That update, which also includes a number of other noteworthy features, is now available.Īccording to the release notes, this update builds-in Plex Media Server, so you will be able to use your SHIELD to stream to all of your devices (even outside the home) or “accelerate your media” through SHIELD’s HD transcode. I have not yet updated my SHIELD to 3.2, so I’m still not sure if you need the Plex Media Server app installed. (Playback) Roku devices were always getting forced to transcode when enabling subtitles.Earlier this month, NVIDIA and Plex announced that through an incoming update to version 3.2, the SHIELD Android TV box would have the opportunity to become a Plex Media Server, all but eliminating the need for you to run a PC as your media box. (Transcode) Transcoding to AC3 could result in a lower bitrate than this codec needs to produce decent quality. (Playback) Pre-rolls wouldn't play unless cinema trailers were enabled (#12819) (Music) When manually analyzing albums, clear loudness analysis (#12808) (Music) If genre preference is 'Plex Music' don't read genre from tags (#12812) (Music) Aural fixations were broken for TIDAL subscribers w/o a full Plex Pass (#12812) (Library) Scanning photo libraries could result in Exception warning log spam on certain platforms (#12941) (HTTP) HTTP/2 requests could fail when passed malformed headers (#12876) (Extras) An exception throw in refreshing extra lists could cause the server to exit (#12890) (Collections) Missing hubs when an item is part of a manually ordered collection (#12862 (Collections) Manually ordered collections would fail to play (#12879)

(Analysis) Bitrate analysis was sometimes incorrect when file contained image attachments (#12882) (Scanner) Support for TV season directory names that contain a season title after the number (#12834) (Localization) Improved language code support for audio and subtitle streams (#12909) (API) Language and country names are now returned in the client's language (#12815) This is only applicable if you downgrade, just installing this version will not trigger this.īeta release note entries are appended between minor releases.
