![]() ![]() For that reason, I just use Kodi w/PlexKodiConnect to direct play 4K with subs when I need to. That's how it should be and I shouldn't have to touch anything in the file to make it work properly. I prefer to just rip with makemkv or download the remux, and then just watch it without changing anything. But I don't like to touch any of my remuxes I have, and I find it too much of a hassle to do so everytime I get a new remux. It's just PGS or other image-based subs that's the issue. I can change the subs to SRT obviously (by downloading them or converting to text using OCR) and they will direct play. If Plex didn't screw up one little thing on their end with the Kodi Plex plug-in recently (that I need for home automation) I'd likely still be using my S905 box in my primary media location/living room. That said the new Shield is absolutely fantastic otherwise, and I do not at all regret buying it. ![]() It's actually frustrating to see that Plex has actually taken such a large step back in terms of UI friendliness with their current Android TV/Shield app. I find the interface to be fantastic - far better than PKC (what a horrid mess using Kodi's interface for Plex is!!!) or the native Plex Shield app for that matter.īoth PKC and the Shield app are really non-intuitive to use and require so many more remote/button presses to do mundane tasks or view extra info. But maybe (as long as it continues to work) that is a blessing in disguise. It's a big shame that Plex decided to not develop it any further. IMO it's is highly under rated how good that setup is especially considering the cost (~60 USD) - Everything direct plays without a single issue even 4k. I recently moved to a shield from a S905 box running Librelec (Kodi) and solely using the Plex plug in. (this is for Kodi playback, which is what we are interested in). There are many other options at many price points, listed in all extreme detail in this thread. If you need TrueHD, Atmos or any kind of HD bitstreaming - get a Shield. ![]() This is also simple.įor vast majority of people, you should get Amazon Fire Stick 4K. But it still works.Īlso, people are always asking whats the best Plex client device, what do I need etc.
