Brand new 2019 Nvidia shield cannot connect!

Got al kind of local client Samsung TV, LG TV, PC no problem but from the shield no way it cannot see my server locally witch is on a rockpro64 it might works from my remote address but I want to use it locally.

I finally succeed app is very buggy I had to use a keyboard to enter everything and this case the mouse is very useful to click on the right button, at some point I had to remove my server (emby connect issue)since it was not reachable but right after it asked for my user name and I was in business

What app are you using?

Hi.  Yes, it sounds like you probably installed the wrong app.  Please be sure you installed "Emby for Android TV".

I just double check, I got Emby for Android TV on the shield and Emby for Android on my phone.

oh well!

Can you please explain exactly what you thought was "very buggy"?

 

Thanks.

Well I was able to enter the server address but often when I was clicking "next" Instead to put me to the "port # "field, it went to the previous page, this is why I had to use a keyboard /mouse to click on the field above the virtual keyboard.

Plus instead to keep my input when it was kicking me out to the previous page I had to reenter all the info again this why with the mouse is useful you have access to a copy paste menu

 

Also but I think it is an Emby connect issue it could not find my server or was saying it was disconnected.

.

Any way never went to all this trouble with my other clients LG TV;SAmsung ;Firetv;PC theater or web browser

Hi.  Yes, those on-screen keyboards with dialogs can be quite finicky.  The older version of Android on the Fire devices handle it a lot better.
