Server Version#: Nvidia Shield TV (2017) 1.13.5.5332
Player Version#:
Since I have some unrelated issues with my Nvidia Shield TV (2017), I want to perform a factory reset. Is there a way to backup my server so I don’t have to rebuild my server from scratch, but pick up where I left off?
You need to move the PMS data directory on the shield to an external device first. In the settings of the Android TV app scroll down to where you can turn off/on the server and next to it you will see an option Storage Location to move it. You need to connect an external drive first to move it to.
Make sure PMS is not running at all before disconnecting the drive and doing the factory reset. Doing it while shield is off is probably best
My PMS is already on external storage, but that one is adopted. If I reset the Shield the storage has to be formated, so I guess that won’t work. I’ll try moving it to a non-adopted-drive.
If I have a PMS on a non-adopted-drive, it should be recognized after a full reset?
Shouldn’t be an issue if it is adopted or not. Even if it’s adopted you will have access to the data folder which is the critical point for the Shield. But I have to say, that I did not try it myself.
