how to update plex media server on shield

I use Kodi on Shield because then I know for sure it’s not transcoding, and Kodi doesn’t get into religious wars over formats like ISO, BDMV, etc. Even today I often start a Plex session by giving the Shield or ATV a restart first just for hygiene, and then make sure to avoid any maximum quality format regardless. Plex excels in flexibility, watch it anywhere, but getting all the transcode options set correctly and eliminating all hiccups and pauses with high bandwidth formats has at least in my experience been almost hopeless. To use Plex for the use case where you need maximum audio and video quality seems like the wrong tool for the job. But we’re talking very specifically about Plex here.

The lack of usable DV HDR on Shield (not the streaming layer type) also makes it imperfect for perfect modern format playback.

OTOH if you’re looking for Nirvana, it just isn’t there. If you just have a generic debate between ATV and Shield, then sure the lack of true Atmos is a major issue with ATV.
