I'm not in the beta group nor does it say it's beta. This is the 2015 16GB btw.
Says it brings rumble support for Geforce Now, Amazon Video enhancements for surround sound + remote control support, encrypted VP9 support with subsampling, enhanced system performance and stability
VP9.
Just got it too..
Shame they didn't add HDR support for YouTube
I just got mine as well and finished installing it. I have the 2017 16gb connected to 5.1 soundbar connected to samsung 4k tv. Whenever I turn off the TV, the shield turns off cuz of CEC. When turning the TV back on the Shield sometimes shows no picture or takes 10min for the display to come alive again. The only way to solve this is to go to HDMI-CEC settings and turn off the option for turning off devices. Now Shield and soundbar both don't go off but at least I don't have to force a reboot everytime I turn the TV on. It's a well documented issue and I thought it would be fixed BUT just tried it after the update and still doesn't work.
On the bright side I have no issues with passing audio through Kodi but I didn't before the update either.
I still can't get it to connect to my Drobo-FS
I'm having issues of hdmi randomly cutting off on YouTube. It is very annoying..
Weird, every time in the past it's popped up with the download, but I didn't see anything on my Shield. Saw this post and forced it to "check for update" and now it's DLing.
It appears to be for all models too. Perhaps they are now all running the same version from now on.
