On Later coming to Android TV?

What remote are you using?

The stock remote that came with the Fire TV Stick 4K ("Mantis"), model L5B83H.

Installed latest beta, but my Android phone and tablet are not able to run the app. They app crashes back to the open app screen. I tried clearing the cache and data, also tried reinstalling from released app. Can't seem to make it work at all.

@miles @Michael_Birk please try the new beta

Working good for me now. On later button upper right corner, nice!

That fixed it, thank you! Selection works again in the More views on my Fire TV Stick 4K.

Great. Thanks for letting me know. I had to dig a FireTV 4K out of the closet to reproduce. I don't really understand what Amazon is doing that causes different devices to render things completely differently.

Perhaps it's related to their piss-poor QA for hardware decoding, such as their 2yr WONTFIX for H.264 interlaced content ...

... but then again we're just plebes ...

Are there plans to add an indicator to the On Later and Guide screens for episodes/movies that already exist in the library? I use On Later to find movies to record, but end up with duplicates because it is impossible to tell if something has already been recorded.

Looks good. I would appreciate air dates on the main On Later page. I would prefer them to always show but there seems to be a thumbnail-only theme here. I would also appreciate them to include the day-of-the-week instead of the year: e.g. "Fri Sept 30".

I have three Apple TV boxes and I love the "On Later" feature. It's great that this feature has come Android. However, I am not seeing this feature on my NVidia Shield. Should I be looking in a different location? I did try updating the app.

Thanks,
Larry

Did you install the beta app under Settings > Support ?

With all the posts here, I somehow missed the detail that it was a beta feature. :man_shrugging: Thank you, installed and working. This is a great feature!
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but will there also feature like on the Apple TV where you can click on a channel and see on later for just that channel?

Thank you!

Sweeeeeet! I just noticed the On Later tab in my Android TV app! LOVE IT!!!! I was waiting for this

Yes.

Google/Android TV and Android Mobile are not honoring the Global Client Settings:

And yes:

  • There is no override at the device level
  • I have toggled the setting on and off
  • I have restarted the devices/server
  • I am on all the latest betas

Try out the new build:
