Maybe an update from Android or Nvidia, or Plex broke it, but most features no longer work on Nvidia Shield. I can do plex mix’s with music and they seem to work just fine other than the artist’s background image being wrong or lagging most of the time.
My main gripe right now is that I can’t play movies or TV shows. I’ve tried optimizing the video files but it usually plays 1-2 seconds of the file before Plex crashes and I get a message saying the app and server need to be restarted. I think this problem started about a month ago after a plex server update. Before this drastic crash it was stuttering heavily on the playback, maybe it would play for 60-120 seconds then start dragging, you’d have to pause to let the buffer build up. I’ve even tested this on my computer that hosts the files and I get the same crappy performance, or its flat out unwatchable through the browser.
I’ve also noticed since that update Plex struggles to scan new files in searchable folders, ie putting a new movie file in the movie directory it won’t show up without a full rescan of the directory.
Shield is hard wired to the LAN on a cat6 line. Everything used to play and work fine on the computer and Shield maybe two months ago. Any thoughts?
