For newer features like resolution switching, yes.

Can you kindly recommend a stablish nightly/alpha build. Resolution switching is a staple for me. Also is voice to text available in Kodi 18? If so how?

 Just use the most recent nightly, they've all been mostly stable(ish).

Use the "Over the network" feature on the Shield.  Make sure Plex Media Server is up to date, then go to Settings > Storage & reset > Over the network, and turn it on.  Then you can transfer from you PC to the Shield just like any other network device.

NOTE: for external storage you will need to use the "NVIDIA_SHIELD" folder created on that storage.

Thanks, that works really well.

Do you have any idea how I access the kodi userdata folder though?

You need to turn on "Show hidden files/folders" on your PC, then navigate to /internal/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/

Are the color space and picture quality issues resolved with Kodi 18? Any plans on supporting Dolby vision?

 How does SPMC compare to Kodi 18 nightly's?

Just ordered one but the color range switching problem is really a bummer. Sad

Nvm.

 It should work fine, I had it working a while back. Just make sure you enable the Add-on for RAR support

Auto resolution switching, namely 1080p <> 4K is working properly w/Shield?


RE: nVidia Shield TV (2015 & 2017 Models) - UPDATED: Oct. 06, 2017 - gacama - 2018-01-03

In kodi, auto res switching is working fine for me
