Really wish smart TV’s running AndroidTV/GoogleTV could do framerate matching like external devices can, though.

Patch@feddit.uk 1 year agoGoogle still sell their own Android TV dongles (Chromecast), and big TV manufacturers still sell it as a smart TV OS (notably Sony).
Fire OS isn’t Android TV anyway; as the article says, it’s built out of an old fork of AOSP, and has no tie in to Google’s services. I don’t see that Amazon moving Fire products to a different base makes the slightest difference to the rival Android TV.

It’s not an “old fork;” it’s regularly upleveled.

It’s currently on Android 11, which is 3 major versions (and 3 years) behind mainline Android.

Well, it’s been a while since I worked with them on that, so maybe they’re not bothering while they prep for the final push to Vega … or perhaps they finally stopped giving a shit and canned the rest of the architecture team. We used to uplevel every two major versions.
