Try clearing the library in the settings on the Shield. You'll need to add the remote library again. I assume you're trying to connect to MC on another device.
What version is the Shield? Is it up to date?

I had gone to the Shield settings, selected the JRiver app, cleared data and cleared cache - so I think that's the library was cleared out by doing that.
I just updated the Shield to 9.2 over the weekend. I believe it's the 2019 Shield Pro hardware.
Yes, I am trying to connect to a remote library at this point, and this popup is asking me for the credentials for that server. But my phone (Pixel 9), does not "see" my Shield on the network using the Android TV app (I assume this is what is meant in the JRiver popup to "use the keyboard on your mobile device"). With other apps, a keyboard on screen shows up that I can then move around with my remote.

Weird. It works on my 2015 Shield. I assume you have tried clicking ok on the remote in the text field to try to bring up the keyboard? Also, do you have the Android TV control app running on your phone?

Ah! No, I had not clicked OK first. The cursor shows as active (blinking) when you're in that field, so it didn't dawn on me that I had to click OK to bring up the keyboard.
I do have Android TV on my phone, which is what I thought the subtext was telling me to use. But for some reason it no longer finds my Sheild.
I've connected to my server again, but the notes that I presented here still apply:

1) i open the app. 40 seconds later (after waiting on a grey screen with no feedback), it closes. I reopen it, it appears ok
2) I go to the about screen to see what version I'm running. It crashes. I do this again. It crashes again.
3) I open it again, 40 seconds later, it opens.
4) the poster icons for video are very large and scaled versions of low res images. It looks bad. ADDED: I only see 5 posters across and 1 and 2 1/2s vertically. I feel like this needs to be zoomed out by a factor. Or give me the preference to set it based on screen resolution.
5) I select a show, 5 second delay until it shows me the episodes.
6) I start a show and I cannot pick the audio track
7) I cannot select the subtitle track ADDED: I think I should be able to select not just on/ off, but font size, color, timing, etc. These are things that VLC lets you control and I think that's very nice.

Added UI/UX things:
- The Play/Pause button on my remote (Harmony) doesn't do anything.
- The OK button brings up the controls, but then I have to click OK again to act on the Play/Pause button.
