What's backend is working the best right now for live TV on the shield right now

I prefer ServerWMC. If you enable DLNA streams in the ServerWMC setup, channel changing in Kodi is quite fast.

Is there a setup u used to walk you thu the install

Here's a link to the Wiki. It will walk you through the setup.

How is the Live-TV MPEG-2 hardware decoding (and hardware deinterlacing)?
I only have SD live-tv so the deinterlacing and scaling is important for me.

on the server wmc how are u getting the channels is it the your home cable or ext links that are always down and bad quality...everything that I tried to use so far have been bad links so I want to use something that's good and not have to worry about it anymore

I'm interested in the Nvidia Shield TV but was wondering the following few things......

1) Can you boot straight in to Kodi?
2) Is it possible to use a Media Remote Control with the built-in IR?
3) Is the picture quality in Kodi better than the Chromebox version?


Many thanks.

same question for me
I m really interested with Shield Android Tv , But it would be great if we can boot directly to Kodi.
Someone has an idea if we can do that ?

and can we use the famous app "yatse" on google play to take control of Kodi Media player with our phone ?
yatse is just the best remote control with phone for kodi !

Many thanks

Anyone found an USB DAC that works with the Shield TV and Kodi?
I'm looking for a way to get analogue stereo to my amp.

I know fiio has the E18 so you could use that.

Is anyone working on more deinterlacing options for Kodi on the Shield?

Right now only Bob and Bob-inverted is available, hoping for more/better options at some point

Thanks for all the work on Kodi for Android, it's running great on the Shield so far!

Wrong thread mate. Start here PVR (wiki)

I have a Shield console arriving over the next week or so. I know you can install kodi from the google play store. But I assume this is not going to have the latest updates. I am not familiar with android - there must be a way to side load beta versions of kodi?

Is there an eta on when support for bit streaming hd audio will be there?

Yes, you can sideload any version. Easiest way it to install ES File Explorer from the Play Store and then follow the same directions here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-sideload-...e-fire-tv/

And no, devs have stated HD audio pass-through is a work in progress and there's no time frame in which it will be included. It'll happen when it happens.

You need to have a TV tuner (preferably a HDHomerun) to get channels.

I get totday my Shield Pro and i have make the Update to 2.0 and have install Kodi 15.x Beta 3. My Problem is i dont have DD, DTS or TrueHD. I get only Multi Audio but this is not the same. If I choose passthrough then I have no audio or only noise. Whithout passthrough i have Audio but only Stereo. Whene i u use the MX Player i get DTS HD but the picture is not so good. Have the Shield a native Video Player and how can i use it? I will use TrueHD and all other Audio formats but with Kodi i can not use it :-( . Every other Android Box can use Kodi with a wrapper for use full passthroug but the Shield can not do this.

I use this to boot straight to Kodi https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...cher&hl=en It's not booting Kodi, but using it as a home screen replacement just like any other android launcher (Nova, Go, trebuchet, etc)
