Nvidia Shield not working on LG 65UF9500

I have tried all HDMI inputs, different cables and the shield works if I connect it to the input of my XBOX One although there is no controller support or 4K res so this won't work out. If I unplug the shield you see the Nvidia logo after you plug it back in but that's it. I have read that there were issues with the NP and LG TVs but never with the Shield. Does anyone know of a way to get this working before I spend hours with techs from Nvidia an LG?

Autostart Kodi with Marshmallow update

Was trying to figure out if this still works before I go updating to Marshmallow. Currently I am using XBMC launcher to autostart my AndroidTV to Kodi. Additionally if I press the home key it will always go back to Kodi. My launcher essentially is Kodi as I never even see the leanback launcher at all.

I want to continue doing this but the latest version of the Leanback launcher broke XBMC launcher. I had to roll back to a previous version to get it back working again. My fear is that by updating to Marshmallow I will lose this functionality.

So the question is can I do this on Marshmallow. All I want to be able to do is replace the leanback launcher with Kodi. Starts up right to Kodi and anytime I press home it goes to Kodi. Anyone have any luck?

Remix OS - A threat to Android TV?

It seems like Remix OS is gaining popularity: http://liliputing.com/2016/03/remix-os-for-pc-beta-how-to-dual-boot-windows-and-android-as-a-desktop-os.html

Remix OS allows you to install an Android OS directly to your PC. I believe currently it is running Lollipop under the hood and they are targeting a Marshmallow release in 3-6 months. Combine this with a launcher and I can see this as a real alternative to a dedicated Android TV box. What are your guys thoughts?

After 6.0 update, shield will not wake from sleep. Have to unplug and plug it back in every single time. Any one else?

Just as the title says.. I am putting it to sleep not 'powering off'. Tried powering on from controller, remote, tapping the power button, everything. Have to unplug and plug back in every time I want to use it. Is this happening to anyone else? Any suggestions?

Why aren't there more AndroidTV devices?

I just picked up a Shield a few weeks ago. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Definitely a convert to Android TV and convinced one of my friends to buy one too... But why aren't there more standalone models out there? I want to get Android TV for my gf but a Shield is overkill considering she won't game and it's $289 in Canada, there are no Nexus Players anywhere within 100s of km from me... All can find are Chinese boxes.

Android TV has an app problem

I was playing with an Apple TV at Best Buy, and that thing is killing Android TV in terms of apps available. The Fire TV, which is based on Android, has many apps we can't download. Even Xbox and PlayStation seem to have a whole much more content. Hell, even some Android TV sets have apps that we all can't use.

What's going on here? I get its new, but come on... It's not THAT new. The shield was a good amount of money, and I like it- but I'm really not happy with this OS basically just being an easy way to get Kodi on the TV.

I just can't help but feel like Google is half assing this until it dies. Really sad.

ToonAft/SplatNR gone?

Due to an unforeseen incident I had to factory reset my Nexus Player to get it working again. That said both ToonAft and SplatNR have gone missing from the play store and I have had no luck in finding it uploaded anywhere else on the net.

Anyone on here that have either of these apks could go through the trouble of uploading them online? I am just at an end trying to find them everywhere else.
