Plex server on Shield

[Binky]

I'm more of an Emby fan but this is pretty damned cool. They have the Plex server (and client) running on the Nvidia Shield. To be released soon...

I've installed it on my Shield. It's pretty good. I've gotten it to Direct play 4 movies at a time and transcode up to 2 (9mbps bit rate) 1080p movies.

Given the ability of the Shield to both run the Plex server and directly access a NAS I consider it to be an awesome minimalist solution. (I am running a secondary Plex server off my Shield, my main Plex server has more transcode power)

I'm with you. I share my Plex library with family and friends and can have up to four 1080p transcodes going at one time, so having a more robust setup is necessary for me.
