vdatanet 1617 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I'm just glad its sorted (hopefully), just a shame we'll probably have to wait a few months for the next Shield Experience Update I do not mind waiting until the next Shield Experience Update, I was convinced that this would take longer to be solved.

Guest asrequested Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) To all you guys waiting for this fix, you are aware that Shield's chromecast will play the HDR cropped movies, correctly? It just doesn't support all the audio options. Edited May 31, 2019 by Doofus 1

Jdiesel 1431 Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Whats the verdict on this? Are we still waiting for an official Shield TV update? Has it been fixed in the 7.2.3 test images?

vdatanet 1617 Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Yes and not that I'm aware of. In my case, test image solved the pause problem but the issue with cropped HDR movies is still there. I think it's solved in an Internal Build and we have to wait. Anyone can confirm this? Edited July 8, 2019 by vdatanet

Guest asrequested Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 You can still use the Chromecast built into shield. That plays the HDR, correctly. It just doesn't support all the audio codecs
moviefan 187 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Shield Experience 8.0 out today. Upgrading now. Hoping this fixes it! EDIT: Unfortunately no, it doesnt look like this helped at all. Edited July 31, 2019 by moviefan
ACGriffiths 2 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Sigh, glad I kept my Plex server going. Emby is heading in the right direction but the clients are still just too immature. If we are relying on system updates just to get clients to do the most basic thing, play a video correctly, and still not getting the fix when the update comes, then all the bells and whistles aren’t much use, are they

Plex use a bastardised version of ExoPlayer to get around the issue. 1
ACGriffiths 2 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 So in other words, Plex fixed the issue, Emby is shrugging it’s shoulders.
ACGriffiths 2 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Also, I know the problem is with the Shield. As I said, we were all waiting on *their* update, and got nothing.

Also, I know the problem is with the Shield. As I said, we were all waiting on *their* update, and got nothing. Nvidia mentioned here that it was fixed, but for some reason, it didn't make it into the latest public release.
ACGriffiths 2 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Isn’t that what a fix is? It works, so yeah, it’s fixed. How you get there isn’t the point, it’s the result that counts. I like Emby, far more than I do Plex, but I miss never having these little playback issues. And that is after all, the point, is it not? Playback that works
Spaceboy 2573 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 I know I say this as an unaffected person not having a 4K tv but I really don’t think this is that high priority. It is is a bell / whistle to me, not a core issue

Playback that works re rip the disc and this time don’t crop it. You’ll be fine [emoji3] 2
ACGriffiths 2 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Actually I’ve taken to buying iTunes versions the last couple of months because of this issue (saves space, physical and digital, too), but our friends at Disney won’t put the Marvel movies up there in 4K. I have the UHD Blu-ray’s, but don’t have a drive to rip yet, so I just download BR rips. The bandwidth is another issue so I think I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and rip them myself, and probably into an Apple friendly format, which will mean giving up atmos, since it appears nothing can convert to the web version of it Edited August 1, 2019 by ACGriffiths
ACGriffiths 2 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Yes, I know the DD+ atmos doesn’t have metadata, but as I say, I just want it to *work*

strupie 0 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 CBers, you're wrong! Nvidia did actually mention it was fixed in the public release. From the release notes: Video/Display "Fixed bug where cropped HDR content would not enable HDR playback in Emby." So we can't take Nvidia on their word? That's basically what you're saying because it's not working. That's a serious allegation. I personally love HDR content and one of the reasons I choose a Shield TV. I also love Emby but as ACGrifftihs is saying, these 'little' issues, to some it's not a core issue but for some IT IS. I was looking forward to this update for MONTHS because HDR is important to me... and now it's been released, the dissapointment is so much greater knowing they allegedly fixed it. C'mon Emby, do whatever you have to do.
