clarkss12 304 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 A word of caution on those remotes, they are finicky.
Sammy 790 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) While we're discussing remotes, I use an Elite and Hub in the Family Room and 900's with RF to IR blasters and FLIRC in all other locations. BTW, What profile are you guys using for FLIRC with Harmony remotes? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Edited January 3, 2019 by Sammy

EODCrafter 181 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 The Developer Setting (Keep Shield Remote) (2017) awake during playback has no effect on a upgraded 2015 remote?
vaise 340 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 OK - lots foa good info here. I bought the shield, and a new Samsung HW-N950 soundbar. All 4K stuff in dolby atmos and HDR no issues - nothing needed to tweak or tune in my testinf of this. Now to actual using it and a few issue have been 'raised' by the wife : 1 - Where are the roku thumnails (ahem... forgot about losing that). 2 - Wife trying to go left and right to skip forward/back...... does nothing. Extra clicks needed ? So far that is her complaints. I may need to check a roku in another HDMI port just for her stuff...... I will spend some time investigation/reading the android forums for info.
vaise 340 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 correction - the left and right is skipping - dunno what she was doing...... Can you disable that volume thing on the remote ? Im never going to use it for volume.

EODCrafter 181 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I just discovered the Y-Button on the Joystick brings up the full TV Guide while still in view channel mode! Edited January 8, 2019 by EODCrafter

It'd be nice if the Guide Button on Harmony Remotes could be mapped to do the same. @@ebr Possible? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

Sammy 790 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Just got this from nVidia Support: I thought I get back to you just to save you some time. According to our dev team, the Fixed volume setting currently does not support bluetooth audio devices. The function is only designed to be used with HDMI and USB audio devices. Thanks for your understanding.

Sammy 790 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Just got this from nVidia Support:I'm thinking that I need to set the Bluetooth speaker to maximum volume and tell my Harmony remote to use the shield TV to control the volume. Thoughts? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

vaise 340 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 What are Roku Thumbnails? Why would they be on AndroidTV? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Obviously they are not on Android. In my wife's words 'they are the best think about FF and RW' If you never had a roku, then you would not be aware, but when you FF and RWD in emby on a roku, you actually see a 'thumbnail' image for each point - so when you are say... FF through ads on a recorded TV show, you can see when they end and literally it takes a second to go right to the show again.

vaise 340 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 I think it's like 7 clicks or something to skip commercials. My woman just counts the clicks... Not so in Australia - they seems to decided how long the ad's are based on time of day, popularity of the TV show etc etc - sometimes, just one ad, sometimes just an add for the TV Show you are already watching for the next day. It is all over the place - same with the EPG - they will start/stop a TV show when they feel like it (seeing as they have little control when they try to fit all those ad's in).
