Tldr I had the same issue, tried a lot of things without success,wouldnt restore my backup, figured its a bug, started over and won't be turning off my server again

I will not dare to stop the server because I'm afraid I wont be able to turn it back on if I do. I lost my collections and custom posters but I guess that isnt too big of a deal. (I also can't delete collections but thats another issue.) I didnt want to wait for an update that may or may not solve the problem so I ended up starting from scratch and creating a new server and new libraries. I concluded that there must be a bug in the current version of the plex media server application. The first time it worked but the second time the options disappeared once again. By starting fresh on the plex app I could create a new server but when i copied over my backup data, the pms options disappeared again! I made a test library and tried to stop and start the server. I then tried everything: clear cache, uninstall updates, factory reset the shield, etc. I copied all of my data from the backup folder as well as the android com folder (cant remember the exact name). When i returned to plex to start up again the option was missing like in your pic. I stopped pms because i was upgrading the hard drives in my nas. The “Nvidia Shield Experience Upgrade 3.2” software update is scheduled for release later this month.This happened to me last week. You can expand that with external storage. Nvidia Shield Pro comes with 500GB of internal storage whereas the more affordable version has only 16GB. It will also support multiple streams so several members of the household can use it at once. This means that it should support 4K streaming, too. Plex confirms that the app will support “hardware-accelerated video transcoding” for MPEG2, MPEG4 (H.264), and HEVC. Plex's server and receiver apps are free but you if you pay you will get additional features.

Plex server on Nvidia ShieldThe ability to run Plex Media Server on the Nvidia Shield box will be added with the next major update for Nvidia Shield that will also include things like HDR video/gaming and YouTube in 4K60p.īy installing Plex Media Server on your Nvidia Shield you can store all your movies, photos and other media files on the box and access them wirelessly through other devices such as Smart TVs, TV media player, phones, tablets, PC, and more. Starting later this month, Nvidia Shield owners can use their TV box as a streaming server for Plex. Today, you need a PC or NAS to run Plex Media Server to store and share your media files.
