Codecs for Windows

[Somnus]

Hello everyone,

Is there a codec pack that once installed on my media server will provide better decoding for streaming to the nVidia shields we have all over the house?

 

Would K-Lite be sufficient or so these packs mess everything up?

You might well be better using Plex as your media server, it will index all your media and present it all really nicely on the Plex app for the Nvidia Shield.

 

If you have media the shield can't direct play then Plex will transcode the audio / video if required to a format the Shield can play, no need for codec packs or anything. The transcode quality is really good with 6th Gen Intel CPU's or later that support QuickSync.
