Don't forget to enable Button mapper in: settings >> device preferences >> Accessibility >> button mapper "On"

Hello guys,

i bought my Shield Pro back in July but have only used it for a couple of months.

It worked great at the beginning but a couple of weeks back i got a message on the home screen saying: "ethernet no connected". But it was and is connected. A brand new cat7 cable, im the settings it showed connected and my correct ip adress was showing as well.

So i switched the switch port, switched to another cable, turned off dhcp, turned of ipv6, disabled usb ports, changed dns servers, restarted router and shield several times.... Until the message went away.

But now the connection is far from fast. Iptv service Buffers, netflix takes forever to load a movie, even if it's only in HD. When i enable the vpn client it's even worse, while on my smartphone (even on a mobile connection) netflix loads fast...

I don't know what else to try... Do u guys have the same issues with ethernet connectivity?

Thx btw

Not really (although I use the 2015 model)... Basically Kodi uses the Shield's network connection.
Do you have similar experiences with other apps on your Shield?

I have been having with the Crunchyroll Addon as well as the App (have a Crunchyroll Premium account).

On the Netflix App as well, outside of Kodi.

A lot of people seem to be having this issue :/

Hi everyone!

I finally bought an Nvidia Shield Pro (coming from a Xiaomi Mi Box 3).
So far I'm really happy about everything, and I can finally read my 60fps 4K HDR remux files...BUT, I'm having a huge problem with my HD tracks (it worked before with my Mi Box 3 )

My setup is : 

Shield > HDMI > TV (Panasonic OLED FZ800)
                         TV > Optical input > SONY MDR-HW700DS (5.1 because of optical input)
                         TV > HDMI (ARC) > LG SK5 Soundbar (2.1)

TV Settings : 
Audio format : Automatic (I have PCM ou Bitstream options too)

Shield Settings :
Dolby effect : checked
Select formats : Automatic
PCM 5.1 : checked

Kodi settings :
Number of channels : 2
Output configuration : Optimized
Allow passthough : Checked ==> Checked everything but not "Enable Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver), as before with my Xiaomi Mi Box 3)

Thanks a lot for your help (I've spent 6h today on this...)

BUT, I'm having a huge problem with my HD tracks

It would be a good thing to explain what exactly the 'huge problem' is.
And perhaps also include a debug log (wiki) file, for more details under the hood.

Indeed, my bad.

Here's the debug log : https://pastebin.com/bindkkhs

The problem : I've managed to read some of my DTS or TrueHD movies this morning, but since then, I can't make it work again (no sound) and I don't know why.

Thanks for your help.

Here's the debug log

A full uncut/unedited log file would be appreciated. Problems can start at moment, and solving puzzles with missing pieces is not our preferred hobby.

Do any of your devices accept 5.1 PCM input ? Your Sony AVR won't (Toslink is PCM 2.0/DD/DTS only) and unless you have eARC, your LG soundbar will be PCM 2.0/DD and possibly DD+/DTS only too.  (I guess your TV might transcode PCM 5.1 to DD - some do something similar for AAC TV audio)

Do your LG soundbar and your Sony AVR support DTS and/or DD+?  If so then I'd enable DD/AC3 pass through, and also DTS and DD+/E-AC3 if supported - but disable True HD and DTS HD passthrough (as these can't be passed through by any of your connections by the look of it).  DD and True HD with a DD secondary stream (often hidden) will be output as DD, DTS will be output as DTS if DTS passthrough is enabled, DTS HD MA/HRA will be output as a DTS core stream IF DTS passthrough is enabled, otherwise it will be decoded to stereo.

If one or both of your devices don't support DD+/DTS then I'd enable 'Transcode to DD/AC3' as that will convert all non-DD 5.1/7.1 audio to DD 5.1 rather than decode to PCM 2.0 stereo.  (This will also allow you to listen to AAC, FLAC and PCM multichannel content in DD 5.1 rather than stereo PCM 2.0)

Thanks. The button mapper works beautifully for me; applied to both my Shield TV units w/Netflix button opening up Kodi.

Thanks a lot, after checking 'Transcode to DD/AC3' it's working! I've bought a splitter to be able to read HD audio with my Sony setup, still waiting for the delivery! :-)

I thought your Sony amp was optical input only?  If you buy a splitter that has Toslink/SPDIF output - that won't give you HD Audio.  The only route to HD Audio is via HDMI input - or does your AVR support HDMI HD audio, but not 4K, so you have ordered an HD Audio HDMI splitter?

Hi,

I'll explain a little more, here's my setup :

Shield > HDMI > TV (Panasonic OLED FZ800)
TV > Optical output > SONY MDR-HW700DS 
TV > HDMI (ARC) > LG SK5 Soundbar (2.1)

I will now use (soon I will receive it) this audio extractor : https://a.aliexpress.com/_ACU3HV 

Shield > Extracteur (HDMI IN 1) > Extracteur Audio (HDMI OUT B Audio only) > SONY MDR-HW700DS : to be able to get HD audio
Shield > Extracteur (HDMI IN 1) > Extracteur Vidéo (HDMI OUT A Arc) > TV : for 4K HDR
TV > Optical output> SONY MDR-HW700DS : to be able to get the TV sound into my Sony headset
TV > HDMI ARC > Barre de son 2.0 : to be able to get Shield & TV audio

Maybe something's wrong, but I hope that it will work...

Don’t know if this is an old issue but I’m having issues playing back 480p 29.97fps content. I have my resolutions whitelisted but it still up scales it to 4K and playback is extremely slow when starting then speeds up and stops. Do I have a setting wrong in Kodi or is this just an issue with the Nvidia Shield?
