That's a weird one. The XBox doesn't support control over CEC, so it's not that. I'd say for some reason it's sending a WOL packet to the Shield. No idea why though.

Yeah, it's just the CEC that is telling the TV to turn on/off from the shield I guess, so turning off HDMI CEC on the shield would stop it from happening. I don't particularly want to do that, though.

Just wondering if the xbox controller was ever paired with the Shield?

Don't think so, can only remember ever using my wired 360 controllers with it. Will double check when I'm back in Dublin, though!

Oh, it's possible for sure. Not sure why it would still be attached to the Shield as it's bluetooth, but anything is possible.

Did you read the thread at all ?

Do people not just use their TV remote with this through hdmi-cec? Mine works better than the shield remote, which can be laggy. The game pad is still the best for navigating though

How does this work?

I've got a 6tb external drive connected directly to my shield. How do I access this from my laptop to add and remove content? Also, can I connect to this from apps on my phone and a second shield device?

Thanks, I got connected to my external drive. A couple of other questions.

Does the IP change? I'm also getting an error about permissions to delete files on the external. You need permission from S-1-1-0 to make changes to this folder.

If I try to edit a file name I get the file is too large for the destination file system, but it's already on the system which is strange, I'm not copying it. Anyone ever had these sorts of issues?

Seems I'm not the only one but not seeing a solution. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/990538/shield-tv/folder-access-denied-message-when-deleting-folders-on-the-shield-from-pc-/

When you use a HDD with the shield it will create a folder called Nvidia shield on the HDD this is the only folder that is writeable within the drive.
You can create sub folders like movies,tv,music etc and place your media there and point any app on the shield to this folder, if you have media already on a HDD just leave it there and point to it,but the shield will still create the folder above and the same scenario will then apply

So I got my shield from Amazon Prime day... what a let down. It is ridiculously slow navigating menus, to the point, it doesn't do anything for 3-4 seconds, then it moves one icon and then does nothing for another 3-4 seconds. This painful experience is consistent, never once has been it smooth since i've plugged it in and turned it on..

Sounds totally wrong,mine is rapid

I use the game pad always

The right analog stick on the controller also works as a mouse pointer which is needed for the free movie/tv show APKs you can sideload. The regular remote can't be used as a mouse pointer.



PS2, no. PS1 is included. The emulators retrox supports can be seen in this video.

Does anyone know how to get one in Ireland?

I'm a teacher and I was very generously gifted a few One4All cards at the end of the year. I don't really spend money on myself so my fiancee is insisting I gift myself something nice with them. I was to use them to replace the roku 2 and make up the difference with my debit card but I'm not having any luck.

Obviously I'd love to go the Amazon route, but that isn't looking great. I already checked a few of the other shops but Littlewoods is the only place that sells them that I could see. Any ideas lads?

Littlewoods accept one4all vouchers.

Currys used to sell it, but doesn't seem they do any more.

I was in a similar position to you, and I just cashed out with One4All (at a loss of €7) and bought it on Amazon.

portach king

I saw that. They're also charging €249.99 which is around €60 more than Amazon.

If I have to, I will, but I was wondering if there was anywhere that some of you guys might know that didn't have such a big mark-up.

Back from a few weeks away.. noticed Fortnite has been added.. played it on Mac a few weeks ago and didn't think much of it but maybe I'll give it another go.

Has there been any news about GeForce Now's pricing? Unsure if it's still free as I signed up and my trial period was during when rolled it back to free for all.

It's still free but now supports lots of the pc games you own in Steam/origin/battlenet. You launch to a VM where the game installs, it streams from there and saves to the cloud
