Pog22 52 Posted May 19, 2019 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. Thanks
fuzzynet 1 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I have image 7.2.3(30.6.131.71) still have problem in emby.

Thanks I have image 7.2.3(30.6.131.71) still have problem in emby. The problem exists in that Nvidia firmware. They have not released an update for it publicly yet as far as I'm aware.

No I am on the test image program. There is no public update. I've installed it, I'm still fixed and working fine Edited May 20, 2019 by Pog22

Pog22 52 Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) You referenced 7.2.3 above which is the current public release. Yes it was labelled as this on the Shield, Same version number as the public release. When you clicked into it said experimental something or other Edited May 20, 2019 by Pog22
onyx42083 0 Posted May 21, 2019 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

effinG 2 Posted May 21, 2019 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!
Sammy 790 Posted May 21, 2019 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?
onyx42083 0 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Yes it should fix the pausing and freezing direct play issue introduced in 7.2, it did for lots of us anyway. 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?
onyx42083 0 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 I have generated a fix for the freezing issues. Anyone that’s interested let me know.
fuzzynet 1 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 I have generated a fix for the freezing issues. Anyone that’s interested let me know. What is the fix? Everything freezes for me in Emby.
onyx42083 0 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 What is the fix? Everything freezes for me in Emby. Which platform, box, service are you using?
fuzzynet 1 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Which platform, box, service are you using? Hetzner, Google Drive, Cloudflare & Cloudbox(Rclone_VFS/MergerFS)
mikeB2210 26 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Yes it was labelled as this on the Shield, Same version number as the public release. When you clicked into it said experimental something or other Thanks for your advice. I also installed this patched firmware and it seems the Problem with emby are gone.
fizzyade 132 Posted May 24, 2019 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. Thanks
Pog22 52 Posted May 24, 2019 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

fizzyade 132 Posted May 24, 2019 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 132 Posted May 28, 2019 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.
fizzyade 132 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 So updated to the engineering image and all 3 shields in the house, all have flawless playback once again.
jesand83 2 Posted June 1, 2019 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!

Not sure there is a way but, hopefully, that means they are close to a general release.
