This is just wrong. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/shield-tv/9/503663/shield-experience-upgrade-911-released-11122/ The most recent update to the Shield was November 01, 2022. Here's a list of updates to the Shield, by version: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/software-update/ I came here looking to see what the best current streaming box might be that I can travel with, and find you saying this? I have a Shield TV Pro (2019) at my house and it has seen several updates. One thing I like a lot about the Shield is that, it being Android, I can (and have) installed a third party launcher/homescreen on it. The vanilla homescreen has this huge banner ad on the top for shows I don't watch, and the layout isn't really to my liking. So I installed ATV Launcher on it.

The Shield is using decade old hardware, Maxwell that was released in 2014. It's ancient. Software updates mean nothing when your hardware is so old it has cobwebs. If Nvidia had released something with more modern chipsets, it would be great, but it's so old it's honeslty no longer worth purchasing if you want the latest codec support like AV1.

RanmaCanada 345 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 We have to wait for a new Shield at this point. Even the new Amazon Firecube v3 can't handle soft sub Karaoke well. It is so frustrating that this box does everything, but struggles as soon a lot of text is on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manutdsoc20 2 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Are people still using the Shield in 2024? I'm using Vero 4K+/V's but becoming tired of the Kodi solution. Anyone using Dune and able to use a Emby client with Coverart? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone using Dune and able to use a Emby client with Coverart? cheers Yes, as it's still the best device by far for hevc, DV and HD Audio setups with passthrough to AVR's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4266 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) 14 hours ago, manutdsoc20 said: How is Emby app on the Shield? Does everything function well? cheers The Emby AndroidTV App (the one in the Android store) is the most TV focused and mature App out there. Being honest, it looks a little dated now - but functionally, everything 'just works' with all playback controls very easily accessed. Some are 'hidden' such as pressing up or down for chapters for example (while playing). There is a long running thread trying to align the 'new' Android App to AndroidTV 'TV/Remote Control' functionality and progress has been made - maybe it's me being stubborn or set in my ways, but I've tried to use the new App as a replacement many times and it's just not as 'slick' as AndroidTV. Worth trying both for sure to see what you prefer. (you'll need to sideload the new App) Edited January 22 by rbjtech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
