Possible to use Shield Controller wireless on PC? If not, what controllers do you suggest for both Shield TV and PC?

Basically I'm having issues getting my XBOX controller and 2017 Shield controller to work together when using GeForce now. So I'm looking for the best solution for controllers that I can use on both Shield TV and PC. I really like the shield controller, but I can't seem to find if it can be used wireless on PC

Mounting SMB shares on a Windows NAS (nVidia Shield)

I saw this come up in another thread from a year ago but no resolution.. so I was hoping someone has figured it out now. When I try to mount a SMB share from my homemade Windows NAS, no matter what username/password I use (administrator, local user, AD user, with or without domain name) it won't mount saying invalid username and password. I am, however, able to mount shares from another OpenELEC box elsewhere in the house. I've verified SMBv1 is enabled on the NAS and made sure everyone has full control of the shares, yet always invalid username or password. Strange thing, every one in ten times I try it, it'll say "connecting..." forever. I check the event viewer on the NAS and there is a constant "login success" then immediately "log out" over and over from the Shield. Any ideas?

devices that support google cast?

Hi

I'm not clear in the google cast and its requirement, is it related to android's software or hardware? I searched about the list of devices that support google cast so I can pick up one of them and I start to mirror my phone's screen to the TV. I have found only three: nividia shield tv, mi box and razer? Is there any device that support a google cast ?

Rockstar games for Android TV: I don't have the Social Screen login screen

Hi, has anyone ever faced the same problem?

I can not restore my progress in the cloud because the game does not show me the login screen. This is frustrating.

Strange that this happens only in Android TV (Mi Box), on my tablet and smartphone does not occur.

I tested with GTA San Andreas and Bully, both have the same problem.

EDIT: I'm sorry, the tittle was to be "I don't have the Social Club login screen", not Screen

Using USB 3.0 network adapters with Android TV

Lately I got myself a Sony Bravia TV with Android TV 7.0. While I really enjoy the system the network connection is not suited for 4K playback. Streaming 4K files from SMB network shares with Kodi is quite laggy - it seems that the AC WiFi connections does ~4mb/s and the LAN connection limits at ~6mb/s.

I wondered if anyone got a USB 3.0 gigabit network adapter to work with Android TV? I have one from HooToo around, but it didn't work out of the box.

Is a Xiaomi Mi Box 4k any good?

I am debating between a FireTV and a Mi box. Anyone have any ideas on whats better? I hear there are a lot of problems with the Mi Box using chrome cast. Also I hear the 4k video is awful on it. Is this true? I am not concerned that much about google cast as I doubt I would use it that much at all, but I hear the 4k on it is pretty bad, and that's the main reason why I would get it. I saw it only plays at 30hz in 4k as well, anyone have any complaints about this, or does it look good anyways? What are your experiences with it? Thanks for any help/advice

Looking for a great Android TV Device box but on a budget!

Hello everyone! I currently have a Minix X8-H Plus, but it looks like it won't be getting an Android 5.1 Lollipop update very soon and I think it's time for me to get a new TV box.

My budget is around $70 at the most. What would you recommend? I'd like a android tv device to last me at least 2 years or have updates through Android to be a little long-lasting.

Really interested in the Mi Box 3. Any problems with Wi-Fi or anything for the box? Where can i order one? Thanks for any advice!

Xbox One S Controller with Nvidia Shield Help

I don't really like using the Nvidia Shield's controller. PS4 controller with Shield has some lag, so I don't like that either. I bought an Xbox One S controller because all the games reference the Xbox One controller anyways, it works well on PC, and I read it would work with the Shield.

Here is the problem, Xbox One S controller does connect with Bluetooth to Shield, but I booted up a few Game Stream games and the mapping is all messed up. From my google searching I found a mapping fix here on reddit but it requires rooting my Shield, which sounds too complicated and too much work for this one purpose. The Reddit post here with the root fix was made 11 months ago. I am hoping there is another solution? I find it ridiculous that this controller is not working, and there is not some easy app I can download that will fix the remapping. Is there an easy fix?

UPDATE: It's working. A lot of people said I had to update the Xbox One S controller. I plugged it into my PC and download the Xbox accessories app and it didn't have any updates, so I assumed I was up to date. My overall Windows did not say there was any updates either, but I found out I did not have the Windows 10 Creators Update installed, so I updated my PC by doing that, and when I used the Xbox Accessories app then, there was another update for the Xbox One S controller that it didn't have before I had the Creators Update installed. Once I updated it again, the mapping and stuff was finally fixed on the Shield.

TL;DR The fix is to update the Xbox One S controller with Xbox Accessories App, but make sure your Windows 10 is updated with the Windows 10 Creators Update (maybe just the Anniversary Update will work too). Then it should update fully, and will work with the Shield.

Mi Box Remote won't pair

Hi all,

A couple of days ago I had a power outage at home and when I switched on the Mi box the remote wasn't working. I tried repairing it but couldn't find a way. I went to settings and pressed the add devices mode and tried pressing back and home at the same time but I couldn't pair the remote again. Tried changing batteriess as well. Nothing is working and it's a pain in the ass because I have to disconnect it from the power every time I switch it off to turn it back on and it takes ages for my IPTV app to load.

Can someone please help?

Thanks :)
