Quote: Note: The server's data directory will always be placed on the original internal storage, even if you expand it with a USB drive or microSD card.

IT IS CRITICAL TO DO THESE STEPS IN ORDER:

Root the Nvidia Shield 16GB Nougat (2015) Insert Micro SD card or USB Flash drive (make sure it's fast) and adopt the storage. Install ES File Explorer and use its Root Explorer or use ADB command line: Code: adb uninstall <package_name> Enable Developer Options Install Plex Media Server from Google Play. Yes, this will install it in the Internal Shared Storage, but it won't be in the /System/ folder. Go to: Settings > Developer options > Force allow apps on external (4th from the bottom) Go to: Settings > Apps > Storage Used and move Plex Media Server to the external storage. Reboot the Shield *Start Plex, initiate Plex Media Server, do not build default libraries, and it should work Reboot the Shield Use the Plex web client to create your libraries

If you use Plex and Plex Media Server on your Nvidia Shield Android TV, as your library grows, you'll soon learn that Plex Media Server can eat up a lot of that fast, precious internal storage.Please note the current limitation of Plex Media Server for Android I ran into this problem and spent days trying to figure out how to set the location of the metadata database to the external (adopted) storage. Unfortunately, Plex doesn't give Android users this option like they do for Windows users. Maybe in the future? Maybe if enough of us make a stink on the interwebs?If you can't wait that long, here's a guide on how to install Plex Media Server directly to your external storage, be it Micro SD or USB Flash Drive. Just make sure your storage media is SUPER FAST. So, it's probably best to go with the fastest USB 3.0 Flash or SSD drive you can find.Enjoy!!SETTINGS > APPS
