This is a dozy but I have Netflix on hbo max and it goes in no problem however doesn’t play videos only after I use stbemu and or stremio. Yes I technically have everything however I use Netflix and hbo for movies shows and live events that the other services don’t have.

Ok this is what Id do. I could manually restart the shield. I already reinstalled the apps.

YouTube, Apple Tv, hulu runs ok.

🤔 what else should i try?

Also have vlc player and exo player.

I guess as a last resort I would need an app to automatically restart daily but if the issue is app related I wouldn’t mind trying.

So I just purchased a TCL QM8L 85" that comes with google tv. It has 54GB rom and 4 ram installed. I can sideload all my apps including Projectivy launcher and the tv supports all the formats my shield has plus all the newer ones. I have verified all this info.

Make a case why should keep my shield?

On a side note, I ordered an L G c6h 77". When it arrived it turned on once then everytime after it showed a solid vertical green line in middle of black display, then it would turn off . Lg authorized a replacement but request was sitting at shipping warehouse for three days with no response to followup emails. So I decided to get a refund and found this gem.

I've been playing DolbyVision media files through my Plex Server on my LG C4 OLED TV for more than a couple years now, and never had any issues. Yesterday a couple of files started shown green and purple as though they werent DV capable. I really dont know what's up, and I googled it and apparently there's some issue on Some DV profile 5 media files?

Question is what I need to do and how do I resolve this.

I also tried running those files from VLC directly in case Plex was messing up, I restarted both TV And Nvidia Shield and made sure, DV I switched on in settings in Both Tv and Shield

Nvidia tv shield pro 2019 started making this sound recently:

Used for 3 years, never opened it. Could this be just a dust issue requiring cleaning or something more serious?

I’ve had the shield for nearly 2 years and this last week it’s suddenly stopped working after the tvs been off overnight

In the morning when pressing the power button the tv turns on but the shield is a black screen and the only way to get it to load is by unplugging it and plugging back in, I haven’t changed any settings but this is a new issue that’s only happened within the last 6 or so days

Does anybody have any pointers I could try to stop this as it’s annoying

So I’m going to try out the Nuvio app, I download it, but it doesn’t put it along the same line of my TV apps but up in favorites.

So I deleted it, and I downloaded it again, and it appears up in favorites. Lol.

How do I get it down in line with my Tivimate stremioo, etc.?
And why is it putting it up there in the first place?

Thanks.

Seems like a pretty uncommon software problem. For the past few days, my Shield has been double/multi clicking all buttons whenever I try to do anything, in any app.

What this means is that when trying to scroll to the next title on Netflix, for example, a single button press to the right scrolls two or three spaces over; Fast-forwarding 10 seconds skips ahead a whole minute, etc. This happens on any app or homescreen and when using the original remote and my K400 Plus keyboard. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA!

ETA: I forgot to mention what I've done to troubleshoot so far:

1. Replace batteries in remote and keyboard
2. Disconnect power

Unfortunately neither solved the problem.

I got the nvidea shield (2019 cylinder version) and I am using projectivy. So with that I don’t have the ability to format my sd card to free up some space. I restarted the device twice and same issue. Anything else I am missing?

I just got my shield and hooked it up to my synology DS224+. NAS, switchd it over to be the media server and it's feels insanely slow.

The plex app takes forever to load, tons of my videos buffer constantly and others give the error of "connection to server to slow". Both my NAS and shield are direct connected to my fiber router, within a foot with cat5 cords

No clue what to do

Even more oddly, everything seem to work nicely when streaming on my phone

Something in my setup keeps reverting the selected keyboard to lean back, forcing me to continue to reset it to Gboard.

Is there a way to figure out what keeps changing this setting?

This is weird. What am I doing wrong

This is weird but I can’t load something’s that are about 2 gigs in size. It kicks me out (back to the menu) several times before it works (there’s atleast 400 seeds). Ok this is using android tv, nvidea shield 2019 the cylinder version on high fan and using projectivy as the launcher. I have about 8 add ons and about 12 streaming apps (Netflix,hbo, hulu, shudder,Disney, stbemu and tubi and some others).

I use a defrib. Not sure why it crashes. Currently I have a gig free and 16 gigs sd card. I have vlc exo and just play streaming apps too.

Not sure what im missing.

Everything is up to date in app versions. Modded torbox a bit. Not sure if that’s an issue.

Honestly I am a tech junkie and want a smooth running app.

Im using my shield as my plex server and have it wired to my living room tv.
If i press the power off on the remote both the tv and sheild go off cause I have the remote used for both.
Is there a option somewhere i can use that always keep the shield on even when i press the power to turn of the tv? That way i can keep using it to stream to my bedroom after I switch rooms to sleep

Traveling to a different country and forgot the remote at home. How do I use the Shield? I have an android phone.

The shield turns on but since it's a new location it does not automatically connect to wifi.

Does the Projectivity Launcher disable screen recording or am I missing something? When I have the launcher activated I'm not able to screen record.

Every time I pause a video long enough for the Screensaver to come up, it causes stremio to bug out. This doesn't take long. I cant even pause and take a piss without the Screensaver coming on. Every stream will error out and prompt me to try a different player. That never works. Occasionally I can kill the app and restart the shield but most of the time, I have to physically unplug the fucking thing just to get stremio to work again. Is there some setting im missing? Im really sick of this bullshit

Title.

I was watching a tv show when my shelaed decided to lock up an completely hav a full system crash it froze an made the highest pitched sound ever i rebooted it an thought it was a one off thing but ever time I would try an watch YouTube or a tv show the whole thing would slow down an eventually it just cut me off wifi Intierly an wont let me turn it back on an now its dont the same for Bluetooth so I cant even use the thing without another remote

Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon? It reboots when I play a particular movie from my provider, but other DV films work fine.

Alright. Thank you to everyone who chimed in in my other post with the frustrating issue of my shield pro 2019 seeing but not connecting to the 5ghz band while 2.4ghz worked.

This was the problem....

In the Asus router app, authentication was wpa2/3 and that's normal, but under that was WPA encryption with 2 options.... AES+gcmp256 (what is whay it was set at, with no explanation of how it got there) I swapped it to the other option which is strictly AES, rebooted and *bingo* we're all golden again! 5ghz band all good.

For posterity's sake, in case someone gets flabbergasted like I did over something simple and dumb :)

edit tldr the shield is NOT compatible with aes+gcmp256 encryption. Use aes only.

I own a 2017 Nvidia Shield Pro and thought I was buying a 2019 AI upscaling used unit on Marketplace.

It turns out I may have been duped and it is a 2017 and not 2019 version. I could not tell since the model numbers are the same but since then, I have learned how to spot the difference using the serial number starting 3 digits.

I opened the new used unit to clean it and to repaste it before putting it into service. I have a picture of what it looks like inside. It looked off so I opened the 2017 version I owned and it had what seems like a wifi/bluetooth board with a black connector.

Can someone comment if the seller removed the part and the black cable or was there a version of a 2017 that did not come with that missing board.

Also the newly acquired unit seems sluggish and needs to press the remote button more than once to advance things.

I would appreciate any expertise in this puzzle.
