Mini Client and newest build on N Shield

[bigbill]

Has anyone else experienced UI issues with the Android Mini Client on the newest build of the 2017 NVIDIA Shield? The Shield updated about a month or so ago and not long afterward the Mini Client would start doing strange things after it was being used for a couple hours. Navigating the menu would do random moves when attempting to go up or down, sometimes taking 5-10 tries to get to the menu choice you originally wanted to press on. That will happen quite often. Another thing I have noticed, but started way before the latest update on the shield is the menu would become unreadable, to where you have to remember where a choice was to be able to press it. Is there some setting I could be using that would be screwing this up?

Thanks in advance for any help! Clients are getting harder to find for sagetv. The older hd200 and hd300's are getting a bit long in the tooth to watch any newer shows from the web. -Bill

don't have the Shield, but I continually have problems with the mini client on my Sony Android TV. some MKV's just show a blank screen no matter which player I use.

I've seen an issue like that on my Amazon FireTV that was resolved by disabling hardware decoders. In my case it was Mpeg2 and once I disabled the hardware decoders it would play back albeit not as smoothly as my ShieldTV does.

I've yet to find anything that my shield mini client won't playback. Guess I've been lucky.

Initially, the Mini Client worked pretty well on my Fire HD adapter, but lately, it’s been a mess - sluggish, jumbled characters on screen, lockup’s, etc. Not sure if it’s something Amazon did, but since nobody is maintaining Mini Client, it’s not looking good. And I can’t see buying a Shield JUST for this purpose...

Works great on the FireStick 4K. Also new Firetv Cube. I have it running GemStone UI no problems. I use EXOPLAYER in Settings.
