What’s more, the Nvidia Shield TV delivers 4K artificial intelligence (AI) upscaling for 1080p and 720p content. Sporting 4K UHD video output with HDR10 and Dolby Vision, the Shield TV pumps out buttery-smooth ultra high definition visuals. Boasting an ultra-powerful Tegra X1+ processor, 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of onboard storage, the Shield TV Pro 2019 can handle everything you throw at it, from gaming and game streaming to streaming video and music. Furthermore, the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 is arguably the greatest streaming device on the planet. The Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 is the best overall Plex client device. Best Overall Media Streamer for Plex – Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 With a Plex client app installed on a compatible streaming device, the app sends a request to the server which will begin to play that file for you to see and hear in real-time. Whereas your server houses your media library, Plex media players let actually stream it.

Simply put, a Plex client device is what you stream your media to, such as a Roku, Apple TV, or Android TV set-top box. As such, you can digitize your entire film, television show, and music collection, then store it on your server and use Plex to play your media remotely. You can think of it as a sort of do-it-yourself (DIY) Netflix or Spotify where you provide the audio and video files, and Plex organizes that content, downloads metadata and box art, as well as lets you access it from anywhere around your home or from abroad. Whereas the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ let you subscribe and stream content from their platform, with Plex you provide all of the movies, TV shows, and music. Please direct any inquiries to (I have but have to wait a week to set it up because of google silliness).Plex is a media server software solution. There is also a very affordable case with some nice goodies on the way (plan on donating a portion of the proceeds back to Raspberry Pi foundation, but first batch won’t be ready until mid-late April). We are in the process of making a Qt based “one click” GUI installer, that we hope to roll out within the week. So, don’t get discouraged if things are a bit shaky at first – my advice is to force caching by scrolling through “All Movies” and “All TV Shows”. I also love the rich media experience Plex provides.Ĭurrently the UI can be a bit laggy, especially on the first run (RasPlex has to cache a lot of metadata, pictures, etc from the server – I have a solution to make this more smooth, but haven’t had time to implement it yet). I think, however, than Plex and the Raspberry Pi is a natural pairing, since the Plex server can handle any decoding that the client cannot. I love XBMC, on which Plex is built, and have been using it for years. I currently use RasPlex 0.1.27 for my every day media center usage.

Visibility has really increased since we got on engadget Thanks for the Manley Thanks for the publicity.
