Wan't to have the option to have a cursor on the screen with mouse functions. Hopefully, without requiring root access.

I've been testing out a bunch of different torrenting/streaming apk's and know that it can be risky. I'm mainly concerned with ransomware and getting locked out of my Nvidia Shield TV or anything else that could happen and survive a factory reset. Would any android AV products be good? I just installed an AVG apk but don't see if it has ransomware protection.

Also, is there anyway to auto update apk's?

Anyway to scan apk's before installing?

I was hoping to get a shield, but then realised my z906 speakers don't support HDMI. I checked the ports on the shield and there's no digital cable or analog. Is it possible to connect these speakers to a shield somehow?

Hi,

When I start my Mi Box with the equipped remote it doesn't always react, I have to press the power button a few times. I have Nougat beta 7.0.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I have 7.0 Nougat beta on my Mi Box, I can see they changed the voice ui. Is this Google Assistant? Or do i have to do something to activate it on my Mi Box?

Thank you!

So i have this problem that has been going on for the past few months but now seems to be getting even worse. After a certain amount of time (usually 2-3 hours but sometimes it has been as quick as 30 minutes) my Shield TV will just completely lose network connectivity. Its not just the internet I can't access my NAS either. A simple reboot always fixes it but it will also always occur again at some point its infuriating. It is not a wifi issue since I am hardwired in and literally not another single device in my house does this. I even have a MiBox in my bedroom that works perfectly. Anyone else have this issue? Here is what I have already tried to no avail.

-- Changed Ethernet cable

-- Set it to a static IP

-- Tried it over wifi instead of hardwired

-- Updated to the latest Shield software version

-- Updated router firmware

Hi,

I have a Mi Box running the 7.0 Beta with Tasker. I am trying to create an automation which runs every time you wake the Mi Box/turn it on. I have tried system boot, but nothing happens. What i try to run is an Harmony Hub activity which is a Tasker plugin. This works perfect when trying it in Tasker.

How do i make this run at Mi Box power on/waking up?

And i would like to run another thing at power off/sleep. Is this possible?

Its pretty sad my ps4 has the more up to date hulu app vs my shield any updates announced?

The picture is really laggy and blurry when something happens quickly. When I connect my PC and stream through a HDMI cable the picture is a lot better.

Am I doing something wrong? I am using VLC for android, are all the android tv's really bad at streaming high quality content from a PC?

Hi,

TL;DR: Does it harm the external HDD if I leave it plugged into the Shield 24/7??

I just bought the 2017 Nvidia Shield TV.

I have lots of movies in my 1 TB external HDD, and I usually watch 2-4 movies a day.

My question is if it harms the HDD if I unplug it when I'm done with it and then plug it again hours later? Is it better if I just leave it plugged? Won't it shorten the HDD's life?

What do you guys do usually?

Seeing that it went to playstore recently.....

Anyone seen this with their setup?

I have a Sony xbr850e with the plex app installed. Hard wired connection right into my switch connected to my desktop.

If I press fast forward (seek) a few times in a row it kills the playback. A work around is to press it once, wait 3 seconds, press it again, wait, etc but its annoying.

The new version just so cheap and clunky looking compared to the last one. Same with YouTube. It's like Google fired their design team and hired a bunch of amateurs. I feel like I'm on an old Roku from 2008.

Android on mobile is the exact opposite. It just keeps getting better, smoother, butterier, prettier. While Android TV seems like it set itself back a decade.

This will be our first Android TV Box, I want it to watch movies streamed online to 1080 from online or local plex server, preferably online via wifi. I am looking at the 2gb/16gb versions of each. It would also need to be able to use Netflix, Hulu and Amazon for movies like our old Roku does. I would like to keep it under $40. And I do plan on buying the MINX Lite to control it. What are your thoughts on these?

P.S. What is the difference between the MECOOL M8S Pro+ & the MECOOL M8S Pro W?
