Nvidia's Shield TV gets Plex support and more with new Experience Upgrade patch

Nvidia has just launched the latest update for Shield TV -  Shield Experience Upgrade 5.2 - and it's bringing a raft of new features to 4K video streamer. Said software brings improvements and updates from partners Plex including Live TV, DVR and the ability to write to Network Attached Storage devices (NAS).

Shield TV is already a powerful 4K streaming device, but adding in support for Prey (with its ability to sync up your film, TV show, music, and photo collections) enables you to locally store, organise and display your media on the big screen - as well as seamlessly streaming it to other screens through your device.

The 4K streamer is also the only device that's both a Plex client and media server – making it the only low power solution capable of accessing all yor media, watching live TV, scheduling a recording, playing that recording back locally and more. Add in support for Plex Plus (which includes access to Plex Cloud, offline playback, etc) and you've just made a powerful box even beefier.
