You have to create manually the xml file on your pc and save it in a network share visible from the shield.
Install a Filemanager on the shield like X-plore File manager from the google play.
Open the Filemanager, go to the settings and check the option to see the hidden files.
Then go the network share and copy the xml file in the shield local storage : Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/
You can launch Kodi.

thanks, do you feel it's safe to use your config on mine, it seems like it's generic enough.

I tried your config but the video is no longer smooth. It is choppy. Any thoughts? What is the overall issue, my network?
thanks
I've actually tried a few settings and all so far stutters a bit. Not sure why. Anyone have any thoughts,

Yes the network could be the root cause.
Do you use Wifi or Wired network connection ? wired is better.
The network speed should be 1Gb, if it's 100Mb, it's not enough for the 4K. What is the lan speed in the shield network option?
Moreover, for the 4K, it's better to have a cache at 150Mb = 157286400.
Did you try other players like MrMc?
MrMc works fine without any advancesettings.xml, just be sure that in the video settings, the option advanced timing is off.
You can test with the lite version which is free.

I need to do wifi for now. I'm using the 5g mhz channels. The speed to netflix is 200+ to 300+ My plan is to somehow get the hardwire connection but I need a friend to help me figure out and run the line. I will test the setting of 157286400

I went almost the whole movie without a freeze with that setting but in the end it still froze. There's no hope with this device for this to work successfully.
