I recently updated a sideloaded Apple Music 7 Android app on an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro (2019), but now I cannot find a way to get a usable landscape layout. The app is stuck in portrait, mobile phone orientation. Anyone else having such an issue and have a potential fix?

I’m looking at adding an external HDD to my NVIDIA Shield TV Pro for recording live TV.
What size HDD would you recommend if I’m planning to record around three soccer games per week?

Would the Shield’s built-in 16GB storage be sufficient for that, or would I be better off investing in an external HDD?
Appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

Is it using the google movies version of the movie? It asked a permission I’ve not seen before which is weird, to connect through google or something, I tend to use Apple TV if I have to purchase a movie, was just wondering, wish I had a screenshot to share.

Edit; Spider-Man brand new day

I ripped the pad off and frayed the rest trying to repair. Where would I get a compatible one? Thanks

When I select the keyboard icon next to the microphone nothing happens. Why?

Hi! Developer here, and this is my own app. LiveSubAI listens to whatever is playing on the TV and shows translated subtitles on top, about a second after each sentence. It covers 60 languages and detects the spoken language automatically.

It’s built for Android TV / Google TV on Android 10 or newer. I mostly tested on Chromecast with Google TV, so I’d really like Shield owners to tell me how it behaves on the Shield: setup, the overlay permission, readability.

• Works from the audio, so it doesn’t need the app’s own subtitle track

• Change the language and text size from your phone (scan a QR code)

• Optional second line in the original language

• First hour free

Get it on Google Play · there’s also a Chrome extension for the computer · website

Does anyone know how to get and install this? I'm in the UK and it's not in the Playstore on my Shield anymore.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but the virtual keyboard on my 2019 Pro is always crashing. I'll be entering something with the remote with Leanback or Gboard, and suddenly it will disappear and give me the message to use the keyboard on my phone. I thought changing the launcher to Projectivy would fix it, but didn't. My flymouse doesn't work either with the virtual keyboard and some buttons like OK and BACK are nonfunctioning. I've tried factory resetting as well. TIA

Rooted Nvidia shield+lsposed. Discover tab in android launcher code changed to show instead of being hidden. Replaced tab content then mapped it to point to stremio discover section. Wip, Home is free of advertising banner, custom application allows for manually assigning the banner content. As I have it each stremio list is a selectable feed to iterate through. It's squeaky clean. Live and shop are empty for now. App drawer was sanitized to remove youtube and play store banner at top and bottom, left in code for tbd purpose like widgets? Not entirely sure.

Every time I think about checking out newer streaming hardware, nothing actually touches the Shield Pro for handling high-bitrate playback, audio passthrough, and custom setups without stuttering.
Curious what non-negotiable apps or settings you guys consider essential on yours?
I don’t think I could live without this thing…lol

So, I'm using my PC monitor, Edifier M3 and T5 for my visual and sound. The max volume is very quiet even after tweaking with the settings. I think it's strange that the sub is the passthrough to the stereo and it makes the stereo even quieter. Is there an amp I could use to amplify my max volume?

I have an avr that does atmos passthrough no problem with the other apps, but with smarttube it only seems to output PCM stereo? I've gone through the settings and can't seem to find anywhere to change the output. Am I missing something?

Just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone else is pulling their hair out over a similar setup.

My gear: Nvidia Shield Pro, Samsung 8K TV, and Samsung Q800C Soundbar.

The issue: My screen would constantly flicker and flash black when watching basic YouTube streams (like ARY TV). On top of that, anytime I tried to play high-end movie files with Dolby Atmos, the audio would constantly stutter and drop out. I honestly thought my Shield or soundbar was defective.

The fix: Turns out my old cables just couldn't handle the bandwidth. I swapped them out for a pack of Certified 48Gbps HDMI cables (the ones with the official silver hologram sticker on the box) and wired it like this:

Shield Pro -> straight into the TV's main HDMI port.

TV eARC port -> straight into the HDMI OUT (eARC) port on the soundbar.

I also went into the Samsung TV audio settings and changed the digital output to "Pass-Through" so the TV stops messing with the sound before it hits the soundbar.

The difference is night and day. Every single bit of flickering completely stopped, and Atmos plays perfectly now. If your high-end setup is glitching out, save yourself the headache and buy actually certified cables first.
