Server Version#: 1.31.1.6782 Hi, There is no update for Plex server on Shield more than one month… Is it normal? I’m on public release channel

Don’t feel special - Shield seems to have missed out on the last couple of beta updates as well! :slight_smile: I have seen this happen a few times in the past so I wouldn’t worry, better a good release than a buggy one given the flakiness of the Shield ecosystem and the difficulties in “rolling b…

Seconded on this. Still on 1.31.1.6782. @anon18523487 or @OttoKerner please confirm if you may.

@anon18523487 @OttoKerner Looks like beta 1.32.1.6999 has popped up for me this morning, so probably “crisis averted” :slight_smile: It WOULD be nice if in future the beta release announcements noted if certain devices WEREN’T getting a particular build for whatever (perfectly valid) reason. I kno…

I wouldn’t recommend to my most hated enemy running a serious Plex server on anything except a dedicated computer. Running on appliances like a NAS or a Shield hugely restricts hardware power and easy of troubleshooting. I’d just do it as proof of concept and then move to a machine.

@R01k I would certainly concur that in mid-2023 that were I to be starting a new Plex Server build it would NOT be on a Shield TV, especially now the it’s the “poverty pack” 16GB model or nothing. But as a bit of historical perspective, I purchased a 500GB “Pro” model in early-ish 2017 and upgraded…

I join your feedback. Shield is a good server to stream but without 4K transcoding. With 4K it’s slow, buggy and poor quality. 1080p is ok ! For music, I have another Plex Server on my Synology, dedicated to have Sonic !!! My NAS doesn’t transcode anything in video, so I cannot use it for movies. …

[image] Nick0: For music, I have another Plex Server on my Synology, dedicated to have Sonic !!! That’s actually a really good workaround, has gotten me thinking - thanks for sharing! And yes, I have very little 4k media as yet so 1080p does me fine. I know that will change rapidly in the ne…

As far as I’ve seen still it’s not practical to transcode 4K. If required, the best option is to reencode the movie manually and save it as another version. Back when when my TV didn’t support HDR letting Plex transcode 4K for it was the best way to ruin a movie night. My workaround was to direct pl…
