 NVIDIA SHIELD 

 In a default installation, you will not be able to access the Plex Media Server data directory when running on NVIDIA SHIELD. In order for you to have access, you need to choose to  move the storage location  for the server. Specifically, when moving the data, you must choose either  Internal Storage (user accessible storage location)  or a removable drive that you’ve connected to the SHIELD. 

 Use a standard method to connect to the NVIDIA SHIELD to access the storage, such as that outlined in our “ Accessing SHIELD Storage ” article. The path to the server data will vary, depending on whether you chose to move to the user-accessible internal storage or to a removable drive that you connected to the device. 

 

 “Internal Storage” path:

 /Internal/Android/data/com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/Plex Media Server/ 

 

 “Removable” storage path (where  [removable drive name]  is the name of the removable drive, such as “ Media “):

 /[removable drive name]/Android/data/com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/Plex Media Server/
