How to move games to external USB on Sony Android TV - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

Just got myself a Sony kd75xg8796bu which has Android TV and decided would install some games on it .. which worked for Asphalt 8 .. but then realised that there is not that much space available (8gb'ish ) ... so I have added a 64Gb USB drive, which it sees and allowed me to format .. so far so good
So, my next thing I wanted to do was move the Asphalt 8 Game across to this drive, however ... even though it shows that the game is 1.2Gb in size, it only shows 143Mb on teh USB drive, and now am left with hardly any free space on the internal
Looking around the web, it seems that you should be able to move, but I don't seem to be able to .. any ideas?

I also have added in sony android tv a 64gb usb stick as internal. It formated and I see it in settings as 64gb. But i move an app there 10mb, and it show me 2giga free in the usb..? How can it be? Any idea? I should have almost 64 giga free not 2..

[Q] Sharing Memory Cards Android/PC

I'm eagerly awaiting my XP to arrive at my house tomorrow. I'm familiar with Android devices (I own a Droid, Droid 3, Archos 70 and a Kindle Fire) so I've already got a list of apps to install, ISO rips to play and I've been reading up on the XP unique features.
My question is about PSXPERIA's game saves. Are they saved in a format that is also compatible with PC emulators? (Like ePSXe) Has anybody found an easy way to Syncronize the game saves from your Xperia play so that when you load the game on a PC you can pick up where you left off?
I'd imagine that it would be possible with apps like Dropbox, but that would be a hassle to drag and drop to each folder when going from the XP to the PC.
Thanks!
I think they are compatible because they stick with a 128KB file size so they can be interchangable, not 100% though, you could do a sync with the folder in ePSXe to the phone at each connect with the pc

Internal SD full - how to install the games to the external SD instead?

I bought GTA3, NFS:MW and Max Payne today and immediately after installing I noticed that my internal storage is nearly full. I have a 32gb external micro sd and I would prefer to install heavy games on it instead.
What are my options?
I use directory bind.

Make sure your external card is fast enough. Example class 10 or U1.

Directory Bind will be the best way....... I even use it to store my PAPAGO map......

I already moved my 2GB games, such as Asphalt 7 and N.O.V.A 3 to my 32GB external sd card.
Just do that: Apps + My Files + All Files + external sd card + create here folder 'Games'.
Then, push 'back' button + sd card + find 'Android' folder + choose those heavy files + move them to external sd card ('Games' folder).

Link2SD Nvidia Shield Android TV Version

Food for thought,it works on the phone,so the shield is just a very over sized phone. I think it would work.and plus your storage space can be devoted to whatever you choose!
I got extra shield i'm going to play with and see if i can format it like my phone with link to2sd and see h it responds. What do you guys think,yes no,or maybe so? :silly:Give me some feedback,thanks:silly:
can anyone tell me on the 2015 Shield Tv,when you use sdcard does it mount as ext 2,3,4?

Question does using a external harddrive make the fire tv have more storage or just s

My title pretty much says it all but like if I use a external HD will it act ad more space or just extra space to put things on
Just plugging in the hard drive will mount it and allow for you to store files on it like a regular flash drive, and you can use it for multimedia, storing your video, music, and photos on it, then viewing them with Kodi, or your multimeda app of choice. Basically anything that isn't an app can be stored on it and loaded from it with the corresponding app. Fopr example, I use an app called Joiplay to play RPG Maker and Ren'py games, as well as Retroarch for emulators. I store all my game files on a regular flash drive.
You will not be able to use it as extra storage space for intalling apps and app data however, without the use of an app or Xposed/Magisk module.
Personally, I use Apps2sd Pro to "link" (or move, to put it simply) apps to a 20gb EXT4 partition on my 32gb microSD card that is in my Fire TV 2, it's the easiest method that I was able to figure out how to use, but there are other ways.

Newbee Here! Forgive my lack of knowledge for now please!

Yes I am a newbee here and I admit this forum looks a bit over my head at the first look. I have a 50" Insignia Amazon Fire TV that I bought a while back from Best Buy. Admittedly I do not watch a lot of things every day or night, but mostly I will sit and watch a TV shows (seasonal series) type of programs. Not into News (fake news) or music all that much.
I am now just educating myself about things like KODI where I can get live TV and ALL the other goodies via using the down loader app and the steps described as from some of the YT video channels gurus!
After initially doing this I began to get the "LOW STORAGE" (aka low memory) 8GB of Internal Storage. I added a USB 8GB thumb-drive on the left side panel and was able to "move" a few of the downloaded apps to the external memory (USB). However unless I get the internal memory "FREED-UP" so there is 500MB of open space on the internal memory the LOW STORAGE WARNINGS (aka "pop-ups") come back! Arrg!
I am wondering what else I can do to not fill up the 8GB of internal memory bank? Some of the Amazon (extra features) packaged goodies like Photos and Music etc. Are things I wish I could delete but there is no "delete" option in the Application Management function. I would like to remove some of the "pre-loaded extras I probably won't ever use .
I know there must be others here who understand the issues -- I have read a couple of the threads -- but they get a bit too technical for me - at least at this point in my learning curve. If someone can give me some third grade level help that would be appreciated here. Thanks!

The simple answer to your question would be to not use kodi on such a low memory device.
Kodi uses a lot of cached space so is not ideal for devices with low storage.
If you are able to use external storage then you can use this to hold most of kodis files.
If not, then.. are you not able to use a couple of movie apks such as cinema HD or Film+ instead as these apks are small in size, use minimal space and do the job well (just install vlc and mx player alongside).

Thank you! Yes I will research where I can get the lowest CACHE eating apps. And remove KODI as you are indicating it is not great for a low memory device such as my Insignia Fire TV with it's mere 8GB of internal storage.
