I know that mobile devices have the ability to download Plex content to watch offline, but the Nvidia Shield TV does not have this option. Since the Pro version takes USB storage and the standard version takes microSD card storage I don’t see why this isn’t an option. I think it would be really nice to have when vacationing somewhere for the holidays and don’t want to transcode certain movies/shows or worry about internet issues with where you’re going.

Is this something that can be implemented or is there a reason this hasn’t happened yet?

There’s already an existing feature suggestion discussing an option to download media to Android TV streaming boxes (incl. the Shield). I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

> Please enable the sync feature found in the android mobile app on the android tv app version of Plex. I’ve seen hundreds of posts online about people asking if this is possible. I have an Nvidia shield that I take with me travelling, camping and good internet connections are not always available. The ability to sync some of my content would make things a lot easier - I really don’t understand why the feature would not exist on android tv in the first place? I want to buy a Plex Pass for this…

Unless I’ve missed some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
