There is an option to disable the volume bar to stop the sound dropping when changing channels on iptv, check your settings

What app are you using to watch iptv

Ummm I don't think I could discuss it here.

(Its a custom apk)

That’s probably the problem
Have you updated it since the shield update ?

I’m using stb emu and it was crashing constantly and I checked for an update and sure enough there was one there, I had it set to auto update but for some reason 7 apps were pending

Funny enough I'm having the exact same problem with stb (I can run my iptv service through it also)

Will get on to the devs.

Anyone using a dualshock controller with this? Is there a way to make the controller shut off with the shield? In my case it stays awake even the shield is off

Stb emu is fine now since I updated it
The Oreo update must have caused problem with several app, I’ve had to update most of them

HDMI-CEC has stopped working on my shield. It was working perfectly but stopped sometime between the last update and now. It used to turn on and off the tv when I shut down the shield but stopped doing that. All settings remain the same. Tried the usual of turning off....reboot....turn on...no difference.Anyone have the same experience and anyone have a fix?
Thanks.

Thanks for that, my emby app was giving me the same error and it’s sorted now
90% of my time on the shield is using emby it’s a great app, not as good as plex though but sadly my hook up for plex library share was shut down

Any easy way to get on this beta other than joining the waiting list and hoping for the best?

If you have a shield then you already have access. I never signed up for the beta but can still see Far cry 5 and Fortnite available .

I definately don't see games like that available in Geforce Now. Just the standard Geforce titles such as Sniper Elite 2 etc...

They appeared on my shield an hour or so ago.

Clicking them from the recommendations bar produces a JSON error

Going into Nvidia games and scrolling down, it lists the games but says my account is not linked to the service.

Teething issues I'm sure

Yep. Appeared this morning, was not there last night. Great.

So does that mean I can play games from Steam Library on Shield without having to turn on the PC?

Yes. I was playing Portal 2 from my shield this morning. You still have to do things like click download, but it's downloading it from steam to the nvidia cloud, not to your computer. Was a first for me, but I like the idea!

Sooooo....I've never been a PC gamer, but does this mean I can buy PC games without even having a PC, and just play them on the Shield?

Looks that way but has to be from Steam or uPlay stores
