NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box)
Checked the log. Odd as I literally just installed it

Have you gone into customise buttons? If not, that is where you always start.
Not all commands that the controller has are available to the IR Harmony’s but all the basics are so you should have most control options, see my earlier link for other work arounds.
Ok thanks, yeah I've finally got it working, downloaded the latest Jarvis beta and got the long press ok working now for the context menu, happy now I've got a decent navigation of Kodi with my remote.

Thanks.
Hi guys, I am thinking about buying the shield tv, but I want to know the quality of the live tv with Kodi, with the shield tv ota 2.0 is the deinterlace made by hardware or you still have to use bob? In Spain almost all the channels are 1080i ,How about the quality with this version, is better than the PI2 for live tv?
Thanks !!

Pi 2 and ODroid C1+ are better for Live TV with deinterlacing by all accounts. No hardware deinterlacing yet (or planned?) on the Shield AFAIK. It's a great platform for watching streamed movies (as it has 4K Netflix support), and content you've ripped yourself from 1080p sources. It's not a good Kodi box if you watch Live/Recorded TV or lots of interlaced content in general

The ODroid is a bit faster rendering the UI when deinterlacing Live TV (but overall has issues rendering the UI with some tearing, though not on video), and has HEVC 8 bit support. It doesn't do well with DVD ISOs or .VOB/VIDEO_TS folders though, as for some reason it won't deinterlace DVD content.

The Pi 2 has 3D MVC support (for 3D Blu-ray replay with Frame Packed output) and much better support for multichannel audio (including lossless decoding of HD Audio which it can output as multichannel PCM - which is great if you have an AV amp) The Pi 2 also has better Linux driver support (as it runs a more recent, and actively developed kernel, unlike the ODroid which is looking to be stuck at Kernel 3.10?) so is more likely to be compatible with newer DVB USB sticks etc. You need to buy a £3.60 licence pack for MPEG2 and VC-1 support (H264 is built in) on the Pi, but when you do you get full MPEG2 hardware decode, including DVD ISO and .VOB/VIDEO_TS playback with deinterlacing.

Definitely worth considering a Chromebox or other Celeron 2955U/2957U box will do a VERY good deinterlace and is very snappy. It will outperform the ODroid and the Pi 2 in most areas (though it doesn't have 3D MVC or HEVC hardware decode) and is a much more powerful platform. Everything runs quicker on it, and it will even bitstream HD Audio (as well as decode non-bitstreamable audio to multichannel PCM, as the Pi 2 does)

Or there is a false rumour spreading, or there is something I dont understand regarding your definition of "hardware deinterlacing"...

This is probably not the right place to post this but point me in the right direction if so.

I just got the shield and trying to copy files using es file explorer. However i simply can't seem click on the bottom row to highlight the copy command. I have tried everything with the remote and controller but it doesn't work.

Any ideas? it's driving me mad
I usually scroll down the left hand side then scroll across.
It is a pita tho, and it's hard to see what's highlighted too.

Can I ask a question about the above?

My Rpi2 currently connects to my Enigma2 STB via Vu+ add-on in KODI, and plays my TV channels flawlessly inc HD channels (I did need to buy a MPEG2 license for the Rpi2)....which has saved my the expense of buying a second STB.

Will my Nvidia Shield do the same?

First I like to say thanks to noggin you are a master! Is sad that the shield can't deinterlace well.., and second like noggin said mahockey your Nvidia Shield can do the same but with worse quality than the pi2 for watch live tv

Thanks for the quick reply...I will set things up (when it arrives later in week) and report back some comparisons with my Rpi2

I'm starting to appreciate the power of my little Rpi2 more and more over the past few days which is concerning me seeing it's this I am replacing with the Nvidia Shield TV. Undecided
I'm a bit confused about interlacing on live tv on the shield under kodi. I'm watching via the tvheadend pvr addon and I've found on the shield that I can completely disable interlacing and not get the comb effect on the tv. Something clever somewhere is going on, but I'm not sure where.

With a similar setup under openelec 6.0 on an old acer revo 3600,, I have to enable bob interlacing to get it smooth.

-- gyre --
I still see a bit of judder on 23.976 files on my optoma hd151x.I didn't see this using my pi2 on the same files. Projector switches to 24p correctly but it is still there. Switch frame rate and match to display both activated. 16 beta 2. Anything else I should try?
I turned off Media codec ( surface )
and Mediacodec under Acceleration in the Video settings.

Got rid of the bit of stutter I had.
