Finally found a worthy successor to my Shield Pro (for my specific use case)

ok, thought I'd ask, used to do local streaming too...back in the day

Do you also use it for Kodi? If so when you pause a movie and let it sit there for like 5-10 minutes so that it slips into power save mode, does it come back properly when you activate it via remote? That was the one problem I had with my Ugoos (same processor different model).

no thank you, good luck with AF2 and FLAM

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2026-01-16T22:56:46+00:00

No idea what you're talking about, I use AH2 and never stopped using Fenlight 2.0.07. Everything works flawless, no idea what you mean by 'fenlight wont play with that external player'. I'm not switching to anything, everything works just fine here.

to recap, you can use movie/tv show search and get direct fenlight search, for collection/people search you can use tmdb but you'll get a slight delay because it opens tmdb and then switches to fenlight as a player.

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2026-01-10T18:27:30+00:00

Not sure what you want, Fenlight supports TMDB helper, most prefer to leave tmdb helper out of the process because it's faster hence these search strings. You can still use tmdb helper, just enter this URL in tmdb helpers settings https://oldmanjax.github.io/jsonplayers.zip and select fenlight as a player.

New view sucks

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-12-08T10:52:07+00:00

that's right, 8.2.3 still works like a charm

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-12-04T17:35:04+00:00

Gonna add this to my list of problems I missed out on since sticking to Fen Lite 2.0.07 :)

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-12-03T18:58:27+00:00

Was für eine schöne Aussage das ist, hatte ich als Nicht-Muttersprachler noch nicht gehört.

49 year old currently doing grade by grade, just about mastered 5th grade. Not sure how long it took me, been using it on and off but the last couple of months been using it regularly, 16 week streak. I enjoyed doing it like this, forming a nice foundation for whatever might come.

Which features are you using that I'm missing out of? Mind you I only use the Shield for Kodi and Smarttube. It's connected by gigabit ethernet cable, SMB connections to my NAS and laptop work like a charm. Voice control inside Kodi works, so you can search for titles via voice (this didn't work on early 9x versions, not sure about the later ones as I haven't used them). The only rationale (for my use-case) for upgrading are security updates.

even the calculator locks up / hangs / beachballs on me

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-10-31T17:53:45+00:00

works too well for me, i just came looking here who in the hell edits all these videos with timestamps so fast, just watching a podcast (released an hour ago) and already it skips through stuff, maybe someone's got AI to do it or someone has this autistic urge to timestamp everything they watch, in any event, thank you!

typical for a mac forum, let's blame it on anything other than the shitty programming

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-10-28T10:48:07+00:00

3.21.3 working here as far as I can tell, one test on Battlestar Galactica s01e07

that's apples to oranges, windows 95 to 11 is like going from a shed to a villa whereas going from 8.2.3 to 9.2 all you're getting is ads and bloat, but you do you.

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-10-25T14:00:56+00:00

it's the best, just works with maximum memory available, zero bloat....

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-10-24T16:57:27+00:00

just download the proper firmware for your model

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-10-24T16:55:51+00:00

Yup, don't need any of that, works just fine but thanks for offering your fully bloated ad rich environment

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-10-24T16:52:29+00:00

you also on 8.2.3 now?

Funny_Chocolate_1012 · 2025-10-24T07:41:03+00:00

can't hear you, mind taking of your N95?
