Why not use Stremio on the Shield Pro?

There is nothing wrong with the KODI 21.1 in Troyās Toolbox. I and several others can attest to that. BUT @Patachou Iām glad the Fork is working for you!

Good question, Miki.
I really like having options which is mainly the reason I bought the ONN Pro while having a fully functional Shield and Cube. I, like Mark, am a big fan of Kodi as it is in my comfort zone. Itās intuitively easy to get the streams I am looking for. The old adage āif it aināt broke, donāt fix itā comes to mind. So the intention for the ONN Pro and Stremio was to experiment as well as offering a new option. I will get Stremio set up on the ONN but just have too much going on in my life right now to concentrate on the set up.
All good @JerryJ . As always the gang is here for ya. So if you need help then ask and Iām sure youāll get it.

Yes I did have the non pro and it crashed as well. Sits in a dark drawer. I kept thinking something was wrong on my end and I had the same apps on my other boxes and there were no problems. I really canāt make sense on this because so many others are having no issues. I went in and did everything that Troy did in his video. I even went and bought a power supply that gave 2.0amps instead of 1.5 because some thought that was the issue they were having. I reall, really want this to work because when it is working it is really good
Replaced my 2019 Shield TV with this device. TV is LG OLED C2 and Shield is terrible on it, the ONN 4K Pro is much better, best picture yet. BIG ISSUE is I have a Home theater aoperate by a Logitech Harmony Hud and Onn will not pair, Onn freezes and power cycle is way out. Any help out there?
have you enabled cec settings?
Tried both ways, tried as Shield TV, tried as Chromecast with Google Tv, tried as Nexus, and so on. Sent email to Onn, weāll see if they say anything. Donāt know how to email Logitech.
Thanks for replying.
With the shield did you go into the Power Settings and enable the IR settings. The Harmony HUD is older tech and from what Iāve read everything is IR so you may have to go into the device settings to enable IR Settings. On that LG TV the Shield would provide a superior picture to anything else youāve named but it does require finding the proper settings for your system. I think the Logitech Harmony HUD has been discontinued but seems there are a number of you tube vids that may help. Youāre the first one Iāve ever heard using a HUD.
Thanks for replying. Shield works fine with the Harmony Hub. Just did not like my setup with LG OLED C2. Moved it to Roku 4K LED Tv and it is happy. Onn does not pair with the Hub but has the best picture I have yet to see on my OLED. I set it up with apps and logins on the LED the shield is now on (no Harmony Hub). Someone on another forum about Bluetooth pairing suggests turning off Developer mode and trying. I will give that a shot and report back.
Ya the shield has dozens of combinations and setting for audio and video and it does take a lot of testing to set it up best for different devices. For me Iāve never found any other device that provides me with such amazing picture. I have a Samsung so HDR and HDR10+ is amazing. I have the dev options on but there are very few settings that I actually use.
Just read that Thomson have licenced the exact same device as the Onn 4K pro to sell in the UK . Thomson streaming box plus 270
I have been unable to locate a WalMart store in Canada or on line to purchase the ONN 4 K Pro. Assuming I will be able to purchase one in the future, will the USA model be functional in Canada if I use a Surfshark server in the USA ? Similarly would a USA model be functional in Canada using a Canadian VPN ? Thanks Troy
They donāt sell the Onn streaming devices in Canada even though they sell tons of Onn equipment. You will have to get it in the USA. Like any other streaming box, it will work in Canada, just never expect them to actually sell them. The people in the electronics dept. donāt even know they exist. Pity. I have two Onns and I will be getting a Pro by the end of the year. It took me three states and multiple trips to get it. (Vacations) The VPN is not an issue and you can use any server in the world that gives you the bandwidth you want.
Canāt they be bought from ebay even if your in canada?
Yesā¦Yes they can! At a 50+% Markup!

As MarkxG said, sure but the price will be so much higher and Iām not sure about duty and taxes that will also be added on when itās shipped from the USA. It wonāt be a bargain to be sure. The 4k Onn would have been around $50 and donāt forget the exchange on the money. Itās no longer a $50 device. `
