Preparing the usb storage
FAT32 (32 GB or less) - SHIELD TV supports the FAT32 data format. Most drives that are
32 GB or less are already formatted as FAT32. If the storage drive is not formatted,
format it to FAT32, using your PC or Mac computer. The limitation of using drives of this
capacity is that your SHIELD TV will be unable to process files that are more than 4 GB in
size.
exFAT (64 GB or more) - SHIELD TV supports the exFAT data format. Storage drives that
are 64 GB and above come pre-formatted as exFAT. This newer data format is able to
process files that are more than 4 GB in size.
How to Add Network Storage
Your SHIELD TV device can add Network Addressable Storage (NAS) devices. This can be useful
if you have a large amount of personal media shared on a network you would like to access on
your SHIELD TV (e.g., PLEX Media Server)
To add a NAS,
1.
Under Settings
> Device > Storage & reset, select "Network storage."
2.
Any network discoverable drives will be located under "Available Network Storage."
3.
If your NAS is hidden or does not broadcast, you can select "manually add a network
storage."
