[misleading headline?] Nvidia Shield is getting Auro 3D audio support, full-screen ads
We have good news and bad news
EDIT:
So according to this thread, this is a Google related change and not Nvidia?
In which case, similar to the banner issue from a previous update, you can get a different launcher (see comments for FLauncher) to avoid it

This is what I’m using. It’s kinda ugly but totally ad-free and does what I want but not one bit more. I installed flauncher, connected to the shield with network adb, disabled the leanback launcher, then hit the home button on the remote. Easy peasy, and much better than remapping buttons IMO
Same for me.
In the current version it was already advertising / recommending shows and movies too me I have no interest in. I just want my plex content and that's it. A custom launcher is great for that.
Same here, one other improvement I would recommend is remapping the Netflix button to something less annoying/more useful in case you press it accidentally. If you have Hue lights, you could make it toggle your lights with this app for example.
Nice find!
I'll probably remap it to plex though, since my TVs ambilight already takes care of hue.
Would I need to side load this on shield?
You can follow the documentation on the git repo, where both methods are described.
