It looks awesome, and works well for me. Since this device hooks up to TVs with HDMI, I figured it would make perfect sense to run this.
Here's a screenshot of what the latest version looks like.

I plan to do this in about a month when I move into my new appartement and get me some big-ass LED TV.
Since navi x stopped working now I stopped using xbmc unless someone knows how to get it working.

SO much more on XBMC that does exactly what Navi did. Search! Showbocks android app has also proven reliable.

Uhmm Navi stopped working? That's odd because I watched Days of Future Past on Navi just in the month of July.

Hi
In fact it is not a emulator.
It is a emulator frontend.
I followed this steps to make it work:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=183527
The configuration is not easy at all, but it is worth.
I did some scripts to make it possible to have ALL roms with name, genre, cover, snap.
Thanks for letting me know that there's an app call XBMC, it's really nice.
Yes, I've tried using it, works great. Now I can transform my Shield into super-awesome-media-device
was root required?

That is a nice setup, did you need root to do it? I want to avoid rooting my device for now.

You do not need root to do that
The newest version of XBMC is out, and it's called KODI now. Source: http://kodi.tv/kodi-14-0-helix-unwinds/
Just wanted to update this thread for Shield Android TV users. There is a development build specifically for the Shield console.
I cannot post links due to not having 10 posts yet, so search for "Kodi for Shield Android TV". In the Kodi shield tv wiki there is a link to the dedicated Shield TV kodi

Thanks

It depends on what brand android stick you are using. There is an app for MK808 II and MK 808 III but I never any other app for any other Android stick. Most android sticks are controlled by wireless keyboard/mouse.

. I bought FAVI smartstick and I am looking for something similar.There are some remote apps in Google Play I am going to test these apps today even though these apps are more Wifi apps. like this one
You can also try Google TV remote app if your stick has TV remote app. My FAVI stick has that app

I second the Droidmote suggestion. It works pretty well.
Soooo, Sense TV app is gone, and HTC is forcing us to use Peel Remote. I've tried to launch Sense TV today, and it only redirected me to Play Store and Peel app. I can't even use Sense TV to change channels anymore... But I have problems with Peel. First, I can't import anything from Sense TV, and second, even if I skip importing, app doesn't work for me. Is there any way to continue to use Sense TV app, just for changing channels (without network add-onns)?
Thank you for your answer.
I have exactly the same problem and I am pretty angry at HTC and disappointed. Can't run SenseTV, can't run PeelTV and import remotes... This is very bad move by HTC in my opinnion! There are people that have no problems with Peel, but I can't start it!!

Try to replace the version you have with the one that was installed on the device as you got it. Should work

Just download Smart IR Remote, 7 $ but it's worth it. You can make your own perfect remote, change size, shape, color, plus it supports every device with IR, not just TVs.
Can I make combos like in Sense TV? TV+AV reciever+STB?

Hi everyone, just tried my browser on the Nvidia Shield TV and seems to work well. If your in need of a simple and easy browser to work with your remote give it a try. The browser is meant for handheld devices so dont expect too much at the moment. I am thinking to rework it to be completely compatible with Android TV and have it available on the TV store . I have only sideloaded the pro version and i am posting the pro apk for you guys free of charge to give it a try. I am planning to start development after the holidays so please be patient and in the mean time let me know what you think.
Here are the links in the Play Store to check it out:
Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aplustech.minimalbrowserxfree&hl=en
Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aplustech.minimalbrowserx&hl=en
Merry Christmas to all
Pro Version for sideload.

Thank you. I've been waiting for a worthwhile TV browser. Glad to hear your gunna be working on that. Thank you for the pro APK to sideload. I'll be giving it a shot.
This is awesome... I'm having too much fun with this device =]
Just what I was looking for. I'll give it a go, thanks.

I sideloaded Chrome and it works fine if you have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Just saying.
I think that's exactly what nankoc is saying. Having a browser where you don't need a keyboard & mouse.
Will try it, thanks.
Can we integrate adblock plus addons with it ? i want to get rid of ads.
Chrome Dev has some partial controller support but I'll give this one a go.
Thank you for letting us test the pro version. I'll try it tonight when I get home along with some other stuff I've collected.
Edit: I played around with it last night for a few minutes. I had some difficulty selecting options on the sidebars, though. I also thought they should auto-hide when not selected because they're covering up parts of web pages. If you can integrate voice search, that would be helpful, but I have no idea how difficult that would be.
Can somebody with a rooted device(assume it's needed to pull apk from fire TV/stick) please download then able to pull from device the .apk and upload so I can then load on to my firestick.
Full title JW Broadcasting......official app made by Jehovah's Witnesses.

I would also like this apk. Searched all over the Internet but can't not find it.
I also would like the apk to the official JW Broadcasting app so I can port it to my Google Nexus Player. But I would also suggest that if you would like it published in the Google Play store for Android TV, let the organization know by submitting a suggestion here:

Sorry for the lack of a direct link, I'm still too new on here.

Anyone know how to make this display correctly on my Nvidia Shield. I can only see a portion of the screen.
Unfortunately these apks don't work on Android TV. Not sure why a similar apk can't be developed for ATV
I discovered that with the control and this application you can use a mouse that allows you to move anywhere on the device
1 install de apk
2 Developer Options. Make sure ADB Debugging is ON.
3 enter de the and active service

You joined XDA today and are boosting your post count by insulting people? What's wrong with you?
Guys please keep it civil here @PuckBass and @ldeveraux. This thread is helpful to some people who need mouse control on their FireTV stick.
XDA is a helpful community no matter the knowledge or tech-savvyness. If there is a thread with information someone already knows, it is not required to read it but there for people who need it
Think you need a lower version on fire tv cube for it to work like v1.06
