    Bought from last deal, so awsome and way better than mi box

    • wisc on 27/12/2018 - 08:39

      thanks, this is what im looking at doing, for users not looking to game, and just occasional movies, did/would you notice much difference on a 1080P TV?

        It has a very snappy/responsive interface which makes it a joy to use.

      • WhiteEvo6 on 27/12/2018 - 10:49

        I use it for Plex and it does struggle with half my mkvs. Unsure why some are an issue, Plex setup on a pc was fine with the same movies so it’s not Plex. It pauses briefly then continues to play. This is using it as the server and client

          I have the same setup and I have no issues with MKV at all, using it as a server as well.

    Best media player, streamer, and one absolute godly unit for emulating all the old consoles from psx/saturn/GC/Dreamcast and everything below them. Its a beast.

    • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/12/2018 - 09:13

      Have you managed to get GC to load through Retroarch? I have my ISOs pop up in the XMB but there's no GC core, wondering if I can download the PC core and just shove it into the files for Retroarch Android, haven't had time to look into it yet though.

      Dolphin on the other hand is hit and miss. Some games, Crash Tag Team, Tony Hawk 3, Crazy Taxi, etc. work at full speed while others, Spider-Man, Nightfire, and so on will stutter worse than Professor Quirrel and Benecio Del Toro in Last Jedi's love child.

      • vlahka on 27/12/2018 - 19:12

        Emulators can sometimes be tricky. I know I've seen people say they can get this or that game to work perfectly while I experience nothing but grief so I end up trawling forums to see what settings they used. If Dolphin is acting stupid, try using the Vulkan backend and not going over 720p internal res.

        • TheDukeOfNukem on 06/01/2019 - 14:41

          Stumbled into my old comment while looking at Shield prices over the last year or so for a friend.

          Setting the emulated clock speed to run at 30% got pretty well every game to run flawlessly at (as far as I can tell) full speed for me in Dolphin. Never got Retroarch to work with GC or DC games, couldn't be arsed screwing around when Dolphin (aside from Spidey 2 and American Wasteland) and Reicast (aside from like 3 games) did the job fine for me.

          Would have been cool to have them all running through the same front end, but instead I'm rocking Dolphin, Mupen, PPSSPP, and Reicast without issue, and that's more than fine for me.

    • Xizor on 27/12/2018 - 09:29

      Any recommendation for nintendo specifically? simplicity appreciated :)

      • vlahka on 27/12/2018 - 19:17

        I wish all emulators was just load and click :) Retroarch is great but not user friendly. Would be good to watch some youtube videos of people setting things up. If you're after N64, the best emulator would be Mupen64Plus FZ. But would really recommend doing some PSP and Dreamcast playing as there were some brilliant games on those and the emulators are perfect. Same goes for the psx which has the greatest collection of rpgs ever. Heres a link to a bunch of recommended emulators for the system. As always its worth checking forums and youtube clips if you have issues with a certain game. Emulation community is super amazing.

  • 0zyt0zy on 27/12/2018 - 09:37

    I contemplated alot before buying as to why I need this as I already have a Sony Android TV. Nevertheless it's a standalone Android TV, speedy and snappy interface with no bloat and is well supported. Only gripe is I wish it had a Blueray/4k disc player.

    • Matt86 on 27/12/2018 - 10:10

      The Sony Android OS on my X9000E is terrible, I liked the idea of it being inbuilt and convenient but the shield decimates it.

  • G Wok on 27/12/2018 - 09:39

    Anyone having kodi issues after waking up from sleep with shield 7.2 update?

    • bert-lifts on 27/12/2018 - 10:52

      Seems like there's quite a few different bugs with the 7.2 update. While not widespread, plex is completely broken for some of us on the shield. Hope nvidia releases some bug fix updates asap.

  • DiscoJango on 27/12/2018 - 10:00

    if the first pc screen was still usable as a stand alone device, rather than being mirrored to the shield, i would get this

  • Matt86 on 27/12/2018 - 10:08

    If you're considering one of these, just do it.

    Pretty much the best thing I've purchased this year.

  • lebrongarnet on 27/12/2018 - 10:35

    Niche question but I bought a Synology DS918+ NAS and have it set up running a Plex Server. Will this Shield TV combine with the NAS for 4K playback? I should also mention that I have Plex Pass so Hardware Transcoding is possible. Looking at using this to replace my desktop as a HTPC.

    • Shaak on 27/12/2018 - 10:48

      I'm interested to know this as well

      • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2018 - 12:20

        Up 1, I wanted to know also. Does Shield support enough codecs for Direct Play as a client?

        • Xizor on 27/12/2018 - 19:38

          I have that NAS and have Plex server running on my PC (already there, not gotten around to adding one on the NAS). SMB shares on both PC and NAS aswell. PC, NAS, and shield on the same LAN via cat6 ethernet. My 4K stuff is on the NAS though and it plays back via Kodi fine which is what i normally use but Plex worked fine aswell from memory.

          I dont think you need to worry about transcoding unless your streaming to other peripheral devices.. not something I do. Direct play for most things on the shield.

    • Drj55 on 28/12/2018 - 00:18

      I have a 918+ connected to shield via lan then outputs to receiver and TV via hdmi. The shield plays 4k hevc 10bit HDR without breaking a sweat. Without plex pass yhd cpu would sit at 95% but with the pass allowing hardware transcoding it a sits at about 20%. Fast forwarding, skipping and loading is all very speedy. My only complaint so far is that output is set to the TVs maximum so that the shield will upscale 1080p to 4k rather than letting the TV do that.

      • lebrongarnet on 28/12/2018 - 10:30

        That's awesome, thanks for your response and I will be picking one up. Big question now is whether I will be able to stream 4K over Wifi and if not then convincing the missus to let me run a LAN cable across the ceiling!

  • Ozbaragain on 27/12/2018 - 10:52

    Can anyone pls answer if this unit can stream optus sports through it ?

  • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2018 - 10:52

    I'm going to ask a very rookie question… But given it has Android/Google assistant, can I:
    - turn my tv on with NVIDIA shield connected, and request title 'xyz' to play on Netflix?
    - can I cast like Chromecast?

    • Click_It on 27/12/2018 - 11:12
      +1

      When you wake the Shield TV with your controller, your TV will automatically turn on and when you can verbally request the rest. There is a setting for this but it's on by default on both of my units.

      • Xizor on 27/12/2018 - 19:46

        Chromecast seems temperamental on my shield. Real cc works better. But most things have apps so i dont need to cast to it much.

  • Click_It on 27/12/2018 - 11:15

    Question: Does this package include the stand? Some do, some don't. The main photo shows the stand included but others go to effort to show it's specific inclusive. Just checking as I have some stream buffering issues with both of mine (WiFi), I've got to thinking that standing the units up might be a better way to go.

    Since it's not specifically mentioned I'm assuming its a lazy main photo and it's not included.

    • bert-lifts on 27/12/2018 - 11:46

      Yeah… standing it up is not going to help lol.

      If you're having wifi issues you need to improve your home network or go wired.

      • Click_It on 27/12/2018 - 11:59

        WiFi mesh is on the to do list after early in the new year.

        It's only periodic but a reboot of both the Shield TV + Modem makes it go away for a few days depending on whos doing what in the house. There's a few walls and internal floor to get through so it goes alright considering.

  • woodsy175 on 27/12/2018 - 12:22

    I'm looking closely at snapping one of these up… would people recommend this over the PS4? Generally using it (PS4) for gaming, plex, netflix, amazonvideo etc.
    Seems the shield has all similar features as the PS except it obviously runs android TV? Am i missing something why these are so highly sought after? Thanks in advance.

    • Xizor on 27/12/2018 - 19:48

      Have both, shield leaves it for dead as a media player imo.

  • 0zyt0zy on 27/12/2018 - 12:54
    +2

    If you have PS4 this ain't much useful unless you want to hook it up to bedroom TV if you have one.

    • woodsy175 on 27/12/2018 - 13:12

      Ok cheers. I will try to resist buying for now 😅

    • Xizor on 27/12/2018 - 19:55

      Shield has more/better streaming apps and supports a lot more codecs than ps4. It is the superior media player.

        • Click_It on 27/12/2018 - 20:45

          Someone bought the last 2 at the higher price. Clearly not from OzBargain.

    Received mine today. Damn the controller feels nice.
