Thank you for providing the answers to my questions. I have taken a look at the VU TVs and I can see that they use Android TV.
Android TV is not an officially supported platform, which would explain why the Player is not starting automatically. I’m not familiar with the VU TV brand, but there may be an option in the TV settings that will allow you to set an app to start on power up.
I can also see that there are apps available for Android TV that allow you to set an app to start when the TV is switched on. I haven’t used any of these apps so I cannot officially recommend them, but it does mean that there may be a solution to this issue.
I have included a link to our Recommended Android Hardware Guide, which lists officially tested devices:
If you are not able to find an option to auto start an app on the TV, you may have to consider an alternative solution for your Hardware.
Many Thanks.
