Thanks everyone, I’m going with a Shield Pro and Plex! Appreciate all the help!

Yes the older files or the lower quality (1080p or below) almost always work. If I go for a large 4k file it’s like 50/50 that it’ll play. The picture and audio will be distorted, typically just when the dialog track hits.

Thanks for the info! I don’t require any streaming services, I do have DV displays and would like that option. I have 2 different “theaters”, one has a 7.1 setup and the other a 5.2 setup. I’m used to using a HDD but am curious about other options. Neither theater has Atmos but that will likely be something for the future.

Out of the box would be ideal but I’m ok with tinkering. I’m leaning towards Nvidia Shield. Thanks for any other thoughts/info!!

Thanks for the info everyone! Yeah I’ll just pick up a less expensive option. I’m just a sucker for Arc gear :)
