It works well for me on Android TV with Nvidia Shield. At one point I noticed after a Newpipe upgrade I couldn't get the cursor to go down to the list of videos. So I downgraded for a couple of weeks. Then when the next version came out I tried it and it was fine again.
One weird thing I noticed was that I used to be able to get a mouse style cursor with the right stick, but that stopped working at some point. Not sure if the change was NewPipe or OS level, but it's still manageable.
If you have USB ports you can always try other types of inputs. Aside from plain keyboard/mouse, there are a bunch of interesting options these days.
- morrbo 6y agoI use Smart YouTube TV on the shield, same thing but works a lot better with the controller and tvs in general
- drewg123 6y agoI have a shield, and I generally just use the TV remote controlling the shield via HDMI CEC. Maybe that's why it doesn't work well for me. I'll have to try it again.
- nonplus 6y agoShield user here, as of 0.19.5 most things work via a Logitech harmony, so I assume most remotes work at this point. The pause / unpause buttons sometimes result in the UI getting into a weird state.
- unleashit 6y agoYeah that could be it. I use the gamepad or sometimes an air mouse. Both work fine. My only gripe is Nvidia doesn't let you put side loaded apps on the homescreen.
