    You don’t really need a NAS if you get a Real Debrid account plus an app that supports it, like Weyd, Syncler, or Stremio + Torrentio. You can run a Plex server directly on the Shield, too.

    Yeah for sure, and that has actually helped me to offload a lot of storage of my NAS as well, but RD can fail, and it is good to have something offline too.

    This was Google’s decision, not Nvidia’s. It’s in the base OS and Nvidia have no control over it. I replaced the stock launcher with flauncher which is basic and lightweight - just what I wanted. I used “Method 2: disable the default launcher” from the flauncher Readme to disable the default launcher and it worked well on both of my Shields.

    I understand, I actually decided to just rollback the launcher to the old stock UI, it works pretty well to me.

      I didn’t even realise that was possible! How do you do it?

        I’d start with deleting updates of your launcher, that way you’ll have it in its original state, then deactivate automatic updates.

        I downgraded to 8.2.3 just to be extra safe it won’t change back because of the server side update thingy… Plus seeking for a better performance/less clunkiness.
