[Kodi 17.4rc Download For Android
Amancio Mccrae
Debugging on an Android device without root is another story. I have no way of looking at the logs on the device, as the different apps are using different UIDs - Kodi is using one and the terminal emulator that I used is using another and it is not able to read the debug log produced by Kodi.
First, usually you don't need root assess to view Kodi logs. Normally, they are located in /Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/tempfolder. All you need is a file manager that can view "hidden", that is, . prefixed, folders and files, for example Total Commander.
Basically, I have managed to use rclone encrypted remote on android by using rclone explorer app. However, it is ugly(only a listing) and I would like to be able to see posters of movies in kodi. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.
Connectbot is just a terminal emulator. The easiest method in my opinion is to use automate. I could send you my automate flow that you could import. Should be easy to just import and auto start rclone. Pm me if you want it. It can download rclone and run it and you could modify it as needed.
Works been extremely busy. This is a very basic flow. Its super simply because it doesn't need to be complicated. It will simply relaunch rclone if it fails and once started will restart on boot. One flow to download/update the binary and one to actually launch a ftp server. You can also use webdav or http(s) or any other method you'd like that kodi supports. It works well.
Side load the regular version. You'll also need to install the permission APKs. Sometimes it can do it itself. Othertimes you'll need to sideload those as well. I had to sideload them on firetv but I think it did it automatically on nvidia sheild. I cant remember. But you'll need the ' Automate network permissions apk' in addition to the automate.apk
You'll need a .rclone.conf in the /sdcard/Download/ directory. That's where I located it in the command box in the automate flow. Within that .rclone.conf you need a 'local' remote. Just add this to the .rclone.conf
Android is an OS. Kodi is an application running on an OS. You are able to buy an Android based box and install kodi on it. While running Android as an OS you are ofc able to install apk files. But this all has nothing to do with Kodi itself. Those are completely different things.
As an apk is just something like a zip file, it would be possible to unpack it on LE. So an "installation" should be possible with some handwork. But what do you want to do with the so "installed" files? Most apks contain apps written in Java. LE has even no Java interpreter, let alone the missing android Java libraries.
Yes it is possible but complicated, why? you have to do so many steps (maybe using Android emulator, etc) and maybe it wouldn't work. Just install the latest LibreELEC on your device to get Kodi works great on the device, so simple.
Kodi is also available for installation on Android TV devices within the Google Play Store. However, it does not feature the latest stable release of Kodi. We suggest the guide above if you want to use the most recent version of Kodi 21.
HI troy Trying to install Diggz build with different kodi builds but to no avail keep getting check your connection the thing is nothing wrong with the connection.On the kodi build that reject Diggz it accept the Crew.please advised. Thanks
Just upgraded my shield to the latest release, Android 11. Upon doing so, the SDDP connection said "online" but nothing was responsive. After trials and tribulations, the fix was to disable the ethernet connection on the shield (through the menu) and then simply re-enabling cured the problem.
Additionally, when running Kodi now, I was getting a pop-up about a "new controller detected" upon pressing any button on the c4 remote. The fix for this is to use your phone app or native shield remote, go into the kodi settings-->add-ons-->peripheral libraries-->joystick support-->disable. Click ok/apply. Force close kodi and re-open it, problem should be fixed as well.
Edit: A few hours later after a few more reboots it suddenly started to work.... I do not know what exactly did it.
Hopefully they will update the driver to take out this randomness.
I've tried that but I still can't get it to work. It does allow me to start MiniDriver apps like Netflix and youtube but I can't navigation to work.
I've tried your suggestion, tired to use the IP instead of SDDP, rebooted it a few times.... any thing else you did which might have helped?
Here is the Debug log when I press the down button:
same happened to me, need to follow these steps. 1. disable shield ethernet connection from shield settings. 2. pull out battery from C4 remote 3. reboot Shield 4. enable Shield ethernet connection. 5. put battery back in C4.
it's not the remote that is failing. if you try to control the shield with the c4 app or within composer (double clicking shield driver), there is no response. So the remote actually has nothing to do with this issue; it is a driver/connectivity/addressing issue.
I had similar issues, but I found (for my case) that I had to update some system apps in Google Playstore after the Android 11 / Shield 9 upgrade. I cant recall exactly which apps but it may have been the WebView app and also the NVIDIA Remote Service app, which is what I believe the c4 driver uses for commands, after applying those updates and any other available updates, I then hard rebooted it (pulling power out of the shield and wait 5-10 seconds and plug back in). C4 control was available upon it starting up.
I am not sure if anyone else has this issue, but I have had it since I got my shield pro (2019 model) last year, and the shield is always only connecting to my Unifi Gigabit switch at only 100M FDX and not actually running at its apparent 1GB speed as per the specs on the box (I have also tried plugging it into a Cisco catalyst switch and have also even tried forcing the ports on each switch to be 1GB FDX mode which causes it to not connect at all). Has anyone had this issue and if so were you able to rectify it? I read on the Nvidia forums it has been an issue with others and I was hoping it would get fixed with this new update, but it is still not resolved.
This should be all that is needed. If not, take the Shield off SDDP and just use static IP in Composer. I've seen this happen before the 9.0 update as well. The first one I updated to 9.0 fell straight off Control4. Static IP change fixed it.
Forcing as in on the Network Switch port settings (setting it to 1Gbit FDX instead of Auto Negotiate)... I'm not testing on Speedtest, I'm looking in the Shield Network settings it shows it is connected at "100 MB", and also on my network switch. Not trying to do transfers, but I noticed this when I was trying to stream a uncompressed 4K movie from Plex that was trying to push 160MB/s and it was freezing/stuttering, and when I went to troubleshoot it I looked at the port and noticed it was only on 100Mbit. It was not related to this update (it has been an issue since 8.x) and was wanting to know if anyone else had the same issue and if they knew of a way to fix it...
have you tried a different lan cable?
That can usually happen if the lan cable is damaged so it lowers the speed to 100 mbps which only needs 4 of the 8 cores working of a cat6 cables.
I'm using Unifi gear in my home and the Shield is getting 1000mbps with no issues.
Yeah I have tried 3 different brand new CAT6 cables (different brands), also tried an existing one that works with another device that can obtain 1000mbps no problem, and am also using Unifi gear too... think I will contact NVIDIA support.

As I think you have already identified, this seems to be an occasional problem with Shields of all flavors and generations. I've never seen it happen, but there's plenty of similar stories on various forums. I don't see a common cause or solution however.
Just picked up a shield pro and testing out this driver. When I select any of the mini drivers, netflix , hulu , plex , etc , my remotes/touchscreens will show the app I selected, like netflix, briefly and then switch to show "SHIELD TV". Is this normal behavior or should it continue to show the app as the source?
