My take away from the steam app is that it was moved into the Gamestream app and still requires a Nvidia GPU to use. However I've heard rumors that Valve is working on a dedicated Steam app for the shield that should work with AMD GPUs.

Writing External (unformatted) Hard Drive from PC
Hi Guys,
First of all, thank you to everyone that keeps posting in this thread (as well as the older one). You have already answered so many of questions in terms of setup. Just got my 2017 Shield last week and its working great. I have one remaining question:
I have 2 TB WD My book hooked to the Shield and can play everything via Kodi and access the files via Total Commander. However, the Hard Drive still shows up as read only on my PC, so I can copy anything new on it. I read that this a limitation of Plex...
Now, I have seen that there are options like VirtualHere to get around this, but apparently it slows down transfer speeds considerably. I therefore wanted to ask if anyone knew a better way to deal with this?
My apologies if the question is basic or if it has been asked before. Nevertheless, I would be greatfull for any suggestions.
Thanks!
Vic

I haven't seen anyone else on this forum have the same issue, but the option for audio passthrough disappeared when I did the nougat update on my 2015 shield pro. All audio now outputs as pcm, even Netflix.
