You need to set your library in kodi.Movies and tv shows will have a separate library in kodi and you need to set the path
Nvidia Shield Tv- Owners Thread!!
- Thread starter Immu
- Start date
i tried doing that, but when i go to the folder where the tv shows are it just shows blank, i am trying to rename all the folders and files and see if that works, will also add EMM and see as suggested by @msankadi

Not able to find EMM in add-ons in Kodi, is there another way to install it?

I am guessing you are doing something wrong here. Where have you stored the TV shows? Hard disk or trying to access via local network ?
On my HTPC, internal hdd

Ok when I used a PC I used plex. For kodi I have all my contents in an external HD and directly connect it to shield. This will be simple and fast
Will try this, am trying to watch ( re-watch a tv series)
Hi Google for ember media manager. It is a separate exe program that you need to install
A fair warning that it is no super user friendly with many options. It is open source
If you want something more refined you can go for tiny media manager which if I remember right became paid
Install it on my HTPC or shield?
You will need to run ember media manager as a program. I doubt it will be available on android so you will have to run it on your htpc.
Basically it will create folders and info files in oversimplified terms along with your media so that kodi can read and index it properly
One quick side track question here. From the online searches I could see the last release of the product was in 2019. Don't Nvidia refresh the product with new features. I was thinking to buy this. But, since it's 3 year from the last release, skeptical that if they will release any new hardware in near future.

Nvidia shield is already a powerful device for medial playback and streaming. Unless there is a new video format released that needs more hardware power. Or a new feature to do some of the enhanced video processing for HDR content etc…. And I highly doubt of any HW refresh due to current chips availability issue
Under advanced sound setting there is an option "Match content audio resolution" Which when enabled says 'Preserve audio bit depth and sampling rate over HDMI'. I think if that is what you mean.
Even apple's own devices (apart from iphone and ipad) don't do this properly. This feature makes the nvidia shield a better device than the ATV (which forces all audio at 48K). This is good news. I was looking for something that could play apple music lossless and bit-perfect.

Folks I have a Shield TV 2017 model. It has a random reboot issue (its fairly common and well documented in the official Nvidia forums). This is caused by a faulty power supply unit and I have ruled out any particular app or software issue causing this after extensive research. The reboot usually occurs after after 3-4 hours of extended watching and sometimes once in 2-3 days; hence the random prefix. Nvidia doesn't sell an after-market PSU (can you believe this) and the PSU has a proprietary pin in this day and age of USB 3. They however ship a free replacement but only to a US address! Since I bought my unit in the US, they did ship one for free to my niece in the US. Unfortunately, she doesn't look like coming to India any time soon. A courier option is quite expensive (upwards of USD 30) and possibly more expensive than the PSU itself. Has anyone faced a faulty power supply issue and if so, is there an after-market option to the power supply adapter? Others have suggested using laptop power adapters with the same ratings and then crimping the Nvidia pin to this but there's no guarantee from anyone that this has worked without a glitch.
