Custom profile for Shield TV causing “No conversion profile found for the protocol http” on playback

General Discussions

I tried a Shield TV custom profile I found elsewhere on the forum to solve the issue where transcoding happens because Plex matches the Shield TV against the generic android profile.

However, When I load it, I get the error “no conversion profile found for the protocol http” on playback of media I previously was able to play before the custom profile. Looking at the profile, I don’t see anything wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Alternatively, if you have a working profile for your Shield TV that differs, please share!
