[QUOTE="Sound_Hound_SA, post: 1159273, member: 22921"] The Pi doesn't have enough horsepower as your library grows it will struggle more and more this is due to the lookups happening on the plex database which is essentially an sq-lite database, in your case let the nvdia shield run plex server and connect a hard drive to the shield, however the Shield Pro will do a much better job than the normal stand cylinder shape shield If you have some moola, consider a Zappiti or Zidoo UHD5000 (which we can supply) or NAS drive. I use a 4 bay Asustor Lockerstor with 2 x 14TB drives it runs my plex server as well as roon, and I just use the Nvidia shield in my demo room to stream movies via direct play on the plex app. [/QUOTE]
