Hi all, just a little help if you can with my new unit. I am looking for videos to set up my new Nvidia Shield Pro. I have found some but they are not Troys so I don’t know if I can trust them. If you could point me in the right direction it would be helpful. Thanks for the help and all that you do. Had enough with firesticks.
I don’t think Troy has any videos I know this one is a good video I have watched it and used some of the things I did not know and it can be trusted. https://youtu.be/yNN7MiHtpG0
Just ask if you need anything else

This Youtube video seemed fairly useful. I haven’t set up my new Shield Pro yet as I just got it but will be using this once I’m ready to get the thing going.
Thank you for the link!

I’m not sure what category to put this question in so if someone knows the correct place please advise and I will change it. Thanks.
I opened my Nvidia Pro and some of the icons turned to generic Android. Specifically, KODI, Stremio, Amazon Prime and Weyd. All the others like MX Player, YouTube, Downloader Syncler, etc. icons are as they should be.
I redownloaded a couple of the apps hoping that would resolve the matter but it did not. Do I need to completely uninstall them and reinstall? Laborious process. Any idea what might have caused it?
I have and use a nVidia Shield pro every day and have not seen or experienced any such behaviour. My only suggestion, or thoughts regarding your issue, would be to turn off the Google Play protect and app scanning and see if that helps.

Can you be a little more specific on your definition of set up? Do you want to just know how to use the unit or do you want to know how to sideload apps to the unit?
@AJS1 is absolutely spot on. I hadn’t thought of that, but such things as enabling developer options as well as the multitude of settings within the Shield itself that can be set for your specific setup will require more detail of what exactly you need. Good morning @AJS1
Which year and version?
2019 Shield Pro.
Sorry guys I made a mistake. I was answering the original post back from November. I didn’t realize there was a new post from pro bowler! That’s what I hate about keeping a post up for 3 years.

I watched the “How to setup the 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro Step by Step.” A little over 2 hours long. He mentions Gaia, a similar app to the Crew. What are the pros and cons of Gaia?
Good day @hammer . Where did you find a 2 hr long vid on setting up the shield pro? That’s a feature length movie.

The over 2 hour video mentions Gaia. Similar to The Crew. What are the pros and cons of Gaia?
Gaia? WOW Blast from the past. I believe that was a KODI Addon at LEAST 5 years ago if not longer. My guess is that is no longer around.

Ya I found that. Not a Troypoint vid so you’ll have to search on Google for the gaia stuff you asked about if you don’t get an answer.
