I’ve just tested it, and the HW transcode is working correctly with this version.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I’m looking forward to the issue being resolved in future versions.
Good luck.
Edit 1 :
It appears that the version mismatch between the Plex server, which has been downgraded to 1.32.1.6999, and the client (10.0.0.3954) is causing a bug on the Shield TV client.
When you press “More” in the general view, the client consistently crashes.
Therefore, it’s impossible to add new libraries in the general view. This bug is not present on the Mobile or Web client.
Should we consider rolling back the client version?
Edit 2 :
I just conducted thorough tests, and it seems that the Android TV Beta version of the Plex client is the source of the infamous “More” button bug.
Therefore, I exited the beta program and rolled back to version 9.31.0.3817.
In this version, I haven’t encountered any issues with the “More” button.
However, with Plex Server version 1.32.1.6999, the Plex server couldn’t start after a fresh install and a Shield restart.
So, I was forced to upgrade to version 1.32.5.7431.
Plex client version 9.31.0.3817 and Plex Server 1.32.5.7431 on SHIELD at least provide stable functionality, even if HW transcoding no longer works. This is a step back for me.
