Use both, IMO little advantage to SPMC..
RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - sandogo1 - 2016-11-11
How well does The new beta 5 run

You get to use Voice Search of your SPMC media library with Android TV when used with SPMC.
Recently scraped media appears in the main GUI Recommendations Row too, stamped with little SPMC logos.
There are other patches in SPMC that integrates it into the Android TV OS better than Kodi.

Gone for the most part is not having to use a keyboard, at least 99% of the time in my experience, for searching within the SPMC/Kodi libraries. Priceless!
RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - sandogo1 - 2016-11-12
is there a better ver of spmc to use or is the ver in the playstore the 1 to use

What SPMC has over Kodi v16 (as v17 is still in Beta)
Taken selection from the changelogs, as always some things are more important to some than others.
HD Audio passthrough
Add possibility to choose IEC or RAW passthrough (via passthrough device)
Autostart at boot (this is huge for wife friendly factor)
GUI size setting (Allow 4k gui on Shield)
Only give codec priority to Mediacodec(Surface) for 4K
Android TV recommendations and voice search
SSL enabled MySql
Setting to force SMB v1
Basic Bluray 3D iso playback
Stop video playback when screen goes off
The ever good ol' "Import All" option
Add reboot & shutdown on rooted devices
Add support for AudioFormat::ENCODING_IEC61937 (Android N IEC passthrough)
Boost center channel on downmix
HQ scalers
GUI selection of H/W decoders
additional "ffmpeg" s/w deinterlace (this is a huge one for many)
RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - PantsOnFire - 2016-11-14
Hoping to pick up Shield TV on black Friday..
anyone else got black Friday goals?

HD Audio passthrough works with v17 (for me anyway)
And IEC doesn't matter as it's an N implementation and not yet supported on the Shield. Though I believe it's been implemented in v17, though it still doesn't matter as the "N" implementation is limited to 2 channel.
As for Autostart, that's easily worked around with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=news.androidtv.launchonboot&referrer=utm_source%3D42matters.com%26utm_medium%3DWidgetWeb which allows you to set any app to boot on launch.

Thanks for Launch on Boot, good to know.

Yeah me too, although I'm not overly confident due to the stock levels.

Can you remember what price they were selling for last year?
RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - PantsOnFire - 2016-11-17
Guys, if anyone's after a SATV, there's one up on gumtree for £100.
Bristol I believe, I'm interested but its way too far away for me.
