    Is Upgrade To 2019 Shield Pro Worth It?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:41 AM PDT

    I have the 2017 Nvidia Shield. I usually use it mostly for streaming IPTV, YouTube or Chromecasting. Would it be worth it to upgrade to the new 2019 Shield Pro? What benefits?

    Mi Box 3 - Judder free 4K

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:16 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I bought a MiBox 3 for obvious reasons but the playback of large 4K files always caused issues which in some cases is the reason it was tossed to the side and some people splashed the cash on a sheild on many threads across forums. Well I have not yet and persevered with the £34 buy

    For my circumstance I seemed to have solved the 4K playback issues via online streaming

    I assumed this was a media player issue as the apps were force closing and it was skipping frames and I was limited to what I could use as only a handful of apps delivered all formats of audio passthrough "essential"

    After a lot of trial and error I found that EUMC was as good as it got but still not perfect at all

    Next step I bought the ugreen usb ethernet adapter on Ebay for £8 "this changed nothing although some reddit comments suggested it solved the issue"

    I then upgraded the original hdmi to an 18gb one - £5 on Amazon. This definitely helped early on but the judder did come in to play later In the streams but no force closing of the player at any time which had been happening

    So I delved deeper in to reddit threads and specifically relating to Mi Box and Sony TVs "i am using an XF9005" and I found a reply to sub comment that suggested turning the motion flow and cinema setting offs this worked for him so I went in to the motion settings and turned off Motionflow and Film Mode on Low "initially off" I assume this would be the similar across motion settings on other brand tvs

    Well hey presto this seems to have solved it!!

    I last streamed a 12gb 4K HDR lossless Atmos episode with zero issues.. not possible before! and a 44gb 4K HDR Atmos movie before that

    I will update on how it goes but I think this will stop me from shelling out £150 on a sheild for some time, Dolby vision is not great on the xf9005 unless player led processing is at play "I think this may only be possible on selected blu ray players and possibly apple TV so I will not miss that format

    I will add an update if I run in to issues but looks like it works Hopefully this helps someone

    TCL baidu DNS queries

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 10:03 PM PDT

    I've TCL android TV and using Pi-Hole for Local DNS. couple of days back TV firmware updated overnight and since then it is requesting Biadu domain frequently, sometimes it just fluds pi hole with baidu dns queries.

    https://i.imgur.com/avAoGnv.png

    there isn't any baidu app installed or there isn't any browser active.

    and looks like TCL collected ton of telemetry data using my7v.com api

    https://i.imgur.com/zNCwunY.png

    i'll just go by and block the domain and move on but i want know why it is asking that freqnetly and what kind of data it is collecting.

    Any of you guys encountered this?

    Shieldtv and the abc app

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 05:27 PM PDT

    I love the shieldtv and have been using it for a long time with very few issues. I like to use the ABC app to watch the news and live TV. For some reason the app is not working. I access the app and the menu loads up and then I am sent back to the Android main screen. Not sure what could be wrong. I stopped app, cleared cache, cleared data, uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled to no avail. It worked today and now stopped. What else can I try?

    [Shield][Plex]Restore the minimized video player.

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 05:25 PM PDT

    Plex video when minimized goes to the right bottom corner. It plays there even when I go to the home screen of Shield. All good.... but I can't seem to get it back to full screen. Can't pin on what I'm missing !

    VPN Recommendations

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 11:15 AM PDT

    Hi guys, I am looking for a recommendation of a good VPN for Android TV.
    For me, a critical feature is the kill switch. Basically this means that if the VPN loses connection, it will kill the internet connection entirely.

    I was using VyprVPN but they removed this feature from Android TV, making it useless.

    Any recommendation is welcome.

    How to re-connect with already paired devices on AndroidTV

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 04:09 PM PDT

    Hello, I have searched extensively and have not been able to come up with an answer to my problem, I have an AndroidTV with Android 9 on it.

    I can pair my bluetooth headphones to it, no problem. But the issue starts happening the next time when I want to use the headphones with the TV, it seems that there is no option to initiate a connection from the TV to the paired device. When I go into the paired device options on the TV I only have two options - Rename or Unpair.

    The only way to use the headphones is to unpair from the TV and restart the pairing process and then it will connect and work until the next time the TV or headphones are turned on and I'll have to do this entire thing again.

    Is there a way to initiate a connection from within the TV itself or how do I get rid of this problem. Thanks!

    Video Apps Not 4K? (Plex, Kodi, etc)

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 12:47 PM PDT

    I was hoping someone could help me with the following conundrum. I have a Hisense H8 Android TV and noticed that all video apps (in this case Plex and Kodi) besides the native video player and Netflix are only able to play videos at 1080p resolution. Is this 'normal' or to be expected with Android TV or is there a possible workaround to this?
