Would anyone know is there a way to disable the netflix button on the 2019 remote?
I looked in the settings & couldn't find anything for that.
Often adjusting volume i end up on netflix instead.

Edit:
Nevermind, google has answers - seems to work also

Here's how to repurpose the Netflix button on the new Shield TV remote

Button Mapper for remapping, well buttons

Which browser works best on the Shield, last I used Puffin on a Mi-Box, it did not want to download files.

Would be nice if Silk Browser worked on the Shield.

I just news AFTVNews downloader a bit kak, but it does it job, save apkmirror.com as favorite and resuse next time. I also ES File Explorer for additional ops like opening up user apps and do store manipulation...

That can be done, but my use case for browser is watching the odd game on a streaming web site, no app available. Silk on Fire TV 4K stick was great for this. Have given my Daughter the Fire TV 4K, so need similar ability, being able to change view to full desktop view is basically a requirement.

Can't you get this app on the Shield? The download on phone and send to Shield. Works with my Mi Box

Thanks, will look at this.

Now that you mention Twitch, it might be worthwhile looking for replacements that do stream on Twitch.

My Shield Pro, just got an update, and Disney + is in the Google Play Store, but not compatible with the device.

Whats up with this?

(re)Sideload it via APKMirror?

 

[Herr der Verboten]

I'm beginning to like Moonlight game streaming more than the Shield's GS for PC to TV.

That can be done, but why in Google Play Store, but it is not compatible with device?

Not a type of geolocking?

Could be but then the "error" msg is misleading.

Don't know, I would just sideload it and then if it still doesn't work I'll go and see what the real story is with ES Explorer > user apps > disney > store
