Plex server, player and Shield have worked fine for years. With latest Android OS the problems started. Now, after server parches and new releases (I am running latest versions of everything) the server crashes regularly, I have to reboot Shield to get out of an eternal freeze. I Have tried everything I hace found on forums, to no avail. I think Plex server for Android TV is simple non functional. Any ideas?

There’s a big thread on this topic.

I believe only those that use external storage are having problems.

It’s so weird, my Shield Pro 2019 has been working perfectly without any disconnection issues for over a month now and it’s connected to a 6TB External Drive, not powered. Whereas, my Shield Pro 2017 just won’t show server. I just use the app to connect to main server 2019 which is not a big deal for me
