Since shield doesn't play well with av1, I figured this would be the best place to ask.
As someone who has never touched handbrake or any of the like software.
What should i be converting them to and with what settings to make sure that maintain quality AND play well.
(I got a bunch of files to deal with since I didnt have the shield before now)
I am looking at buying a Shield Tv Pro.
But the thing that gives me pause is that its from 2019.
Just wondering is there any newer version?
Or is there any new version coming in the next few months?
2 separate problems, both devices on same tv. Normally use shield, Onn hooked up for setup. As far as I know both set up same except shield Ethernet and Onn Wi-Fi. I have 2 iptv subscriptions currently. Was trying to watch a baseball game. Shield buffered unstoppingly on tivimate, and both iptv native apps. Switched to Onn and nothing buffered all night. Now I was setting red light on Onn and movie was playing thru all speakers of 5.1 and switched to shield and movie only plays thru front. When I play thru Onn, Dolby vision flashes at top right. When I play on shield that doesn’t happen. Also Onn plays Dolby vision hdr remix that cause shield to crash and restart. Can someone help with settings? Nothing I change changes anything.
Upgrading from a 4K Max Firestick. All works good but the UI is insanely sluggish at bootup for certain streaming apps linked with debrids and experience app crashes a lot. Quite excited! Any tips and advice i should keep in mind?
Why am I constantly getting a notification suggesting I enable the accessibility service when it's been enabled for literally years?
Just a minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.
I’ve had the shield for nearly 2 years and this last week it’s suddenly stopped working after the tvs been off overnight
In the morning when pressing the power button the tv turns on but the shield is a black screen and the only way to get it to load is by unplugging it and plugging back in, I haven’t changed any settings but this is a new issue that’s only happened within the last 6 or so days
Does anybody have any pointers I could try to stop this as it’s annoying
My NVidia Shield Pro (running Kodi) is my best purchase over the last few years and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Am using a 256gb Sandisk USB stick as external storage for Kodi whilst accessing 2 x Synology NAS (1821+ and 1515+) but am worried about the Sandisks long term longevity. I suspect that a ext SSD will provide greater storage capacity and robust longevity. What does everybody else use? BTW I have used Kodi for almost 20 years on the original xbox, various pcs, mac mini and other small Android boxes. The Shield Pro runs rings around them all.
I used my Google tv streamer for quite a while now and keep seeing these jitters when panning the camera or moving at a steady pace. Average decode time for 4k 60 fps was 14-16ms
Just got my shield pro and I am super impressed. The decode time dropped drastically to 1.5 - 3.0 ms! Panning feels much smoother and the jitters are practically gone now. So happy about that.
I use iPlayer a lot (Play Store version) and I knew that it was due to stop working at the end of September but the app no longer loads for me as of yesterday, literally nothing happens when I select the home screen shortcut.
Is this happening for anyone else?
My plex had a meltdown and i lost my server, i have had help on that subreddit to get everything back and we got stuck at the shield part. I am trying to move my previous plex library.db / library.blob files to a new location on my shield but i do not know where i am supposed to put them. i did follow some other subreds and they all point to accessing the Storage Location option under the Plex Media Server settings on my shield. the issue is that the "Storage Location" option does not exist there. It simply has PLEX MEDIA SERVER header but nothing under and jumps straight to ADVANCED header below. I have cleared the Cache and there is no PIN on my account either which was the resolve for a few people. Can anyone help??
Im having issues with audio dropping out on my 2019 nvidia shield tv pro. When watching tv and movies on stremio it is fine but if i try and watch YouTube and some other apps audio drops out for a second every now and again. I wondered if anyone could help
Earlier it was only the back and forward button.
And now the volume buttons.
They all work fine. But sad the lights died.
This is my second shield ( bought in 2023). The first ones (bought in 2020) lights still works fine.
Hallo zusammen,
will euch mal meine exzellente Erfahrung mit dem Nvidia Support hier mitteilen.
Ein großes Dank an Patrick vom Support :-)
Kam aus meinem Spanien Urlaub zurück um festzustellen, dass mein Nvidia shield pro 2019 nicht mehr anging.
Keinerlei Lebenszeichen, kein Led aufleuchten, nichts.
Habe mir dem Multimeter dann mal den Netzadapter nachgemessen , 0-4volt , es baute 4v auf dann brach es auf 0 ein dann wieder 4 usw.
Es sollte aber 19 haben.
Habe dem Nvidia Support geschrieben , dort hat mich Patrick prompt begrüßt und mein Anliegen aufgenommen.
Das shield wurde vor einigen Jahren bei Amazon Warehouse gekauft, die Garantie war also schon lange um.
Mir wurden ein paar Fragen gestellt, ala Kaufdatum, Beleg usw.
Und das man mir nicht garantieren könnte, außerhalb der Garantie Ersatz zu bekommen , man es aber an die Zentrale Weiterleitet.
Ich wurde täglich über den aktuellen Stand informiert, freundlich, nett und mit dem gewissen Charme, dass alles wieder gut werden wird und man " dran ist "
Ich musste dann ca 10 fragen seitens der Technik nach ca 2 Tagen beantworten, uA ob das Netzteil heiß wird , ob die 0-4v direkt am Netzteil ohne eingestecktem shield getestet wurden uvm.
Habe alles wahrheitsgemäß beantwortet und auch ein Bild vom Netzteil gemacht wo die Daten drauf standen.
Nach einem weiteren Tag habe ich eine Email von FedEx bekommen, dass ein Paket unterwegs sei und keine 10 Minuten später die Nachricht von Patrick, dass es erfreuliche Nachrichten gab und ich ein neues Netzteil kostenfrei außerhalb der Garantie zugeschickt bekomme.
Ich hab initiell auch angeboten gehabt, für eines zu zahlen und nun ein neues kostenfrei bekommen.
Der Verdacht hat sich auch bestätigt, das neue Netzteil funktioniert und meinem shield ist wieder leben eingehaucht worden !
Bei all dem Mist , möchte ich meine sehr sehr gute Erfahrung mit dem Nvidia Support einfach mal teilen.
+1 für Nvidia und dessen Support , bin immer noch baff und positiv überrascht wie professionell alles war.
Vor allem das ich täglich ein Zwischenbescheid kam.
so i got a first gen shield pro the idea was for having a something to do budget gaming on on tv if if just wanna stay on the couch without board and mouse
pc got to hot behind the wall, the shield dont really like it also but just a bit better
then i found this weird little mini pc build into a radiator all aio cooled
any one knows this is any good? the idea for behind a wall or beneath a desk kinda nice, but cant find much info about it
will just leave the shield to kid in poorwill forums and install geforce now on this
was thinking must work better not? only use the shield for stremio sportzx and geforce now cause my tv has shit tizen os
the pc has am4 r7 5600g with 32ddr4 and 1tb, i think for 660 new kinda good deal also? google says pretty good igpu
anywayz worth it or no need really?
Been building Trinity TV Player for the last few months specifically with boxes like the Shield in mind — full Dolby Atmos passthrough, real 4K/HDR handling, and a UI designed around a remote from day one instead of a phone app with D-pad support bolted on.
Screenshot below is the actual live guide — full EPG grid, channel groups, live preview pane, no lag even on catalogs with 50k+ channels (there's a built-in AI health-check tool that finds dead/duplicate channels automatically if your list is a mess).
What it does:
trinitytvplayer.com if anyone wants to try it — sideloads clean via Downloader (code in the FAQ). Happy to answer questions, and genuinely want the feedback since half of what's shipped lately came from user reports.
Patchnotes:
- NEW App switcher
- NEW Notification centre with a status bar bell and heads-up alerts
- NEW Remap any remote button, including HOME, on short, double or long press
- NEW ADB connection to really close apps, set the default launcher and grant permissions without system dialogs
- NEW Bluetooth panel with device list and pairing
- NEW Add your own fonts from a TTF, OTF or TTC file
- NEW Resize each home row individually
- NEW Arrange rows vertically, or limit a row to a single line
- NEW Sleep timer
- NEW Volume slider for video sound in wallpapers and the screensaver
- NEW Tile opacity slider, focused tile colours, and frosted glass for transparent tiles
- NEW Status bar elements can stay hidden until the bar is focused
- NEW Set any image as wallpaper by sharing it from a file manager
- Reworked onboarding that explains each permission before its system dialog
- Moving an app inserts it at the target instead of swapping
- BACK now goes exactly one menu level up everywhere
- App icons update right after an app update
- Fixed settings being lost to a corrupted preferences file
- Fixed apps you launch yourself being pulled back to the home screen
- Fixed a freeze when switching profiles with a weather wallpaper

I have a 2019 Pro model on the 9.2.4 update. I’ve had it updated ever since I bought it back in December, first to 9.2.2 and then 9.2.4, but I’ve never done a clean upgrade, so I’m not sure if that could be related or if I should just do a factory reset.
Whenever I start updating apps, the Shield becomes basically unusable, so I usually just let the updates finish and keep them set to manual rather than automatic, so I can control when the freezing happens.
Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think a factory reset would help? I have around 6 GB of free storage, so storage isn’t an issue. Other than this, the device works flawlessly.
I tried out the free version, but the paid option im controlling all the wled and home assistant lights in my room
