same issues with Kodi 17.6 on Shield pro 2017, all addons give me a message can't access network and won't start.
can't access repos. even install from zip fails as there is no network access for Kodi at all, because of permissions issues.
damn, I'm lost without Realizer working....
also can't access to the data folder with ex explorer, fx explorer, that is the main problem, which causing those issues for Kodi, can't access network.
lesson learned, although I think it will be the last update for my model anyway.
Nvidia, what a bunch of amatures....

Wonder if any non Nividia devices running Android 11 + Kodi are having similar issues?
I installed the hotfix, but nothing has really changed , scraping my media folders locks up or moves super slowly have had to restart ShieldTV multiple times after Kodi lockup. A source folder I removed from Kodi access still shows being scanned. Many of the movie thumbnails there before are missing now. Just redid Kodi and my entire media library a week ago, had everything dialed in....

I was told by Nvidia staff to uninstall and reinstall Kodi to be able to read the file in the external drives connected to my Shield, but what will happen to my scrapped movies library, installed addons, skin settings? Will I loose them? Is there a way to backup everything and restore?

Does anyone know how to fix the voice search in Kodi 19.3 after installing the Shield 9.0 (+Hotfix) update?
Previously if you opened up Global Search and then held down the select button on the remote, the voice search box would open up, allowing you to do voice to text.
However now holding down the select button brings up the voice search box, but it instantly closes. It keeps opening and closing.
Anyone know of a fix?

Also make sure that you can write to the location where you need to restore your profile data. Currently I cannot write to the USB attached SSD that I have installed on my Shield as internal/adopted storage and where all my Kodi files are. The hotfix did restore the ability to see the files from my Windows system but I still can't write to it which worked just fine prior to the Nvidia update.
Update - I can write to other folders in the USB attached SSD drive connected to my Shield just not any of the directories in Kodi. According to Nvidia support this is a “feature” of Android 11…🤬 my guess is that this permissions “feature” is what is causing many of the addons to not work correctly.

I was experiencing several issues after Nvidia’s Shield update to v 9.0.0 of their sw which is based on Android 11. For me it broke 2 specific things when I'm listening to music (I'm using Layout 7 in Latts MQ8 Matrix Mod but my guess is that other Layouts are effected as well). Here are the two items that were no longer working:
1 - Scrolling thru artist images as background using Artist Slideshow (only 1 image displays).
2 - The discography display that scrolls thru the artist discography in the lower right of the screen no longer appears (not sure which specific addon is responsible for that).
I was able to resolve both of these issues. Hopefully this will help others. I went into the Artist Slideshow addon configuration under storage for artist images and artist information custom locations I switched to NFS (was using SMB) to point to the NAS location where I keep that info. Also if you are using a fallback image location switch that to NFS as well. For me this looks to have resolved the issues I was having as listed.
