Pog22 50 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Solves 99% of issues for me. Back to performance had with 7.1.0 firmware. Suggest anyone using a shield to give it a try. New link makes it easy to apply. https://surveys.nvidia.com/index.jsp?pi=ba7320153df027d1e7ff8991eb3a8173 I've had 7.2.3 available since yesterday, been holding off on installing it until someone like you reported that it was ok.

onyx42083 0 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hey guys, so I’m on 7.2.3 currently. And have applied for the beta hotfix. Will this fix the Emby issues? Or is it 7.2.3 in general? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effinG 2 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Mine is working great since joining the test programme. Only had 1 small pause on my test video (loads of fast moving action and 55Mb/s direct play) which is pushing my 70Mb broadband speed (with other devices streaming at same time). Fixed as far as I'm concerned! Shield no longer for sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 738 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I could have sworn I was in the nVidia beta program but I don't have this hot fix. Was it something additional that you signed up for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for the quick reply. How long before I see an update after submitting my serial #? Also I’m using Emby exclusively with BaconFeet. Is that the pausing issue people are having, or is it own server based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzyade 124 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 When you go to install this update does it say anything other than "SHIELD Experience Upgrade 7.2.3", how do I know whether I'm installing the broken version or the experimental fixed version? I've only just registered our 3 shields so I have to wait for their backend to catch up, but just want to know if it specifically showed as the experimental version when you went to upgrade.

Pog22 50 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The full version number is in an image I posted above. You will only be offered this update if you are on the test image program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzyade 124 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 When the update is finished there is a information, that this firmware is only for experimental using and it is not allowed to share. So there's no way of knowing if you've had your serial number enabled yet? It just says 7.2.3 and it might install either the public release or the test image labelled at 7.2.3 depending on whether they've enabled the test image for me yet. Is that the gist of it?

fizzyade 124 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The image hit my boxes a few hours ago, for those that are interested the update is labelled differently, something “Shield verification image”. So far so good, it’s behaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzyade 124 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 So updated to the engineering image and all 3 shields in the house, all have flawless playback once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesand83 2 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The website to sign up for the preview program says it's not taking new applicants and neither of my boxes have gotten the latest update. Any ideas on how I can get ahold of it? The stuttering is driving my wife crazy, which means life is not great for me right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there is a way but, hopefully, that means they are close to a general release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
