Any chance you could come up with a solution to emulators not running right on ccgtv . All I get is the old ( you don't have an app that can do this )

[@JeffJennings82]

Great video, I learned several things I wasn't aware of. Specifically using the remote ADB app with localhost fills my need to have a local shell. Additionally, your steps are thorough and not excessive. Thanks again.

[@peterbaines1964]

The word genius is sometimes over used.....but not in this case.....you are a GENIUS....THANK YOU

[@timwindsor03]

Incredible video TROY. Thanks for sharing. Love the way you do your videos. Always so thorough. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

[@ScrappyDoo651]

Following the adb commands allowed my file explorer to just recognise the usb drive as internal storage...now I have a device with over 30gb storage which is plenty of space as I only run minimal apps on it. Great tips as always. Thankyou.

[@PoptheballoonDaily7]

So this don't work for apps in Google Play?

[@Rahmi.Ozkan0413]

I Have the SanDisk 256 gb storage never had issues only issue using the external storage is doesn't allow you to update the Android Ststem Webview app easy fix you just need to turn off the force allow the apps on external in the developer option settings section it's the 2nd one from the bottom than you can update the app than just have to remember to turn the force allow apps on external back on .

[@scotty2167]

Great video and very informative as always thanks mate 👍

[@MattUrban-e8d]

Troy thank you brother had been trying to figure this out couldn’t move apps not only did you help me get this fixed it also fixed issue on the Tivimate app for changing the recordings folder to usb it now lets me change folder thank you!! You’re the best!!!!

[@robertnelson2615]

when purchasing the otg cable there is 2 choices, 18w and 60w, does it matter which one to choose?

[@troypoint]

Hello, the one that I'm linking directly to is the 18W cable and that's the one I'm using in the video.

[@BillPowell1203]

Great stuff! I'd love to know how you found out that the additional user was preventing moving data to the usb drive. That alone saved hours of head scratching across the community.

[@strayfox55bc37]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was so well explained, I would never have been able to figure it out on my own. You are truly a life saver!!!

[@gazncoll]

Great video Troy, 3 questions in one .. is there a way to use an external drive larger than 32GB? (or is there a size limitation?) If it is possible to connect larger than 32GB I'm guessing the process is identical?

[@ScrappyDoo651]

Previously followed this guide for a 32gb usb drive...worked a treat, adter the adb commands. Just done another Chromecast this time with a 64gb drive again once the adb commands were issued worked perfectly. This is a great guide 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BillPowell1203]

Can I use this Adoptable Storage for recording programs with TiviMate? I seem to be having permissions issues when trying to do that.

[@allancarson8862]

Really helpful 👏🏻 thanks very much 👍🏻

[@SB03182]

Great video! I am using MateTV to watch iptv. I am wondering, is it posible to recort tv program on that external USB stick?

[@punjabisniper6626]

Mate you are a legend. Thanks for this

[@joepuglia2256]

Are these the same required steps to use the USB storage device only to record tv programs?

[@josuedejesus21]

Do files also install into your external storage after doing all this, or is it just apps that can be moved here

[@iremungor5921]

Very helpful!! Thank you so much.

[@RegHardie]

Hi went to my phone guy and tech it wouldnt recognise the storage stick never showed up even after enabling usb on developer options any ideas thanks Reg Uk

[@paulheart5178]

I apologize for the off topic post here. I know you talk with Tech Doc and am curious to know if there has been any movement on a work around after Amazons update stopped Tech Docs Cache Cleaner and App Killer. Thanks again for all the great work you do. Love Downloader.

[@troypoint]

Hello, don't think there has been a solution as the local ADB is not completely disabled. TROYPOINT is no longer recommending Fire TV products. There are too many better Android TV/Google TV alternatives where we don't need to play their games.

[@Paelmoon]

How do you move the cursor around? I cant clickmon any of the troybox links because the Chromecast cursor only goes from corner to corner.

[@troypoint]

Hello, this is usually due to having your transition settings set to off in Developer options. Go into Settings / Developer Options and change all of them to .5 and that should fix the problem.

[@dannydan7201]

I couldn't get this to work since installing the march security updates 😔

[@stephenburch-yw7gk]

Great video and everything works perfectly. Thanks

[@mjinrak]

so you use the included power brick no need to replace?

[@troypoint]

Correct.

[@danowhitehead8598]

Can you record videos or movies using this process?

[@stephenburch-yw7gk]

What are the best security settings for the chrome cast google tv?

[@edgardls95]

Trying to install Elementum on my chromecast 4k. When i install from zip file i get an error message? Any way to fix this?

[@jamcrx]

Just Amazing TUTORIAL. Thanks so much bro.

[@csm274391]

Can I use the same method on my firestick?

[@Rubiel]

Love your videos, just wondering if you can do a video on how to add a Nas to an android box like NVIDIA Shield for recording and to move data from nas to android box. Thanks!

[@lukethejohnson]

Any chance you've tested this with a webcam? I've been looking for an option cheaper than Nvidia shield for living room video calls.

[@weechoRuiz]

I have did this back when I first got mine 2 years ago but didn't have to do all the did just use developer settings allow USB storage that's it

[@daraqadir1421]

can i use the same otg cable for onn tv box?

[@troypoint]

No, but you will find a link to that in the video description. You need a micro usb otg cable for the Onn box.

[@squarecircle2347]

Hmmm I just tried this and for whatever reason after the migrating seemed to be going on, it eventually went back to the previous screen where you select to migrate and then when I select it again i get the same error that it couldn't migrate :( Any idea what to try now?

[@PoptheballoonDaily7]

Does this work for apps in Google Play?

[@NoobGamer-ci1vl]

Only video that helped ✌️✌️

[@Thomas-lq8ut]

Can I use this method to download large storage games such as Asphalt 9?

[@caseyJames669]

I wanna what other apps you've put it on it

[@chinmayagarnaik6458]

Is it possible for asphalt 8 to be on pendrive because sometimes some apps only move the apk not the data file or obb file

[@keowkimhasawad3609]

hi I plugged in external storage and it says that the storage is corruppted and I cannot access the drive. Is there a fix for this?

[@troypoint]

Try formatting the drive - troypoint.com/usb-fat32-format/

[@atomicdawg8419]

Is there an option that you know of that includes 1 gb Ethernet

[@sivashankar4702]

For me usb option is not at all shows after enabling usb debugging mode and the force write option.. my PD is fat32 format. Indicator light is blinking but no usb detected in Chromecast

[@trishen_reddy]

I’ve followed all steps and even formatted my usb to Fat32 but it still does not pick up on my Chromecast

[@MarkCorner]

Hi I have got this working to an extent. However when I turn off USB debugging and restart. The drive isn't recognised. Only when I unplug the power and reconnect it. Then it connects back up. I have followed the instructions so can't understand why I'm having this problem. Anyone else had this issue?

[@FrankDamato-js7db]

my chromecast 3rd gen says Unknown command: remove. Any idea why this is happening? I was enjoying Your presentation, until now, lol.

[@ladonholland6396]

You're such a lifesaver thx you much

[@Buckeyes1fan]

Can we do this with fire stick

[@troypoint]

Yes, but doesn't work as good as Android TV/Google TV as we can't toggle the button that forces apps to external in dev options. This means that most apps can't be moved over to the USB drive unless developer of app declares support for it which most don't. But, anything that is sideloaded can be moved. Here are our guides for this on Firestick - troypoint.com/expand-fire-tv-stick-4k-internal-storage/

[@alirezaNikkhah]

How but having Internet cable in same time? You didn't think about that do you? And now is too late you will say new device coming and we don't need all this

[@troypoint]

I have no clue what you are asking??

[@jessechapin8604]

Hubs with these are real trial and error. Ethernet is more stable and faster than wifi ......Google API settings are what I want to go away. I don't have access to my folders for emulators.​@@troypoint

[@GABDAB]

Tried this, my chromecast is connected via ethernet using the official Google adaptor, but the otg cable doesn't carry a hard wired ethernet signal. I won't give up a good Internet speed to get extra storage, shame though..

[@timhosick9524]

I have tried 2 different flash drives. Chromecast will not recognize either

[@troypoint]

Hello, as my video states, format at FAT32 via guide linked in video description.

[@SFBenjaminK]

Ohhh Good Ole days ..old ass Chromecast TV dongle

[@caseyJames669]

How the hell do u get a cursor?

[@GABDAB]

Bluetooth mouse... Boom💥

[@ryanmedved6503]

Localhost connection failed what do I do?

[@troypoint]

Make sure USB debugging is turned on in developer options.

[@ryanmedved6503]

I already had it enabled and it still didn't work so I tried to disabling and enabling again and that didn't work either

[@abcddef2112]

Remote adb: key pair generation failed...hmm

[@troypoint]

Did you turn on debugging in developer options? Usually that's reason for this error.

[@abcddef2112]

@@troypoint yes

[@ahmedbenchaban8374]

Cable name plz

[@troypoint]

Everything is linked in the video description.

[@ciprianchiriac9252]

With 5555 dosent work. Thank s !

[@troypoint]

If running a VPN turn it off when you do this. 5555 does work.

[@juniordossantos7132]

Same situation. Did you find a way to make it work?

[@Max86421]

😒 I just want more storage nothing else...

[@kevinj8258]

Internal or Removable or external or Shared and any combination

[@josephblough5856]

File explorer has storage

[@doublehelix165]

Stupid google. Like google map update, what are these programmer doing? fixing issues makes more issues. I can predict that chatgpt beat stupid Bard.

[@Real_American_DAD]

Why bother expanding A CHROMECAST. Why not just buy a BETTER streaming device, to begin with ?! (There are MANY)

[@troypoint]

Agree with you but people don't realize this until they have already purchased.

[@kevinj8258]

$20 onn box in USA can do this. Lots of folks buy cheap and find out later. Chromecast is $30 in USA

[@MickySarge]

Chromecasts are inexpensive and I have not really run into any problems with any of mine. What are these better streaming devices?

[@troypoint]

Yes, and here's my video for that as well - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4HKmGCbrpiibZI
