We are living in a technology-driven world and it has become almost impossible not to consume digital content. Right from the moment we wake up, to the second of falling asleep, we watch, listen, and read a lot.
It is even possible for you to remotely access the content you stored in a device at your home. However, a popular method is local network sharing, using which you get to access the files in a device from another one (both situated at a single place).
You know what Plex is, don’t you? It is a client-server media player system that gives you a one-stop place to find all your media files. Apparently, you need to install Plex server on the device where you store the media. Using the application, you can browse them from any gadget.
With an account on the official application, browsing third-party content is also possible. Nonetheless, majority use Plex on NVIDIA Shield TVs as a media center to browse the files through network sharing.
In the last few days, after server version 1.18.1.2019 rolled out, many NVIDIA Shield users are finding it difficult to get along with the SMB service. They can’t see the Shield’s external storage drives on other devices. Read a complaint from the official forum below.
Not just NVIDIA Shield forum, we could find many concerns on the Plex official support community too. Despite mounting the network storage option on the device (check the image given below), the server fails to start normally. Source
If you installed Plex from Play Store, you wouldn’t see this problem. Those who got the app upgraded through the forum brought themselves into this chaos. Still, the developers were quick to acknowledge the issue and release the fix via a test APK. Source
There is no ETA regarding the availability of the fix via Google Play store. Do let us know if the hotfix resolves the glitch for you.
