BUG: 1.7.6 on Nvidia Shield stops recording after few minutes

I’m getting only between 1 and 5 minutes recording of the beginning of any programme. Been like this since 1.7.

How can I downgrade to 1.6 on Shield?

Anyone else getting fed up being used as a guinea pig by a company that can’t/won’t test it’s software properly before release?

I’ve worked in the software industry for 37 years. This isn’t beta quality software. I’d even hesitate to call it alpha quality. All Plex seem interested in is adding new features to excite the investors, rather than actually making anything work to delight their customers.

John pointed out how to download a previous version under the following discussion “Issues with recording the 3rd and 4th shows on versions of the > 1.5.6.3790”

Not so easy to downgrade on the Shield. You need to uninstall all update on PMS. That will also flush the database and metadata. Then, in security, you need to permit “install from unknown source”. You need the apk and install it. Then you need to recreate your libraries and redownload the metadata.

I don’t think the method posted by john will work to get the apk. You can get it from apkmirror if you trust it.

I have issues too with Plex DVR and nvidia shield. PMS crashes often wihen recording.
