Your Plex Pass is associated to your account, not a server on a specific device.
If you have a separate server on the Shield, you can link that to the same account and your Plex Pass will enable the additional features.
If you want to move/migrate an existing server from Windows to the Shield, that’s going to be a bit more tricky. It’ll be possible to keep some of the configuration/data, but it’ll probably be considered to be a new server (e.g. requiring to recreate any earlier sharing).
Thank you for the reply,
Question would you recommend using the Nvidia as the server and let it do the trans coding or make the Nvidia a client and point to it a PC as the Plex server ?
Thanks again
That’s a resounding “No”.
The Shield is a quite decent Plex client. But as a Plex server it is only sufficient for very small media collections or as a beginner’s device.
The lack on internal storage, and RAM of the Shield are quite limiting factors.
The closed-off nature of Android as an operating system makes it very hard to do any maintenance, device movement, or data backups.
If you are accustomed to Windows, a mini PC running Windows will do much better for you.
Thank you for the advice - much appreciated
