QUOTE(AVFAN @ May 26 2018, 04:24 PM) ok, i am not using androidtv on shield but on an androidtv tv. Many thanks for the tips but it's not working.... I followed your steps but app crashed. Looks like no choice but to get IPTV.astrogo 8.0.4.2 was the only version that worked on my tv for a long time; other/later versions do not work. today (or yesterday), 8.0.4.2 also stopped working, likely got phased out by astro support. the good news is i was able to install the latest 8.1.98 and got it to work. app is not in playstore; also can't get it to work using normal sideload. what i did: install a browser (i use brave), but think chrome or other browser will work too. search for astrogo apk, find in apkpure or other. download, open, log in, all good. i hope that works for shield' androidtv as well. |

Looks like no choice but to get IPTV. sorry to hear that.it probably means the firmware does not cater to some of the asian iptv apps. i have a box that could not do astrogo previously but is fine now with a new firmwar which supposedly also caters to similar iptv in vietnam and thailand. |

QUOTE(jdgobio @ May 26 2018, 08:54 AM) Resolution does switch automatically. It's just the frame rate & colour-space that needs to be switched manually. Apple tv is good for streaming apps like netflix hulu etc. as res/colourspace/frame rate switch works well for them (not 100% sure if atmos works with netflix or not, as only pcm works for mrmc)Apple TV 4K can't even do audio passthrough, so no point getting that. Overall, the Shield is still better than any other box except for this problem. Hence why i said we need amlogic libreelec for others as in kodi as yes, apple tv isn't a good choice for local playback So two devices are needed for max media consumption satisfaction... For now i will stick with shield 2015 and 1080p ecosystem till hdmi 2.1 chain of devices are available |

I was previously using 2 boxes but I am just using the Shield mostly and my Sony Android TV (for Dolby Vision). Just have to see what new boxes come up in the next year.

Is it a good time to buy from Amazon now? 0% GST. Or wait for next gen?

QUOTE(doggmeister @ Jun 25 2018, 10:41 PM) Guys is anyone getting issues with steaming iptv using shield? I notice with freeflix and mobdro the stream always stops after 5 to 10 minutes, and hdstreamz didn't work at all. Is it better to get an Android box for these? Because they work ok on my Samsung in the same WiFi network at home without any freezing, thoughts? Think issue is with more to do with app, not box.But possible some apps optimized better with mobile devices. Also, I would rate freeflix as among the less reliable among livetv apps. Try redbox, livenettv. |

QUOTE(doggmeister @ Jun 27 2018, 04:14 PM) Thank you I'll try those! these apps are all variations of each other, drawing from the same sources.there is also an issue with the selected player. some offer player options, some pretty stuck with their own. my experience, MX is not good. Xplayer and VLC are better. |

QUOTE(doggmeister @ Jun 27 2018, 08:14 PM) Yes I'm beginning to think these are all just front ends to the same streams interesting point on mx player I've been using that I'll need to try vlc, thanks! If u r watching wc2018, the best i can suggest is...Acestream media app + reddit soccer streams. 90 secs delay but crystal clear picture. Next matches.. 10pm, https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4600175/+220#entry89407994 |
