Recently there's been an independent effort to add ASS support to ExoPlayer, though they decided to completely reinvent the wheel instead of using an existing library - while I understand that linking to a C\C++ library to a Java app is not desirable, they didn't even seem to consider the idea of doing that as a stopgap measure and then slowly replacing it with their own code - and the effort seems like it's kind of stalled out after an initial flurry of effort. You can find people complaining about it on the Plex forum going back at least 5-years, maybe more.

Plex has been aware of the issue for literally years. I just have a shitty Sony soundbar so this is fine. While it isn't on-par with Nvidia's "AI" solution it's good enough, especially when they're not side by side.īut to answer your actual question if audio is your concern go with a Shield as the ATV transcodes everything to PCM anyway.

I was also worried about missing the AI Upscaling of the Shield but honestly, the passive upscaling in the ATV is pretty damn good. So far the Apple TV is a much cleaner and faster experience but for the enthusiasts the Shield is much better option due to audio pass-through and profile 7 Dolby Vision support.įor day to day use it's awesome to be able to control my TV from my iPad, Apple Watch and iPhone quickly and seamlessly via Control Center. I don't mind so much since it's usually fixed with a force close or two but the wife and kids were very annoyed. The Plex app on my Shields is just a buggy mess. I only bought it mostly for the ecosystem integration and fluidity of the OS. I just got the new Apple TV to replace one of my 2019 Shields.
