Enabling direct file playback on Nvidia Shield. A wiki article is on the way. In short: 1. Install Android TV beta .36 2. Enable direct file playback in settings (Android TV app) 3. Mount your network storage in Nvidia Shieldhttps://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4836/~/how-do-i-share-pc-folders-with-shield 4. Check the mount point name in Nvidia Shield 5. Make sure the Emby library path matches the mount point name in Nvidia Shield. You can use the alternate path. Be careful, that route is case sensitive: If your Nvidia Shield mount point is /storage/YOURSERVER/Your_SharE/ your library path or alternative path must be \\YOURSERVER\Your_SharE During playback, check SFN (Stats for Nerds).

It's essentially "unlimited" already. Other devices that run this app are going to likely be far lower than the Shield TV as it's the current Media beast for streaming. The Devs could change 160 Mbps to "Unlimited" but it will not change what the device can play as it can't reach 160 Mbps. I am not in favor of setting limits with the argument that this content is unusual. I do not see so crazy that the current hardware can support that, my wallet sure not, but others...

rbjtech 4257 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think this thread has gone a bit off topic tbh and that discussion should probably go into 'General Discussion' but I completely agree with @cayars If you have access to uncompressed masters, good for you - but don't expect a product designed for commercially available media to play them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Thanks for all the help on this thread. It's been amazing. Everyone chipping in with ideas and solutions. It's an excellent community of clever people and very patient. The end result is a fix and easy setup for the end user. Once the stable release is out I will switch over from my qnap to the windows server. Happy days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4257 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 @CHA0SENG7NE - could you also mark Luke's Beta response with 'best answer' - as it's a long thread and other people will likely want to jump directly to the answer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
