When you mount a USB drive or microSD card as “Removable Storage”, a special writable folder is created on the drive. Storage Limitations Writing to USB, microSD Card, and Network Storage In most cases, the NVIDIA SHIELD will be able to support at least 2-3 simultaneous transcodes. The real-world performance of the device can vary greatly depending on the particular properties of the media you’re playing (bitrate, resolution, etc.), how many items are streaming at the same time, and how many of those streams require transcoding. That means that the transcoding must be done by the CPU, which may be slower. Note: In cases where content requires that subtitles be burned in (common for PGS or VOBSUB subtitles and sometimes required for other subtitle formats in some Plex apps), it is not possible to use hardware encoding. Tip!: Making sure your content uses either H.264, H.265, or MPEG 2 will allow you to make the most of your NVIDIA SHIELD. VC-1, Xvid, VP9, etc.) then the SHIELD will have reduced performance in cases where transcoding is necessary. If your content is in another source format (e.g. This means that if your media uses one of the above three formats, then the NVIDIA SHIELD will be able to make full use of hardware acceleration for transcoding. The following video compression formats are supported for hardware decoding on the SHIELD: When content needs to be transcoded, the server will also need to decode the video stream before transcoding it. The NVIDIA SHIELD supports hardware accelerated H.264 encoding. When Plex needs to transcode video to be compatible for an app or device, it always transcodes video to H.264.
Transcoding What formats does the hardware transcoding support? Due to the nature of the device, there are a few things which might affect how you use the server, so you should be aware of them. Plex Media Server running on NVIDIA SHIELD is a full-fledged server.
