The first time it launches, you’ll see the following screen. Launch the regular Plex app on the SHIELD TV. Now let’s set up the Plex Media Server on the NVIDIA Shield TV. Take this opportunity to clear out other unused devices or servers. If you see your Shield TV, then click the tiny red X next to it to remove it. Choose Devices from the left hand column and then pick the Devices tab if it’s not already selected. In the upper right corner there’s a drop down arrow next to your avatar icon. If you still experience problems, follow the steps above and then sign into your Plex account in a browser. Go back using the back button on the remote and choose the other app and do the same by choosing Clear Data. Go to System apps and find the Plex and Plex Server apps. Click on one and then choose Clear Data. To clear the apps on the on the Shield TV go to Settings at the bottom of the home screen and then find Apps in the first row. When I cleared out the settings in the Plex app on my NVIDIA Shield TV, things worked fine. I couldn’t get the server set up otherwise. If you already had the regular Plex app installed and used it with another server previously, it’s a good idea to clear it out and start over.

You can use your computer and install the apps by clicking on the Install button and then choose your Shield TV from the drop down box.
