Hi everyone that takes sometime to help me.
First of all I have an AMLogic aml8726-mx TV BOX that came with android 4.2 pre-installed. I don't want to have android so I wanted to install a native linux with XBMC.
So I prove this two projects OpenELEC and the other one MX-Linux.
First I may upgrade my firmware to matricom firmware 1.1.5 (or 1.1.6 depends of the version that I wanted to install), and it comes with Xbmc Frodo 12.0 If I'm not wrong..
Ok so after update, I prove that everything works right. And I install one of the projects.
And it's here where I'm getting crazy/angry/dissapointed... Everything works fine except SOUND! It's connected to a Samsung B450 Series by HDMI. There no sound.
It's because an the kernel or just a xbmc issue?
Thanks and hope that you fix my problem,
Jose.
super duper stupid sugestion-but do you in audio settings set the audio output device?
Hi all,
Recently bought a shield to go with my panasonic cx802 4k TV..
I plugged it all in booted the nvidia logo popped up then black screen... Nothing I tried swapping ports restarting etc nothing.., so I hooked it up to monitor and went though new install changed the HDMI res setting to 720p un plugged and went back to my pana which now did display a picture... Problem is I cannot select a res higher that 720p which I'm finding really annoying.. Can any one help?
Guys I know it's my first post I'm not a total noob.. Just started a new name..
Would a fix for this be to install a custom ROM where I can more control??
Any advice welcome
You shouldn't need that! Btw have you got other sources hooked to your tv, BR player, AND have you tried the sat channel in 4k?
Edit: Saw a reply from @Koying regarding you must not uncheck SURFACE rendering but that was regarding Kodi, to have 4k working. You didn't mention Kodi, though!
Edit2: Have you tried disabling Cec control, if you had it enabled before?

Are you using the at least a HDMI 1.4 cable?
Hey guys, i have the same problem.
I think it's a real thing : https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/918948/shield-android-tv/stuck-at-720p-after-update/
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...shield-tv-stuck-at-720p60hz-max-on-4k-screen/
hen, i started my shield TV, and it was in 720p. When i try to change this on the system HDMI menu, i just have choice between 3 720P option.
I tried a brand new cable 2.0, same problem.
I reinstall my TV and my shield TV, same problem.
On a french forum i found someone talking about an Edid corruption, but i don't know what that's thing.
I couldn't test on another screen because i don't have one. I can read 4k movie with my popcorn hour on the same HDMI port, with the same hdmi cable as the shield TV.
Do you have a lead about a solution ?
Thanks !

EDID is the signature the TV send to connected device so the device know what the TV can do.
So if the EDID is corrupted or unknown to the device it will default to 720p or 1080p. IMO
Maybe you can perform a firmware upgrade on your TV and see if their will reset the TV itself . Check their support site.
Good luck.
Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a digital display to describe its capabilities to a video source (e.g. graphics card or set-top box). It is what enables a modern personal computer to know what kinds of monitors are connected to it.
Thank you, i did perform a firmware update just before the problem happen on my TV.
Maybe a downgrade could be a solution, i have no idea on how i can do that on philips TV
I tried to do a full install with nvidia img, but i never pass the "please wait .." steps
i could perform a hard reset of my tv, reflashing the first version of the firmware.
Still the same problem.
I will ask Nvidia for a RMA

Filty21 on another forum found a solution here's the solution, i'm trying :
I had the same problem: you have to factory reset your shield on other device like xbox one pass-through. I explain:
First let the Shield connected to your tv and try to factory then at popup confirmation click ok.
Second disconnect hdmi cable to connect it at an other device (xbox or receiver...). Let the shield in this state during 10 min.
Finally reconnect the shoeld to your tv. You will have choices resolution...
Hello.
I do not understand what you are talking about. Could you be clear? I have that same problem
I'm having the same problem on my Phillips tv
Did you manage to resolve this issue Alex?

I'm 99% certain the problem lies with your HDMI cable. Get a HDMI 2.0 or higher cable. A 1.4b cable by design doesn't support higher resolutions with a high refresh rate. It could do 4k but at 30hz only. 2.0 will support 4k , 2.0a will support 4k with HDR.
Hello, im wondering if anyone can point me in a direction of what I would like to do.
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 with broken touch which is currently set up with custom rom and root and various apks, pkugged in to my tv in the bedroom via mhl. This works extremely well as is a quad core phone I get much better performance than I do with the Amazon fire stick.
Now the apps ive used along with the custom rom basically put the screen to sleep and allow me to watch Netflix/Kodi very well, without any battery drain.
Im using various apps to control this and alter screen orientation when needed, using a fire tv Bluetooth controller.
Now this set up doesnt come without problems, which ill not go into in length but point out the main issues id either like to be fixed or gone with a different rom.
First, is there any android tv box/stick rom that is compatable with i9505? Even like a fire tv port or similar?
If not is there any way I can get the TV type apps to recognise fully the Bluetooth fire tv remote im using?
Is there anyway to make the apps im using run as if they were on an android tv box/stick?
I realise this is quite a strange setup/request but id like to know if anyone has any ideas on the topic.
1 thing to know, the rom im using has power options to draw more ma while plugged into mhl (700ma), this stops the battery drain.
Thanks for any pointers/advice in advance.
I am trying to turn my shield tablet into basically an android TV box. I am trying to get Prime, Netflix, and Cinema apk to play on tablet and cast to Roku box. I used to be able to do it no problem. I do not know what changed. I am running Triodexe 15.1 Lineage. I am trying to cast to my Roku Ultra. I know your devices have to be on the same wireless network which they are. If it isn't the tablet doing it the only thing I can think of that possibly changed is ROM and now my wireless network just has one network name for both 2.4 and 5. This new router just sets up one network and prioritizes devices automatically for which network the device will use. As far as ROM I cannot remember which one I had it working on. Is anyone else able to confirm casting is working on this app?
Update - When using Lineage I could not get my PS4 to connect via Bluetooth. This was in addition to not being able to use the cast button. I ended up finding a solution to the casting problem. I downloaded Cast to TV-Xcast from the Google play store once it was setup I was able to detect my wifi connection and get it setup. I decided to experiment trying get the PS4 controller working. I seen Magisk actually has a module to add support for the PS4. I installed it and it did not work. Therefore, I decided to try another custom ROM. I am now running ASOP 6.7 with Pie Android 9. I still have the cast problem on it but my controller now pairs. So, it took some monkeying around but I solved those issues.
It seams like we have a couple good ROMs for this device which are close to working perfectly and then the people building them stop. I know Lineage had official builds of 14.1 and 15.1. Somewhere there has to be on o hei builds floated around that is stable. Then, the proper patches can be applied to it. I have tried looking into building images myself but that is over my head. I have a PC I just built that is more than fast enough. I have a Ryzen 7 3600, 32gb of RAM, and more than enough SSD space. I wish someone could connect to my PC and remotely build images, or they could remotely help setup my PC and show me how to do it. Then, I would keep the forum updated with new builds. If I could figure it out I would help out building images for other devices as well.
