You can try backing out, clear the app data from the device settings and try again. Otherwise, I am still stumped. It's very rare that I run into this issue and I can't reproduce it reliably on the Shield.
When you import, you might need to give it some time to analyze the media. You could try putting the app in the background and coming back to it so it forces the home screen to reload. Android 11 and later can cause some issues with file permissions. Generally, media files have more relaxed restrictions, but if Android hasn't identified files as media files, they might have more restrictive permissions.

I'm stumped too. I've tried everything. However, I have discovered a workaround. If I run JRiver for Android and start with streaming from something like 'Radio Paradise', I can then go to my laptop, which is the host for my media library. Media Center on my laptop then shows 'SHIELD Android TV' under Playing Now. I can select it and then play anything in my library to my SHIELD.

That's like some kind of SSDP problem.

You really shouldn't have to play anything to get it to show up as a DLNA zone. Android does have some restrictions with apps in the background, but if the app is in the foreground, it should show up as a DLNA zone. We can do some testing on this to see if it's not working properly. This might need some changes on the Shield.

There were a couple of changes to how Android handles loading libraries. Try the next build and let me know if it works any better. It should be posted today or tomorrow, but it might take a few days before it clears Google's review. Just note, you should clear the app data before trying.
jctcom:
Is this new build available yet?
Would like to know I am working with something that might work before I start fighting with it again.
Carl.
