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.

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..👀

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.

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.

That's the problem currently there's no device that can do everything without any limitations. Each device has some kind of issue even though if it support full DV.

Did you try using SmartTubeNext to play same YT video?

1. The interface is render at 1080p same as CCwGTV. Probably due to NVIDIA upscaling it looks better or due to different type of launcher being used.
2. Youtube/Stadia HDR use VP9.2 codec which Shield TV SoC(Tegra X1/+) do not support and the CPU is not capable enough to play it smoothly using software acceleration. Only manage to play it smoothly max at 720p.
3. It will be awesome if NVIDIA able to removed it but unfortunately they can't. The Discover UI is available on Shield TV but not Malaysia so ya VPN is needed to activate it but it will take some time or after few reboots. Do make sure all apps are updated especially Android TV Home, Android TV Core Services and Google Play Service.

My recommendation:
1. Disable auto system update. (Only update after reviewing feedbacks)
2. Since you are using Plex so better to disable auto app update on Google Play Store because they are pretty good at screwing up.. 😂
3. Disable IPv6. (Some streaming service that don't support IPv6 will stop working)

1. Oh.. you are referring to screenshot then yes NVIDIA added the feature to capture screenshot with upscaling(if available) but the native system UI is still max at 1080p and the rest is upscaling. Need to wait for Android TV 12 for proper 4K UI.
2. Ya, nothing can be done unless they built new SoC and add AV1 support.
3. That because Google TV Home UI is always active and background service is always ready to ping Google server like using streaming apps meanwhile Discover UI need to be activated by the server first.

Just to clarify on Dolby Vision Profile 7, there are two category:
1. P7 Dual Track/Dual Layer - Shield TV '19 will playback the file but in HDR10.
2. P7 Single Track/Dual Layer - Shield TV '19 will playback the file but it will ignore FEL data. In this case the TV will show DV tag and the output is similar to DV Profile 5 but better.

So in short, Shield TV '19 do not actually support and output real DV Profile 7.
Based on what i have read, you'll only notice the differences if you have seen real DV P7 output.

There are more info on this matter involving Shield TV but I strongly advise not to do more research on this..😅

I'm referring to Shield TV '19 hardware support tor DV.
Even if the media app support full DV playback it will still depends on the real hardware capabilities to process the data for output.

I don't think so from what i understood for full DV P7 playback, the device need to support dual decoder which is something that Amlogic SoC can do.

Even if it has been 'hacked' they still need the app to read the new method/format. All the existing apps are based on standard SDK that only 'read' format that is provided by Dolby.

There is another method to improve dual layer processing with TV-led(if the TV support). Shield TV support both Player-led and TV-led mode but it is choosen automatically based on EDID. According to NVIDIA, there's no plan to add option to manually select the mode at this time.

Can you point to me where is this hybrid single layer profile 7 documentation. I can't find it.


TV will show DV tag whenever there is media which contain DV data but TV won't/can't provide specific information on what type of data available on the media file.

The FEL contain the real DV information which only BD player, Amlogic SoC and iinm some TV able to process and output because the device need to able to decode both media and data at the same time.

Ya i found some topic related to this 'hybrid'.
After reading it, the purpose is to:
1. Apply DV from web-dl source on to movies/shows that was released on Blu-ray disc without DV
2. Convert/create new Profile 8.1(HDR10 fallback) from DV Profile 7 so it can be played on both DV or non-DV display.


Based on your screenshot:
1. DV Profile 8.1(BL+RPU) - has DV and HDR10 but it is single layer without FEL.
2. DV Profile 7(BL+EL(FEL)+RPU) - dual layer but Shield TV will ignore EL layer during playback and TV will still trigger DV flag.

Afaik, there is no DV Profile 7 Single Layer exist officially or unofficially and there is no way to force Shield TV to output/process FEL.
When the DV Profile 7 is converted to single layer it is either become Profile 5 or Profile 8.1/8.2.

Here is officially DV profile. Refer the BL:EL section, the 'N/A' means the profile is single layer and has no EL layer.

*There's another DV Profile 10 for AV1 codec and it is single layer.

No.
Both VP9.2 and AV1 was released after Tegra X1 was built.
The next Shield TV or future retail Android TV device will need to support AV1 for Google certification.
