Hi everyone,
I need some clarification, as to be honest the Samsung support staff are hopeless with knowing anything about their own products.
I was on chat with support enquiring about the eARC firmware update for this soundbar, he replies to me saying it doesn't have eARC?!
the whole reason I purchased it was because of this update, I have the LG C9 which is eARC!
if they don't provide this firmware update to allow it, then this soundbar is going back for a refund.

I have my C9 and PC with wi-fi connection. I'm just using Plex since yesterday but i noticed a lot of fails running the 4k Remux movies on the Tv. Would it be because of the wi-fi?
I have some Remux 4K Movies (around 70/80gb) and i can watch them on my tv with a usb hdd, but in any of them the Atmos or Dts:x display on the Hw-q80r soundbar.
-Does the Atmos display show on the HW-Q80R when using the plex player on your Shield?
-What's the Shield 2019 storage (If needed, can i save 4k movies in there)?
-Do you connect your shield with wi-fi or Ethernet cable?
Sorry for all this questions.
Thanks alot

Soo ethernet connection on Pc (Plex Server) and also on Shield (Plex App).
-What external hdd could you recommend? (And is there a storage limit, like the 2Tb hdd limit suported by the Oled TV?)
-If i save the movies to a hdd and connect it to Shield (Plex App), is it still necessary to have the movie files on the pc (Plex server)?
Thank you for all your help

I have the Q90R soundbar and Nvidia Shield Pro and Atmos works flawlessly through Plex for Atmos movies.
I bought it in PC Diga in Lisboa.

About the 2TB limit for the OLED TV.
I didn't hear about it before your message.
I did plug in 4TB HDD to my OLED TV. Everything works well.

-all my HDDs are WD but,any external hdd will do , there is no limit from what i know.
-Yes the shield pro can be a plex server as well( not the tube version), i don't use it because in my other rooms i need transcoding and the shield can't handle a 4k transcode. In general the shield can be also a good plex server and player at the same time.

I said 2tb because its the limit described in the LG C9 functions guide (usb connections). But never tried any hdd higher than 1tb.
