Had to disable Dolby Vision on my Nvidia Shield TV 2019, because DV playback has been a stuttery mess for the last couple weeks.

Both the Plex app & the third party Plezy app for Plex are showing symptoms.

Da ich vorhin von @sturmsucht gelesen habe, dass er auf einen E2 Receiver gewechselt ist: Linux STBs sind seit ca. 20 Jahren eins meiner Hobbies 😁, auch wenn es zuletzt immer weniger geworden ist.
Aktuell habe ich nur noch eine VU+ Uno 4k im Betrieb. Ich habe das Board und die Rückblende in ein 19 Zoll Gehäuse gebaut, damit es in unser Rack passt. Ein TV ist nicht angeschlossen. Die STB ist nur Streaming Server für zwei Nvidia Shields. Funktioniert seit mehreren Jahren hervorragend.

Does anyone here run a #NvidiaShieldTV with #LineageOS and likes to share their experience with that?

#Android #NvidiaShield #ShieldTV

Ich habe jetzt 3x #NvidiaShield hier rumliegen und nun weiß ich auch nicht. 😅

Ein paar Beobachtungen:

• Die Teile sind alle von 2019 und haben eine super Performance verglichen mit anderen aktuellen Streaming-Sticks oder Boxen.
• #Android bzw. #AndroidTV ist auf Version 11, daher gibt es leider keine komplett automatischen Updates durch nachinstallierte Stores wie #FDroid.
• Updates durch #Nvidia scheint es trotzdem noch ab und an zu geben.
• Google-Login lässt sich durch einen Trick umgehen.
• #LineageOS ist offiziell für alle Geräte verfügbar (die Nicht-Pro-Röhre muss man physisch hacken), aber...
• ... es entfallen dann viele proprietäre Funktionen. Kann auch aber egal sein, wenn ihr nur freie Apps nutzt und kein Dolby Vision und AI Upsacling braucht.
• #HEVC wird dekodiert, #AV1 nicht. Reicht mir.
• Normales Nvidia Shield TV (Röhre) von 2019 nutzt nur ein 32-Bit-Android, was kacke ist, wenn man bestimmte Apps nutzen will.
• Leistung reicht zum Zocken via #Emulation bis zur #Dreamcast.

I am #annoyed. I originally bought an #NvidiaShield #streaming box in December 2017. Used it for years until one day I was deleting a film I'd just watched from the USB stick it was on when the power went out. Electricity came back on in a few minutes, but the #Shield never did.

Okay: freak accident. So I bought another one in June 2022. And last night it went insane. It will start and get to the homepage, but whatever button I touch, the screen just flashes. If I manage to open an app, it will crash in a second or two. Tried the box again today, and it's the same. It's not even stable enough to try a factory reset.

Now I have to find another #MediaPlayer. After one Shield lasting 4½ years and the next only 2½, it's off the list.

I mostly watch #YouTube #ReVanced on #TV, and that requires a touchpad to use easily, so I have a couple of iPazzPort keyboard remotes. Does the #Onn use a bluetooth remote? Walmart says nothing, but Android Police says yes. So I guess I'm watching stuff on my tablet for a week, then grabbing a #streamer on Black Friday.

Ich bräuchte mal einen Tip bezüglich #StreamingStick. Ich habe #Videos mit #DTS #Tonspur. Brauche ich, um das DTS-Signal beim Abspielen mit #Plex auf meinen #Reciever durchzuschleifen, zwangsweise ein Gerät mit DTS-Zertifizierung oder ist das beim Durchschleifen des #Audio-Signals egal? Bisher habe ich ein #NvidiaShield genutzt, möchte mir aber etwas aktuelles und schnelleres zulegen... Gibt es gute Alternativen zum #NvidiaShieldTV?

People of the fediverse, help me do:

I have quite a collection of 5.1 FLAC files, and some .dts and .ac3, of music albums recorded in #surroundSound. I used to be able to play these out to my amplifier with discrete 6-channel inputs from an Xbox with #XBMC, and later over HDMI from a raspi running # raspbmc

Nowadays I have Samsung Atmos soundbar and an #NvidiaShield Pro. What software can I use to play these files back now?

(a boost would be appreciated if you can’t answer yourself)

Looking for some advice regarding options for the home media center.

I'm running a NAS that has Plex server happily running on it but I noticed when playing videos on end devices it transcodes often and the transcoding is slow on the NAS which seems to be a common issue.

I'm looking to offload that work. I was thinking of setting up a SFF/MiniITX PC or piece of hardware that does transcoding well and simply install the Plex app and target the Plex server for data. I have a spare GPU I can use already if necessary. I also saw there are devices like the NVIDIA shield. I was thinking for this device it would simply need some GPU w/NVENC or Intel CPU w/QuickSync. Am I missing any options?

If I do go with the SFF/MiniITX build I would need a remote. I was thinking maybe the FLIRC receiver and a legacy remote. Any better options for that?

Lastly does it make sense to skip the Plex server and mount the media directly on either the SFF or NVIDIA Shield, sync the data every so often, and then transcode locally off faster disks? If so is it easy to get a shell or OS-level access on the Shield?
