Channels not loading · Nvidia Shield

For Nvidia Shield, separate an empty channel list from a channel that appears but will not play. The account, catalogue refresh and video stream are different parts of the route.

Channels not loading on Nvidia Shield

If the menus and programme names load, the player has reached at least part of the service. That result does not establish that a particular video source is reachable or playable.

Device decoding capability does not establish the resolution or audio tracks by a channel.

Check the NVIDIA SHIELD setup

Platform to identify: Android TV on the SHIELD model
Controls used in this guide: The shield remote or connected controller
Keep privately: A player-supported export and the account login format

Check the particular player in SHIELD app settings and record any decoder setting you change.

NVIDIA SHIELD checklist for channels not loading

Identify the stage
Check whether every group is empty, only one group is missing, or the list is present and just one source fails.
Use the NVIDIA SHIELD route
Check the SHIELD Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Keep the same player and source while comparing the connection.
Compare one useful result
Refresh the list once using the player’s supported control. Try one different known source on the same setup and note which part works.
Confirm the outcome
You know whether the fault affects account access, catalogue loading, one category or the video source itself.

A detour to avoid for channels not loading

Do not replace a working login because one channel is unavailable. Avoid repeatedly importing the same list while a refresh is still running.
