The easiest and the most reliable one is by employing the services of a server-client app like PLEX or Kodi and connecting the Shield TV as the client to a NAS server (or any other device like a PC as the server). You can connect the Shield TV to your NAS device using a number of methods. I have a Synology DS 920+ set up as the NAS on which all of my favorite media is stored, and I use the PLEX media software to access the NAS anytime, anywhere.Įver since the Nvidia Shield TV came into existence, I have been an active user since it is the best streaming device on the market.Īpart from being a killer streaming device, the Shield TV is also an excellent client device for connecting and streaming content from the NAS. This storage system can be a regular hard disk connected to your computer or an independent network-based storage device that has an independent CPU, called a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device. Through such an app, you can stream the content stored on a storage device connected to the internet in a remote place, like your home, while you are at work or in transit down the subway. How you may ask, well, the easiest answer is by using a server-client-based app on your phone. Not sure whether that's still the case.With the everyday advancements in technology, you can now access your favorite videos and movies on your mobile phone on the go, even if it is not stored in your phone. (Or at least that was the case with early generations. Just be aware that mixing different generations of MOCA hardware is usually a no-no, as in most cases the entire network's performance will drop to that of the slowest component. My system is based on 2.0 and I've never even come close to maxing it out with any combination of in-home traffic. There are several generations/versions of MOCA, with each subsequent one offering higher throughput. Re: MOCA, the link you quoted is accurate. The more of its available resources that are consumed by simultaneous streams and/or transcoding, the sooner it's going to top out.) (Think of your server's performance as a finite commodity.
Transcoding isn't "bad" per se, but it does place an additional burden on your server. Typically, you'd want to stream at the highest bandwidth that the available network can support, and for home viewing the ideal to strive for is often to avoid transcoding in favor of viewing at the original, full resolution. Transcoding is essentially on-the-fly re-encoding of a stream to accommodate lower bandwidth connections.
