How is it? I just bought a Shield TV and planning to make it as my plex media server. I don't stream 4k, only 1080p on 1 device at a time most of the time. Anyone care to share their experiences?

It performs well for me but the server seems to stop itself occasionally and needs to be restarted. I also use a NAS and whenever the Shield crashes and needs to be restarted i need to mount my NAS again.
I've been using mine as a Plex server for a long time now and I love it. It works just as well as a PC for me. Quality is perfect and unlike my PC, it's almost always on. The only downside (for me) is that there is limited storage space, but an external hard drive is an easy solution for that.
The only issue I've had is with regards to remote connection. It always fails to enable remote access whenever I try to activate it.
If you're only doing one 1080p stream then you're all set. It's supposed to be able to transcode 4K, so I wouldn't worry.
