I’m using Nvidia Shield. I would like to read the about info such as the description of the tv show I’ve downloaded locally and I’m streaming.  
With almost every device a quick up or info button will say something like…. Bob plays practical joke on Dave while trying to help Mary with her homework…. etc…  
But I cannot find a way without stopping and exiting am I missing something…??

Plex doesn’t have an info overlay like that

Correct, you can see all the metadata when stopped.
