So I went and bought a Shield TV based on threads from here…
Updated it to 5.1 etc etc.
Android v7
Installed Kodi v17 from the Play store.
Added advancedsettings.xml for MySQL (Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/)
Most of the art will not load, if I try and play anything it just times out :<
Android TV with Kodi works fine, windows based clients work fine too.
MySQL server is 5.5.54 – shares via smb
The Shield has a DHCP IP, would a static IP help?
Baffled! Any help is appreciated before I check on a refund – lol
