Help - bugs with nvidia shield software update 2.1?

by blusky75

I bought an nvidia shield console and it upgraded to the latest firmware 2.1 when I signed on. Google cast isn't working (no devices can see it as a cast device) and play services is constantly crashing.

Upgrading the Google cast receiver app via the play store didn't help at all, and upgrading the play services manually did more harm than good, forcing me to reset the unit back to factory.

Does anyone here have a solution to these bugs?

Can honestly say never had Google play services crash once.

The chromecast issue seems to resolve if you restart the shield (not ideal) and it will show up again.

The 2.1 update bricked two of my devices. I had an original and had to return it, and the same thing happened to the replacement. Now, I'm on the third device sitting at 1.4 until they resolve it.
