NVIDIA Shield TV update patches Plex media server issues and other bugs

Last month, NVIDIA officially released Shield Experience 9.0.0 to all of its TV devices — including the original 2015 model. This update bumped the Android TV version to 11 and added support for the next generation of GeForce NOW cloud gaming in 4K HDR. However, just like most major software updates, it introduced several bugs that have been affecting various functionalities. Fortunately, though, the company has now released Shield Experience 9.0.1, which patches plenty of these bugs — including the Plex media server issues.

NVIDIA has shared on its forums that Shield Experience 9.0.1 is now available for all of its TV users. It addresses several of the reported issues, including a storage permission bug that was affecting some apps, in addition to the stutter when playing interlaced content. The company has provided a full change log of what’s included in this update:
