I'm setting up a shield tv and can not add it to a room in google home. Keep getting the same error: 'error when linking device'.
Have factory reset the shield but still getting the same error. Also tried making a new home and adding to that but no luck.
I have had this a while and essentially stopped using my Shield for Firesticks as they worked.
However, fiddling with my shield again and got a little further than before but am looking for advice for the newer UI and not for feedback from 2022 forums.
The file with EAC3 sound would not play at all. I fiddled and in the Advanced Sound > Select formats and chose Manual, select which formats to use, and turn all but DD+ off, the video plays (but jumps every few seconds) but there is still no sound. It is better than when it was set to Auto detect and would just have the yellow spinning wheel and throw up an error message.
Plex is self hosted on a DS920+ NAS (the same files play in Jellyfin on the shield, so it is a plex issue).
Within plex on the shield it is set to HDMI passthrough. On the server end I have hardware acceleration when available ticked.
Any help gratefully received!
