No, they don't. Those public addresses you're seeing are two different VPN where the VPN clients are running on a gateway at the edge of my network, not on the devices themselves. Therefore, talking to eachother on the local network is not blocked by some firewall or something. Treat it as if I had two different ISP that I use for different devices I guess.

Hi Koying
I enrolled to beta testing few days ago when I go to the app page in Google play store I'm registered as beta tester
But version is still 3.8-0, is that OK or it should be 3.8.1 ?
I still haven't received beta update on my shield tv

No clue. Cosmoxl got it, so it's there.
OTOH, I only uploaded it 3h ago, so it might take a little while to roll out.

If you see stuttering problems try turning off advanced timing for AMC surface in settings>video>acceleration. I think for me I like the un-advanced timing better even though advanced is supposed to work on the shield.

Since last complaining about the stuttering I disabled automatic frame rate switching and things were working fine (apart from having to manually change the shield frame rate for different sources). But I saw this post and some quick testing last night looked like this solved my stuttering issues too. Auto framerate and resolution switching is back on and can't see any glitches or stuttering.

If you are in the beta test then you should test things with advanced timing on since it's supposed to be fixed now.

Beta updated to 3.8.1

I also created an alpha version which (hopefully) should fix the TrueHD dropouts.
To join the alpha, you have to join the Google Group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/mrmc-alpha with the google adress you bought MrMC with, above enrolling as a tester at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/tv.mrmc.mrmc

Not 100% sure that will work, tbh. Just ping if you don't receive the alpha version, which should have a 809b6bf hash.

Thanks, I will see if I get it, I appreciate the quick effort to resolve this issue, if it is fixed, I can keep the shield, i just couldnt sit on the edge of my seat everytime i play 4k movie with atmos wondering if it would drop out. If it is working, I love the shield and especially mrmc otherwise.

I was able to download the beta, but I dont seem to have the alpha.

I assume you made sure the address you used to join the group is the same as the one you use on Google Play?

PS it can take days to activate, from.what I read
