New Shield TV owner. Google play store not loading

by defsquad

So I got my shield tv loaded up, system updated to 1.3 I believe, connected my accounts to Netflix and hulu plus. Cool, I'm ready to side load some apps. So i go into the Google play store to get es file Explorer. Um, wat? It just sits there spinning the loading cursor with nothing else happening. Can't find much from searching on Google other than some 2 year old posts about it. I cleared cache and data and forced stopped it just in case. No dice. Restarted the shield tv and still nothing.

Halp?

Edit: fixed it. Apparently you can't enable unknown services before accepting TOS?

Make sure you have all system updates installed. Then see if it works.

Are you on the Pro model? The Shield TV Pro has this bug where the hard disk will constantly stay at 100% disk activity for a long period of time, causing everything to slow down and things to not load (even after a reboot). There's also another bug where the system_server process occasionally gets stuck at >50% CPU, causing the same symptoms (this one does go away after a reboot, though)
