I have a new Nvidia Shield running primarily as a Plex server (“Shield Android TV”) with all updates. My Plex data is on a NAS. Everything works well. Fixed IP addresses and hardwired. The problem is that after a few hours not being used, the Plex server goes to sleep and cannot be woken up by a…

Set the power controls on the Shield, in it’s settings, to never turn off. Otherwise, it sleeps after the factory set 2hrs.

I’m having the same issue as well, will need to pull the logs but why won’t the server just restart itself instead of just stopping.

My Plex Server is also sleeping after less than an hour on my Nivida Shield. It will not wake up without directly using the Shield with its remote, etc. There is no point to having a Plex Server running on the Shield if it ever sleeps and can’t be woken up with access from anywhere. An direction …

Any update to this? I am having the same issue

I’m experiencing the same problem myself. Looking for any useful advice on this topic…
