this is installed at my shield,you can use aptoide to install all these, or if u hv the apk, need sideload it.
- playtv@unifi apps, version TM.APHONE.7.8.19  com.huawei.phone.tm
- rotate screen orientation apps, version1.0 ( to rotate the screen to landscape, not portait)
- sideload launcher apps, version1.05 ( to launch the play tv easier with the icon)

so far i can watch without much issue.

Ah ok. Will give it a try

I'm using mod version which I got from-->https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4726997/+1940.

It's working fine for me.

Been using this a while then today it prompted for an update when I open it. I wish I know what was modded so that we can mod own self and anyone can release it when needed

So happy with the new shield remote. It's much better than the old flat remote. Got it for rm200 from a local seller on shopee.

fuhhh niceeeeeee. If only i have more budget to justify that RM200 haha

After my shield remote kaput (cant pair anymore), I used Amazon's FireTV remote (RM18 on taobao) for like 4months, then now using G20 generic remote. Ok la got enough buttons, just the voice mic is hit and miss. Compact and decent. My wife say she still prefers Shield original remote miles ahead eventho it doesnt have air mouse function

Took me quite a while to decide to spend that RM200 ha ha.

Tried using a generic bluetooth remote for a while that my friend lent to me. Too many complaints from wife and son.

I understand that. A happy wife is a happy life for us indeed haha

Hahahahahaha. So funny la seeing some 'technical' comments here. Sounds like people forgetting common sense after being too clouded with tech knowledge.

Android phone as box? Lol. Need to charge+HDMI output and do 8K? Rm800 phone ? RX580 alone is huge and pull so much power compared to Nvidia shield?


LOL

I had one 8K video - a documentary.

Basically I still find any device can playback smoothly. None of my device can playback smoothly or just simply crash or show not support. Haha!


  • Laptop iCore7, Nvidia 970M (5 years ago) - Very lagging

  • Apple TV 4K - Crash after few mins, not smooth also.

  • LG C9 TV - Show not support

  • Apple iPad Pro 2020 - Show not support


I haven't try my mobile POCO F2 PRO yet. Tonight try. Haha

Sounds like a good time to get upcoming Xbox SX or RTX3080 soon just to put inside media pc and cucuk to TV whistling.gif

On side note, even S905 variants now have AV1 decoding capabilities when at the same time nvidia releasing desktop GPU with AV1 hw decoder as well. Such amazing how small devices can be so efficient for media consumption. Portable and practical. Lagi2 those dongle type (tho they have few limitations due to its size and cooling capabilities)

I'm using it and no regrets. Instead of wasting money buying cheap TV Boxes.  biggrin.gif

ya man. my wife said my shield 2017 is sooooo much nicer in terms of usage compared to her mibox S. Generally both does the same thing (albeit shield has extras) but where it does the same thing, Shield just excels far and much more pleasant to use]


Btw anyone here using AMD GPU? I wonder how SteamLink or AMD Link performs compared to Nvidia Gamestream/Moonlight. Thinking of going to AMD GPU soon but still use Shield to stream games from PC

Guys, can you recommend cheap game controller which works perfectly good with NVIDIA Shield TV PRO and can be bought here?

Thanks in advance.

I use 8bitdo SN30Pro+. Works with shield for gamestream, works with my Sony android TV for gamestream, works with switch as switch pro controller together with gyro, works with laptop to play emulator including gyro support. The battery pack can be switched our and replace with rechargable AAA. Usb C controller.

Roughly the battery life lasts about 2weeks of heavy use.
