Is there an App that would let me control Shield via Windows PC instead of a phone. It would be cheaper and more convenient than another RF mouse or remote.

None of the Nintendo Wii games coming to SHIELD are native rather they are all streamed!!

[Update] Looks like all the Nintendo games coming to Nvidia SHIELD are Native after all :D . It was just a mistake on the site moderator

After some digging in Nvidia SHIELD Android TV's China site, I found out none of the Nintendo Wii title that are coming to SHIELD are native. Rather they will all be streamed by Greforce Now!!

Cannot pair Harmony Hub with the Shield TV (2015)

For the life me, I cannot figure out how to pair the bluetooth connection from my Hub to the App/Ultimate remote.

I have tried deleting the profiles on the remote and app ... but I still remain stuck on Shield's 'searching for bluetooth devices' screen.

Everything else works fine ... like the XBOX and Apple TV.

Makes me wanna rage like being stuck on that one level in the NES Ninja Turtle Game.

Any suggestions?!

Thank you!

Bluetooth Problems with Shield

Just received my box and I'm hoping someone can help me solve this problem. At first, I connected my Bluetooth headphones and the audio was cutting in and out. I use these headphones on my phone with no problem so I thought it was weird. I tried connecting through the game controller and am having the same problem. Anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?

HI, I've recently bought this MIBOX 4K International Version in Vietnam and everything's been working out well not until when I brought this box to Australia just today, when I tried turning it on the first time, I couldnt pair the remote with the box and it stuck so I unplugged it and tried again but then up until now it keeps on rebooting up until the 4 circles animation and once a while it keeps saying ''Optimising apps 13 out of 13'' and started rebooting, I couldn't hard reset due to the remote is not paired. Is there any way that I could hard reset it or is it bricked? Thank you.

PS1 emulation issues on Nvidia Shield TV

Hi everyone, I just got the chance of getting this beast and went for the 16 GB model, I’ve tried tried to emulate a PS1 game (Toy Story 2) and it runs so slow sometimes, which is weird to me as I’ve heard it runs up to PSP games flawlessly (hadn’t good experiences with Retroarch PSP either).

I’m running the PlayStore version of EPSXE, I’ve tried the cores available to download from Retroarch but they run worst.

Is there any particular setting I should be looking at?

Note: I don’t have a bios (is emulated or something like that), but I hardly doubt that fact impacts the performance.

EDIT: I've added a video where you can see how bad it runs.

YouTube native app sucks

Does anyone wise think that the latest YouTube App on androidtv is garbage? I can't believe how bad this upgrade has been and doesn't seem to our be a resolution in sight.

What kills me is how subscriptions have now amounted to one like of alphabetical lists of channels and their uploads in on line. Unbelievable. Having to scroll through the start of the alphabet each time you open a subscription and then constant clicking to get through the latest.

Just bad user interface completely after really enjoying the last version (red) this current version (black) is just God awful.

Anyone think the same or have some alternatives?

Mi Box: USB Microphone possible?

Hello, We have two Mi Boxes on the nougat beta. Over black friday, I picked up some harmony smart controls to connect to them. It works great, but there's the omission of microphone input. I've seen people report success connecting a webcam to sony android tv's and the nvidia shield, but I haven't had any luck with the mi box. I tried a PS3 eye, a logitech camera, and a microsoft one with no apparent results. Has anyone else had luck with this?

How to get your Fire stick select button to work in Amazon on Android TV

I saw this thread and it works. Figured prolly a buncha people in r/Android TV that were looking for a way to do it. Here's the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/5q61fh/amazon_video_with_fire_tv_remote_on_the_nvidia/

Here's what I did: Install the multilanguage remap apk on STV. Then, go into STV settings and change keyboard from leanback to MKR. Then, click add remap and click the button you want to change, then scroll through the options list and I changed it to enter. Working great. The op was correct though that if you exit amazon all the way, it will deactivate it. Don't exit just press home button. Worst case, if you exit and it deactivates remap, double press home button, and click the x to remove amazon from the recent list. That immediately reactivated it for me. Good thing is it survived a reboot too. Thanks to op /u/ASiDiE for the fix. Edit: I realize those instructions aren't too clear lol. Let me know if anyone has a question. Was very easy to do.

How to access external HDD plugged on MI Box from laptop ?

Just got a Mi Box plugged on the TV. Deezer, Youtube etc work okay, but the main use would be to play movies/series from the HDD.

I thought about having the HDD plugged on the laptop and playing from the MI Box, but the SMB support appears to be lacking. (depending on directories, I can browse files from the /Downloads/ folder, but not from externaldrive:/movies , failing login with correct credentials )

So I plugged the HDD into the box directly. It works fine, but I need to access the HDD from the laptop (c/p files, set up subtitles etc). I can't find the way to do that :(

Windows 8.1
Network shows MIBox 3 but no way to access
SMB only shows my user account
Tried installing a SMB server on the box but doesn't seem to work with external storage.

What am I doing wrong ?

EDIT : using Plex works. Overkill though, but hey.

Slow connection speed with 100mbps NBN

So I got nbn internet connected at 24mbps and all was well. I was getting 24mbps when I tested the connection on my ps4. I decided to upgrade to 100mbps to stream 4k videos and ever since the upgrade my ps4 is showing around 10mbps in speed test. Kodi is barely able to stream 720p and I still cant watch 4k on youtube on my android tv without buffering. Speed test results on my samsung phone are around 94mbps. Any ideas? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Thanks in advance.
