I did all of this at first and it worked.
Going to sort this out tonight from scratch.

I also did a fresh setup once after getting my Shield, I think it may have been to change the region of the device to UK settings. I just can't recall for sure, but is ringing bells in my head... I think it gives you better assistant support.
 
@CamiKaze I found this article which may enlighten some of us... https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/18/nvidia-adds-google-home-integration-shield/

I run my Shield with the Google Assistant only enabled when I push the mic button on my remotes. I disabled the always listen feature for "Ok Google". I might try blend of both the Google Home Assistant and the Shield Assistant. But my experience with the Shield Assistant is that its battles to hear me properly via the remote microphone. That is why I put a Home Mini into the mix...

So I did a factory reset and removed everything that I possibly can, even switched off a lot of services linked to google.

Anyway, switching the TV, Receiver and Shield on with the Shield remote worked perfectly and I tested it a couple of times to make sure that everything is in place. Perfect.

I then proceeded to install Kodi, and helloooo, my problem is back. The above mentioned does not switch on anymore after I say "Sleep" or "Off".

Edit: When I set the favourite apps on Youtube and I say "Off", the device switches off. When I try to switch on with the Shield remote with the button in the circle, nothing happens, it doesn't switch on, but when I switch the TV on, then I am actually in Youtube all of a sudden... odd.
 
I see that it is a common problem:

No need to file anything, we’re working on it. CEC is a bit of a whack a mole. We fixed some bugs with it in 7.1 and those fixes broke some other TVs. The issue is not wide spread and we did not encounter it in our internal testing and by the time we found it in preview, it was too late for this release. While it’s not wide spread, we’re working on it with priority to get it fixed ASAP. Some users have reported that turning off cec volume control fixes the cec power on problem. Can you try and see if that fixes it for you?

@CamiKaze ... I can't turn my Shield on either if I ask google assistant to do it. I have to tell it to turn on my TV, then it all turns on. So seems there is a bug. Even when everything is on, it wont turn the Shield off either. Again I have to say "turn the TV off" ... In your case your TV is not even visible to Google Assistant in your device list, makes it a a bit of a dead end. Have you researched more on your TV side of things as a work around?

Hi, nothing wrong with my setup. If you read through my links then you would see that Nvidia is aware of the bug and that they are trying to fix it.

I found a work around, and it's got to do with the CEC settings itself. Switch CEC off on the Shield for the audio portion only. That's the only temporary fix. My whole system can now switch off and on with the remote.

It's got to do with the Oreo update.
 
@SirFooK'nG , did you try this work around on your setup?

I removed every single thing. I only have Youtube, Kodi and Morph TV.
Looking for a decent anime add-on for Kodi. Can't get Boruto eng subs.

I presume you are referring to switching everything on and off with the Shield remote? Mine always did work that way. Just the voice control via assistant from my Google Mini Home is funky...

Oh. Are you running the latest firmware as per what the link says regarding the bug in said latest firmware?
My voice control through my phone works perfectly.

Yip, on the latest firmware... but the CEC bug is a hit & miss as I understand it. Works on some TV's, half works for others and then nothing for some...

Edit: Also my LG 5.1 Audio is plugged into the TV (HDMI) and my Shield is also plugged into the TV (HDMI). I don't have my Shield going AV > TV... My TV is my central device. So My LG sits on AV in for audio via the TV. TV I change to whichever HDMI device I want to watch, which is almost exclusively the Shield.

Probably got to do with my outdated receiver. Yamaha RX-V475.

I should probably connect my Shield directly to the TV to rule that possibility out.
 
Just grabbed a Shield.Amazon has a special at 3k all inclusive. Delivers before 19th Dec. Doesn't include gaming remote though. I personally tried a ps4 remote on my mates shield and it works flawlessly.

Gaming remote is of no value to me to be honest, I have never used mine. I don't even try gaming on the shield. Got a PC for that.
 
Anyone figure out how where to find the emulator and ROMs and how to install the ROMs?
 
Games that I have installed from Aptoide store are real racing 3 and asphalt 8. Played some batman Arkham city from the Nvidia game store as well. Drops the resolution for some reason. I guess because latency is high due to me being on LTE.
