I just updated but I dont seem to have the option to access shield from PC.

Fingers crossed for Vizio M Series 4K black screen fixes. Those of you with that TV and issues (from what a recall there was a number of us commenting about it over the last year) could you let me know if you still experience them after this OTA? I'll install later tonight and test as well.

Edit:I watched a 2 hour movie on Plex @60 without issues. Though, I don't recall if I've had that issue with Plex before. With Netflix and Hulu, definitely. I'll try to watch something tonight on those services and report back.

Does anyone know how the plex server will behave w.r.t. standby of the shield.

If I move my plex install to the shield, and try to access it remotely, will the shield wake up to serve the content? (this would be great) If the answer is yes, will it switch the TV to the HDMI the shield is on? ( this would be bad)

Interesting that the notes mention SPMC and not Kodi

Thanks for staying true to your word Nvidia!!

GfromCA

dynamic range is greyed out for me on 4k@60, I'm trying to set it on full but it doesn't let me, is it the hdmi cable maybe?

For anyone who got the update, does marco polo now have the HDR badge? Mine only had the ultra 4k badge before.

tonyreilly

Dam it... the NAS is now asking me for a Username / Password when there isn't and hasn't been one set on it! Getting super frustrated!

kchristainsen

Wow this real. What great timing, i get my shield today!

bogginharry

I'm able to mount my NAS folders (as a registered user) but it's saying all the shares have 0.00 B used and it won't show any files in them.

Anybody else have this problem?

ghostyroasty

WOOHOO!!

dhibbit

Any knowledge on how to add/delete/move/rename files to an unmounted USB drive connected to the shield (maybe via PLEX?).

Scane

I'm having troubles with my audio. My receiver can only work with Dolby Surround 5.1 not DTS 5.1. In Kodi I can set the transcoder to something like "only dolby 5.1 capable receiver, not DTS". Where can I find this option in Plex so that I can watch my DTS movies in transcoded 5.1 Dolby Surround? Anybody know?

tonyreilly

Anyone able to mount more than one NAS?

wildfig

Buying a 5TB External HDD tomorrow to set as download path for my SABNZBD/Sonarr/CP setup.

This update should complete the dream.

tonyreilly

Anyone not able to see certain folders / shares? I'm connecting to one of my NAS drives and am only seeing one of the shared folders. Same when trying view folders on my PC.

Just updated an hour ago. No changes in terms of the slight pauses when playing 23.97 (24 too?) netflix content while the Shield is still at 60hz. Ho well.
I enabled HDR on my TV and it's working well, very impressive difference with Marco Polo for sure. But I'm surprised here in France I only see Marco Polo and some sucky Adam Sandler movie as HDR content. I thought Daredevil S2 and Jessica Jones were also available in HDR, was I wrong or are we getting once again getting the short end of the stick outside the US?

Madvillains

I was excited when I saw 4:4:4 enabled. Doesn't work on 4K 60

Andrroid

Global voice search for Plex broken for anyone else?

strcrssd

could someone please flair this as for Shield only?
