Basic Plex streaming over your network is supported free, but some features like remote streaming and offline caching require a $40 yearly Plex Pass subscription. Nvidia hasn’t specified the release date for the 3.2 update, but it shouldn’t be more than a week or two. That’ll be great for loading video onto the server. The Plex update also includes the ability to manage your Shield’s storage over a local network using your computer. I have friends logging in remotely using my Plex media server on the shield, seems the max amount of simultaneous streams are 2.I upload content from my desktop to the Shield onto the external hard. Make sure you have fast hard drive to make use of the USB 3.0 connection. Even if you don’t buy expandable storage, 500GB is a good amount of space to get started. My media is on external 2.5 3TB hard drive. The $300 Shield is now the cheapest way to get a usable Plex box up and running. It has support for hardware-accelerated video transcoding in H.264, MPEG2, and HEVC. The Shield is based on the Tegra X1 SoC, a quad-core 64-bit ARM chip with a 256-core Maxwell GPU. Plex says the Shield implementation is possible thanks to the powerful hardware Nvidia used. Some people simply use their main computer as a Plex server, but it has to remain online all the time to work.
Check to make sure there isnt a pending update for Plex Media Server. This is a cool feature because in the past heavy Plex users would have to build reasonably powerful media servers to make their libraries streamable - transcoding does take some horsepower. First, open the Google Play store and navigate to My Apps.
