I have now installed and tested 37.1.generic. With the new Opera version I can watch https://www.br-klassik.de/concert/ausstrahlung-775304.html in fullscreen mode but the browser is otherwise pretty much unusable: the application can only be controlled with a connected mouse and replay controls (pause/resume, backwards/farwards) immediately freeze 37.1.generic. Streams of the Wiener Staatsoper cannot be decoded with 37.1.generic (the same streams can be decoded fine in Opera 32.0.2036.0). Summing up, 37.1.generic is not usable in Androis TV, unfortunately.

Description: Although Android TV comes with a pre-installed DCH app, Opera does not use this app for opening links to DCH contents. Instead, in just opens the links in a new Opera tab. This has dramatic consequences because Opera renders DCH streams poorly.

Steps to reproduce: open for instance https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/de/concert/3470 in Opera for Android TV

Actual result: the link is opened in a new Opera tab.

Expected result: the link is opened in the DCH app

Version of Opera: 32.0.2036.0 (latest version of Opera for Android TV)

Description: on http://www.staatsoperlive.com/en/vod/27/parsifal-gratis/#tab_0 dragging the replay cursor forwards or backwards does not work.

Steps to reproduce: open http://www.staatsoperlive.com/en/vod/27/parsifal-gratis/#tab_0 (you have to register and make a 0 EUR payment) and try to move the replay cursor forward, for instace to time=30min.

Actual result: nothing happens, the cursor cannot be dragged and one is forced to watch the stream (5 hours and 14 minutes) from the beginning.

Expected result: to be able to drag the cursor to an arbitrary position in time between 0:00:00 (Anfang) and 5:14:13 (Ende).

My understanding is that Opera is the only browser for which a specific version for Android TV has been developed. This is probably one of the reasons why Android TV comes with Opera and not with Chrome.

The problem with generic browsers and Android TV is that the cursor can only be controlled via mouse, not using the remote. This is the case for Chrome and Chrome_Beta. I'll try 37.1.generic and report back, thanks for the link!

I have discovered two more problems with Opera 32.0.2036.0:

1. Opera does not open a link to Digital Concert Hall (DCH) contents with the DCH app. Instead, the link is opened in Opera itself.

2. On many video streams, dragging the cursor forwards/backwards does not work.

I am going to post specific reports on these two issues later. 1) is very annoying because Opera does a very poor job of rendering DCH streams. By contrast, the DCH app works fine.

@leocg: I cannot update Opera. 32.0.2036.0 seems to be the most recent Opera version for Android TV 6.0.1, unfortunately.

Description: on https://www.br-klassik.de/concert/ausstrahlung-775304.html Opera fails to enlarge to go into fullscreen mode.

Steps to reoroduce: open https://www.br-klassik.de/concert/ausstrahlung-775304.html in Opera in Andoroid TV and try to select the fullscreen button (bottom right).

Actual result: selecting the fullscreen (and pause/resume buttons) has no effect. Volume and dragging the cursor on the replay bar backwards and forwards work flawlessly.

Expected result: selecting the fullscreen button should change to fullscreen mode.
