Nvidia Shield 2017 issue

  • Hey guys, just a question to see if anyone can help. I always had a firestick with my set up and it worked really well. I have now moved to adding an Nvidia Shield to my setup. However I can't get the lights to go off. When the Shield goes to sleep mode, I get the rainbow backdrop. Any advice would be grand. I read this thread but it was a no go. idle state configuration question

  • I use the 2017 nvidia shield pro 500GB and don't have that issue. What type of capture card are you using? Make sure CEC detection and signal detection boxes are checked in the USB capture settings.

    Yeah mine is a 2017 as well. I got the generic video loop one from amazon that DR Z video recommends. Its a pain because if I turn it off or unplug it. I have to fiddle the heck out of it before it acts right again.

  • Yup thats my setup as well. Just swaped out the capture card for another one reset everything and the problem is still there. CEC detection is on. However if I switch to the firestick and put it in sleep mode. no problemo. This one has me stumped.

  • As far as I know yes, but I will double check it tonight. For now my work around is to switch over to the fire stick and go to bed lol. I have a few old ones sitting around. Its just annoying at this point.

  • lol unfortunately no go on any of those. old firestick plugged in will be the solution. I think its just detecting no signal when the shield goes into sleep mode. I need to find away so the shield at least gives off a signal of some sort :(

  • Ohh lets call it magic, I just set signal detection Vmin to 0 Vmax to 0.99 Hmin 0.9 and Hmax 0.99 and boom it goes off. It takes an extra 3 secs to come on and go off but it does the trick. Thanks everyone for your help. I just think its the cheap capture card but I'll leave it plugged in from now on.

  • wladi posted a solution for Hyperion not recognising capture card after an unplug, might be worth while skimming over that
