It may happen again. Next time no need to do factory reset.

Thanks I did a factory reset and chose to enter google account manually instead of copy from phone. Now it's working fine. Thanks

Since you have Mibox, i assume it should has Chromecast functionality built in.
Does Mibox cast to TV feature is on par with Google Chromecast v2?
*
There is some downside on Built-in Chromecast(Android TV) currently;-
a. No Guest Mode
b. Some smart features may not work with Google Home
c. Ambient mode does not work sometimes or in some cases not available.
d. Sometimes after each update need to clear data first to make it work.

I bought a Nvidia Shield TV (tube) 2 days ago, I found it strange that I am not able to login to Google account from apps like Youtube. Is this a region lock thingy?
*
Do you have 2FA enabled for your Google account?
If you do, disabled it bcs Android TV has some compatibility issue with it.
Also disable IPV6 on Shield TV.

1. Kodi can read ISO files but not sure about BD ISO.
From BD folder it can show simplified Bluray Menu except java based menu like actual Bluray player.
2. Afaik, not possible. Shield TV does not have the capability to decrypt BD security. But Shield TV able to play some DVD movies from external DVD player.

Considering between Nvidia Shield Tube 2019 and Chromecast with Google TV

Price difference is close to 300 bucks apart.

Purpose : Streaming only , but very particular with the performance and ease of use. Ability to side load apps as well.

Anyone can share some insights on the advantages/disadvantages between this two boxes in helping me make a decision before purchasing?

Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Both are suitable for online streaming & can sideload apps.
Unless using it for local playback then there are other factors to look at.
Using the device with compatible apps won't affect the performance except side loading apps that are not optimized for Android TV OS.

For that price range & usage, CGTV is sufficient but do note that it has some issues unfortunately.

Here are some Pros & Cons:-

i would suggest direct go Pro too, NS Tube macam not enuf ram or wat not. It is a powerful streaming devices, but if u wan use it to playback high bitrate file like 4k bluray HDR remux mkv etc, better go for Pro. i bought a tube and i felt i should have pay more for Pro. if u wan for streaming only, nvidia tube is enuf, now i think tube price quite cheap also.

The tube plays remux file without issues with Kodi, it was smooth at least for me. Only downside is it's not supporting AI upscale to 4k 60hz

i played movie 4k hdr BD remux file if thru kodi plex via network sometimes will hiccup abit, not sure is network issue or not la. But i tried to play BD ISO, this one definitely not working at all.

AI upscaling not required at 4k bro, cos the video file already native 4k, why still need upscaling haha. Another is cannot play HDR video on youtube, i guess that is shield tv punya weakness la.

Yup, that's the main culprit.
It has cause lotsa issues & definitely will give hard time to Nvidia to improve or implement new features on NS Tube.

What is the average bitrate for the remux & is it lossless or lossy audio?
The issue appear when playing video with high bitrate (uncompressed video) & will get worse when playing with HD audio.
One of the reason why most users decided to return it & got the Pro version instead.

Haven't try iso files, but so far remux or any file I throw at it with Kodi runs perfectly, i notice while playing Flac files the front section like 1-2 seconds was skipped not sure why. The AI sampling I mean is from HD 1080 source to 4k . Tube can support up to 4k 30fps . But the pro with latest update can go up to 4k 60fps. Therefore the only disadvantage I feel. But anyway 30 fps should be sufficient with most content, even cinematic standard is 30 fps as I read.

ohh okok.. if 4k remux local so far me also no problem. BD ISO i tried this spears and munsil one 80gb total the folder, can run menu but cant run the video lol. Ok understood, is upscaling like 1080p 60fps to 4k 60fps. Yeah unless is youtube but youtube now mostly can have 4k 60fps video, so still okay la. Anyway if i wanna watch youtube i will switch to TV onboard app lol.

However i realized 1 thing, probably is nvidia shield limitation, cannot play HLG HDR format. Lately got His Dark Materials released in HLG HDR format, the video can play but no HDR. I switched to TV Plex, can playback HLG HDR..

may I know what app you use to get in BR menu? As far as I know Kodi can't support this , is it Plex you are using?
I understand that Remux is same as BD iso. Is my understanding correct? If that's the case iso issue is not a big deal.

Yes (Rip encoding dependent), a remux is exact digital copy... 1:1...

I am using kodi, the BD file is actually not in iso package, is a folder. So I browse into there is a index kind of thing. Not sure why it couldn’t work if I choose to play whatever chapter in the menu.

Cheap can look for Gamesir wired controller
There is a thread in nvidia's shield tv forum with a complete list of compatible controllers.
