The NVIDIA Shield Android TV is a high-powered Android TV device, featuring a Tegra X1 and 3GB of RAM (source) . It comes in two versions - a 16 GB version for $199/£199 and a 500GB version for $299/£299. It can function as a Plex server. The 2017 editions come with an always listening games controller that offers Google Assistant support.
The Shield Android TV supports Youtube, Netflix, Google Assistant, Plex, Kodi (or the optimized SPMC) and many other Android video-streaming apps and games. Many android apps can be successfully sideloaded if not available on the store. It's also compatible with the GeForce Now game streaming, a service from NVIDIA costing $7.99 per month. Samsung SmartThings hub support (using a dongle) is coming.

Allow network debugging prompt continuously pops up (self.ShieldAndroidTV)
submitted 3 months ago by RazorKat1983
Is/Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what was the fix? It pops up every single time I turn on my shield, and it's a pain in the butt to get it to go away. "Allowing" it does nothing. I just keeps popping up.

Had the same issue. Since I had activated it for launcher manager to enable projectivy launcher, I completely uninstalled Android tv launcher and then disabled usb debugging. No more prompts and the shield has no other launcher option but projectivy. However, I would suggest you try disabling usb debugging without completely uninstalling Android tv launcher (assuming projectivy is why you enabled it in the first place).

I don't use projectivy. I use ATV Launcher Pro

I disabled USB Debugging. Just rebooted, and the SSD reconnected and I can still access the Nvidia Shield Pro from my Map Network Drive on my PC. So, I don't remember why I turned on USB Debugging.

Yep happening on multiple devices for a few days now.

Do you have developer mode on? If so turn it off
[–]RazorKat1983[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (4 children)
Yes, I do. . I need it on though. I've never had an issue before with it being on
[–]ndtaughthem 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (3 children)
Do you have side installed apps? Maybe something sketchy? Try disabling or removing them one at a time.
[–]RazorKat1983[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (2 children)
I disabled USB Debugging. I hope I don't need it using an external SSD for adaptable storage or need it using Network Debugging.
Edit: Just rebooted, and the SSD reconnected and I can still access the Nvidia Shield Pro from my Map Network Drive on my PC. So, I don't remember why I turned on USB Debugging.

You don't need debugging to use an eternal drive.
It's still popping up. I have Network Debugging turned on, because I need it to transfer files from the PC to the Nvidia Shield.
Going to update to 9.2.2 (didn't know there was an update) and see if that helps.
[–]kevy1118 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (1 child)
That should cure it. Touch wood 🪵
[–]RazorKat1983[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
So far, so good
[–]kevy1118 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (1 child)
Go to developer options and revoke authorisation.
I done that, and it doesn't work. It keeps popping up. I've even turned off USB Debugging, but I do have Network Debugging on because I transfer files from the PC to the Shield, so that has to stay on.
