most of the time i using X-plore File Manager. to transfer big files between my NAS and shield.
nice UI.

Glad you like it, I didn't own it yet but I know it will be awesome.
Can't find a valid reason to replace my Apple TV 4K box yet. Haha!

I only recommended Nvidia Shield or Apple TV 4K if budget not an issue. Haha!

I mostly use for local content and Apple TV 4K did a brilliant job.

Too many people though Apple is more in stream and strict control on local content.

Frank speak this is not the case, Apple had freaking well support on local content.
I had 3000+ local films and 99% most of my 4K HDR collection is REMUX copy and Apple TV 4K never fail me at all.

It support full lossless track by direct playback all track in multi channel PCM format, this is good as you no need to worried your sound system support or not all the format, you just need to ensure your system support multi channel PCM format. This help for DTS-HD as my Soundbar not support it, but due to Apple auto render to Multi-channel PCM, this make me no worried on DTS-HD track.

Ya you do miss the Atmos because now Apple only support Atmos in DD+ but not Atmos in TrueHD but this is not very huge differences as I had personally compare with original 4K UHD blu-ray which run as Atmos, and frank speak it is not very big differences at all.

That the reason I don't find the need of replace it because Apple TV 4K also support Lossless track pass through as well as all type of HDR passthru.

You talk on Dolby Vision passthru for local content? Nearly 100% local content is not Dolby Vision but only HDR because Dolby Vision unable to remux out, you need a full 4K UHD blu-ray for Dolby Vision and not much people doing this.

Also I find Dolby Vision is not that big differences as well, thanks to LG's own proprietary HDR solution which process HDR signal dynamically frame by frame using enhanced dynamic tone mapping. This process make the normal HDR and Dolby Vision basically no different. I had compare it as well and I can't notice the different. Dolby Vision in LG OLED Cinema mode do far darker than normal HDR Cinema mode which is not my liking, thanks to LG give alternate option where once you change LG OLED of Dolby Vision to Home Cinema instead of Cinema, it is like exactly LG OLED of HDR in Cinema mode.

Now the only issue is I don't have any device capable to smoothly playback the only 8K HDR film I have, it is a documentary call "Wunderkammer: World of Wonder", probably my next TV Box will be need to support 8K HDR playback. Haha!

I will buy the Nvidia Shield if this TV Box can playback 8K HDR film as currently my Apple TV 4K only manage to playback around 12 mins but then it will crash! Haha! My few years ago Core i7 with Nvidia Geforce GTX-970M laptop is playing the film like 5 fps. My LG C9 direct connect the HDD is unplayable, it said format not support.

Actually today make me feel 4K HDR is not a must if you have a group of people that very well known to remaster / transfer the film.

I just watch Marriage Story - Criterion Collection edition, OMG! From details to color is far far far better than original version Netflix provided in Dolby Vision. Off course Netflix is compress but color & film noise wise, Criterion Collection did far better.

They is no different of REMUX v/s original, you know what is REMUX right, it is fully unaltered version of original DVD / BD / UltraHD BD.

I also do REMUX myself all original BD I have as I am freaking lazy insert disc already.
I can't REMUX UltraHD BD as I don't have UltraHD BD disc drive for PC. It is freaking expensive and difficult to get.

Ripped is compress if it is compression used on it and normally it is compress and people will not call it or put it as REMUX because REMUX is no compression, it is exactly same size and same quality as original where normally people use MKVToolNix to REMUX from original TS file where store at BD or UltraHD BD.

Maybe 8K won't be take off but I just want to playback that documentary.

So far I had another 2 titles did bad in 4K HDR, the worst is the 1st Superman movie, this is terrible bad! I hope Warner Bros redo it.
Second is King Kong (Peter Jackson edition).

But most the time remastered in 4K HDR still far better than 1080p blu-ray, here some oldest title that make you jaw drop restoration.
2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, The Doors, Bram Stoker's Dracula, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Easy Rider, Lawrence of Arabia, Schindler's List, The Shining, War of the Worlds, The Mask of Zorro, The Wizard of Oz.

Hi, did you using LG OLED TV?

I am considering Nvidia Shield TV 2019 now but I can't find much what Dolby Vision profile is support.

So far I already have all kind of profile film but the support is miss here and there.

Apple TV 4K

• dvhe.04.06 - MrMC player only
  
• dvhe.05.06 - MrMC & Infuse player
  
• dvhe.06.06 - MrMC player only
  
• dvhe.07.06 - No support
  

LG C9 TV Internal Player

• dvhe.04.06 - Not support
  
• dvhe.05.06 - Able to playback but with dual image error
  
• dvhe.06.06 - Not support
  
• dvhe.07.06 - Support, playback without issue
  

Wonder can Nvidia Shield TV 2019 support all dvhe profile or not.

A lot comment this model full of issues, else I already bought last time.

Wait PS5 la. Haha!

I mentioned it means I play games. Haha!

can i buy shield using forwarder such as buyandship instead of buy from amazon which shipping charge $45?
is using forwarder can get cheaper postage? what about custom?

I believe that if you pay the USD46.44 for this nVidia Shield 2019 Pro at Amazon, you don't have to worry about SIRIM.

Looking to get a unit online..any good vendors to recommend?

I have many "videos" in mkv format stored on external hard drive. Currently I just plug into USB port of tv to play but mostly the files are not playable due to codec issue.

If I get a Nvidia shield pro and connect the external hard drive to it, can it be played more reliably? The correct way to doing this is use vlc player installed in Nvidia and play the mkv and output via hdmi to tv?

Thanks.

There are few ways to complete shutdown Shield TV:-
> If using Shield 2019 remote or any 3rd party remote with dedicated power button, then just long press power button for more than 8 seconds or until NSTV shutdown.
> Add the Shutdown shortcut to quick setting menu, so when you long press back button it will open the quick setting menu
> if the remote have menu button, it can be customized to add Shutdown command. *not so sure if nvidia have added the command
What is the function that your tv remote can't do except Air Mouse and what about your original Shield remote?
I have been using my Sony TV remote mostly to navigate and even able to access Home, Recents apps & etc shortcut via CEC.

Unfortunately, that is the only way to turn it ON after a complete power OFF. 😂
To overcome that issue, u cn diy a new extension cable with in-line switch, add 2 flat pin female socket & place it somewhere accessible.

For my usage, i will juz leave it at standby once the main switch is turned on & will only power off at night or when goin out & nobody's at home.
The shield only use very minimum power during standby especially the newer shield 2019.

There are many users would agree with u on the ON/OFF function & nvidia did respond to it with similar answer as per megahertz explanation, it was designed to be always ON for the plex server & smart functions.

There were complaints on the slow wake up issue on the forum & nvidia did respond on the matter by suggesting a complete power cycle for TV, Shield & AVR to reset hdmi cec connection.

Yup, this will cause all device connected via HDMI to re-negotiate the handshake.
Do unplug for 10 to 15 second b4 replug in to power drain the devices.

I beg to differ. Can other android boxes play Netflix in 4K?

i use media server as box

under 1.8k

12c24t xeon rx580 16g ddr3
named anything u want to do.

even emulate switch with this server
netflix u want 8k also can
sound? it depends ur speaker

wat is nvidia tv shit @rm1k?

can android tv box fit in

sound processor unit?
like creative sound blaster or asus xonar?

media box is great because its cheap
and easy to use

definitely not for prosumer

old ppl tend to go less tech savvy stuff
no offence.
1st i m sorry if i use some harsh words
just mind boggling if sone1 paying premium price for entry level staff.

shield TV is highest end tv Box (1 of it)
but its price already touch much higher end solution

but i guess i maybe wrong
as many still paying Apple Macs for nearly 30% performance / dollar compare DIY setup.
