Having a weird issue with Android TV:
When I start a game it loads and asks for controller. I can see the intro in the background, so it starts correctly.
The moment I connect a controller (Xbox one wired, or ipega Bluetooth) the game stops and I get kicked to the stadia home screen.
GeForce now has no problem with the above peripherals, they work well with the tv.
Anyone have ideas what could be the issue?
Thanks.
Hi @Waycent,
Sorry to hear you are having issues.
Are you connecting the controller up front before launching the game?
Did you try starting the Stadia app on Android TV and first connect a controller before launching a game.
I am afraid your TV is not officially supported as can be found on THIS support page. ![]()

I am aware that the TV is not officially supported, but was hoping it would work, as it has VP9 decoding. Games start fine (can see in the background when it asks for a controller pairing) if I have no controller connected.
Tried both controllers connected before and after launching a game, and also triggered from tv and from phone. It just closes the game and goes back to the start game screen. Either immediately if a controller is present, or after I connect one.
Was hoping that it is something fixable down the road, as it does not seem to be a streaming issue. Would like to switch to proper 4k without buying extra devices. Keeping to DEX until then ![]()
@Waycent@Waycent can you say something more? Have you managed to play on this TV since then? You downloaded Stadia apps from Google Play, right? I have the same TV, the latest software, etc., but for me, after starting the Stadia application, I can only see the first screen with the logo and nothing else ...: / How does it look for you now? sorry for mistakes - translate google ;d greetings.
@Waycent@Waycent czy możesz powiedzieć coś więcej? Od tamtego czasu udało Ci się zagrać na tym telewizorze? Aplikacje Stadia pobierałeś z Google Play, tak? Mam ten sam telewizor, najnowsze oprogramowanie itp, a jednak u mnie po uruchomieniu aplikacji Stadia, widzę tylko pierwszy ekran z logo i nic więcej...
Jak to wygląda teraz u Ciebie? Pozdrawiam
Hi, it got working by itself since then, they probably fixed my issue automatically with an update. I did not change anything on my side.
Can confirm that everything works fine with the app from the store, even 4k if you have the subscription, and both wired XBox controller and Blutooth (iPega, 8bitdo) work.
Hi everyone,
This is an older post so we're going to go ahead and lock it now. If anyone still needs help after trying the suggestions here, I'd recommend creating a new post so that you can get better visibility in our community.
Thank you,
