Root Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 Version

Do I use that in place of lineage-OS.zip? Do I start over from the beginning of your video?

Okay wow I should have asked more questions. Sorry I didnt realize you came from that setup. Yes you would use that instead. You would simply run erase all partitions after placing the shield back into the bootloader menu then shield root. but if you are satisfied with lineage you can just leave it and I can wait on someone else cause lineage is a lot of work to install.

Ok I'll use yours. But now I have a different problem. It won't go into the bootloader menu.

Ok I'll use

You can send through adb

adb reboot bootloader

But now that I think about it you gave me an idea I will download a low quality video and test it myself and see if that works I appreciate your time

Whelp it would help if I actually understood what AI Upscaling is and does. https://www.talkandroid.com/guides/android-tv-guides/nvidia-shield-tv-ai-upscaling/ explains it well

"It’s also important to keep in mind that this only works on 1080p and 720p content at 30FPS, so you won’t be able to use it on a lot of YouTube videos or things that are already in 4K"

I'm kinda throwing my hands up here cause I really am having a hard time understanding how to test this. So if anyone who understands the AI upscaling has time to let us know at some point,, it would be appreciated. I am going back to researching of pulling the preinstalled rooted images and flashing them back https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...the-staging-blob.4516537/page-3#post-87784093

---EDIT @nooted1 is testing for us --------> HERE! YAY!
