Comment on Alternative ways to run Plex?
obinice@lemmy.world 1 year agoThose things are incredibly expensive, I don’t think I could even afford one of them.
What makes them worth the extra money compared to say, a raspberry pi? I’m assuming Nvidia shield runs some version of Linux and is just as compatible with all the various packages and services you might want to run on a media device (such as a Plex server for starters of course), but what can it do that the pi came, to justify it’s more than double the cost?

Ai upscaling, more ram, android so you can sideload apps, game streaming

Pi 4s come in 4 and 8gb ram varients (both being more than the shield), can run android, and are more than cabable of game streaming. Ai Upscaling is gross, imo. Additionally for the price of an nvidia shield you could get the new Pi 5 with a better cpu and more i/o

I love my shields 🤷, out of the box I don’t have to do really anything like install an os etc
