Voice Search works if I use it when I open the search for an add-on, but I can't figure out how to enable SPMC to show up in the Recommendations Bar or the universal search in Android TV. At least, I think it's supposed to work in the universal search.

Thr documentation is really unclear.

Settings > Services > Web Server is enabled.

Beyond that, I don't understand what to do.

I really would like to play this old game. I can get a wireless controller or keyboard but what about the game?

I can't stomach paying $50 for the TV remote. Anyone know of a good (cheaper) alternative? Something like a Mi Box / Apple TV / Fire remote that works over Bluetooth?

Is deep color one of the many bugs the Mi Box has? I have three 1080p TV's at my house still (wife said can't buy 4k until a TV breaks). All three can do deep color mode.

When I turn on deep color on the Mi Box it stays on while the box is powered. When I put it to sleep or reboot the box, I find deep color is turned off.

Just wondering if this is happening for anyone else?

So I just got my Mi Box (international variant - Android TV) and I just noticed that whenever I cast 60fps videos (YouTube/Twitch streams) from my devices, it only playbacks at 30fps or even lower.. Weird enough. Just wondering that am I the only one who's encountering this problem? If so, is there a solution to it? Thanks

Edit: The YouTube app plays 60fps videos just fine, but the built-in Google Cast doesn't. And I've also went to the developer options and switched to best frame rate instead of best resolution.

I keep having issues with streaming playback. It will play for a bit but eventually stop and restart from the beginning.

Does the Nvidia Shield make for a good Plex Server? Will it have issues transcoding 1080p video with soft subtitles?

I currently have a 16gb Shield that is rooted. I plan on adding an external 4tb HD as adopted storage to store additional video files (I know that the 16g will be used solely for metadata, since I read that metadata won't store on adopted storage). Only one person will ever be streaming at a time (me) and it's very important to me that it can play high quality video files with zero issues.

Would love input from anyone that has an Nvidia Shield as their Plex Media Server.

I've been looking everywhere! Is it sold out everywhere? I would prefer the Shield but i've looked for the Forge TV and Mi box as well, no luck! I can only find boxes that are either used or abnormally overpriced. Is it because of the holiday season? Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these boxes online (preferably the shield)?

Is any of you knows if it's possible to play co-op multi platforms ? I mean can i play on my Shield TV with some friends who plays on a Windows PC ?

Do i need a special program to simulate local connexion ? If yes, which program exist ?

Thanks in advance. Kodatrololo

I'm considering getting a new Android TV (Sony 800D) primarily for watching IPTV via a custom provider app (Kuki TV). Can you tell whether can Android TV run the last active app after turning off (as Tizen does) or I have to run my IPTV app manually each time I turn on TV?

Anyone can get me the NBC Sports Live apk for the Fire TV? Anyone got to work with the Shield?

Hey guys,

I've been using openelec/kodi for a long time, but the lack of streaming services (netflix, directv etc) is forcing me to look at alternatives.

I'm hoping someone can tell objectively if the nvidea shield is a good replacement for openelec.. here's what I use openelec for

PseudoTV - this is a kodi addon, that requires a lot of processing power. I know this is laggy on the firestick, will it work well on the shield?

Logitech harmony remotes - I connect right now via bluetooth, can I still use these remotes on the shield?

Native MKV playback - I play videos via samba shares from a windows server. Will android tv stutter / break on non mp4 content, will I have to transcode? Does SMB work on android TV?

Custom kodi python scripts - I map kodi key commands to call python scripts on the filesystem.. will this still work? Is there a native python interpreter?

SSH - I like to be able to ssh into my kodi box and debug, write scripts etc, is there some alternative way to do this on android tv? Is the file system a black box to the user?

CEC - I see that the shield has CEC support, but do they allow you to execute CEC commands at will? For example, on openelec I can run a bash script like this to power-on my TV echo "on 0" | cec-client -s -d 1 Is there some android equivalent?

I am looking for Android TV version of BBC iPlayer app for my 930D Sony TV. The Nvidia version doesn't work well and a generic android app requires mouse to operate. Any help would be appreciated

Hoping I can get some help here. Googling didn't really give me any results.

I have an Nvidia shield connected to an onkyo tx-nr656 in a 2.2 port with an HDMI 2.0 cable. I have audio passthrough enabled on the shield; however, when I play an mkv file with a 5.1 audio stream on either Plex or spmc, I don't hear any voices. I only hear music and what I assume is the rear channel ambience.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I have store credits saved but I see it isn't compatible, anyone have luck sideloading it?

I can never get it to connect on either WiFi or Bluetooth.

This strange white circle with a blue play symbol in the middle of it is always on the right side of the screen when I'm using my shield tv. Anyone else experienced this? Anyone know how to make it go away?

Thanks!

I recently purchased a Mi Box to replace my dead Roku 3, and have been loving it at far. After a bit, I realized I could install SNES9X and play some old favorites on it. The only realistic controller I own that would work is the Ouya Bluetooth controller.

It paired easily enough, but I get really really bad input lag. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone else have this issue? If so, any work around?

Thanks guys!
