With the shield upgrade and google assistant can you still use your voice to enter in text instead of the keyboard? This was handy for some plugins that had their own search. I know this was broken, but have the latest Nightlife's resolved this? I'm holding off on v6 upgrade until this is working again.

Yes, you can still use Voice Search with the Global Search feature in Kodi v18. Just long press select on the remote when the search menu is up.

To be more precise, it's long press whenever the Kodi soft keyboard is up.

Hi guys
Been away for a long while as everything running smoothly. I've tried to search some keywords for the issue I have but nothing coming up..apologies if this is a known issue.
So I'm getting pretty annoying crackling/popping/static on my audio via shield.
Same direct to tv or sound bar.
Tried different cables.
Same for HDMI and optical
Streams. Local content. And even native android apps like Amazon.
It's driving me mad but I think it's the shield as I've slowly narrows options down.
Has anyone else had this? Is my shield on the way out :-(

I'm trying to bitstream True-HD and DTS-HD MA audio out of my Shield TV 2017. When I look.under Kodi's system settings I do not see any check boxes for those two audio formats underneath the pass through section. Can someone help me out with this?

Hi a question. I have 2 Shield boxes on 5.0x. I would like to try and update them for the auto resolution features etc. but have heard many people complain about the updates. Has live tv 50 hz stutter been fixed. I'm using Tvheadend in SPMC.

On a different topic, has there been any acknowledgement by nVidia and/or efforts to add resolution + refresh rate switching like Apple TV 4K, Minix w/U-9H & Zidoo now have?

Thanks... I'm using TVHz app to 'manage' this limitation, but the app itself is limited by how it works w/Shield. When I'm in 4K HDR 24Hz for example, TVHz only lets me toggle to 25 & 30Hz when watching 25/50 & 30/60 content. Probably has to do with my Epson 5040UB... but, I can manually switch to 1080p/59.94 or 60 on Shield to have non 4K content play properly.
