I didn't check for IR 'leak'. Since turning it on causes problem witj the Bluetooth connection with the hub/console (at least for my set), I am keeping IR off.

On "Stay awake on music", I already have it turned On but it still goes to sleep while Tidal is playing.

If turning IR off fix the battery issue then your remote has software issue or failed to update properly(happens before). Hopefully this is long term fix for your remote.

Does the sleep issue started after the SE 9.0 update or before that?
Try to see if can reproduce the same sleep issue with other app like Spotify.

If this issue happen after the SE 9.0 then best report it to Nvidia.

I am not using SE 9.0. Withholding the update in view of all the reported issues.

I have opened a ticket with Nvidia but it has not responded. Will update.

Received an e-mail from Nvidia suggesting a list of things to do.

But luckily I don't have to go through them cos the problem I had somehow is gone! Now Shield doesn't go to sleep while Tidal is playing. I really don't know what happened.

On another note, does anyone know whether it is possible to :-

(a) transfer some data from the internal storage to the adopted storage?; and

(b) choose where apps are installed?

I have a USB drive acting as an adopted storage in order to add more space to the meagre internal storage. But I notice that most of the data and possibly new apps which I installed recently are still in the internal storage. This causes problem as sometimes I get a warning from the system saying that the internal storage space is getting very low; the culprit which eats up a lot of internal storage space is the Cache, which I will then clear when I get that warning.

There is a lot more space in the adopted storage which is not utilised by the system.

Thanks!

a. If you're referring to app data then that depends on how the developer coded the app to use which storage location. Unfortunately most Android TV apps are coded to use internal storage only.

b. Yes, but still depends on how the app is coded and need to do it individually.
i. For apps that support move to adopted storage:
1. Go to settings>apps
2. Select the app
3. Select Storage used
4. Select USB drive

ii. For apps that don't support move to adopted storage:
1. Enable Developer option(Settings>device preference>about and continuously click on Build until it show 'You are now a developer' popup).
2. Go to settings>device preferences>developer option
3. Enable Force allow apps on external

Now you'll be able to move almost all apps to adopted storage individually but note the following:
i. Not all apps can be force to adopted storage. Ex: pre-installed and system apps.(Even if it is possible to move these apps, DO NOT do that)
ii. Some apps do not support adopted storage and able to force move to adopted storage but will stop working. Will need to move back to internal storage.
iii. Apps that require DRM is best to stay at internal storage. (Ex: streaming apps)
iv. If you had to reset your device before backing up the adopted drive, you'll lose everything.
v. In some case, due to slow in scanning/detect by the system after cold boot the apps on adopted storage won't appear on the system.(usually happen on ATV dongle with Y-cable)


Note that with SE 9.0(Android 11), the force allow apps on external option will cause some apps on adopted storage to fail to update via Google Playstore.
The workaround is to transfer the app back to internal storage, then update and move back to adopted storage.
This is Android issue started since version 10.

Congrats..

Do note that currently the latest public update is still not that stable and there's issue with Plex that is affecting media with TrueHD.
Other than that, Android TV 11 permission restrictions is kinda annoying and Kodi does not "officially" support Android 11.


Unfortunately, you can't skip the new update because for first time setup it will force update to latest public release..😅

Edit:
IMO, most Android TV do not support Android TV 11 yet..👀

Means TrueHD not support in latest update? 😱

Not related to Shield TV firmware, only the latest version of Plex app is having issue with TrueHD but they have fixed it in latest beta.

Oh OK. Great to know they are fixing it. Plex is my main apps and I want TrueHD support. 😁

Apple TV 4K Dolby Vision layer support is too limited. Playback using Plex sometimes get kicking out, Infuse support DV is not good. Poor VPN format support. So it is time to ditch Apple TV 4K. 😅😅😅

As for Chromecast for Google TV is under power, browsing Plex is way too slow. Higher bitrate over 80Mbps file keep buffering, not support TrueHD. So it is time to ditch it as well. 😅

I also gatal tangan wanting to get an Nvidia Shield for my Plex. Feels that my smart TV is not able to handle it properly.

You may consider. Price now seems OK. 😊

Smart TV handling Plex even worst. The new interface is very power hunger.

right now not even using the plex app on my smart tv. I have to use Kodi + plex plugin due to how many library I have

Emm..
Iinm, Shield TV DV support is similar to Apple TV 4K. Both can't do full(P7 double layer) DV and will falback to HDR10. Meanwhile, CCwGTV can do Full DV.

Apparently, there is another issue with Plex(server) where HW transcoding is broken and no fix yet.

Oh no. Nightmare then.

I though Shield and CCwGTV is same on DV. I want replace CCwGTV because it is not fast and buffering if the bitrate is over 80mbps. Also basically YouTube in CCwGTV can't playback 4K HDR 60fps, it also buffering. All this issue is not there in Apple TV 4K and no issue in my PC even 8K.

I don't do transcode, I play it in original maximum size.

Are you using Wifi or dedicated ethernet? I used a USB hub with Power Delivery to get a USB ethernet for the CCwGTV.

WiFI, I original plan buy and attached the USB ethernet but CCwGTV is slow in Plex, so I never plan to buy the ethernet. 😅

Plex in Kodi ok but the interface is err. 😅
