I was thinking about an apple TV, but I'm not in the apple ecosystem so I'm not sure how well it would work for me. Shame, it does look like a great device

Good idea. I checked and it's not transcoding, just direct play for audio/video so it's not codecs. I'm still leaning towards bit rate being too high for the fire stick processor for now

No transcoding, it's doing direct play for video and audio. The roku eventually gives up and plex gives a "your network is not good enough" error unfortunately

Good to know! I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get a shield pro then. Thanks!

Basically all tracking is done by Google ads. It checks at start up if you have purchased ad free or not. If purchased, launch app without ad library, else launch with ads. It has to be in the code because (according to the dev) Google is cracking down on similar apps, ie a pro version and a free version. So ad library has to be included, and it just won't use it if you pay for pro

100 bucks is only for the extra features. Just to remove ads is $20, which is admittedly still high
