[APP] [Windows] Nvidia Shield TV Utility App v0.11

[imtiajmeah]

Hi Guys,

I've created GUI app to easily sideload your apks to the Nvidia Shield TV via USB or over the Network. I will be updating it over time with extra bells and whistles.

The link below will direct you to the download page where you will find the app.

Mod edit: download links removed (PPC links are not allowed).

1. Unzip the folders to "C:\NSTV"
2. Launch app "Nvidia Shield TV Utility App.exe"

Confirmed working on Win7, Win8 and Win10


Feel free to ask any question's, post any comments or concerns, or make suggestions for things you might like to see

Donation's are never expected, and always appreciated.

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to get the windows adb drivers installed. I was trying to update drivers for "Shield Android TV" and get the message "the folder you specify doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 based systems"

I'm not coming up with any unknown devices or any devices with an exclamation point in device manager.

What is the benefit of this over just putting the apps onto a USB drive?

Download and have a play. Hopefully will answer your own question

Its more than just an app sideloader from the comfort of your chair. It has many additional functions and will grow over time.

Currently to get you started:
Sideload apps directly from PC without having to transfer to USB.
Uninstall apps remotely from PC
Extract apk files remotely from PC
Take Screenshots and transfer to PC directly
Take Video and transfer to PC directly
Turn On or put device to Sleep from PC
Customise your Kodi
Backup and restore your Kodi settings
Virtual Keyboard and remote from PC

Update - I got the ADB drivers installed. I downloaded then from nvidia. Google "SHIELD Family Windows USB Driver" and it's the 3rd result down. Update - I got the ADB drivers installed.

Do you have to use adb with this app or do you use it just to help sideload a apk via a usb cable to the NVS console tv?

You need the ADB USB Windows drivers installed on your PC if you want to connect via the cable.

Until NVidia decides to turn ADB over Network you will manually need to do this with a USB cable so you can run the app over your network without a USB cable attached.

Thanks for that. I added the generic Drivers in my app that work fine, but good to know they have their own.

Would be good to find a user guide somewhere how to download and install them on the PC.... I've been asked a few times but can't find the time... I will try and do a nice user giude when I can.

 

[lartomar2002]

That would be very nice and helpful.

I keep getting error device not found but it says its connected over ip

Hi its currently only a guide on which box your requested to connect to... ADB is limited on what it reports back when it connects. I am working on a solution.

If you click on the connected status at the bottom it will popup a box with the current status

or

If you select "Normal debug mode" in settings then click "Connect via IP" from "File" menu. A cmd window will open and report of any issues if not connected.

This looks like an awesome tool for the Shield Tv. I'll definitely check it out once my shield arrives later today. I see you have a Kodi configuration section in the tool, and I was wondering if it would be possible to add this feature in to change the Kodi data directory. I can see this being very useful for owners of the 16GB model.

Also for reference they are discussing this is the Kodi forum here
