Plex is really reliant on what client you are planning on using for viewing the content. So if you use case is only you playing stuff back and you are using a Shield as a client, just about any system will work to run Plex. If you are going to be supporting 10 users with various clients, you are...

You shouldn't really use a CPU, get that P2000 Quadro. Search reddit for the video review. No CPU can reliably transcode the 4k stuff, let alone two 4k streams. If you are direct playing, then it is only a network issue and would not really hit the CPU. Everyone that uses Plex and has users...

We had nothing but problems with them and I use quite a bit of Logitech stuff, so I wanted these to work. They did not. Tried returning them to BB, and then tried getting them fixed with RMA, but it never panned out and eventually they went into the trash. I also have a melon head and these...

Chromecasts suck, I gave like three of them away. The fire sticks are just OK, at least they have their own remote. The fire TV boxes are better, meaning faster responding and more support for direct play. The shield plays everything so far from Plex. Nothing compares to the support for video...

I would not say Plex is used for external streaming or playing warez at all. It has a good interface and is easy to use and setup first and foremost. Then you have the ability to stream to friends and family. If you want to point fingers at copyright violators, point to Kodi and not Plex. I...

GTA online. You cannot even lose focus or it will stop loading, so you have to painfully wait there with focus on the process....

I have tried the 933 Artemis units a few times and have had terrible luck. No idea what causes it, but the units seem to drop connection all the time, like on the order of 5 to 8 times an hour. When it happens you have to power them off and back online. At first I thought it was a bad batch...

Well I finished the game, and man, those were some shit endings. Love the game, went right back in and picked up where I left off and working on lighters and baseballs and shit. The endings though....

IMO all vehicle controls in this game suck, I mean, just driving around can be painful. Also, while I love the game, the cut scenes can be a little obnoxious...

I have task manager up on the other screen and when I play, I just see the memory use going up and up until it gets close to max and then the frames start to crawl. However, restarting solves the issue. For me it takes like a few hours to get to that point though, rig in sig.

I hate it when fishing, fighting a stupid fish for 10 mins, then BAM, a cougar or bear starts eating you...

My son just bought it for me as well, and I'm enjoying it for now. Was planning on FC5 but waiting to hear how it is first. We have been playing co-op mode a little bit and it works pretty well.

I think he has the movie compressed with HEVC or something which requires a transcode to display it properly. The shield is the only extender that I know that will direct play nearly every type of compression/encoding.

Did you change back to full from limited in the control panel? I have to do this on several monitors with my 970. Each driver install changes it back to limited.

It is probably the network connection. Just playing a 20 GB 4k movie from Plex shows constant 16 to 24 Mbps, and the larger 50 to 70 GB files are 50+ Mbps. I run a Plex server from rig in sig and use an nVidia Shield for the extenders. I don't share the 4k movies outside of my network due to the...
