NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box)

It is probable the most requested video feature on their boards and has been for a bunch of updates request threads. I wish they would also clean up their TrueHD implementation so that it could work in ExoPlayer instead of getting massive underruns.

Now if only Google would update AndroidTV to have as nice of a voice and notification integration as AppleTV as well as better HDMI CEC support. Ugh, I hate when I have to compliment Apple.

Edit: Looks like the new Android TV Mi Box will support MVC (but not mpeg2/vc1) http://www.mi.com/en/mibox/#specs

Like most large company's Nvidia is not going to come out and say what they aren't going to support. Not that it's right, that's just the way it works.

As for TrueHD, that's on Google. Nvidia hacked in TrueHD support since Android doesn't support it, but that should change with "N" which supposedly will also support IEC. Nvidia may backport that, though I have no direct info that they will, to Marshmallow, then it will be up to Google to properly support in in Exoplayer. Though Exoplayer only really matters in Plex, and we don't care about that app here. Wink

And voice and notification integration is on the app developers. Google provides the tools to integrate, but it still takes the app devs to implement it in their apps, Netflix, for example, has been slow to do that. But there is more coming in that area down the line.
