The best way to manage your server is to visit the Plex web interface from your computer. why is it giving me trouble? Any setting I should tweak or change? I'm debating whether to just use the Shield for watching and just get a NAS to host & transcode the Plex content instead but I really want it to be last resort because of the pricing. The Shield is a capable streaming box, but it's not ideal for configuring libraries and managing settings. I thought the Shield was advertised as a good enough Plex server to use by 1 person. But obviously I want a low power setup to use for the TV. I ensured that the file is fine by playing it on PC with mpv (great player!) and have had absolutely zero issues.

I have the Plex Pass so hardware transcoding should work. It says on the activity feed that it's transcoding with HW (I believe that just means hardware accelerated encoding) and it just lags like crazy. Ive managed to grab the database backups and the blobs. It is horribly slow, and Plex crashes if I pause for more than a few seconds. I could delete it and reinstall but I dont know how to restore my database thats stored on my HDD. Started watching another show which had ASS subtitles and the Plex player says it has to transcode because of the subtitles (PGS wasn't available from the content I downloaded). the 2 year only sony tv almost certainly isnt powerful enough to play these high bitrate rips LG OLED55CX5LB Sony HT-ZF9 Nvidia Shield TV Pro. I was mostly using it to watch anime (I just get content from nyaa), got a Samsung T7 SSD to externally plug to the Shield. Plex Media Server comes preinstalled on both SHIELD 16 GB and SHIELD Pro 500 GB. It's up to date and I have Plex & Plex Media Server configured. This is a small bin, Plex can also be installed on an NVIDIA SHIELD, 12. Got a Shield TV Pro the other day, the most recent model.
