Nvidia Shield TV Home screen request

I would like to know if there is anyone on here who can add the ability to add some lines of code to Shield TV stock os so that it would be possible to have more than 2 rows of apps on the home screen. I am thinking it wouldn't be hard as there are developers who make custom firmware for the Shield TV. If you can or know someone who is a developer or coder and can make this happen i am willing to donate. Thank you

Reliability of plex on nvidia shield TV

Lately, it seems like Plex has more and more issues playing media on my nVidia Shield. Certain movies and tv that play fine on my phone (android), roku, Mi Box, and web browser will not play on my Shield. It's not all media, but it is always the same media. I haven't started to dig into it the commonality, but has anyone else seen this? If I install Kodi with the Plex plugin, the same videos will play just fine. I find it surprising I have so many issues given how closely the plex devs worked with nvidia to get the server working on the shield; I would expect playback to be a breeze.

Update: After using ExportTools to export all of the codec information about all of my media, I was able to narrow down playback issues to any media with EAC3 audio. With that information, I was able to identify a resolution which was to delete the Codecs folder in my plex application path on the plex server itself. Upon restart, all of my EAC3 media is now playing without issue! Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone.

Moving game library from SATV to FTV 2?

I sold my SATV which had a decent Android gaming library and got a FTV2 Box (i know, it's a big step back). I'm trying to see if it's possible to get some of these games running on my FTV (with appropriate google play store/services, of course).

So is there any way to get each apk from my Play Store library, without currently owning a SATV, to try on my aftv? I'm aware that the aftv doesnt have the horsepower for some of the games, but I'd like to try. Play Store won't let me download anywhere, so i can't extract the apk.

Amazon Instant Video

I have an NVIDIA Shield and am very happy with it but looking to buy a second Android TV box (probably a mi 2??). A potential deal breaker is the availability of the Amazon Instant Video app. I know this is on the Shield but a google hasn't really answered the question for other android tv boxes.

Can anyone let me know their own experiences please?

Can Android Oreo shrink tv picture?

There is different recommended watching distance for SD and HD content. My distance 8.8 feet for 65 inch tv is ideal for HD content but wrong for SD content. I thought that solution would be simple - shrink image for SD content (I mean mostly some older things in over the air broadcast). But I found no such setting on my Android tv and it seems that there is currently no solution to this problem. I run Android Nougat and as I have 2018 model of Philips tv, there is a chance that I will get Oreo or even Pie update. Does newer Android allow zooming out picture?

Any way to replace Sony launcher?

As we all know Android TV is a good idea. Using slow hardware in a TV is not that user friendly. Is there any way and a good alternative to the launcher of Sony. I tested done from play store that works but do not replace the home screen at all. I just want to see some favorite apps instead of advertisement, proposals and store entries.
