Sorry to sound stupid how would I set up the SMB share at system level? Didn't seem to support Dolby Atmos sound though, but I assume that's an issue with Kodi as well? I could live without DV as long as it works without a hitch otherwise! I set uo an Emby server and it was able to find that. I'm happy to use Kodi but found it didn't seem to find my PC with Plex.

If you can suggest how to would be grateful. Hi thanks for the response! I believe I have checked the PC and Shield are linking into the gigabit network, but am happy to take advice on the best way to double check as could be the case I havent done it properly for some reasons. It is probably easier to just use Kodi and point but I am guessing you specifically want to use plex due to its DV support. This way all the overhead is on the shield and the PC is only used for serving the files. Enable the shield Plex server function and set up as you would if the server was still on the PC. Then, on the nvidia shield, mount the SMB share at system level.

I have another way though that you can try as you have the pro and not the tube.Basically you are moving the plex server from your PC to the shield, setup your media folders on the PC as an SMB share. Have you have checked both the shield and PC are actually linking at gigabit in the network Settings for each? TBH if you are not transcoding then any PC or NAS built in the last 10 years can handle it, the only concern is network performance along with disk read and writes.Īssuming everything is gigabit including any router/switches and all hardwired then you should be fine. Your PC should be enough to handle plex with 4k hevc files. Obviously I'd want to avoid transcoding as much as possible but it's a consideration. Is the 918+ the way to go? I'd read transcoding with 4K sources are inconsistent. I've changed various over and the issue persists. The other minor issue I have is if I stream a 4K remux with Dolby Atmos the Atmos logo appears as it should at the start it will then randomly appear at points through the film. My CX is simply used as a display while the Shield and server PC do the heavy lifting. Just to clarify I have PC as Plex or Emby server (as I tried both to see if there was any difference, there wasn't) feeding my Emby or Plex client on Shield TV 2019 Pro which connects into my LG CX. Its not that recent but has an overclocked in 2600k running at 4.5ghz, 32gb of RAM and a 1060 6gb? I then use the Shield TV 2019 Pro as a client connected to my LG CX. I'm assuming my Server PC would be powerful enough though.
