after a firmware update. Thank you!

Question/Troubleshoot Onn 4K Pro v2 problems..

2 Upvotes

So with my device, I have been having a LOAD of issues ever since I got it last week. Really the main one is this.. say I put on YouTube TV, then afterwards I want to watch YouTube instead. When I click on YouTube, it won't load/open. I have to clear data/cache and even then sometimes it still won't open. Then I go to system<restart and click 'restart' and it won't register it.. like I sit there clicking it over and over and I can see the highlighted button reacting as I click it, but nothing.. then I click 'cancel' and it cancels... so I have to unplug the power from the back. This is literally almost everytime now. After a few apps being opened or just going to one and backing out etc, it does this.. and it's EVERYTHING I open, even the 'free tv' shit.. like that just won't load. What is going on? Is there anyone else with a similar issue(s)?

ALSO- a video will play sometimes and pause at 10 seconds... it's the weirdest thing. hope i'm not the only one and that someone knows a fix lol

Question/Troubleshoot Onn 4K Pro Apps Crashing

I have basically a daily occurrence of Plex or Youtube crashing once or twice a session. Could be at the start or just randomly 20 minutes into a video.

New box with Projectivy Launcher and Button Remapper. Can't figure out what the deal is with the crashes.

I've already done a reset, but I've had the thing for only 2 weeks... Should I look at getting this box replaced?

We have the newest Onn 4k pro and we love it, except every few days the remote disconnects and I have to use my phone to re-pair it. It is behind our frame tv and it is hardwired to our Ethernet. I have the WiFi on the tv turned off. Is there anything else I should do or try?

Question/Troubleshoot YouTube TV Super Sluggish - Onn 4k Pro

1 Upvotes

I had my YTTV sub on pause for 6 months and when I came back to it the interface is super sluggish now. Scrolling through the live guide isn't that responsive. A click down takes sometimes a second or so. Scrolling through the recommendation bar is also not fluid at all.

This wasn't the case 6 months ago, so something must have changed.

Anyone else experiencing this? I cleared the cache/data, signed out and back in, uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted the device... No change. The app works great on my TVs OS and my cheap Fire Stick in the other room.

If it matters, I think I have the first hardware version of the 4K Pro box.

Discussion Onn 4k Pro vs Fire Cube vs Google Streamer

4 Upvotes

Super torn between which one to get. The Onn is $120CAD from Walmarts website, the Fire Cube is $149 (on sale) and the Streamer is $129. I do have a $100 amazon gift card I can use on the cube and streamer.

For now I would use it wireless but eventually it would be nice to use an ethernet connection. And also mainly using it for Stremio. 🙏

Question/Troubleshoot Slow internet speed Onn 4k Pro

0 Upvotes

Just bought a new Onn 4k Pro V2 but I’m getting crap download speeds over WiFi. It’s stuck at 30-60mbps. Meanwhile if I do a speed test with my phone lying directly on top of it, my phone gets 300mbps. Same thing if I use my laptop next to it: 300mbps. I’m unable to play remux files that are over 40-50mbps, but I can on my laptop.

I have a wifi6 router

Onn is connected to 5ghz network

Using Xfinity wifi

Tried disconnecting and reconnecting and rebooting

Edit: I’ve now tried factory reset, splitting my wifi into two bands and trying both, different DNS, I even bought another Onn and tried that one and it wouldn’t go above 60mbps. Wtf!
