[Shield Android TV General] JohnHenryIron:
This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to get the windows adb drivers installed. I was trying to update drivers for "Shield Android TV" and get the message "the folder you specify doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 based systems"

I'm not coming up with any unknown devices or any devices with an exclamation point in device manager.
[Shield Android TV General] alwaysbless:
What is the benefit of this over just putting the apps onto a USB drive?
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
Download and have a play. Hopefully will answer your own question ;)

Its more than just an app sideloader from the comfort of your chair. It has many additional functions and will grow over time.

Currently to get you started:

Sideload apps directly from PC without having to transfer to USB.

Uninstall apps remotely from PC

Extract apk files remotely from PC

Take Screenshots and transfer to PC directly

Take Video and transfer to PC directly

Turn On or put device to Sleep from PC

Customise your Kodi

Backup and restore your Kodi settings

Virtual Keyboard and remote from PC

[Shield Android TV General] lartomar2002:
Do you have to use adb with this app or do you use it just to help sideload a apk via a usb cable to the NVS console tv?
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
You need the ADB USB Windows drivers installed on your PC if you want to connect via the cable.

Until NVidia decides to turn ADB over Network you will manually need to do this with a USB cable so you can run the app over your network without a USB cable attached.
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
Thanks for that. I added the generic Drivers in my app that work fine, but good to know they have their own.

Would be good to find a user guide somewhere how to download and install them on the PC.... I've been asked a few times but can't find the time... I will try and do a nice user giude when I can.
[Shield Android TV General] lartomar2002:
That would be very nice and helpful.

cant connect

I keep getting error device not found but it says its connected over ip
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
Hi its currently only a guide on which box your requested to connect to... ADB is limited on what it reports back when it connects. I am working on a solution.

If you click on the connected status at the bottom it will popup a box with the current status

or

If you select "Normal debug mode" in settings then click "Connect via IP" from "File" menu. A cmd window will open and report of any issues if not connected.
[Shield Android TV General] bb12489:
This looks like an awesome tool for the Shield Tv. I'll definitely check it out once my shield arrives later today. I see you have a Kodi configuration section in the tool, and I was wondering if it would be possible to add this feature in to change the Kodi data directory. I can see this being very useful for owners of the 16GB model.

Also for reference they are discussing this is the Kodi forum here
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
I will check it out thanks for the feedback ;)

Hi [MENTION=231125]imtiajmeah[/MENTION] great work on the app, I'm just wondering if a rooting feature is in the works for this program?

I don't mean to be pushy or anything. I only ask because I've been struggling to root the device manually and I'm looking for alternative methods.

Thanks
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
Yeah I will be adding Root.

I've added the 1-Click to fastboot menu and will develop it further in time.

I personally have no need for root as the box is running sweet... but considering doing it sooner than later as the lack of ADB over network is annoying me.
[Shield Android TV General] BenjiHansell:
great news thanks, I'll keep an eye on the thread

Hi,

What do I need to do to connect ot my shield via USB? The microUSB cable? Or do I need something with an OTG connector?

Thanks!

James
[Shield Android TV General] JohnHenryIron:
You can use the microUSB that came with your controller. Just reverse it, with the USB going into your pc
[Shield Android TV General] lartomar2002:
In one of the boxes with the drop down list is there one for rooting?
[Shield Android TV General] digweed4me:
Yes man we need root and TWRP BADLY on this app
[Shield Android TV General] brando56894:
Looks pretty awesome, I'll give it a try.
[Shield Android TV General] digweed4me:
Didn't see any root feature on the pull down menu??
[Shield Android TV General] mutelight:
Awesome app, set it up over the weekend and it worked great, thank you! :cool:

(Just FYI I used it on Windows 10 so it is confirmed working there too.)
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
Thanks for the feedback will update the compatibility list ;)
[Shield Android TV General] digweed4me:
Are you adding root and TWRP soon?
[Shield Android TV General] JohnHenryIron:
Just so the dev doesn't have to repeat himself, I'll repeat him for you:
[Shield Android TV General] xhance:
Can this install apps to the microSD card? I want to get the 16GB version and toss in a 64GB microsd.

Would prefer to not get a mechanical drive unless it's an external.
[Shield Android TV General] digweed4me:
I have the 16gb and 64 high speed micro SD if you set it up to move the app shield TV will automatically move your apps and games to micro SD card. I have all my games on micro SD card
[Shield Android TV General] baileyjr:
I'm finding the auto move of apps doesn't work reliably so I move them manually, but in answer to the original question yes you can move them.
[Shield Android TV General] lartomar2002:
I must have missed it, where do I go to setup the auto move to sd card?
[Shield Android TV General] baileyjr:
Settings-Storage and click on your SD card opens up some options I believe. It only moves the app and obb data though and not very reliably. I rooted my Sheild TV today and an using foldermount instead now.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

also with ADB over network will there be any need with connecting the cable to do the commands? thats what im confused about.

Edit: nm just read that ADB wont work in the bootloader

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

for that to work wont you need to unlock the boot loader first? or is it in anyway possible to unlock the bootloader with your tool cause I have a desktop and its far away from my 60' tv but I can still use my friends laptop but just wondering :)
[Shield Android TV General] sandog12:
Should we be setting it up to move everything to the SD card on the 16gb
[Shield Android TV General] sandog12:
Great tool to use but one thing that I couldn't find was a user guide or anything on how to use it. I had to do a lot of trial and error and time .

So If some knows of one you could be the next guys hero. Thanks to mtiajmeah for this great tool and I will be making a donation to show him he makes a difference in nvidia shield tv world....
[Shield Android TV General] Munkee915:
I was able to get this up and running. Very cool. If I installed Kodi through the play store the tweaks should still work right? and is there any explanation as to what the different version do for the buffering config?

Thanks for this--it has so much potential and this helps me out a ton!
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
Thanks for your feedback... very much appreciated ;) I do intend to do a userguide going forward. Just cant seem to find the time at the moment.

Did you install nvidia drivers and allowed the computer to control the shield?
[Shield Android TV General] chrootz:
See [MENTION=6954171]tailslol[/MENTION] comment. You need nvidia drivers and accept allowed to your computer to access the control the shield.

FIRST.... You must use Nvidia Shield's USB cable access the shield because it will trigger asking you accept/deny to allow control the shield.

SECOND. Then you can able access control the shield via network once the FIRST procedure accept to allow your computer access the control shield by using Nvidia Shield USB cable (laptop's usb port <--> USB <--cable--> Micro usb <--> Nvidia Shield's Micro USB port.)

Would be good to ask yr virus checker company as to why it's triggering and to fix the error. Also will put your mind at ease if they indeed identify any viruses.

Thanks bro. works grate.
[Shield Android TV General] Ireul:
Any chance you would be interested in sharing the source code? I could see this app getting adapted to the Nexus Player, for example.

Great work, cheers!
[Shield Android TV General] imtiajmeah:
Thanks buddy for your feedback... If anyone would like to donate me a unit I would be happy to convert the app to the unit. Infact I even asked google but I dont think it got to the right people as I didn't get any reply.
[Shield Android TV General] Ireul:
Google doesn't want to make it easy to do this stuff. For one, it undermines Google Play. They want most to use apps on Google Play, not make it easier to bypass. For two, they want people who are savvy to learn adb and fastboot. That's the downside of Google... they always go for the 80/20.

If you're in the informed 20, they want you to do it the most painful way possible... so you learn how to build AOSP and compile apps. They want to force you to become an engineer. I'm not kidding.

is the dev around to help?
[Shield Android TV General] robu2:
It didn't work for me too.

But after I enabled developer options in shield:

Open Settings> About> Software Information> More.

Then tap “Build number” seven times to enable Developer options. ...

Go back to Settings menu and now you'll be able to see “Developer options” there.

Tap it and turn on USB Debugging from the menu on the next screen.

Tap to turn on Network debugging.

On first connection You have to accept it on Shield (trust this connection)

It's working fine now
[Shield Android TV General] xd4d3v:
OK.

I found the problem.

adb doesn't want to authenticate over network, until you do it first via usb and accept.

so first usb then network

I resolved the WiFi auth issue by installing ADB WiFi - Reborn.

Because of XDA silly external URL limitation for newbies like me, I can't post URL's to the app, but you may search for ADB Wireless Device Unauthorized in google and look to a specific Stack Overflow question that states

In that question, look for the answer that states
[Shield Android TV General] tankgo:
The solution is u need turn on debugging on Network debugging / USB Debugging

How to enabled developer options in shield:

1. Open Settings> About > Build (tap 7 times)

2. Go back to Settings menu and now you'll be able to see 'Developer options' there (beside 'Accessibility')

3. Go to Debugging > and turn on Network debugging and/ USB Debugging from the menu on the next screen.

Enjoy guys.. Problem solved.
