You will need to set up the storage up as internal storage by following these instructions.ģ) Can I record shows to an external hard drive? If you own a 16GB SHIELD Android TV, we recommend increasing your storage with a microSD card or USB hard drive or flash drive. Since SHIELD Pro has 500GB of built-in storage, it is the recommended device for Plex DVR. PLEX DVR will work on any SHIELD Android TV device, however, recording TV shows and movies requires a lot of storage capacity (1-2 GB/hr for SD quality, up to 6GB/hr for FullHD quality).

P.S: In case I buy the Shield and buffer still happens I'll update thread.1. On the other hand I'd get a better 1080p scaling with the Shield as far as I know, so that's nice. The shield will add another remote and although not really a problem, it's an inconvenience. I might go for a Shield, I won't accept having pauses during a movie to buffer, I just liked the idea of using LG's remote for everything. My deduction then is that it's related to the native Plex app on the TV? It should be plenty enough though, specially since the Lion King Movie is "just" 54Mbps for 4K HDR. I've ran speedtests on a Mac Mini which is also connected to this same router and I get around 250/300 DL/UL speeds (main router has 600/600), so I assume the connection to the main router (the one unRAID is connected to) is perfectly fine.įor some reason this TV doens't have a 1 gigabit ethernet port, just 100Mbps. The TV is wired connected to a router acting as a repeater. I've read it might be related to subtitles (I turned all of them off) or True HD audio tracks I think (I tried both DTS and AC3). It could play the movie perfectly for 35 minutes and then pause to buffer like 4 times during a 2 minute period. It happened a lot with The Lion King 4K HDR for instance. The problem I've encountered is that it sometimes stops the playback to buffer. It direct plays everything I've tried, from HD to 4K and also HDR.
Hi! I didn't want to respond yet, since I've been trying out the native LG C9 Plex app during this last week. It works.
