Shield TV & IPVanish

Hi
I wondered if anyone can help – Kodi Version is 16.

Running the IPVanish app and Kodi on my Android phone works like a dream.

On the Shield, sadly a different matter.

Once I’ve loaded the IPVanish app (which I sideloaded) and connect. I then return to the home screen to load Kodi. With the VPN connected Kodi just hangs on a blank screen. Disconnect the VPN and load Kodi from the home screen and it works like a charm.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
