I have problems with network storage configuration.
Nvidia recognizes the Disktation of Synalogyc.
But when they put the user and the password, it shows an error and the configuration is closed.
The nas smb protocol is activated.
The configuration of my network is:
Nvidia Shied Tv 16g
Asus RT-AC87U
Synologyc Nas 1315+
Thanks for your help
AFIK Android TV support only SMB1, set the proper setting in Synology config.
You can use NFS for your network shares.
Use Kodi to playback your media, it has his own network shares supports and don't rely on the ****y Plex network support forced into Shield TV firmware.
By nfs the kody works perfectly
Hello, thanks for your help.
By nfs the kody works perfectly.
But for smb and the plex I do not make it work.
I can not understand that nobody knows the proper configuration. When the Nvidia Shield Tv is a distributor of Plex Server and sold it with that option. I had acquired it for that reason. And not making it work is frustrating.
I can not understand how nobody has
found a solution to this problem neither by nvidia or by plex
I would not insist so much if it was not important to me.
regards
Companies "solutions":
- Plex say it's Nvidia fault
- Nvidia say it's Plex fault
- In case these "solutions" fail they say it's user fault
Meanwhile the important question remains:
Why do you need Plex?
There are better alternatives like Emby that you can install in your Synology (server part addon) and use Emby for Kodi (client part) on Kodi running in your Shield TV as a bonus you can add Live TV/PVR support (TV tuners) too because Emby has it (and Synology if i remember correctly).
Emby will work on phones, tablets and PC's too, LAN and WAN.
Hello
That's what happens to me that Plex and -Nvidia go on saying why it happens.
There must be a secure configuration problem
and they have to know why it is.
I wanted to use the Plex I have it congured in several devices.
and now I do not know why it fails.

I am new to Android & would really like to us my A7 to access both online hosted Streaming Video (movies & TV shows) as well as host my DVDs on my internal network.
I had hoped to use Netflix but research on the web indicates that isn't a go on Android without newer, possibly embedded hardward based, DRM solutions. I did see a post about Amazon and RockPlayer but not really much else to go on.
Can people reply and indicate what are the best Streaming Video sites (& client being used to access those sites) for the A7? If you need to use one for movies & one for TV shows please list multiple...
Can people also reply with more insight on how they are hosting & consuming their own DVD collections? Specifically I would like to know:
What did they use to rip their DVDs?
Where do they host them (off a PC? a NAS?, etc)?
What client do they use on the Android A7 to access them?
What protocol (NFS?,CIFS?,SFTP?,etc) does the A7 use to access their DVDs?
For reference I have multiple options available to me at home inclucing RedHat Enterprise Linux & a few other flavors, Win 7, Win XP, and a central NAS device.
tv shows
for tv shows I like (tv shows stream) from the market
Playon seems to work well for me and it will let you stream Netflix and other sites kinda expensive 5amonth or 80 for a lifetime.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
When I get back from Spring Break I want to try Playon. I don't like the idea of another subscription but it seems really flexible. It might also allow me to watch Hulu through my bluray player (which stopped supporting it) so that is a big plus... Being able to centralize all of that to a central computer and shoot it to my TV, laptop, and Android A7 would be great.
The Netflix.apk is available as beta for Android. I installed on my A7 and can manage my account, queue and search. When I launch a live stream of instant movies it says can not connect to Netflix servers please try again.
My research is that they won't allow netflix to natively run on Android without some Digital Rights Management (DRM) capabilities (currently too open) built into. Some Android device makers may be releasing some newer models that allow for this and the native netflix should work for them but maybe never for us if it is a hardware based implementation...
That being said, the Netflix over playon seems to be working OK for me as I went ahead and set it up before traveling for Spring Break... Both Netfilx & hulu worked fine on my home LAN and was working OK on my hotel WIFI for a few hours but isn't for some reason right now.
I need to replace my home router so that I can take the current router with me as it turns my 3g/4g USB device into a personal portable WiFi (kinda like a geeky MIFI). Currently that router uses both my DSL & USB cellular data card together at home and I didn't have time to do that before I left and if I took it with me my home would have been down and I wouldn't be able to serve playon from home while traveling...
Tv.com also works well on these devices

I use to run plex connect on Apple tv 3 awhile back and it was great except you needed a static ip and when my Mac lost network connection nothing would work on the Apple tv.
But running plex on fire tv would be useful for devices that don't have kodi.
there are 2 potential issues
1. I have no idea how to automate the script on ran on Mac on my aftv
2. I updated ATV3 to an ios 8 equivalent and I'm not sure plex connect still works. (There was a trick that got Apple trailers to launch plex)
Personally, that's the only benefit I see in plex. It was my goto before xbmc but I just stopped using it.
Really more of a commentary than a question. But if anyone can tell me how I might use this for plex connect please chime in. It was actually pretty cool when I ran it on atv. Or any other benefit I might be missing...
I have spent about 3 weeks with my Fire TV now and have scoured the internet for a solution but have had no luck thus far. Out of all my research thought this forum seem to have the most relevant answers, thus why I am posting here and hopefully somebody will be able to assist before I get rid of it.
First I can stream movies and television shows on Netflix and XBMC with no problems, running Kodi 14.1.
When I try and stream a movie or television show from my Windows server I get a very annoying stutter/jitter when both wired and wireless.
This happens with 720p or 1080p. I do not get any dropped or skipped frames while running codecinfo.
I have changed the video acceleration and playback settings numerous times with no luck. ie. hardware, software video acceleration, libstagefright, mediacodec etc. messed with audio and several other things that I found suggested on the internet.
Now prior to this I ran everything wireless over a WDTV with no issues at all, video nive and smooth. Should I just give up on the Fire TV and go back to the WDTV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I had similar issues. Did you try SPMC instead of Kodi? Also, you might want to try using a advancedsetings.xml file to correctly set the caching and read-ahead.
EDIT: Here's mine for Kodi 14.1:
Code:
<!-- tuxen -->
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<curlclienttimeout>45</curlclienttimeout>
<cachemembuffersize>104857600</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>10</readbufferfactor>
</network>
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>0</nofliptimeout>
</gui>
<videoscanner>
<ignoreerrors>true</ignoreerrors>

How are the videos shared from your Windows server? What protocol are you using?
Have you tried a different protocol? I use SMB from my Win7 machine to FireTV and it's always worked well.

I had some issues with stuttering as well. I changed my router and the new one did not support Samba, so I switched to NFS and things got better. I still occasionally get a buffering break now, but I can't be sure if it was the new router or NFS. Everything I've read is that NFS is much faster than Samba.
Thank you all for your answers.
Sizzlechest; as for the advancedsetings.xml I did set that with other setting I found on the internet, I will give yours a try. Can someone tell me if I can edit my existing advancedsettings.xml and if so how? or do I just create a new one and push it to my Fire TV
As for what protocol I'm using on my windows server I'm not sure. I am accessing it via samba share on my fire tv, I couldn't seem to find the server using NFS, but will try it again.
It's a Windows Homer Server with Power Pack 3 2009
on an Acer Aspire Easystore.
I've read that SPMC is better on the Fire TV then KODI and have planned to try it, I just need to find some install instructions for it on the Fire TV, I have some computer background but am fairly new to the XBMC scene.

There won't be an advancedsettings.xml file on a regular install. It has to be added.
Ok here is another strange one.
I brought the fire tv to my basement and hooked it up to me Epson Power Lite Home Cinema. I do not have a wired connection here so I had to run it wireless. Well it played everything perfectly!
What I was playing on before was a Sony KDL EX-500, could my TV be the problem?
This makes no sense to me, it's it something to do with the refresh rate of the tv, or a possible setting in the tv?
Ok I solved the problem .....My Sony TV has a feature called Cinemotion. I had played with the Motionflow both on and off and that didn't help the problem. Turns out Cinemotion was on and this is what was causing the stutter with XBMC. It had nothing to do with Fire TV and XBMC like I had thought and spent the last week blaming....thanks again for your help.

im buying a qnap nas which has an ir sensor
i know the fire tv remote works off bluetooth, is there a way of making the fire tv remote work with the qnap nas which i will be running kodi etc
thanks
Why using a remote for the NAS when you´re running KODI on the aTV? KODI could access all NAS files via UPnP/DLNA.

Why offer alternative instead of answer question?

if the nas has no bluetooth, i think there is no way to use it to control the nas.
and without more infos about the nas (model, maybe link to website) how we should help you? we know you have a nas and a aftv remote and now?
ig you provide more infos, maybe there are more people that can give you some hinds or help you.
but i tink without bluetooth on the nas, there is no was and even with bluetooth i dont know if its so easy to get it connectet or work

Where is your alternative...?
My alternative is as I said using UPnP playback within KODI where you can still use the regular aTV remote since it is fully supported by KODI. So you don´t need to start the playback directly at the NAS since it is fully controlled remotely via UPnP protocol.

Let him decide on his own which comments are helpful for him.... Oh, and you could still answer yourself to the question instead of giving your typical helpfull comments which are not based on the topic....
yeh sorry i am moving away from amazon tv, but have the remote which i quite like.
the qnap ts-253 has direct kodi support and will be on the tv via hdmi... just controlling around the 'os' on the qnap.. i think it has an ir sensor and people are using measy remotes etc
Maybe it will work if you have a bluetooth usbdongle for the nas but i dont know if this will work or if the nas supports bluetooth dongles.
as i sayed without bluetooth on the nas you not able to use the remote.
alternative you can use a smartphone/tablet with kodi remote app to control the nas via wifi.
Even with a supported USB bluetooth dongle you may probably have to rework the keymapping of KODI. I don´t know if this is possible with the embedded QNAP KODI or if you have access to the keymap.xml on the NAS. But interesting that QNAP is now embedding KODI, didn´t see this as official feature in NAS devices until now.
After reading a few links at the QNAP forums to see what people with similar requests found out, it was revealed that any generic BT dongle requiring drivers and a software pairing interface would not work. Dongles already paired with devices from a factory that plug in and interface like a HID keyboard and mouse work fine.
Someone sarcastically mentioned that you could wipe it and install Debian for better driver / software support ("Debian on QNAP forum" - requires login).
As you've already found out, there is a built-in IR port and people have used a variety of remotes and Logitech Harmonies to control their systems, in addition to the QNAP supported one.
Good day,
I have a TV with a USB port, can I run kodi on a fire TV stick and pull media off of the USB stick connected to the TV directly?
Sorry, searching for this in the wiki was a nightmare
Probably not, unless your TV creates some kind of media server out of the USB storage. I have no idea whether any TV does that, but if you provide the TV model, you might get a different response from someone else.
TVs are display device, they don't usually have video output, not by USB anyway.
As Claude Koch already mentioned the TV must run as media server, which is not a standard feature of most TVs. Check if your TV does support "UPnP" or "DLNA" distribution as server. It is important that those protocols are supported as server since most TVs which do support DLNA/UPnP work only as client! KODI could then access the served content via UPnP source setting in the Video or Audio tab. A direct connection to the USB stick via file explorer is not possible.
