Come on Zwift, many people have been waiting for official support on the Nvidia Shield TV platform for several years already. It should be unnecessary for people to use work-arounds to install Zwift on the Nvidia Shield TV like today. It should instead be possible to install Zwift directly from the play store on the Nvidia Shield TV. Menu control should be provided by both the wireless remote and/or the gaming controller sold seperately. If you do not add official support for Zwift on the Nvidia Shield TV anytime soon I will seriously consider to terminate my membership.

So I’m not sure if it’s been said already but my 2015 Shield is working great with Zwift but I use the game controller to operate Zwift, works great you have a pointer to select stuff and also I bought a cheap ANT+ dongle and that pulls everything in perfect. Wahoo turbo, Garmin heart rate and cadence sensor. Might help someone.

Zwift please, please, make the app compatible with android TV Nvidia Shield !

They have the app on mobile phones, ipad, macbook and apple tv which have lower performance capabilities than the nvidia shield. Its almost 2022 something needs to be sorted out.

I’m starting to wonder if anyone on the Zwift development team is even bothering to check the forums ? The NVIDIA Shield TV would be an awesome 4K device for Zwift, yes we can ‘hack’ Zwift onto the device, but the last time I did that, it looked like 720p to me.

They do check the forums but only reply common topics, I don’t understand why they aren’t officially releasing the app to the nvidia shield.

A couple of years ago Zwift representatives were saying this: [image] What Android TV box? General Discussion We’ve got word from HQ that there will be proper Android TV Support in the next few months. All the details we have so far is the little bit said by Will in this post, but there should be more news in the future! [image] Game Update Dec 2019 Zwift Game Hello Omaru, We are planning to properly support Android TV early next year. We have a UI refresh coming to Apple TV, and we intend to leverage that for Android TV. Thanks your patience, and for supporting Zwift! Ride On, Will Team Zwift I guess it was canned along with the new UI for Apple TV.

Hello everyone The subject is old (2019). Today (December 2021), can we use Zwift with the Nvidia Shield TV Pro as easily as by downloading the application from the Google Store?

No. Android TV is not a supported platform.

Another plug to add Shield TV Pro support. Sideloading is a hassle, every month or so I need to redownload and install, at least let me update automatically…

Latest Zwift update broke the ability of Zwift on my Shield TV Pro to see my Garmin Tacx NEO smart trainer. Any idea how to fix it?
