Probably a noob question. In the "START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box " thread it is suggested that for 4k/HDR content Gigabit Ethernet is recommended. Wouldn't a USB 3. HDD directly connected to Shield give you more throughput?

Hello,
I need your help with the voice control of the apps on my Shield (Kodi, Netflix, Plex). I have the Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro connected to an LG Oled C9, I can turn On/Off the Nvidia with the google assistant (in English on my mobile) i will receive the google nest mini tomorrow. On the Shield settings i have apps searchable by voice commands from Shield, Kodi and Plex appear, but Netflix does not appear. Despite having kodi and plex as "searchable" I can't open these apps with voice comands, when saying "Ok google ask Shield to open <app> this is what happens:
Plex opens the web page (on the mobile) and kodi launches on my mobile also. Could you please help me out?

I was able to play a DV mp4 file today on my shield pro and it triggered DV HDR mode on my Sony X950G

I'll get the media info later but the release group labels them as "single layer" or "SL" so they only have the one video track instead of the 2 that mimic the actual source

Kodi is working fine on my Shield, with one weird exception. I paired bluetooth headphones with the shield, and I can use the Audio output option on the Shield menu to change audio from HDMI to BT. THis works fine on all my apps except Kodi. On Kodi, the audio will not switch to the headphones, but keeps playing on my soundbar. This issue does not seem to be present with the MrMC app.
EDIT- This happens when playing back Dolby Audio. A workaround is to disable passthrough. After that, the BT headphones work fine.

Are there any new features in the 2019 Shield that are NOT done in software. The new codec support, DV, Dolby license is all software. I am not 100% sure about AI upscaler but I'd be very surprised if it wouldn't run on the older models since X1+ is identical to X1 but with die shrink for less heat etc made for the Switch.
Nvidia could easily have offered this as an upgrade to older loyal Shield owners, add the new remote and its an identical device. I feel like its such a ripoff to charge $200 for hardware thats 5+ years old now.
