I don’t know the differences because a Shield will never darken my door.
I do have a FireTV Plex hasn’t been able to develop an app for - since I’ve had it.
Android and Plex, apparently, are in a Mexican Standoff situation making developing an app for Android that’s worth a dam impossible.
All I know is the app on that FireTV is an embarrasment - and I’m afraid Plex is actually proud of themselves.
If you want to scramble to the store to drop over $200 on an app that doesn’t even have a list of actors, much less their picture, and hasn’t for as long as that feature request above has been alive - and ignored - go right ahead.
I know which app and device I’ll be using - I’ve used the best already - can’t go back now - no matter what I have to do - it’s worth it.
For Plex to do anything on that Shield they have to work hand in hand with Nvidea - like if an astronaut had to change a light bulb on Mars - with a robot - from Earth - with instructions relayed with a CB Radio.
My UNO App on my Roku gets an update RIGHT NOW if necessary - and anyone thinking an update right now would be a great idea - probably has a FireTV with no actor list, or picture - for 6 YEARS!
Here you go - this ‘update’ is less than 36 hours old and before that one is able to walk - there will be another one - 'cause I’ve got two bug reports on file - and under investigation as we speak - the repair of same to hit this update thread soon - and I don’t mean a few years from now:
Armed with that info you can rush right out and buy a Shield if you want to.
Be sure to hold back about $70 so you can buy a Roku - then in a few minutes toss that $200 boat anchor in the closet. Once you use the Roku - it’s over.
Plex has lost the war 'cause they just can’t compete with a user that’s seen the light and can’t stop from wanting to walk into it.
