So just got the shield experience 9 upgrade and my plex media server has ‘vanished’ Shield experience 9 upgrade, server dissapeared Now, the app settings page is blank for affected users. The Android 11 update for NVIDIA Shield TV has caused the disappearance of the Plex server for many. NVIDIA Shield TV Plex and other apps broken on Android 11 According to multiple reports, many users are facing issues after updating ( 1, 2, 3, 4).Īmong the issues that Android 11 brought to NVIDIA Shield TV devices are Plex server disabled, multiple apps not working properly, and broken Android TV-Home Assistant integration/CEC feature. However, it seems that the first rollout of the update is not going as well as the company expected. It brought a host of new features and improvements, even to the older models. Recently, NVIDIA Shield TV devices started receiving an update to Android 11.

Original story (published on January 17, 2022) follows: I know these questions are probably dumb, but I'm looking to buy it specifically for this purpose so it not working as I expect would be pretty dumb too.New updates are being added at the bottom of this story……. is the Plex Pass required with this setup to get hardware transcoding? Would the hardware be strong enough to transcode, for example, two 1080p streams at the same time? I guess that's the 'non Pro' version? Is the one I've linked the 2019 Pro version?ģ. Note: Plex Media Server is not available on the 2019 “tube” model NVIDIA SHIELD. Is it supported by the linked model (Which is, again, 'Nvidia Shield TV Pro'), Plex support page says That Plex server could then serve media to some Chromecasts, but itself would be directly plugged into one of the TVs.ĭoes that seem like something that works? The media source would be a NAS on the same network. I'm looking to buy the Nvidia Shield TV Pro (I'm explicit about the naming on purpose) to use as a Plex server. Some articles call it Shield, some Shield TV, not sure if it's the same product, etc. I've read / seen quite a few articles / videos about the topic, but I don't know enough about the topic so I'm asking here.
