So after a few weeks I'm not really happy with the picture quality from my shield, specifically blacks. Doing some googling around and it seems like it's a popular topic both here and on the geforce forums, but most of the stuff that's being posted goes way above my head. Some people suggest changing the HDMI from "full" to "limited", but I don't seem to have those options on my TV to (55LG8600) test, and I can't find it on my receiver either.
So far I've gone through all the possible HW acceleration settings, and they don't seem to change anything. I've also looked at the video settings on the Shield itself but there's not much there besides 1080p/60 or 1080p/23.976.
Are there some basic things I can do to improve picture quality? I just installed Jarvic RC1 (I was using Beta5 before).

Hey all, really hoping someone can help or at least point me in the right direction as I am about ready to see how far I can throw the Shield :-)
I have been running Kodi on an HTPC for several years, however after recently buying a new 4k TV, was unable to use the HTPC without expensive upgrades. As I have heard great things about the Shield, I bought one and the picture quality is great. However...
I have a NAS running FreeNAS with NFS shares of my media. I can easily point Kodi to them and it scans in all the media without an issue (AFAIK). I have two primary issues though that are making me second guess my switch. First, (a relatively minor but annoying thing) when I click on TV Shows on the home screen, it used to take me directly to my TV shows. Now, however, it takes me to Videos, where I can click Files, then TV to see my TV shows. Not a major thing but very annoying and I am not sure if it is related or not to my biggest gripe, which is...
Kodi scans in all my TV shows, however it seems like it only half scrapes everything. For instance, it pulls in every single folder I have on there, even if I have watched everything or if the folder is empty. I do have Hide Watched checked and my old HTPC handled this fine, so not sure why this is. Additionally, it seems like it cannot pull in random info about the TV show, including series description, episode description, or even how many episodes I have for a series. I can play them fine, but even the episode listing looks like it just displays the file name, not the scraped version.
All of the fanart and other pics do show up, and Kodi on my HTPC was fine reading the format I had FileBot process them into (Showname (YYYY)/SeasonX/Showname - SxEE - Episode Title) so not sure why this is happening. I did read where the NFS share has to have the proper permissions, however I have made it so it is NOT read-only and gave all users root privilege. I am hoping I am missing something easy since I have never set up Kodi on the Shield before, but right now it is almost unusable as I have 150-200 TV shows, but only 10-20 of them with episodes. I am on the latest version of everything, and I am not sure what other info would be helpful but please let me know anything additional needed to resolve this. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
