Searching for an Android TV Stick (not Box) - Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers

I am searching for an Android TV Stick (not a Box like the Fire TV or Apple TV) which is rooted (or can be rooted) so I can use my DualShock 4 controller wirelessly while using Moonlight. It should support Moonlight 1080p 60fps and the only needed power source should be the USB port from the TV. I tested the Fire TV Stick and didn't really like it because of Fire OS and no DualShock 4 support and poor performance while using Moonlight on 1080p 60fps. Anyone know about some devices which to fulfill my demands?
I bought a Windows PC Stick with Intel Atom Z3735F, 2GB RAM, Windows 10 but first it will need external power from a smartphone power supply (5V 2A) and second the Asus Stick I have will always crash and I cant even reinstall Windows 10 on it. What a piece of **** this is.

Power FireTV stick via TV?

Hi,
Got my FireTV stick yesterday,
Seems to power fine via the USB port of my Sony Bravia TV.
Even games play quite fluently.
Sometimes the menus are a bit sluggish compared to the regular FireTV, but I guess this is normal due to the relatively slow CPU.
Was wondering if it somehow could still be underpowered and if I would miss out on performance. Is there any way to tell if it is getting enough power?
Check the specs of your TV to see how many miliamps its USB ports have, as long as its equal or more to the requirements of the fire TV you should be ok... it is possible that it can run at lower amperage, but is not good for the hardware, and you should use a proper power source.
I got mine yesterday as well and ignored the advice to use the supplied power supply.
I just used the 1,0 Ah USB port of my Samsung TV. Seems ok, only a warning at start so far.
Without a separate power unit this little stick is really a hidden addon for the TV
It can be powered via just the usb and the tv?

Yeah works for me too, just powered thru the USB port of my Philips TV.
Work fine for usb power from tv as well.
Some old tv have low power usb port then give unstable performance. But with newer tv then it is fine

Xbox 360 wireless controller and hooking up to the TV

I am new to the tablet theme and have a new Samsung tab s. It plays android games really well. is it possible for me to use it as a console and hook it up to my TV and use a xbox 360 wireless controller on it to play android games? I don't see why it would be any different in the nvidia shield
It is and it is not different from the Nvidia Shield tablet.
One of the biggest differences is that the Shield has a HDMI . There are also tegra only games that will not work on any other processor without root and some work. The last difference is that nvidia made a console mode for the shield to make navigation and use easier using only a bluetooth controller.
With that said of you have a controller only game/emulator you like and either a micro usb dock with video out or a micro usb to video cable, then yes you can use your galaxy tab s as a console.
Basically the answer is yes it is possible but no it is not the same as a device/os designed to do it.
Hmm...after doing some investigation.... how would I plug in both a usb xbox 360 wireless adapter and a hdmi adpator to plug into the TV? Or is it only one or the other(tv versus controller)?
Personally I would recommend getting a bluetooth controller. There may be a way to use a usb based controller and video out at the same time but I do not know it if it exists.
You will also need one of these. A mhl - hdmi connector.

Ive got a generic 2.0 hub 4 ports working........pretty sure others work
Although you might wanna google search "shield tv usb 3.0 shielding" or something to that affect, i cant remember the exact details, but i read there may be some issues with 3.0 hubs because the shielding around the 3.0 ports on our shields, was not the best, or non existant, cant remember............issues about "interference"..............like i said, i dont know the exact details..........was waiting to look it up when i decided to finally think about buying a 3.0 hub...........and as im writting this, i think that may be now

I'm using an Anker USB 3.0 one perfectly fine with it. Haven't tried benchmarking speeds or anything but works fine with my xbox 360 wireless receiver, wired logitech gamepad controllers as well as a regular Logitech K400 receiver (but range does feel a bit weak, not sure if it's due to interference or lower power, but I feel like it's more interference as I had some issues without the hub). I usually use the other native usb port on the shield for charging the remote/controller. Might try a powered usb 3.0 hub later if I find I need to. But this one works just fine powered from the shield.
you didn't try to connect there f.e. 2 hdd and usb sticks?
I'm interested in the Shields behavior concerning multiple HDD's on a USB hub. I read in the past that the Shield TV did not support more than 2 ext HDD's through USB simultaneously. This is said to be a firmware limitation and rooting can solve that. I'm not rooting so curious as to whether that limitation has since been officially removed.
I'm looking to try out a Sabrent 4 port USB 3 hub. It's not powered. So how many HDD's can an unpowered HUB such as this one support?
If the hub won't serve my purpose then I''ll just use a couple of USB3 extension cables since my main need is easy access to USB device swapping. Getting to the back of the Shield is kind of a pain.
I use an unpowered usb 3 hub and it works fine. I have it hooked up to the cable used to charge the remote and controller, a wireless keyboard and a 128gb ssd in an external usb 3 enclosure. I am rooted so cant comment on the 2 hdd limitation.

Thx for the feedback. Nvidia will be adding a feature that may allow use of multiple ext HDD on the USB ports. Have to wait and see.
Yup

I finally got around to grabbing all my usb sticks and hdd's and a few devices and trying it out. I found that there is some sort of firmware limitation that allows only 2 usb storage (FDD + HDD) devices to show up. I'm not rooted yet and am still on stock ROM but may look to change that after we get marshmallow this month. Keep in mind though you can power an xbox 360 for windows wireless receiver, a logitech unifying receiver, even logitech wired gamepads along with 2 Storage drives (HDD or FDD) on a single usb port. I did try a 5400RPM usb 3.0 in NTFS drive along with a few flash drives in exFAT, NTFS, and FAT32 formats. The way I'm noticing it's behavior is you can have say 5 drives connected overall, say a 7200rpm on other main usb port, and then 5400rpm + 3 flash drives on unpowered usb hub but the Key is, the system will ONLY show you the last two plugged in. If one is removed, it should show another one (if not then you'll need to disconnect/connect) and they are all powered interestingly, even when not shown up.
Summary from my tests so far:
-Connect as many USB devices (controllers, keyboard mouse receivers, xbox 360 receivers, HDDs, FDDs) as you want through usb hubs, if you have more than two 2.5" drives I'd recommend a powered usb hub.
-All devices so far have lit up and power on as long as there's enough power
-The obvious Limitation so far, is software limits access to 2 most recently connected Storage USB Devices, this is despite being fully lit up and hard drives spinning. You can unmount them easily though in Android Settings -> Storage & Apps -> Unmount.
*This is reflected in both ES File Explorer and Android Settings
I'm going to talk about how I usually approach watching my media... so feel free to read
*I recommend to everyone to try and find alternatives to ease your lives. I'm a crazy tech enthusiast and even though I have soo many hard drives and flash drives from over the years, I've learned to simplify things and accommodate accordingly. For example PLEX is an amazing solution for watching videos over the network on this nvidia shield, and even though I do plan to eventually use Gigabit, wireless AC over 5Ghz is ridiculous on this thing and has no lag. In fact, even though I could connect my 6TB external hard drive to the unit directly, I still prefer the plex interface and ability to watch on my phone or tablet instead of my tv based on a number of factors. The other thing you could do if you don't like plex is simply use Windows network interface and Share 1 specific folder to your network that you can easily access on ES File Explorer. You can make it a little easier by assigning a specific computer in your house to 1 Local address, so the ip address never changes. For example: 192.168.1.2 could be assigned to your favorite computer, so then in ES File explorer you can save that SHARED folder as a favorite after scanning your network and then access it easily and wirelessly and not worry about flash drives etc..... Lastly don't forget about the awesome Casting abilities of the Nvidia Shield, so you can just cast your screen on your smartphone/tablet and if you have family photos on say Google Photos (released 6/2015 and highly recommended for everyone), you can cast them all on the big screen. Don't be like how I used to be and have literally over 10 drives and flash drives, each hard drive being like 500gb or 1TB and a bunch of scattered media on flash drives. Instead simplify your life and put all your media on 1 huge hard drive (ideally with RAID 1 security backup built in or offsite backup) and keep maybe one On The Go speedy flash drive, like Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0, for media you put temporarily to watch on a trip or something. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help, but that's a summary for novices.

A bit of an old bump/OT but do you stream 4k over wifi or is it just 1080p? Because my ShieldTV is hating 4k streaming on my 5ghz ac wifi and im not sure what's up.
I am streaming 4k on wifi without problems with only 60-80mbit wifi repeater capabilities (real download speed).

My bad for not seeing this until now, and actually perhaps it's a good thing I just saw this because I finally got to try out a true 4K movie over plex and compared it to locally on Nvidia Shield vs USB on 4K TV (Samsung SUHD). I'm gonna talk a little bit about HDR and 4k limitations so far and maybe adoptable storage experience.
Quick Background:
-Nvidia Shield 16gb with latest official 3.0 MM Update, not rooted. Adoptable Storage using 128gb Samsung Pro Plus MicroSDXC (90MB/s read and write).
-Samsung UN65JS8500 4K TV with HDR abilities and HDMI 2.0a
-Networking still currently over 5Ghz wireless ac to Netgear Nighthawk router and also to my Plex Server (with 300Mbps average wireless connection).
-Media samples of true 4K 10-bit encoded in the brilliant x265 HEVC @ 5.2Mbps (comparative to 10Mbps x264) , a 4K HDR sample from Life of Pi
~TV plays 4K 10-bit and HDR perfectly locally on USB 3.0 flash drive, I'll have issues getting subtitles to work with mkv on occasion because of Samsung's media player.
~Nvidia Shield plays 4K and 10-bit perfectly locally on VLC Player and MX Player from both adoptable storage and usb 3.0 drives, keep in mind that adoptable storage cannot be used or even seen on any computer (unless you plan on formatting it) because of its encryption, despite not having PIN or passcodes on SATV.
- HOWEVER, HDR would not work at all as I don't think the update included HDMI 2.0a (which HDR requires). Luckily Nvidia says it can be upgradeable in future with firmware.
As for streaming 4K over wifi, it works perfectly from Youtube but my big test today was for over the network from a pc with a 'native' 2160p movie rather than upscaled and I found the limitation to be the transcoding on my core i7 laptop. I got a warning at the start from Plex denoting that and afterwards it would slowly work but constantly buffer.
-I'm planning on implementing Gigabit wires to shield and tv and possibly back to my laptop but 4K transcoding is very demanding. Unfortunately on the Plex app on Android tv it doesn't give you the option to try direct play but I feel like that option might work to stream without transcoding. I'm going to try it again but from the tv (which has half the wireless speeds but at least the option to direct play from plex).
Really depends what source you're streaming 4K from. I also have 65Mbps internet connection with no issues and even delays when streaming from Youtube or Amazon Prime (on tv not Shield unfortunately).
Since this thread is supposed to be about the USB Hub I'll mention that today I noticed while using adoptable storage and inserting a USB Card reader with another microsdxc in it that the system didn't recognize it until restarting the unit. USB 3.0 drive though would show up instantly and luckily VLC player reads it very nicely and easily.

You're a testing champ boss! I hope you take one for the team and don't ever get a girlfriend or married. :fingers-crossed:
I have a crap load of scenarios to work out when I get home this weekend on my Pro...after I first enjoy a candle-light dinner with my wife and pass a couple of glasses of wine through her and to bed.
PS are you also using something like the SiliconDust HomerRunHD TV tuner for Live Channels or with Plex DVR?
@copticwalad
Is your adoptable storage insert via a USB hub?
Meaning
Shield TV > USB hub > adoptable storage.
My drive is formatted by STV already
I was thinking of adding a USB hub in-between it and the device.
Would it work?

Not yet but I'm planning on it in a few months whenever I get around to wiring cat6 and coax through my house. Hard to justify cost of strong antenna+homerun when all our family watches on OTA is the news and sometimes major sports like superbowl and nba finals etc.. That might change if rumored products of Antenna Directly to Shield USB Live Channels+DVR comes at good price.

I actually don't use my usb hub anymore, it was good to know it works but my adoptable storage is actually a 128GB Samsung Pro Plus microSDXC MB-MD128DA/AM with 95 Read/90 Write. It's been amazing for over 14 months and I can access it and the Internal Storage of the Shield even when it's in standby from my laptop as a Network drive, not needing to worry about speeds or power. We lucked out cause the 2017 Nvidia Shield 16gb versions don't have microsd card readers (500GB does).
To answer your question: If your drive is either a flash drive or usb powered 2.5" drive the hub should easily power it as long as you're not powering too many with usbpower alone. If it's a bigger 3.5" external hard drive then it will have power + usb and should work as well.
I have a question myself for anyone here. Has anyone used a 3.5" External Hard Drive with the Shield using Power+ USB 3.0 without usb hub. 24/7 with no issues with power or did you have to manually turn it on and off. In other words, does it go to standby power with the Shield while still powered externally? And also are you using it for local playback only or with plex server? I'm debating adding a wd red drive to the Shield for plex local playback instead of going with the costly route of a real NAS without the transcoding power and expandable storage.
Also in case anyone ever has an issue with a flash drive not being seen by the Nvidia Shield, remove ES File Explorer. It very awkwardly prevent my Shield (running Nougat) from seeing or opening a flash drive even in Nvidia's settings. I uninstalled it and it works perfectly now through MX Player. I prefer Solid Explorer as File Manager, even on Android tv, worth the cost.
So I bought a thermaltake external HDD dock for about $40. It's USB 3.0 and I'm running my Plex Server out of it. It's 6TB drive. It's self powered and does not sleep. I was hoping that the Shield would recognize both drives at the same time but that didn't not work. I'm not routed and don't know if after I root it will recognize both drives at the same time.

I'm glad I can give back a little to the community.
I hooked up a 6 terabyte external Western Digital hard drive which is powered on its own through an external power adapter. Next I hooked up another 2 terabyte external Seagate hard drive similarly powered externally. Since I am not as rich as I would like to be, they are both traditional 7200 RPM drives instead of SSD. They are both USB 3.0 and plugged into the internal USB ports of my Nvidia Shield Pro 2017.
My Nvidia Shield has no problem detecting both the drives and I use x-plore (https://goo.gl/UKuRRT) file manager to do operations between them.
Do larger Drive contains all my media for access my Plex and once again I have no problems accessing this media through Plex and playing it back locally or across the network in the house.
Recently I moved to 6 TB external drive into a USB 3.0 hub because I have to connect other devices to my Nvidia Shield Pro. This drive also contains all my Plex Media. I can confidently say that both these combinations of configurations for both the USB 3.0 drives work simultaneously and I'm able to move file to cross the drive and also use Plex against media stored on both of them.
got a 7 port usb hub and 7 Hard Drives Connected (8TB, 5TB, 3TB, 2TB, 750GB, 2 500GBs on one 2 Bay Enclosure) to the Shield using it and no issues on the local network or the Shield all files are accessible and blazing fast ) I recommend the
TP-Link UH720 for best performance.

I have a Shield TV 16GB 2017, rooted, and have a 4 port usb (non-powered) hub connected to the first usb port (next to hdmi port). On this hub I have a flash drive as adopted storage and a 8TB hdd as external storage.
My problem or annoyance is the hdd can't be seen when accessing from PC sometimes even when shield is awake although I can see adopted flash and browse it. I usually have to reboot to see it.
friend.evil you have 7 hdd's on a usb hub are they accessible all the time even when shield is asleep?
Do I need to move my hub to the 2nd usb port and put the adopted in the 1st port.
Thanks. Any help is appreciated.
Nvidia Shield w/ a USB 3.0 Hub and 6 USB Drives ?
Last post above was someone that had 7 drives working... will this work in 2019 as it prolly has a new OS ? My last box (chromePC) with kodi 15.X worked using 5 drives... I tried a Zidoo box and only 4 USB drives work so im thinking of getting the Nvidia box as Ive got 5 FULL 8TB drives and need to add a 6th ! but wanna make sure before I get a shield as its costly... thanks in advance

Question Would USB C to HDMI work on Moto G40 Fusion to display it on TV ?

Hi ,I'm about to buy Motorola G40 Fusion and was wondering would a USB C to HDMI work on it to display output to a TV ?
And if so yes then is it a smooth experience if i add a controller and play games latency wise from phone to TV ?
Thank

I think only devices with USB TYPE C 3.1 can do that, which comes only with only Samsung and one plus flagship
but you can stream pubg on your tv with screencast

Thanks ,that explains a lot
But on the plus side as well i found this thing called Non MHL to HDMI ,its a cable with built in processor that works just as a capture thing thus working as a middle man and enabling MHL in non MHL devices
By the looks of youtube videos ,the performence aint that bad either
For right now i went on the raspberry Pi 4 connected to my projector and act as a client using steam Link app to enable remote play streaming from my host gaming PC instead Phone connected to MHL to projector HDMI and remote gaming in my projector room
But nontheless i'm very intrigued at the Non MHL to HDMI concept an will give it a try someday out of curiosity
Thanks once again
