eggzlot Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Anyone have these issues? I am using them on a mix of Shields and FireTVs. Turn off auto updates on the hardware (Shield/Firetv)? There is that dialog box that asks you if you want to have to allow the connection or whatever on boot up - I always check that box so it should not have to ask me again. But it seems like every few weeks I am dealing with a device that is not responsive, a wife complaining, and then my troubleshooting shows the IRUSB is offline. Thoughts? Something screwy on my network settings? Just the life of dealing with the Android platform (I am an iOS guy otherwise)? rosenqui 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amr Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Humm, what is giving you the most issues Fire or Shield? I have it only on Xiaomi Mi Boxes and it’s fine, didn’t try yet on Fire TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 Shields now having issues. I am using these devices for a Netplay Video Storm system behind the TV, so moving to Roku wont help - sorry @msgreenf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I admit Roku integration is so solid, but I hate the GUI, really rubbish, also so stupid as no IPTV, I only use Android TV for XBMC nothing else ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4loso Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That’s very interesting. I have the IRUSB running on 2 Nvidia shields and haven’t had any issues apart from the mini apps not working since the last Nvidia shield update Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbell Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I have five Nvidia Shields (one 2019 Shield pro) all with IRUSBs, and I’ve had no issues. Lucky I guess.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcovach Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I never had this problem with an older FireTV but quite frequently with a FireTV stick. Switched to Roku shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4loso Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 You can’t launch apps anymore?Yeah I can’t load Netflix and Kodi. - I’m on Nvidia Shield FW - 8.0.2(32.5.205.105).- Control4- 3.1I just checked now and it seems if I’m on another source e.g Apple TV and press the Kodi button it takes me to Nvidia shield home screen. If I press Kodi again it launched into Kodi. So not sure what’s the problem here. Maybe a setting I need to change on Nvidia side of things?
