Thank you very much, I've been trying for months. I followed everything but the last bit on the hard drive. Yes, I'm new at this.
No problem man glad i could help
Thanks mate, just retired my old WHS and this helped me connect to drives on my Win10 computer
Back here again, thanks for this video dude!
Beyond exellent, amazing and in depth tutorial. I have tried many tutorials and nothing worked except yours. Guys if you haven't been able to get into your Shield, this tutorial works 100%. Thank you so much brother man.
Glad it worked for you, I wanted to make sure everyone could get it to work =}
I was struggling to connect my shared PC folder to my shield tv. Thanks to your video I was able to solve the problem. Thanks a lot, man.
Thank you so much for this super informative and easily explained video. You've made my life so much easier getting things setup so thanks again!
You rock. I spent way too much time swearing at the computer trying to get it to stream files over the Shield.
This worked great! Thank you so much. I did have to put in \\shield then I put in the credentials and I was in. Thank you so much.
Glad I could help =}
@@GGMentor You were the only one after watching video after video on this. 😂
@@AGTxCraziex gotta earn those subscribers somehow 😂
Thank you so much, great video and easy to follow A*****
Only video that works
Thanks, that works great 👍
Is it possible to access any external storage attached to the Nvidia Shield from the Desktop PC? I ask this as I would love to be able to assign a drive letter for the external storage on the desktop PC so I can then add new items into specific folders such as movies, tv shows and so on.
Being able to do this would save having to remove the external storage and reconnecting it after adding new items to it.
I don't have any external drives to test it out, so any answers would be great.
Many thanks
Note: If you connect an external drive to expand storage when this is already enabled, you will need to turn storage access off then on again so the new drive is available on the network
It says I need permission to copy files from my pc to the Nvidia Shield. It was working before the new Nvidia update.
Any ideas? I don't see anything in Shield settings to grant permissions....
Thanks! I got stuck at the ip address, 15:20 the shield is refusing connection... bummer...
Nice video bro, can I share my pc game like this and able to play them on nvidia shield?
The Nvidia shield has a game streaming option to allow streaming from your PC already.
It's called Nvidia shield gamestream.
support-shield.nvidia.com/gamestream-user-guide/#t=NVIDIA_GameStream.htm
Thank you very much
No problem glad I could help =}
I do not have any SMB in my "turn windows features on and off"...how do I get it? windows 7
What I would like to know is how to remove a mounted network share that no longer exists.
i followed all instructions but still could not connrct to my shield box over local network.
unable to get windows to connect the shield to enter the login info
What is the best connection for this scenario. Should it be a wired connection between PC & Shield or is WiFi the best option.
Wired is always the most stable, but due to wire length, wire quality, and other issues, so sometimes the wired speed can be a lot slower then it's otherwise capable of.
Wired>wireless>bad wired>bad wireless
Thanks GGM.
Do you think the best option then would be separate ethernet cables from router to PC and router to Shield, with the PC & Shield linked via Wi-Fi.
All help greatly appreciated.
so this is not doable if the pc is wired and the shield is wireless?
Now how do I stream or launch an .exe from my Nvidia to launch a program called Launch box?
Does this mean I can transfer gigabytes of roms to the sd card in the Nvidia Shield non-pro?
Pretty Much Yeah, it Makes transferring files to the Nvidia Shield quite Easy. As well as the other way too. You can very easily watch a video you downloaded on your computer through the same connection.
Thanks for tutorial but its the same if i using windows 11 pc?
Hmmm honestly windows operating systems often work the same across versions and it might but I can't make any guarantees
I need help. My shield IP address like every other device I own
how to get write permission for the shield to the shared folder? i can only ready stuff
Are you talking about PC -> Shield or Shield -> PC? I am not sure what it is your trying to access.
@@GGMentor using a shared folder from the NAS on the shield. so i m trying to write a savefile from retroarch to the NAS folder.
So its Shield -> write -> NAS folder
I have my shield hardwired to the internet, but my laptop is on wifi will it still work
As long as your laptop and the Nvidia shield are connected to the same router yes.
Wifi and ethernet in the same house are almost always the same network.
Is there a way to find your password or reset it?
damn, there were less steps to put a man on the moon....i guess everything has to be crazy complicated!....thanks anyway!
It is crazy complicated but it works. If you follow every step I guarantee you it will work.
Do you know if the shield tv 2015 remote has a gyroscope?
I am fairly certain the answer to that question is no.
I think I actually remember some people complaining about that back when it came out.
@@GGMentor What if it works is the vibration but not the gyroscope I will have to buy another remote control.
Thanks.
4k hevc files play over network share like this without lag ? Pls make video or tell here.
If you can watch a 4K video over the internet I don't see why you couldn't do it over a Local Area Network. You might need to run ethernet cables as Wifi might not be stable enough for a stream of 4k Data. 10/100 would work but I imagine a nice 10/100/1000 ethernet connection would be ideal.
I would start with The Connection and perhaps hardware issues if your wiring isn't up to specification. Then if that is proved capable go to the Software and try different player applications on your Nvidia Shield TV
Hi when I get to log in on the network screen, it opens in a browser, stating cannot connect, unlike when you do it it prompts for user name and password for the shield, any ideas :?
Which method did you use //shield or //192.168.0.xxx?
I find that the ip address of the shield works better then the other.
You should have the ip address from the screen where you enables network option.
@@GGMentor Thank you for replying, appreciated, I tried both on windows 10 network folder, both ways opens up web browser and says cannot connect, I did use the shield ip address, puzzling
@@yakidoda ok my next suggestion would be to ensure both devices are connected the same network. And that there is nothing interfering between the two.
Do you run a firewall?
What operating system is the windows computer?
Have you done a full restart on the pc?
Open a command prompt and try to ping the ip address of the nvidia shield TV see if it returns the returns the packets.
If they are on the same network and they are able to communicate the problem lies on the computers ability to see it.
Have you performed all the steps in the video to allow the two units to communicate?
If you want contact me on Facebook "ginger gaming mentor" and we can trouble shoot the issue together
@@GGMentor Hi no checked to make sure firewall off and it was, both on same network, the strange thing is to me, when you typed //192.168.1.??? to connect in network places a box opened for you to type in name and password, when I do it it opens a browser and says cannot connect.
@@yakidoda just out of curiosity could you attempt the connection from a different computer? Maybe a laptop or something else other then the main computer you are attempting on?
This will tell us one of two things. If the connection works on a different computer it is an issue with your specific computer.
If it doesn't work on a different computer then we know it is network, or nvidia shield TV related.
After we determine where the problem is using this method we can focus our efforts more clearly.
Sigh - didn't work for me. My Shield's external drives had been working great for almost a year allowing my Win10 machine to copy files over as needed - however now it randomly stops working giving me (in Win10) this error:
Network Error
Windows cannot access \\shield\MyExtDriveA
You do not have permission to access \\shield\MyExtDriveA. Contact your network administrator to request access.
For more information about permissions, see Windows Help and Support
I figured following the steps in this vid would be pointless since I had everything already working - sadly I was right. I'm guessing I have a whole different issue. If anyone else in the same boat please reply/LMK.
External drive issues wouldn't be network related "contact your network administrator" is just a path to help you get the issue fixed not a tell tale sign of where to start.
I would start by connecting the external HDD to another device like a PC just to check and make sure it's working.
Don't format it or anything just connect it and see if it works.
If it's not working on the PC then you may need either A: a new enclosure or B: the drive may have died and need to be replaced. C: the cables may be bad or finally D: you may be dealing with bad ports on the Nvidia shield tv.
External enclosures generally need external power to work as well so make sure the power going to the enclosure is still working and connected.
Hope you get it working.

Made it to the end but can’t get shield to see PC. I used CMD whoami but not sure what user name is help lol! Maybe you could show me where else to find I changed my password 3 times I do t know!
Send me a message on facebook, ginger gaming mentor I will try to walk you through the last bit
@Always somewhere And nowhere I saw your message on messenger, I will shoot you some troubleshooting steps there.
You need to use a user which is set on your PC (check local users and groups on your PC) and for which you have set access to a shared folder on your PC.
@@tardezyx he contacted me via private messages and we were able to solve his issue.
He had windows 10 live id turned on so he was logging in with his email address. Once we turned it off it worked no problem
I have about similar issue. So when we put \\shield popup come out to enter username & password. So we put our Windows PC login details. Doesnt sound right. I put it, but Windows prompt incorrect password
Isn't SMB incredibly unsafe/unsecure?
Yes which is why I only enable internal non internet access through the firewall.
If you follow my instructions the external internet access is turned off.
Not really sure what to tell you otherwise. Take your own security precautions?
@@GGMentor sure but what's the reason to chose that over version 3?
Yep
Very good.
I have the tube shield and taking sd card out is a joke.
Now I can login via pc and what I need to do.
Cracking stuff.
Subbed.
Checkout my speedvr channel.
Network transfer is so much better then sd cards, I can't stand ad card transfers these days.
The RG350M little handheld, and the nintendo switch is all I use em for these days.
I have to use sd card with tube shield.
Don't want my pc on streaming stuff, that's why I purchased shield.
My pc pulls a lot of juice with a rtx 3090 in it.
@@speedvr829 I mean unless you are playing a game the 3090 should be in a low clock power state. The cards generally don't stay clocked at those high speeds/wattages when not running a game.
Followed everything to the T and my Nvidia is saying connection failed!
I've got a connection from the PC seeing the NVIDIA, but the NVIDIA isn't connecting to the PC. I've got the correct login name from .cmd and changed my password 🔑. I'm noticing something abnormal about the Windows 10 file sharing when I went to properties/sharing...
Fixed it!
I’m such a Boomer my system still can’t connect
pron, we play pron
why is this shit so complicated. i want to run plex media server on the shield, and then access my movies on my nas.
Because network devices are often non standard. One is windows, one is Linux, one is android, one is version 2 the other is version 1.5, one requires authentication and the other doesn't and a thousand other stupid things.
I remember back in the day you had to have a password on your windows account or it wouldn't allow network transfers because no password was "unsecure".
It's all a giant mess
using kodi and NFS its not complicated. but youre crude
Almost everything with the NVIDIA is complicated... one day it works, the next day it doesn't. They fix 3 things and break 6 more. Now Google's putting their spin on it. I prefer base Android with a little salt and pepper. Not Nvidia and Google with all their crap!
Hmmm using the 11 yr old SMB1 smh good idea if you want some ransomware like WannaCry , Hope there not surfing the net with these pc's hard to beleave all these ppl want to weaken there networks to shar files with Nvidia Shield smh Hmm i guess to lazy to use usb thumb driver lol It even tells you On the Nvidia site Not Recommended: Enabling SMBv1 compatible server on your PC
I only provide instructions to allow smb1 from internal local area connections.
External internet connections is still not allowed.
Unless it's a laptop you are taking to a bad wifi or you have a buncha unknowns on your house wifi you should be fine.
Besides, it wouldn't work without it. I know because I tried everything
This is all completely unnecessary and way too complicated. Much better version..... Use FX file explorer as your file browser on the shield. Add a new windows SMB Network share. Point it to the IP address of your computer, don't even have to password it if it's on your local network and you're not worried about others abusing it...
On your Windows PC simply enable any folder you want to share as a shared folder.... That's it. You can right click for those options quite easily and it's done in about 5 seconds.
True this might not allow you to easily browse everything from your Windows PC on your Nvidia Shield but honestly who needs to do that anyway? I use this to easily enable any folder on Windows I need to grab files from because I want to move video onto my Nvidia Shield ssd. It enables two-way file sending between the shield and the Windows PC. Just share whatever folders you need to access to quick and easy and then you can control all the transfers and file moving from the Nvidia Shield FX file explorer Network share window.
Great for people who might have some external hard drives on a Windows PC full of video perhaps. Maybe you have less storage space on your Shield but perhaps a single SSD connected?
This does require the pro version of FX file explorer but it's only like two or three bucks and that file brother is exceptionally good. Totally worth it. I actually unlocked the pro version myself using Google survey rewards. 15 cents here, 20 cents there. Before you know it it's easily unlocked...
Too complex!!!!
