I am not sure if this correct section but here it goes.
I am able to control my Nvidia shield with my Sony Smart Remote (Used Logitech IR receiver in Nvidia USB). I used the keymap editor in Kodi to map the way i want it. The only problem i am having is once i select Kodi app in Nvidia i am not able to go back to Nvidia apps similar to "O" key in the nvidia remote. Is there any keymap that i can access to go to other apps in nvidia without Exiting Kodi all together?

Thanks have to explore SPMC then. I hate to install another version just for this

What apps are you trying to access, most of the android apps will be under programs - android apps . The one that's missing is quick access to the settings but that can be solved by adding the settings.apk , there's also a script/apk ie found to open the leanback launcher.
Ill post the forum links from XDA/Nvidia forum if you want them

Hi guys,
I've been hearing about the Nvidia Shield, and I'm considering replacing my dedicated HTPC with one. Reasons are mostly I'm looking for a device that's smaller, uses less power and provides a "better" user experience (my HTPC currently has annoying issues like 50% of the time not booting when powered on and Kodi's interface freezing when coming out of screensaver and occasionally when stopping playback).
One thing I'd be worried about losing is my upscalers though. I've currently got two custom upscale profiles, one for SD, one for 720p, which do different things to the picture to get non-full HD videos looking nice. However, this requires a custom build of Kodi as you need to use a custom player, and I'm assuming that there's no Android build of this custom build. So what upscale options do I get with the stock Kodi app? Can I polish up my SD videos and get them looking nice? I don't have a 4K TV, so can I use the leftover processing power to use a more processor-heavy upscaler?

Ah, SPMC is that Kodi fork project, isn't it? Does normal Kodi not offer a lanczos3 up-scaling option at all? How does the Shield perform with this being used as an upscaler? Surely it can handle it without stuttering, right?

I am using a 2.40:1 screen and a anamorphic lens for my projector.
I've downloaded Kodi from Google Store with my Nvidia Shield.
How can I do vertical stretch for video files with Kodi/Nvidia Shield in order to
be able to use my lens properly?
Thank you for any info!
Try going to Settings -> Videos -> Accelleration -> and disable MediaCodec (surface)
Then go to Settings -> System -> Video output -> Calibration
Hi!
I've tried this, but one cannot stretch the picture sufficently vertically with Kodi or SPMC.
I wish there was a setting, where one can set this gradually - something similar to Xtreamer
Prodify, where this is implemented nicely.
The problem with my projector is that it does now allow 4K content to be streched, so in order
to use the external anamorphic lens I would need a player that would know how to do the
vertical strech... Hopefully this feature gets implemented!

Anyone fixed the stuttering on Live TV? Video is really jerky:/

Did try to setup "minvideocachelevel" and "minaudiocachelevel" in the advancedsettings.xml?
I had audio drops while playing mpeg2 live tv streams from my vdr backend. After configuring the caches everything was really flawless. But I don't have a shield, I use an odroid c2.

You'll have to wait for an update that fixes the problem. From ManuelGuzman on the Shield forums about the ETA:
Quote:We are getting closer folks. As usual please make sure to fill out the feedback form with your SHIELD issue and include your device serial number if you are willing to test certain fixes. We may select some users to confirm certain fixes before the the update is released to the public.
or downgrade to 3.1:

I did it because the football season started and couldn't wait anymore and it worked flawlessly.
