Hi,
I just got my transformer, and am loving it. However, desperately missing the Splashtop streaming experience that so many people are raving about. Please help.
Whenever I try connecting, it says "Connect failed"
I have already enabled Splashtop Windows client in my Windows Firewall.
Also, I created a Splashtop rule (as mentioned on their site) to allow ports 6783-6785.
Have tried to seek help on their site, and in desperation turning to experts on XDA. Please help resolve this. In addition to the above, I am running a McAfee Antivirus that is enabled by the company admin, so I cant shut that...but I suppose that should be ok. Please please help...
Before 3.1, I had no issues. After, i'm having some issues sometimes too. I have to click it 2-4 times before it connects.
Don't know what happened. Nothing changed on my pc end. Wondering if it's a TF thing.
Does it work while on the local network? If so then its a port forwarding issue in your router or youre using the wrong address. If it doesnt work locally it is an issue w your splashtop server setup or windows firewall.

If via lan (inside your nerwork) u don't need to port forwarding. All u need to use is the ip address of that machine. Are u having issues inside or outside your network? I noticed on mines, when I get connect failed I need to stop splashtop client and then start it again. Here a weird issue Im having, if there was a session of rd (windows) on my server then after that I will always get failed error with splashtop. I need to either reboot that machine or use logmein to restart the software on the computer. For me, there an issues with splashtop and windows 7 rd.
It doesn't work for me within my home network. Is there a way to try and narrow down the problem, or test it differently?

Try downloading the free version in the market: https://market.android.com/search?q=splashtop&so=1&c=apps
If it works, you may have a problem with the Asus-installed version. If it doesn't work, it could be the "server" portion

Just checked out the free verison and the highest resolution is 1024× 768 which look like crap on the Tf. Unless the paid verison has a native resolution for the TF, I going to stick with the splashtop that come with the Tf
There's a bug with splashtop I think. I can't connect to my mac mini unless the monitor is on or plugged in. Maybe you should try that.

I'm pretty sure the answer is right here:
"In addition to the above, I am running a McAfee Antivirus that is enabled by the company admin"
You might want to chat with the company admin. If it's a work computer, 99.9999% of all admins will lock down ports to their IT Assets and there's not a darn thing you can do except get them to open it (small company) or get fired for trying to hack their network (large company).
If it's a work laptop maybe it might be on your side and something you can change but the vast majority of time the IT folks are going to close down company resources to avoid folks being able to do exactly what you are trying to do.
The splashtop desktop portion said there was an update so I installed it but now it only keeps me connected for a few seconds then it drops out. It also doesn't let me interact with what I'm seeing on screen. Anyone else run across this?
I have tried about everything I can think of to get Splashtop to work form outside ny home network:
Disabled firewall in Trend AV
Allowed Ports 6783-6785 in Trend
Turned off windows FW and allowed ports (three entries)
Turned off FW for UV modem
Allowed Ports in router (Lynksys)
And even tried disabling FW in router.
Thus at some point, all FW's were off, verified ip address (starts with 99, so correct one), used ipconfig to find IP of my computer too...
Whew... Any thoughts? Logmein works like S***, so I don't think I'll go there until they update it (or is the app better?)
Thanks!
I'm currently traveling in Morocco for work from the USA and I'm staying in a Novotel hotel.
The wireless in the lobby gives me this address -
http://81.192.155.178/MLCBB/ui/main.aspx?IsScrolling=no
but nothing happens... I tried the default browser and Dolphin and still nothing
my android phone works perfect and the ipads work
So far this is the first time that my tablet has let me down..
I am running Android Revolution Hd 2.2.1
Any suggestions?
I am also running adblock - I disabled it and restarted it but still nothing.. My phone has adblock and it works fine on the network.
I was just In vegas and I was able to access the hotel website (your talking about the thing that redirects you to"log in"right) if I remember correctly though, I had to use opera. I also stay at hotels once every few weeks for business and never have had issue to date.
Good luck
Sent from my Infuse... Love it!
Many hotel networks redirect you to their internal website to log in. Some browsers are not compatible with this system. Try Opera.
As an IT manager at a hotel that uses the same kind of authentication-ticketing system i must report that i came accross with similar problems with ipads and android 3 tablets.
The solution that i figured out (until the next update of ticketing system) is to manualy add mac addresses to permanent acces to our hotel network.
If your hotel has an IT dept ask them to add you too
Most of the workarounds involve a VPN service to access Netflix from outside of the USA with those disadvantages; difficult setups, limited bandwidths.
UnoTelly is a $5 per month DNS redirection service that claims to enable customers outside of the USA to watch Netflix streaming, Hulu, listen to Pandora, and more by redirect your local DNS to their global DNS without slowing your internet connection and streaming speed.

I did and I signed up. I successfully used it to access BBC in the UK and HULU and PBS and other stations in the US. No slow down in bandwidth. Well worth the money.

Works great for me too. I'm from Poland. Now i can listen Spotify and Pandora without any problems with on EVERY device - phone, tablet, wii.
Only what it takes is setting DNS number.

This is working great for me too. I've got an RK3066 TV stick set up with the Netflix app and this massively increases the available library. Very simple to set up just by changing DNS and the experience is pretty seamless.
I've been using Unotelly for about a year now. I setup the DNS settings into our router so that all our devices on our network goes through the Unotelly DNS. It works great.

Netflix isn't available outside of the USA? Worked OK in Costa Rica. I was able to use it both on my unlocked 3G Pantech Burst, with a local Kolbi prepaid SIM as well as using my tablet connected to a wifi router that was had a 3G USB stick. My son watched his shows almost daily while we were on vacation a week ago.
Just a heads up as I am an ex pat I was struggling to install iplayer etc even with a smart dns setting,
I purchased a vpn from vpn unlimited they were, maybe still offering.
"OH still available for 7 days from the post date $19 3 years VPN http://goo.gl/st407o " well less of that.
I am Unrooted so No VPN possible, Well if you are desperate I installed the vpn on my PC and used a great free app
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
Set up a WiFi hotspot which shared the country selectable VPN. Shown above,, connected the firetv and guess what all was fine, I even measured 7mbs download speed (on pc) and video played fine on firetv
After all of that I found out my appstore was registered to the USA so that was one of the problems soon changed that in devices and settings on amazon.com, carried on and installed all the UK free apps I desired.
TV catchup is working on my PC so I am off to try the app on my firetv
The only requirement to watch out for is the black listeded ip adresses for updates may not be blocked yet, I am investigating. it should be possible as it uses open vpn as a core.
Enjoy
UPDATE Tvcatchup works fine abroad , just get the apk off aptoide
Another solution also is to setup a VPN Wifi Router in your house using a Raspberry PI.
I did that and I'm very happy.
I still need some tweaking but getting there.
Next step will be to build an iPhone application that can control it (restart, change country,...)
Let me know if you want a procedure, I can send you the one I follow. I'm also planning to do one myself with some changes.
The only thing is that you will need a VPN provider that is compatible with OpenVPN.
I got a ddwrt router costing me £10. Has VPN and smartdns built in. Works brilliantly.
Hi nufclad,can you tell me which router you are using,ive been recently looking into trying this myself
Thanks
Hi Si,
Sure, its the DIR-615.. I think most revisions now work too . Mines rivision d4.
Pick them up really cheaply. I got mine on Gumtree brand new boxed. But eBay its between £8-£15.
Really can't fault it.
Thanks nufclad,il keep an eye out
Every night the Shield will lose its connection to the SMB shares that my home server is feeding media content to my Shield/Plex Server. I've used these same SMB shares on Kodi(XBMC) for years. They work, I verify that they are still working after Shield/Plex loses connectivity to them with other devices; all access the shares without issue.
A reboot will instantly reconnect the shield to the SMB shares without any configuration changes, only to be lost again the next day.
Any/all help greatly appreciated.
Create an account on geforce forums, send feedback from the shield's seetings, including your geforce forum nickname on it, and create a thread there to report this problem. This is probably a bug with the nvidia's smb client application specifically.
I've been working with an Nvidia rep via their nvidia.custhelp.com So far the rep has been pretty useless:
"This could be an issue related to the network configuration." Umm yeah, 13 other devices wired and wifi working flawlessly
"Unplug all the cables and keep the SHIELD ATV off for good 2-3 minutes. Plug the Power cable, Ethernet cable and the HDMI cable. See if the issue persists." I realize rep has a SOP checklist to go through... But it just exacerbates my frustration!
I'm considering just finding a way to auto-reboot nightly until a real fix has been released. That or just transfer my media to a large USB HDD, keep a mirror on server which will be an extra backup I guess.
I finally got another response from them. They re-asked me the same exact questions... So glad I asked for their assistance.
Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem.
No, I did not. Since the last update it happens less frequently, but it does still happen.
I'm building a new home server that I will be transferring my Plex server to once completed.
Hi there, I had the same problem with my Nvidia Shield TV, SMB didn't work propperly.
The solution that worked for me was:
In Windows I created a new local account. Then I shared the folders I wanted to share withe the new account. After that SMB (Samba) was working fine on the Shield (I had to enter the accountname and password of the new account in Kodi).
I have this problem as well with Synology NAS. Anyone else using Synology?
I have the same probleme but i find the answer. disconnect your server on remote access and never push claim server. My plex on my shield reconnect automatic.
I had similar issues and what helped for the last week (fingers crossed still) was (on my router):
- Wifi "Group Key Rotation Interval" set to 28800 (8 hours). Not sure if this is the main solution.
- "Force as Master Browser": Yes, this makes my router the netbios master browser (maintains list of network names), this might be the actual solution.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I have the exact same issue.
Plex on my Shield 2017 Pro will lose the connection it seems to my Synology NAS after 12-16 hours it seems.
Since I also have an ASUS with Merlin firmware, I was curious if your fix helped?
Hi everybody, I have a similar problem with my new nvidia shield tv pro (2017).
I successfully connect to my Synology NAS (DS214play) media share and get all my movies in PMS library. But after reboot the Shield, the SMB share is gone!
I can't play any movie, before I manually reconnect to NAS.
Furthermore while plex can't play any movie (it says that the files are not available) other applications like KODI or Network Browser work perfectly, ie they are able to see the folder in to the NAS.
Any news!!!!

Recently I requested assistance to NVIDIA Customer Care, and I show you their reply below:
-----------------
Hello Harish,
thank you too!
My NAS is connected by ethernet gigabit to the shield, and I have 2 HDD of 3Tb each connected as JBOD volume.
Best regards
Gianfranco
PS: if of interest I can act as betatester for larger disks, since I have ordered 2 HDD of 6Tb each for the Plex server on the new shield. After what you said, I’ll connect them has BASIC volume, do you agree?
Response By Email (Harish) (02/19/2017 10:41 AM)
Hello Gianfranco,
Thank you for the reply
This NAS is 8TB in size and it works on wireless technology, we recommend only maximum 4 TB HDD for this SHIELD TV and we have not tested wireless NAS device for the SHIELD and we cannot assure you that it will work, Please get in touch with us, if you need further assistance and I would be happy to help you
Best Regards,
Harish,

Hello Harish,
the model is DS 214 play, you can see details below:
Synology DS 214 play
I can’t send a screen shot because today after a full reset the shield was definitively bricked.
I forget to tell you before that the shield it often freezed and that forced me to do a reset.
Best regards

Two things.
1. This is not happening to me since the 5.0 upgrade. Not sure if it is coincidence or not
2. Maybe more important, it is not happening since I reinstalled DDWRT on my router which performs a type of local dns, similar to WINS, but for all devices, windows computers, macs, androids, HDHomeRun, . So, when my Synology comes online as "SPACE", I can always "ping space" from any device and it "just works". It's kind of magic to me, as I used to build DNS forward and reverse services, DHCP servers, RAS gateways, RADIUS, and so on, etc. No idea how this works so well.
So, my R8000 router, (and my prior R7000) have these DDWRT settings
Use DNSMasq for DHCP
Use DNSMasq for DNS

I think these are what makes everything work amazingly.
So, for everyone with a NAS, can you just ping by the machine name?
If not, I think you will have to set you DHCP to fix the IP for certain devices, at least the NAS.
