FrostByte 5024 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I assume server is similar according to Jonz. There are 4 possible options. Allow all the time, Allow, allow when using the app, and Don't allow. Edit: not sure what the difference is between Allow all the time and Allow is.

FrostByte 5024 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 You're not have any issues with server though right? It's only ATV that is having permissions problems according to the logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using direct path as well hence I believe that is the reason why media is not playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's there for VLC and the other apps Not sure why Emby would need access to the files when it's not running 51 minutes ago, FrostByte said: Here's the option you should choose according to that article. I've seen the same thing posted by the nVidia staff on their forum. Hopefully @ebr can add it to the next beta release (.65). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm after installing the nvidia Hotfix i am able to play from Emby webapp etc. However, i guess this is out of the Emby topic - Kodi is busted, i am stuck unable to restore my build as it restrict access to the Android folder.

3djc 5 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just to come back to earlier point, I can confirm Shield Pro works great with Dolby Vision fetch from Emby on synology to Panasonic Oled TV, unlike earlier Shield version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiomixer 327 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I’ve got kodi running here using the kodinerds 19.3 for dv. Working fine. Recently uninstalled and reinstalled a number of versions for the dv option. Never a problem. We know SE9 works (I have 3 running it for months) If I were @JonzI would first do a total reset of shield and start fresh. As fickle as windows can be with drivers I wouldn’t put my horses in that stall on a reflash. I could not even get device manager to recognize tegra in device manger no matter what driver I tried to use. My MacBook Pro was easy. The dude in the video was having an issue with windows as well.

mightymouse11 4 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Aghhh!! I splashed out on a tube Nvidia Shield for Christmas and was very disappointed to see it struggle and fail with high bitrate 4k REMUXs. I then took the plunge and swapped the tube for the Pro model which sorted the playback issues BUT now just 3 days later, the auto update kicked in to SE9 it’s worse than the previous tube issues. Constant stutters… Anyone else experiencing the same playback issues and any tips to resolve? Most annoying that a FireTV Stick Max @ £36 plays everything with 0 issues!

Just an update for everyone. Thanks to everyone that has chipped in with ideas and tips to solve my issues without doing a fallback to Shield 8.2.3 I've got my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 working to somewhat serve my purpose :- 1.) File explorers are working 2.) Emby Server is working fine, seems fast now as well. I can stream via webapp and also thru Emby Next Gen 6.2.6 in Kodi 3.) I am able to restore my Kodi build backup (this saved me a lot of time mucking around with setups etc). Got the idea to use Kodi's File Manager in another thread here to copy my backup into the Profile\Addon Data folder and the restore utility could see the backup and restore it. 4.) Emby-next-gen 6.2.6 for Kodi is fast, building a fresh library took a jiffy. 5.) Haven't tried loading Retroarch yet, but i don't game much nowadays anyway so it's a smaller issue. 6.) All streaming apps on the Shield is working - Netflix, Prime, other IPTV stuffs. Keyword for everyone facing these issue are :- a.) Install the Nvidia hotfix. remount NAS drives etc b.) reinstall file explorers, kodi and what other apps you have that's not working and give it permissions again Edited January 18, 2022 by Jonz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
