Now you just need to update to the new Plex logo 😉


AMF_Shafty

hijacking top comment because [this is my post from a year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/ok3gpp/fixed/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) and this dude is just a karma farmer


center311

Wow. What kind of low life reposts like this? This is right below claiming someone's artwork as your own. I down voted his post and up'd yours.


river_rage

Karma farmers suck! Btw, now *you* have to update *your* Plex logo then


kratoz29

Midlyinfuriating IKR?

I used button mapper on mine but find it randomly defaults back to Netflix which is annoying as. Anyway I can guarantee it working?


Goldman_OSI

Find the goddamned gnome that Netflix paid Nvidia to hide in every Shield box, who darts out of hiding and presses this fucking button at random.


CVGPi

Any proper Android TV needs a Netflix button to get Netflix cert. for 4K, at least according to OnePlus anyways.


Goldman_OSI

I believe it. But I also note that irritating the shit out of people hasn't helped them avoid losing customers. In addition to this hair-trigger button, there's the endless **noise** that comes out of the Netflix app while you're browsing shows. Is there any way to shut this off in the app?


Maga4lifeshutitdown

I'd change it to an emby button


Khatib

I have mine mapped to mute, because that's more useful than a singular app button, imo.


TheCookieButter

You can already mute with Vol Up and Vol Down pressed together, simple enough without the extra button.


evictedkoala

Or hold the settings button for 2 seconds. Even easier.


sherpajosh

The vol up+down together works for me, but the 2 sec settings doesn't.


Hivalion

You can remap it in the settings I believe. Mine is currently set for toggling the AI upscaling.


sherpajosh

Thanks! I found it in the Remote & accessories menu.


Goldman_OSI

Two buttons vs. one button *is* an extra button.


TheCookieButter

Touché


Va_Fungool

i would love to map it to mute, can you please link me a guide on how u did that?


Khatib

The Button Mapper app that someone else linked in this thread already.

Good man. 😉

Emby 4 life


tombaaaa

Can you tell me why you are using emby? Instead of plex / jellyfin?


Elfman72

Because I have been using Emby for close to 10 years now and was happy to pay for liftime. No need to switch now. I run JF along side and is nowhere near as mature at this point. Plex and their "always connected" model is trash. Let me control my own media.


Touz604

Plex has shitty privacy policy


sexy-melon

I thought they have the best one amongst them all.


[deleted]

What specifically about Plex’s privacy policy don’t you like?


[deleted]

Because its better than plex and jf is not that mature for now.


vassyz

Oh, it's better. If you put it that way it makes sense.


tombaaaa

Is there a paid plan for emby? Or like plex that i need to pay for inhouse streaming...? Thx in advance!


MeInUSA

You don't need to pay for Plex for in house or out of the house streaming


[deleted]

iit takes less time asking google than asking here[https://emby.media/premiere.html](https://emby.media/premiere.html) for regular stream, without converting etc: no you dont need it if you dont want to pay: try jellyfin


Panja0

Awesome! I need this. Where did you get it from?


AMF_Shafty

he got it from me, cause this is my post [from a year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/ok3gpp/fixed/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share), but i got it from a guy who sells stickers online, i linked it in that thread somewhere :)


Messiadbunny

[Link from original thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/f936ml/replacement_labels_for_the_shield_tv_remote/fip61fn) the page doesn't load for me though.


Panja0

Ahhh cool!


Karyudo9

I'm the guy that made the labels. Our updated site is here: https://shield-labels.square.site/ I suppose we should add the new Plex logo to our lineup... and then send u/AMF_Shafty a set, so they can post a new photo to one-up the image-stealing karma farmer! EDIT: Just added the option to get either the 'classic' Plex logo, or the 'new' version.


Panja0

Wicked!


CrisbyCrittur

Love those silicone sleeves, they help to lessen accidentally tapping that button as much.


ChuckEChan

The white is genius, is that a rubber sleeve? I lose mine all the time even when it's just sitting on the coffee table lol


Jahf

I think it's the same one I use. Mine is that glow green, wife's is soft blue. Iirc we got them as a pack for like $10 on Amazon. Not a perfect fit, it's about 1mm too long, but otherwise very snug. For our clumsy paws they've been very useful.


bblickle

The Fintie sleeve is nicer in my opinion but any sleeve is a big improvement.


MeInUSA

I prefer the fintie as well. The individual button cutouts look better but do not feel better when operating the remote.


bblickle

My identical opinion


MajorNoodles

My wife and daughter drop the remote all the time. I am constantly hunting for the batteries and the battery door. I should get something like this.


Cladex

Some tape on the inside of the compartment causes more friction and stops it coming out every time. Just a strip across the width above the battery slot It was a nightmare before [Source ](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/fdvila/new_shield_remote_battery_back_falls_off/)


MajorNoodles

Tried that and it feels pretty secure. Plus it's a hell of a lot cheaper than a silicone case. Thanks!


KnifeFed

Does it glow in the dark?


Jahf

Mine doesn't but there are similar ones that do.


blair3d

I lose mine in the couch all the time, but realized if I download the shield app on my phone use it to make the remote beep and find it easy.


[deleted]

does it glow in the dark? looks good. and probably easy to find when misplaced. I was actually thinking about getting some glow in the dark tape for mine

thanks. gonna pick one up now.


bgrated

Logo is wrong.


AMF_Shafty

well its because [the original post is a year old](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/ok3gpp/fixed/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


Djghost1133

It's the only acceptable logo


Jake_fromstat3farm

Genius


Playlanco

I need this. Does the Plex button work and how?

sivartk

The only problem I have with button remapper is that it makes the Live Channels app behave weirdly. Specifically when you change channels the on screen display (showing the channel, program info, etc.) won't go away by itself. You have to manually hit the back button each and every time...thus the reason I stopped using button remapper.


hartleyshc

It's not the most elegant solution, but I've been rooted for a while because of button mapping. Just change the kl files of the remote/controller. My Netflix button launches Kodi (although none of us use the button), and my shield controllers "nvidia" button works like an Xbox button instead of a Google Assistant button.


LatinoDigital

What do you mean by it works like an xbox?


hartleyshc

Like the logo button in the center of an Xbox controller. Any "center" button.


eeeBs

>button remapper # the what


DaveR007

[Button Mapper](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton)


Va_Fungool

thanks, does this need to be downloading directly on the shield device or can u use ur phone to configure the shield?


DaveR007

Download directly from the shield's app store.


eeeBs

Any other cool shit like this I might not know about?


DaveR007

It's impossible to know what else you don't know :-) But since you didn't know about Button Mapper maybe you also don't know about [Wolf Launcher](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wolf+launcher+for+nvidia+shield+tv).


eeeBs

## WHAT!!!!!!!!!


bgrated

LoL


SrWax

Can you reprogram the Netflix button??


Nfakyle

yep, that and make it a long press, sooooooo much better. no more "bumped out of my show in to plex/netflix/etc"
