Problem with RAR vfs add-on since last Kodi update

0 Upvotes

Since Kodi recently updated on my Shield TV, the RAR addon is not working properly.

When trying to load.a RARed video, I get spinning disks and nothing plays. I then need to reboot the Shield. Once in a while, the video will actually take forever then start playing.

Anyone know of a fix? TIA.

Edit: I deleted the Kodi cache and data under Apps, unistalled and reinstalled Kodi and this did not fix it.

Home Assistant Android Remote TV integration broke on Shield Pro

3 Upvotes

My Home Assistant Android Remote TV integration broke recently on my HA instance and I can no longer integrate it with my Shield Pro. The HA integration asks for the IP of the Shield Pro, but the cursor just spins and it never connects. I tried rebooting my Shield Pro and tried looking in the Developer Options, but I can't find anything obvious that was disabled.

I was previously using the integration to switch my LG TV to the HDMI 3 source when my Shield Pro was turned on. Then, when I put the Shield Pro to sleep, I had another automation that switched my LG TV back to the Cable TV source (HDMI 1) and re-sent the sound through my soundbar, since LG TVs default to TV speaker sound.

With the integration broken, the automations are no longer working. Could the most recent Shield Experience update have broken it?
