Great news,
It turns out thanks to an article I happened to come across led me to the fix.
My problem appeared to be pms would not stay running on a new shield tv pro.
However the root problem was something not showing in any logs that i could find.
The pms was not publishing itself to plex.tv
From this FAQ Article
- Reset shield to default
- Updated the PMS app
- Enabled PMS in the client app on the shield.
- Using a browser i went to
http://<ip of shield>:32400/web - Confirm the shield server appears in authorized devices.
- On shield move PMS and Plex client app to user accessible storage.
- Open the preferences.xml
Mine was under:
\\<shield IP>\Internal\Android\data\com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb\Plex Media Server\preferences.xml - Stop PMS service on the shield
- Remove the entries noted in the Faq article.
- This is important add PublishServerOnPlexOnlineKey=“1” this published my server to plex.tv , save file.
- Start PMS service on the shield.
After that i was able to manage PMS on the shield, add libraries and so on.
Last thing i did was update my Plex client app on the shield and life is happy.
