Shield experience 9 upgrade, server dissapeared

Thanks for the information! I can’t get Vobsub to work on the Shield interface whatever I do. It works though on my pc interface and on my telephone interface, just not on the Shield.

In fact I found out that vobsub are working, just that they are produced with a huge font size and when not able to fit in the screen it’s not shown.
I think best to make a specific topic/big report for that.

Thanks again. I created a new topic as you suggested:

Just for anyone wondering. I just updated the shield to 9.1 , updated the Plex App and the Plex Media Server. It wasn’t working at first but i left it a while (around 10-20 mins) as per some advice id seen above and its all working.

Thanks! Do you mind dropping by again in a couple of days and letting everyone know if it still works without any issues?

For those still on 8.23 - I have a 2017 Shield Pro with 2 attached USB drives that store my collection. I updated from 8.23 to 9.1.

Upgrade went smoothly, and happy to report after 48+ Hours, my server has been functioning perfectly with no issues at all.

Still working, do have to add i turn my shield off, i only put it on when i need it. So its not on all the time.

Installed the newest update that was dropped a day or 2 ago. Happy to say that my transfer speeds are better. Shield seems quicker.

Yes, just copy the “dated” backup back to the main folder, remove the dates. Reboot the device and let PMS catch up with the changes.

Did the same, waited until now with 8.23 and did the 9.1 update. Took about 30 min and rebooted 2 times. Did take ~20 min to come up so be patient. Running solid for 24 hours.

It’s been weeks that I did not open Plex at all (testing how emby+kodi were working).
Launching Plex now I’m back with the server not up… With server 1.27.2 and client 9.5.0
I’ll be looking again here for tips on how to resurrect it but I’m really surprised by the server part of the client setting being yet again empty …
All on shield 9.1 that have problems with vod apps when anything is connected to USB ports…

I’m still running 8.23. Is it safe to upgrade now?

I would advise that you stick with 8.23 for now. While Plex issues seem to be mostly solved, many people are reporting issues with CEC power on/off with 9.1. Some are reporting issues running YouTube etc.

Is it safe to update Plex without updating the shield? Or should I leave them both alone?

I’m on latest Plex on shield that hasn’t been updated. All working well

Edit: I don’t use the shield as a server so I can’t speak to that.
