Anyone owns the latest Shield TV/Pro 2019?

Any thoughts on the device? My main purpose is for Netflix Atmos support & local blu-ray downloaded files (MKV/BDMV) around 30-80gb size.

Currently have Minix Neo U9-H & UBP X-700, both does not have Netflix Atmos support.
And playing local content via External HDD would occasionally gets the movie hang or even stutter.
Not sure if this is due to both device processor being unable to handle playback for big file size...

How are your experience with Netflix Atmos & Local playback content via external HDD? Any hang/stutter issues? BDMV any issue?

Previous owner of Minix Neo U9-H. Yup disappointing it couldn't handle 4K movies very well. Switched to Shield 2017, problem solved. Not sure about Netflix Atmos though.

I don’t plan to setup a Plex media server. Mostly the files just delete after watching haha. So a player like vlc which can play mkv is good enough.

Any recommend local seller for Nvidia shield pro ?

Use Kodi instead

Disney+ Hotstar for Malaysia will be available on Android TV platform so it should be available to all Android TV devices unless they decided to blacklist Shield TV on their Google Play app console.

According to Disney+ CS, the app will be available to Malaysia supported device on 1st June 2021 so need to wait till then for the app availability.

Fyi, it will be the same app that is released for India & Indonesia user.

Alternative to Fandangos build there's Maven build based on latest Kodi 19.1.

The Maven build is superb. Always keep updating and it is getting better and better.

Btw, Kodi 19.3 is out with the high bitrate TrueHD/Atmos fix but they missed the micro stuttering fix. Might available in Kodi 19.4 at the end of next month.

The micro stuttering problem on DV MKV only right? No?

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..😅

Are u talking about Plex or Kodi?

Just installed Maven Kodi Nexus (5/4/2023). It just ignores my NFO files. Anyone have similar problem?

Edited: Problem solved. On Android TV go to Settings -> Apps - Kodi -> Permissions -> Files and Media and select "Allow all the time"
