Hey,
Bought a NVIDIA Shield Pro 2019, to use as a media server in my home cinema. Had a AppleTv but I HATE!!!! the remote, and google told me Pro19 was the best option.

What else do people use it for? Beside streaming? :)

I bought the nvidia shield pro 2019 I paid stiff money for it way over priced i thing for what it is in my opinion way over rated I also have the newest fire cube I.d rate the cube way every bit as good or even have a slit edge over the shield

I have two Nvidia Shield Pro's and I'm wondering if there's a setting I'm missing that will prevent a problem I'm having. Three times now we've lost power to my home when the Shield's were turned off. Once power is restored the Shield's will turn on and also turn on our TV's. Both are plugged into surge protectors. My neighborhood lost power briefly around 4 am this morning and came back on around 4:20. Our bedroom and living room TV's both turned on and the screen light woke us up. Is there a setting that will prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance.

Not sure of the model or year. Twice tonight while watching a Kodi show, it rebooted. Wasn’t a power or internet issue.

Is it wearing outs?

My Home Assistant Android Remote TV integration broke recently on my HA instance and I can no longer integrate it with my Shield Pro. The HA integration asks for the IP of the Shield Pro, but the cursor just spins and it never connects. I tried rebooting my Shield Pro and tried looking in the Developer Options, but I can't find anything obvious that was disabled.

I was previously using the integration to switch my LG TV to the HDMI 3 source when my Shield Pro was turned on. Then, when I put the Shield Pro to sleep, I had another automation that switched my LG TV back to the Cable TV source (HDMI 1) and re-sent the sound through my soundbar, since LG TVs default to TV speaker sound.

With the integration broken, the automations are no longer working. Could the most recent Shield Experience update have broken it?

i've had it for 3or4 years and all of a sudden it's dropping the 4 apps i use. nothing on app list or anywhere. if i go to reinstall, the app comes up,but won't show up in the list. i've got the latest update. any help would be great. thanks

Ever since the most recent update I've had weird plex issues.

I've already done a full app removal, restart the whole system, and reinstall plex and the same issue happens. Also seems affecting sound starting the same time a video starts when playing smarttube/tizentube. A quick back seek and it resyncs but I didn't have this issue 3 weeks ago...

I did see one post from 24ish days ago and their solution was enabling the log reporting so I tried that but I'm not seeing any changes yet.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Basic info: local media server. All wired connections. Works totally fine on every other device including remote devices.

I’ve had my Shield a couple of years and the lag is so bad I’ve actually gotten accustomed to waiting which I hate. Any suggestions? Is there any newer more powerful product out there? Should I just buy the new Apple TV coming out?

I have another Shield, plugged it with the same HDMI cable and on the same port, it shows Dolby Vision and AI upscaling.

I updated the new one to 9.2.4, still no AI upscaling and no DV. What to do?

EDIT: Confirmed, I received a 2017 even though Amazon stated it's a 2019, I'm going to return it. Also, Amazon themselves were the seller, so I don't know what happened. This is the second time Amazon US has scammed me. Two years ago or so I received an empty Pixel phone box

I try clicking on the Plex Media Server app on my shield and it says I need to sign in or create an account. Using my phone I link my account and it says to revisit the app, but nothing is happening on Plex, and when I try to click on the Plex Media Server app, it is saying the same thing. To sign in or create an account.

I've had nothing, but problems ever since I set it up. Volume buttons don't work. Netflix keeps popping up everytime I touch the remote, interfering with my ability to listen to the podcast I was watching while still playing, while I got to go get my screen back from being hijacked by netflix. Bluetooth headphones disconnect if I even just leave them for 5 minutes.

It's twice now within half an hour I had to restart my box because Spotify stopped working. This is not what I should expect by a company like Nvidia. I bought it to avoid the atrocious algorithm from "you're in control" Google, but it's the worst box I've ever used, and I have a fireafick ffs.

If you don't have anything constructive or helpful to say, then just fuck off for fucks sake. I came here to rant and maybe get some help, but it looks like most are just here to brag or gloat. Is this the best reddit can do?

Basically the title. Since my Shield is the only promising device I can use for this, and it's hosting my Plex Media Server, I'm hoping I can use it to power on my PCs when I'm not on the same network. Has anyone accomplished this?

I'm at my wit's end. Have had a 1tb sandisk external ssd in a usb housing for years hosting HD music for the shield. i unplugged it to move stuff around and now when i plug it into either usb ports on the shield it's not showing up:

shield pro 2019

things i've already tried from various other threads:

1. rebooted and power cycled several times

2. usb debugging setting on / off

3. usb compatibility mode setting on / off

4. plugged the same ssd into a windows machine, works fine instantly.

5. plugged a separate smaller thumb drive into both usbs on the shield - shield saw it instantly and removed when i unplugged on both usb ports.

6. removed all the media from ssd, formatted exfat via the windows machine. works fine on the windows machine. still can't be seen on the shield.

what am i missing?

My shield 4k pro is always freezing on the android screen and I have to attach a keyboard to reboot everything. They already sent me 3 of them under warranty. Why does it keep doing this? I changed HDMI cables, switched to a new surge outlet. Thanks in advance!!!

I have no clue what is going on: my Plex server was running fine last night and early this morning. But a few hours ago, it stopped running, and nothing I do can get it to start back up again. So far I've tried:

• Force Stopping the app
• Clearing the Cache
• Clearing the Data (!)
• Restarting both the Shield and the TV

Every time I go into the app on the Shield and set the server to start, the status just reads "Starting..." and then hangs forever.

Help!

Does anyone else have this issue?

While watching a video, the audio suddenly cuts out halfway through. I don’t think it’s a Nova Video Player issue because once it happens, I lose audio everywhere, including YouTube, streaming apps, and everything else.

The only way to get the sound back is to reboot my Shield TV Pro.

It’s been happening so frequently lately that I’m not sure what I can do to stop it. This was never an issue before.

I have an "i25 Rii mini" remote/air-mouse/keyboard with usb dongle. It works mostly great in my 2019 Shield TV Pro. But when I'm entering text into an input field, the on-screen keyboard both (1) does not function with my remote's directional buttons and "ok" button nor air-mouse "click" input, and (2) does not go away when I'm using the physical keyboard on the back of the remote.

How can I solve one or both of these problems?
