Guest got my nVidia Shield TV (2017), is there a way to disable auto-play on the YouTube App?

As title, can I stop the YouTube App from automatically playing the next video when one finishes? This is an option on the Apple TV version, but I can't see to find it anywhere for Android TV.

Edit: God damn it, title Guest = Just.

Gen2 shield frustrating setup experience

I bought a brand new gen 2 shield, and I keep running into roadblocks during setup.

First time - I tried setting it up using my phone. It said, something went wrong after my phone connected. OK sure, but the box froze and I have to unplug it and start again.

Second time - after manual setup, the setup wizard crashes when it asks me to turn on location services. Box frozen again. Cool. Time to restart again.

Third time - finally get to the Shield experience update download. 1.07 GB to download. After I see the progress bar get to 1.07 GB, it says "download failed" and has to restart again from scratch.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Did anyone else have these problems?

Returned my MiBox for an Nvidia Shield 2017

I highly recommend doing the same as I did, the MiBox is really subpar equipment. The MiBox constantly reset video settings, was randomly choppy and audio sometimes cut out and needed a reboot. Just got the new Shield today and everything is smooth and no bugs whatsoever. Xiamo's poor support killed it for me, their answer to all bugs is a factory reset.

How can I get rid of Insert

There is this Insert on the right mid area of mi box screen , it shows a thumbnail of whatever movie/show is being played or a blue note 'image' when nothing is playing. Sometimes it disappears but always returns after a while. Does anyone know how to get rid of it permanently? Can't seem to find an option under settings.

PS. I have a photo but don't know how to attach images here.

Nvidia Shield audio keeps cutting out when wearing headphones...

I just got a new shield today, and one thing that is extremely annoying is that whenever headphones are plugged into the controller, the audio cuts out every 10-15 seconds. It's very slight, but very noticeable.

Is there a fix for this?

TV box that works with USB gamepads?

My MXQ pro 4k does not work with USB gamepads. It doesn't have Bluetooth as well. Everything I tried so far didn't work, so I just look for a box that works with any generic USB gamepad. Can anyone here recommend a box that works with USB gamepads so that I can play emulator games on my TV?

newbie trying to set up a pvr on shield with hdhomerun, totally puzzled.

I have hdhomerun extend, and it works in shield's kodi, but my google-fu is too weak to discover how to download, install and configure a pvr add-on. Thanks.

edit, I also have a synology diskstation? is there a way to pvr using that?

edit2, ok, I've used Synology's Video Station, which recognized the two tuners in my hdhomerun extend, to schedule recordings. It's difficult because there's no guide (I used tv.com/listings). Before I scheduled something first I made sure I could receive the channel - did that by using hdhomerun's viewing software on my laptop.

I'm going to look into synology's tvheadend next.

edit3, ok I've just installed tvheadend on the synology. had a few kinks I worked out:

First off, the synocommunity tvheadend is out of date, synology users can go here to download the latest versions.

Then, two problems cropped up at different times. First I couldn't get tvheadend to see the hdhomerun. Then, when I installed the most recent version of tvheadend, I couldn't login, even when I set it up with the defaults (admin, admin).

This solved both of those problems. Basically you install another source in package center and then install a 'sundtek' tv tuner.

Then I followed this tutorial to set up the networks, etc. Super helpful.

I haven't yet figured out how to get program scheduling data on the synology but I see from my googling that it's fairly easy on the kodi.

And that's as far as I've gotten...

edit gazillion: I just realized I should probably be doing this on my shield instead of on the synology, I'll look into it tomorrow...

Gen 2 remote already dead ?

Update: ended up contacting Amazon and they are shipping me a new shield. (Couldn't just ship me a remote, have to do the full device)

So I picked up a gen 2 shield TV off Amazon this week. Has been pretty awesome so far. Except I think my remote already died.. I know it's supposed to last a year and there were some known issues with it that were fixed in a firmware update. My remote is on 1.03 and I tried removing batteries and putting them back in but my controller just does not want to work. Thankfully my Samsung TV remote works with the shield (or the gaming controller) so I have a workaround but I rather use the shield remote. Anyone have any ideas or should I just order some new batteries ??

Feed Rogers Cable Box feed into Android TV

So I must admit I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to Android TV. My Sony TV came with it and I never really played with it much but I've accidentally discovered a few cool features of it that I'd love to be able to use.

The thing is, I live in Canada and have a Rogers "Nextbox" in order to get my HD Cable (ie. I'm not using an antenna). Is there any way to get these two things to talk to each other so I can use cool features like the Android TV Guide or "Live Channels" app? I read somewhere that old GoogleTV used to support something called HDMI pass thru? Not sure if that's true.

My TV is a Sony Bravia w800c
