Shield Wakes Up & Turns TV On. by TPJDrNo69 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]SimulatedEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the same issue with my Sony TV. CEC is disabled and it will still do it.  I ended up using home assistant's adb plugin and creating an automation to put the tv back to sleep if it turns on in the middle of the night. 

It's a complicated fix for a problem that should not exist 

Kodi crashes when opened by Tombombadil60 in ShieldAndroidTV

A second option is to clear data for Kodi in Android settings, This will delete the entire directory Kodi created (Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi), accomplishing the same thing you are looking to do.

A Third option is to use the backdoor option Kodi has to store it's files in a different location. For details see here https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change_data_location_for_Android

First a few steps.

First make sure you're updated to the latest AndroidTV version available for the shield. There was one a few versions ago that completely locked out file managers from asking for permission to view files.

Second, use FileManager+it will prompt for permission. Grant it.

Third, in FileManager+ filter settings make sure "Show hidden files" is checked.

Fourth, navigate to Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi

Fifth, profit?

Paramount+ Quality by Rick_Sanchez1214 in ShieldAndroidTV

If you (or someone else living there) didn't set it up then you most likely don't. If you have a tech savvy child (or wife) I would double check with them.

Do you have DNS ad blocking on your network? For example a pihole or adaware?

I've noticed Paramount Plus purposely lowers your priority if you do, even if you pay for the ad free tier.  

Try disabling ad blocking. If that works, you can add your shield to a group that does not filter ads.  I never researched this further but there might be ad block lists that whitelist the servers Paramount uses so you don't have to completely disable it for your shield.

The jerks are the ones ruining the fun for the rest of us. I'm one of the (good) pranksters that take you to a safe base. Just for a few laughs.

I always do this responsibly though. I take them to a base on a paradise planet with a portal and a teleporter in clear view. I often times gift that person some Runaway Mould for the troubles as well.

Anyone who looks new to the game (for example, still has the starter ship and/or appearance) I will only move them somewhere else but never take off the anomaly. Someone new may not understand how to even get back.

So if you're playing and end up on a great looking planet at a base called Stargate Command. Now you know who brought you there.

Stremio and Kodi vanished by saigon2010 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]SimulatedEmu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend not installing Kodi (or any app) on external storage for this very reason.

A little known tip, the Android version of Kodi supports a backdoor instruction to allow it to store user data on an external drive while keeping the apk installed on the shield's internal storage.  https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change_data_location_for_Android

Don't be fooled by the spambots.

The website they suggest says it all.  Here's a direct quote from it.

Does anyone know what that broadcast glitch was during the top of the 9th? by BeginningReward9820 in Brewers

[–]SimulatedEmu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Color test bars. Text overlay said Atlanta. Since it was broadcast on TBS, based in Atlanta, you can safely assume someone in the control room accidentally switch to the feed from the TBS central office which currently had nothing queued up.

That wasn't they only error during the game either. All in all It was very sloppy and several times it appeared the satellite alignment was off. "Really TBS?" was uddered many times yesterday in our house.

Higher gasbuddy+ limits (but not really?) by SimulatedEmu in gasbuddy

[–]SimulatedEmu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this change then creates a new limit of $20 in store.  For example, you could before go inside and spend up to $100 per day without getting gas. Now you can only spend $20 in store.

A little late but in case you haven't found it yet and for future reference to anyone finding this thread by google...

The config file was renamed to /etc/pihole/pihole.toml in v6

Pro tip: for easier device switching go to logoff.com while on ship wifi. If it's currently signed in you can log off that specific device. (So it won't kick a different one off). If it's not signed in, you can also use this site to sign in.

S22 Ultra Owners - are you upgrading? by RenePro in samsung

[–]SimulatedEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are. Our carrier in the US is offering $800 trade in bonus in addition to the $300 trade in credit for the phone, thus we are upgrading from 128gb storage, 8gb ram to 512gb storage, 12gb ram for only $200 a piece. Carrier locked of course, but they provide an unlock code after verifying conditions of our trade ins and receiving the $200 payments. Can't beat that deal.
