Agave for Nvidia Shield TV

It would be SO COOL to have Agave for Nvidia Shield TV, that way users of Android TV could control their house from their TV!

 

Please, would this be possible?

What? Why? Plus why not just sideload the APK right now? I have a shield and love it but I dont think an app is time spent. As it is now there are so many other things to add to the app that are more important.

The Nvidia Shield TV is the most popular Android on all of the living rooms all over USA.

 

I think it's a definitive must.

I have 6 AndroidTV devices. None are the Nvidia Shield. I know about 10 others with AndroidTV devices. None have this device either.

 

It's not very popular by my survey.

Well, if we are asking, how about the ever popular Amazon Fire. I have 6 of them.

 

Short and to the point.

So in all seriousness most people I know get the Amazon Echo and for the Apple crowd ATV. I'm not sure NVidia is the top Android TV in households. Its geared more towards gamers since its a very powerful box and you can stream games from a local PC to it. I have one and its a great device, zero complaints. Gaming on other boxes and some 1080p content does studded. However most people buy Amazon Fire TV as they don't game, and streaming services work fine.

How much power does it need? It streams video and runs apps. My phone does that.

Not when it comes to 4k. I have 3 Android TVs and one is Nvidia Shield. NETFLIX streams its 4K shows only on the Shield.. The others suffer at times to play local 4K..

 

NETFLIX only streams in 4K to "approved" devices, which are not that many.. Also at the end of the day Nvidia Shield is a powerful Android Gaming console - hence the extra power it needs/has.

 

Lastly but important - It can actively decode H.265 and a lot other devices have to do it with softerware which not always works due to CPU power..

 

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks for the information. It sounds like a nice device even though I don't play games.

To be honest I don't either :) But the 4K is a beauty! :) oh and the H. 265 is important cos need to shrink my 12TB media farm down to 8TB :)

Also it has a nice feature of being able to be Plex server because of its power! Which is great when traveling. If your into that sort of thing.

So IF you have a video collection say on a NAS you can transcode and stream it to another device. My last trip I was able to hookup my iPhone to the TV and watch my stuff.

 

plex.tv (and no you dont need to subscribe to the Plexpass)

Interesting. I like that.
