Hello Mr. Troypoint,
I hope you and yours had a safe and sane 4th. First, I would like to thank you for all the time and energy you give us when presenting the valuable information you afford us. Now for the question of the day, week, month, or quite possibly the year. In the statement, you made above, “This page includes affiliate links……..” that if we used it, you could possibly benefit from it. Is there a way to use your link or code when I purchase my personal stuff from Amazon that could also possibly benefit you? Just curious.
Thanks Again,
Cal
Hi Cal,

Hi Jim, see this for everything buffering related – https://troypoint.com/how-to-stop-buffering-on-firestick/
Unfortunately the update has broken the Button Mapper settings. You have to unistall and reinstall. Even once that has been done, you still have a problem with the Netflx button. It will do as mapped, but still tries to load Netflx, or take you to the play store to install it. Not everyone wants Netflx, and it is about time Nvidia left our remotes alone.
I stopped my Nvidia Shield from updating due to all the issues raised from the last update. Will this new update install if the previous version was not installed or will it override it? My Shield is working great and I don’t want any issues.
