vdatanet 1564 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I think they probably will issue a fix fairly quickly but the next beta will disable direct play for VC1. Thanks, I've tested the last beta and now video encoded with VC1 is transcoded. I'll keep an eye on nvidia forums (btw, I don't like new nvidia forums) and I'll tell you when VC1 direct playback is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgalbavy 6 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Do you mean server beta? It was 7 days ago and doesn't mention this in release notes. Is there an Nvidia shield app beta that I don't know about from reading this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgalbavy 6 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ah! OK, found it via google (not easy via forum) and then had to remember my Shield is logged using using a house role account and not my normal google one I'll wait until I get home to see how it goes!

vdatanet 1564 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think they probably will issue a fix fairly quickly but the next beta will disable direct play for VC1. Second hotfix will fix this: Quick update. Hoping to share the second HotFIx image tomorrow with these issues addressed: -... - VC1 playback not working. - ... But it's better to keep transcoding VC1 until this hotfix becomes official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgalbavy 6 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Would it be possible to have a switch in settings (unless there is solid tests in the code) for those who are on firmware versions that work and do not? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Achilles~ 9 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hate to resurrect this thread but can anyone else confirm bugs I am seeing on the Shield for playback of The Matrix and Matrix Reloaded remuxed from BD. The Matrix - Transcoding forced Matrix Reload - Artifacts and green screen decoding errors right at start I am observing the same issues with both Plex and SPMC on the Shield. Using other platforms and apps like iOS/tvOS + Infuse, iOS/tvOS + Plex, Embedded Plex Media Player don't exhibit these issues. I think Nvidia has a deficiency with their HW VC-1 decoder on the Shield. I produced these issues on both a 2015 and a 2019 ShieldTV Pro using the latest SE 8.0.2 and SE 8.1.1 (HotFix 4) respectively. @@cayars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
