Where to start with Android TV?

Hellfire103@sopuli.xyz to Android@lemmy.world – 25 points –

My uncle recently gave me an old Minix Neo X8-H Plus. It has been upgraded from the stock Android KitKat up to Lollipop, and it has been rooted. I have connected a USB DVD drive, but I haven't tested it yet.

I had Kodi on a RPi for a while, but I am otherwise completely new to this sort of thing.

I couldn't install F-Droid, so I decided to use Aptoide TV instead of Play Store.

So, what should I do with the device? Any app suggestions? Settings I should change?

Would NewPipe not work?

It does, but the UI isn't optimised for TV usage.

Yeah, I had to use a gyroscopic remote for most of NewPipe's features.

It works but the main issue is that full screen crashes the app. It never used to, but now it does so I use Clipious for my Android TV.
