Server Version#: 8.1.0 (Shield)
Player Version#: 7.27.0.15018
Hi there, just purchased an Nvidia Shield (2019) 16gb to replace my desktop as a PMS. I followed the instructions here:
However after linking my account, it only acts as a player, and doesn’t prompt to set it up as a server. I was going to link to the media on my NAS. I have the shield on wifi right now, but I’m wondering if moving it to an ethernet connection might prompt me, although I’m unsure what that would change.
The documentation seems to indicate that I can run this just fine on the non-pro Shield, but if I can’t get this working, I’d like to know sooner than later, so I can return the Shield.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall, and just skip the account linking to see if it would prompt me, but that didn’t work either.
When I go into the settings, where you would expect the server option, is just completely missing. It jumps from subtitles to advanced, with no server options.
Sorry, I did not design or make the shield, or decide that the tube would have less capabilities/features than a more expensive pro version.
Also, it is no doubt not because that it couldn’t, but that either shield’s engineering/marketing decided either it wasn’t a good and supportable experience, or they intentionally wanted to segment the product by offering a cheaper/more stripped down model, and a premium model with all the features.
