How did you try to sideload it? What version are you on now?

Pretty much the same like whenever you want to sideload any apps, download the apk files and try to install it on the shield. My spmc still on 16.4.2 version. Since the latest software update from Nvidia, my spmc is having a lot of trouble. Sometime its freezing, stuttering, lagging, and audio drop. The worse that happen before is spmc force my shield tv to reboot, its never happen with any app before only happen with spmc. Its been real pain to use, right now Plex work so much better. hell, even Kodi Krypton is working so much better than Spmc. I hope @Koying fix this, thats why i really want to update my spmc. RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - macmus - 2016-12-06 Does KODI on NVIDIA shiled decodes 4K HDR or will be ? If I play: Mad Max Fury Road (2015) 2160p UltraHD BluRay HEVC x265 (30mbps Bitrate) 2CH AAC Will it be decoded as 4K / HDR content ? RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - hdmkv - 2016-12-06 No, as that video file isn't HDR. Some HDR BT2020 caps are surfacing now, but I hear they're dark (crushed blacks) and exhibit some dithering/banding. RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - wrxtasy - 2016-12-06 HDR really at the moment, especially for those using cheap Kodi media players is a Con, because:
At least with an officially licenced Android TV OS platform like the nVIDIA Shield you can watch properly encoded 4K HDR10 Netflix & Amazon streaming content. Can I stream Netflix in Dolby Vision or HDR ? And then to complicate matters your media player & AVR has to support HDMI2.0a as well & HDCP2.2 for protected content UltraHD streaming. What is HDR: The SHIELD Team Has You Covered RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - wesk05 - 2016-12-06 Ultra-HD Blu-ray/HDR10 capture is not all that difficult if you have some knowledge about HDR10 and the right hardware. It is time consuming and you do need to invest ~$1500 if you want close to original capture. That is all I will say RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - hdmkv - 2016-12-06 And, all I will say is it doesn't seem worth the trouble, whatever your source is . Have a feeling UHD BD won't get cracked, and streaming HDR is our future... like it or not (I'm in the latter camp, and may cave in at some point).

Sometime its freezing, stuttering, lagging, and audio drop. If I had those issues, I would do a full system reset and set it all up again. You can make backups of your SPMC settings, but with your issues, I would do a 100% clean setup again. RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - wrxtasy - 2016-12-06 The one advantage to UltraHD streaming is HEVC encoding and smaller file sizes and less bandwidth required. You can sign up to a Netflix UltraHD plan and if you have to correct equiptment, even UltraHD-4K Netflix is possible on a relatively slower internet connection. I'm even seeing superior quality 1080p streaming with some titles on Netflix due to the higher compression HEVC encoding. Looks like the Netflix engineers have done their HEVC encoding homework.

Netflix has done lot of research on encoding. They do what they call as "per-title encode optimization". Their techblog is very informative. I am not sure whether all 1080p content now streams in HEVC. If you see bitrates of 5.16 and 6.96Mbps for 1080p, then it is a HEVC stream.

The blog certainly make for some very interesting reading even if a bunch of the geek speak goes straight over my head. With HEVC encoded UltraHD Netflix I believe there is an intermittent resolution used as well between 1080p and 2160p - that being 2560×1440p aka 2.5K Netflix Adaptive streaming and 2.5K HDR RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - macmus - 2016-12-06 So If i want to watch movies in HDR right now it will be inly possible with UHD BD and play it on XBOX ONE S? Are there any riped UHD movies i could test on my UHD TV what player would be able to play it on Nvidia Shield Android TV? PS. I have KS8000 which has HDR and display covering it's gammit , so i think i should be fine.
