Interesting. I installed it, and I have no problem getting 4K videos. Playback seems fine.

I can't figure out how to make it do a 10s skip forward / backward that you do on phone/tablet by tapping on the left or right side of the screen. I tried all the buttons on the shield's game controller after not being able to skip on my remote. I can change the focus to the timeline, and skip that way, but its not as nice as a 10s skip.

I think it's mostly the subscriptions I have/the content happens to be 1080p.

Skipping ahead/forward works out of the box on my harmony remote, long press on the <- or -> button.

I'm not sure what it would be on the default shield remote (mine is broken).
