Spotify sound quality?

I'm not sure if I'm imagining it but listening to the same song on YouTube sounds much bassier than the same song played through the Spotify app. It also sounds better if I stream from my phone via Bluetooth to the receiver than through Spotify on my Nvidia shield. Do I have he wrong audio encoding set or something? I only have a 2 speaker system (monitor audio bronze 5s), maybe Spotify is configured for a 5.1 system?

How to delete the Vudu App (Shield 3.2)

I just updated to 3.2 and Vudu magically appeared on my home screen, but when I enter into the rearrange menu I can't delete it as though it's a stock app (Google play/movies/etc.)

Is this just a bug or is there actually no way to delete Vudu?

Update on recent theory: Amazon Video is coming to Nvidia Shield

Here is a new source of an Amazon employee saying that the App is coming:

I would like to inform you Amazon video business team is currently working on providing service on NVIDIA SHIELD. We have been receiving numerous feedback up on this issue, and we have taken this issue as a top priority.

[...]

As our team is working constantly to provide Amazon video service on NVIDIA SHIELD, I humbly request you to show your kind patience.

Here is a Nvidia employee indirectly saying it's coming (translated from german):

To make it short, 2 people complain that Amazon Video is still not available on Shield even though it is working on Android TV already (Sony).

The employee answers that "they are continuously working on bringing the best and most famous Apps to Shield TV".

Then someone else says (paraphrased): "doesn't Amazon prevent a release?"

Employee then answers "A little more patience :)".

Can Android TV devices play DVD/Blu-Ray?

Hi everyone!

Quick question I had -- I just ordered a Razer Forge box because of the sale they're having, and I'm wondering if I could use it to play DVDs or Blu-Ray discs. It does have USB on board, so I could attach an external drive; is there any software that can take advantage of that?

Dolphin Bar & Nvidia Shield TV Help

Just got the dolphin bar to use my wiimotes on my nvidia shield tv. However i cannot get it to work with Dolphin. I have been able to sync the remote to the bar, but not sure how to use it with the lastest version (5.0.xx). I really can't find any walkthroughs online, has anyone gotten it to work?
The only thing on youtube are videos showing games running, and the forums i've looked at haven't helped out.

Nvidia Shield TV + Plex Server = 1080p?

I have been using my Nvidia Shield's new features as soon as I got the latest update. Plex server has been running so great that I ended up buying a Plexpass and I'm thinking on ditching Kodi. But last night I noticed something that's pushing my OCD into overdrive. All my movies are 1080p, put Plex gives them to me at 720p. Almost all of the movies are played without any transcoding going on and I do not see an option to transcode at 1080p, but it does show options to transcode at 720p and below. My TV is 1080p ready and Kodi confirms that as well...Am I missing something?

One for All Remotes do work with the Nvidia Shield TV

So I just found this old thread of someone asking whether a One for All Remote supports the Nvidia Shield TV which never got answered.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/3nlymv/anyone_got_any_experience_with_the_one_for_all/

I own the One for All 7980 Smart Control Universal Remote (which is configurable via an App and Bluetooth) and it works with the built in IR Receiver of the Shield.

The code your looking for is "4918".

What works:

  • Power
  • Volume + Mute
  • Ok + Back + Home
  • Left/Right + Up/Down
  • Play + Pause
  • Rewind + Fast Forward
  • Volume Up/Down + Mute
  • Long press of buttons is supported (e.g. delete app, advanced power menu, ...)

Although it seems like an Android TV IR limitation, the following buttons do not work via IR:

  • Numeric numbers 0-9
  • Previous + Next
  • Close (Exit)
  • A, B, X, Y, brake, gas, left and right triggers, left and right bumpers

The only thing I'd like to see in an upcoming update is previous/next because it would be useful for Spotify and Plex. As the Logitech Harmony remotes also don't support this it seems like Nvidia needs to add this functionality themselves.

Other than that the remote works just fine. I even sold the included controller because I don't play any games on Shield.

Hope this helped!

Configure retroarch on nvidia shield

I downloaded retroarch on my nvidia shield. The shield controller seems to already be mapped fine, as well as my buffalo snes controller. However I also have a buffalo famicom controller I'd like to use but I get an error that the controller is not configured, so I can't use it. If I can't use it, I can't map anything to it because I can't even navigate the menu. How do I manually get this controller configured if I can't use it at all?

By the way the controller itself works just fine for the shield, it is just retroarch that complains it isn't configured.

Live channels custom list not permanent

I currently only have pluto tv as a channel source for live channels, but I use the live channels app instead because it allows you to pick and choose which channels to have on the program guide. However it always seems to default back to showing every channel rather than the ones I specify. Is there a reason why it does this? And how do I stop it from doing that?
