Shakey4 3 Posted October 25, 2025 Posted October 25, 2025 Hi I hope someone can help. I have the emby server on my 2019 Nvidia Shield TV Pro. I have the Emby app on my android phone and Google home TV. Whenever I press play on a film the Emby server crashes/shutdown on the Nvidia Shield. I've watched this in realtime having the Emby server screen open and it just crashed back to the Nvidia Shield home screen even when the theme music starts playing. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated. 1

Hi thanks Here are the logs, not sure if I need to restart the server once I selected 'yes' to enable debug logging:- embyserver.txt hardware_detection-63897070175.txt embyserver-63897070162.txt
Luke 42077 Posted October 26, 2025 Posted October 26, 2025 What other software is installed on the Shield?
Shakey4 3 Posted October 26, 2025 Author Posted October 26, 2025 I have Plex, that seems to work okay All the other apps like netflix, Amazon prime, YouTube etc

It is likely that the OS is killing the server app to reduce resource consumption on the device. Removing other apps is something that can help with this.
Shakey4 3 Posted October 27, 2025 Author Posted October 27, 2025 Thank you I'll try this and report back
Shakey4 3 Posted October 27, 2025 Author Posted October 27, 2025 I've uninstalled the Plex server and rebooted the Shield and still having the same issue
Shakey4 3 Posted October 28, 2025 Author Posted October 28, 2025 Also I quickly tested remotely using the website at work and it played okay however when doing the same with my android phone it again caused the server to crash
alan_finn 2 Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 Yea I am having the same issue. Constant crashing 2
Dan11 2 Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 I am in same boat. Got a new gaming laptop, and it ran great on that. Tried it on shield, and it wouldn't keep running. Will purchase lifetime and kill plex if it can run smoothly off my shield. 2
