Sounds keeps shutting off on Nvidia Shield...

I have an issue with my Nvidia Shield audio. Whenever my shield goes into sleep mode, or I pause my show for a brief period of time, the video will play but the audio will not be audible until I rewind the show or restart the app. I am having to do this each time. Is there a setting that I am missing or something I am doing wrong? I tried updating it but it says that it is up to date.

Setup: I have an LG tv that has a Samsung sound bar connected to it via fiber optic. All the HDMI cables are routed to the tv.

Alternative YouTube clients?

SmartTubeNext seems to be broken almost every other day, it's getting extremely frustrating.

Smart Youtube TV is just normal YouTube these days, no real features apart from adblock. I already have premium so that's completely useless to me.

I'm looking for a client with sponsorblock + speed controls. Nothing else is really needed.

Anyone have any ideas?

After using the Onn. 4k I blame Google's too-busy interface for my poor Performance on the CCwGTV

Right off the bat: as a long time Shield user I actually do like the new interface but I do think with all the extra tabs you get with the CCwGTV that it's causing it to slow down. It feels like every time i turn on the CCwGTV there is a good 30 seconds before it's useable. I'm guessing during this time it's refreshing all my recommendations. Others seem to have the same issue.

After getting the update to the new interface on my Shield i notice no such behavior but chalk that up to the Shield being more powerful.

I picked up two Onn. 4K boxes for my in-laws place and have been playing around with them. Honestly from a interface standpoint it's just as snappy as my Shield.

This does give me hope that Google can fix the CCwGTV performance with a software update.

SmartTubeNext broken again?

I was using it a couple hours ago without issues but now every video i try is just a black screen. Can't select quality, can't press play there's just no video at all. The suggestions and thumbnails and all that work fine, just not the videos themselves.

I tried rebooting the tv but no luck. The official YouTube app is working fine. App is the latest version (11.46) and was working great but maybe google messed with something again?

How can I change which Freeview Play channels are displayed on my Home menu?

I'm in the UK, and would like my Android TV home menu to display HD channels (e.g. 101 BBC One HD, 102 BBC Two HD, 103 ITV HD etc.). How can I swap these channels?

Right now it displays the SD channels so clicking the links on the home screen is pointless as I'll have to type in the channel number anyway to actually go to the HD version.

I have a Philips Ambilight 70pus9005/12 70"

PIA app log in issue on Shield Android TV

Hi

I have been auto logged out of the PIA app on my shield Android TV and now having difficulty logging back in.

I have the latest version of the PIA app installed (3.11.4). When I press the ‘log in’ button the app does not perform any action. Rather it freezes causing me to force close the app. The ‘subscribe now’ button works perfectly which prompts me to buy a subscription through google play store (I don’t need this option as I already have a active subscription)

I can successfully log in to my iOS mobile app and widows desktop app. Just having difficulty logging in to the Android app on Shield TV.

Any help or advice is most welcome.

On CCWGTV, why isn't Paramount Plus an option when adding their original shows to the Watchlist?

I know you can't add stuff like Netflix Originals, but I haven't found any news about Paramount. When I try to add Picard or Discovery, the only option I get is Amazon Prime. And I also wonder becasue CBS All Access and now Paramount was one of the original streaming options when I set up my Google Home Hub Max, and I was already signed in to it when I set up the CCWGTV.
