Also, with this application, you can add additional actions to the remote control buttons - this is a long press and in the premium version, double-tap, triple-tap and simultaneous pressing of two buttons.

Good day everyone! In this video, we'll see how to transfer files from a smartphone to a TV or TV box using ES Explorer.
We already talked about how to add a search engine to ES Explorer here and how to transfer forbidden files here .
Let's get started, we will need both devices to be on the same home Internet network, and ES File Explorer installed on both devices.
On the Android TV Box, open ES File Explorer:
We need a "Sender" (sender):
Open receive. On the console, I named the device “KM9”:
I have android 5.1 on the console, so the picture does not turn to the desired position. Who will have the same situation, you need to install the rotation control application ( link ). Open it once and everything will be fine.
With the Android prefix, that's all - go to the smartphone. We took a smartphone, open ES Explorer:
Let me remind you once again how to create an APK file from installed applications. Opening the application:
We select the necessary applications:
Enable reservation:
It's over. By default, the files will be in the “backup” :
We press "back". Opening the sender:
Click send:
Let's send the video, for this we mark the “ checkboxes ” and click “ send ”:
We press send. We click on the device, and the file is transferred:
Now you do not need to transfer to the cloud or copy to a USB flash drive. All files are in place:
Let's send our APK files created earlier - highlight and hit submit. Files are being transferred.
For some reason not very fast. This is due to the fact that many devices are connected via WiFi (two phones, 2 TVs, an android prefix), so the speed is probably not very high. Let's wait a bit:
Everything is in place and we return to the TV. Back to TV box:
If suddenly it doesn’t work on some TVs, in particular Sony, go to the settings, find the item about the device and click on the assembly number seven times - the item for developers will appear in it, turn on USB debugging. This will help. I did not include anything here, everything is transmitted without it. The resulting files will be in this folder:
In this review, we will install again and see the application called Peers.tv. It is freely available on the Play Store. This is for those who do not like to invent a good solution. We have already reviewed this article here , but did not mention playlists then. Let's go to the Play Market and type peerstv in the search:
I have the application already installed:
Copying a playlist
Let's go out, go to the browser and copy a third-party playlist so that there are more channels in the application. Link to playlist . The link works through a VPN .
A third-party playlist can set at its discretion.
Let's copy this:
Open the peers.tv app:
You can rewind the live broadcast, experiment with the buttons indicated here(rewind, zoom, favorites, volume control).
Find the archive! Here you can find past programs to watch:
Here you can find:
program guides, other days archive, 161 channels by default.
These are the collections, maybe someone will be interested in something:
Let's go to the settings. The default player is advanced. Quality:
Insert Playlist
Add copied:
Title: 1 Paste below what was previously copied from here . We save.
Here are the HD channels:
Somewhere there is an archive, somewhere there is no archive. Try it, install the application. See how it works, delete if you don't like it.
When advertising on your gadgets is already boring, and firewalls cannot cope with spam flying from all sites and applications, we recommend that you get rid of this by simply changing the router settings in your home.
How does this relate to the Android site? The article says about changing the DNS on the Android prefix to disable ads, but many do not succeed in this:
save button not working
someone else has problems
and someone can't find the DNS setting.
So we will solve this problem radically by disabling ads on all devices. To do this, open the browser and in the address bar enter the numbers 192.168.1 ( link ) or the numbers 192.168.1.1 ( link ), sometimes it turns out to 192.168.0.1 ( link ):
On the screen you will see the input:
You will see the login and password in the contract with the Internet provider. If you connected the router and bought it yourself, then look for a hint either in the instructions for the router, or you will see this:
In this case, enter the word admin as the password.
This password has nothing to do with the WiFi settings password, it is the password for entering the router settings, in which you can change everything, including passwords and the WiFi name.
We observe such a page with settings. You will probably see something different, but the essence remains the same. Search for and click the "Internet" tab:
We are looking for DNS words that can occur anywhere:
Click "Change"
IP information. Check the "static DNS" box:
Now we enter:
176.103.130.130 - if one window is entered in the first one;
176.103.130.131 - if there is a second window:
Click save. We reboot the router by turning off and on the power from the network.
