Kyle - I think your idea for the state card is more appropriate for a new component (don’t know what, but I like the idea). I can fool around with that after I finish with this.
OK, one thing I found out is that when I was testing this on the Shield player, I was connected to my old PC server.
Connected to the PMS on the Shield and using the Player on the Shield, I’m not seeing anything on the Plexdevices client. In fact, if I view something on the PC server then move over to the Shield, the Plexdevices client still shows the last media played on the PC server.
Even if I use a web client to connect to the Shield’s PMS, it doesn’t show any media except the last thing I played on the PC’s PMS while testing. However if I press the off button in the player while playing something from the Shield, it does stop. Pause also works, but then subsequent presses do nothing; to get it to start again, I have to go to the webclient. While it is running, volume also seems to work. All of this while it is still showing the previously viewed media on the PC’s PMS. It never updates.
Here’s some of the errors I have been getting. Note that the IP in the errors is the PC’s PMS not the Shield’s PMS…:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='192.168.1.195', port=32400): Read timed out.Thanks. I wonder if your shield PMS is running on a different port than 32400. Can you confirm as that would explain the timeout? If not, I can check out the issue on my Shield later in the week.
Also, I’m posting an update that fixes some of those issues in your log. Looks like the shield only supports volumes 2-100. So my fake muting would never work and owed just error because I set the volume to 0 when pressing mute. I tested with mute volume being 2 but that doesn’t work. So now I just detect if the device is a shield and have the mute button do nothing.
UPDATE POSTED - Shield mute fix, custom entity IDs, mark old sessions as idle
- Ignoring mute commands from Nvidia Shield devices - Muting requires volume=0 but the Shield errors when volume is set lower than 2.
- Custom entity ID’s - Added a custom config option to have entity ID’s named media_player.plex_{id}, where {id} is the unique player ID
- This avoids ambuguity issues like media_player.plex_web_safari, media_player.plex_web_safari2
- Scenario:
- Imagine you had an automation based on an entity name (ex. media_player.plex_web_safari)
- The first system that ever connects over safari gets this entity name
- Now you have a timing issue to ensure the right system gets the right name
- You could then have a different issue if the wrong system gets the name and kicks off your automation
- Mark old sessions as idle - Now loop through, find any device without an active session, and mark as idle
I’m not sure how that would be done but I can dig a bit.
My reasoning is I share with friends and family - it would be nice to know which entities are not within my house. If the username was also added as an attribute it could potentially be used to customize the view(s) further so that my media view is only MY players and then I have a Plex view that is all others…

Nope. Standard 32400. And I have both PMS setup to prefer secure connections and allow my Pi’s IP without auth.
I’ll test the new update and see if it helps. Kind of frustrating because the initial versions seemed to work well and I’m not sure if I am doing something wrong. I’ve made no changes to either of my PMS besides updating the version on the PC, but that’s the one that works.
Also should note that I removed my plex.conf and disabled discovery and default view, but never got a configurator pop up.
RE: Custom cards - maybe using the new feature, here? Gonna have a peek later today.

Or, it looks like some additional docs here:
have you tried entity namespace?
media_player:
- platform: plex
entity_namespace: 'plex'
media_player:
- platform: cast
entity_namespace: 'cast'
this way it would become…
- media_player.plex_shield
- media_player.cast_shield

When I figure out how to display it, I can also include the location attribute which displays “LAN” or “wan”.
I’ve never used it before but this would definitely be the case. Thanks.
Been holding my breath here for the last hour because after a reboot, my primary PC wouldn’t load Windows and I know for a fact that my Acronis backup didn’t run for a while. I just set it up to run last night but it hadn’t finished (probably part of the problem). I checked my online backup (Crash Plan) and it was up to date as of yesterday - which was a miracle of timing because I had JUST reinstalled that last week and it finally caught up.
Restarted one last time and went to vacuum to occupy myself and it’s back up… Yikes!
I’ll try this a little later - thanks for reminding me about this.
Got it working for plex servers on nvidia shield - update coming soon

UPDATE POSTED - Support for Plex Server running on Nvidia Shield and more
- Fixed issue preventing component from working with Nvidia Shield Plex server instances
- Fixed issue when using custom entity id’s
- Sped up client refreshing (changed the component to poll session data first, then client data - this seemed to noticeably speed up initial players displaying in HAS when HA starts. Other refreshes looked faster too but this is purely subjective).
Giving it a shot now!
newest update giving:

That appears to be the new nVidia fix… but I don’t run an Shield…
Made some progress - at least now I am getting the media and it is showing the eps thumbnails, but the controls are missing or inoperative. I am seeing the position indicator and it updates appropriately.
However when playing, I only get a stop button and it doesn’t actually do anything. When I press it, I see the toast notification that the command was sent but nothing actually happens. If I pause with my remote, the button disappears altogether.

This was only a portion - post limits prevented me from posting the whole thing. Seems to happen only when trying to press the button.

If you are using the same Nvidia shield as a server and a client, then this is a known issue I coded for (disabling the controls) and documented. In this scenario, the local client doesn’t get a real IP address (gets a loopback address) so all API calls fail. Maybe I can get around that by using the address of the server and calling the commands via url. Let me know if this is your circumstance.
Another update coming soon regarding the shield: In my testing:
- remote client (ex. iPhone) streaming from shield PMS: controls display and work fine
- local client (ex. playing directly on the shield or casting to the shield) streaming from shield PMS: controls disabled (by me) since they don’t work (because the client does not have a registered IP address and can’t be controlled via the web api)
- local client (ex. playing directly on the shield) streaming from another PMS: controls display and work mostly fine: Errors display whenever volume is lowered below 2. I also disable mute because of this.
Yes, that is my use case exactly. PMS runs in the background and the client is a separate app.
I guess that’s why it works when I point it to my old PC server. But I am planning on decommissioning that as that was the whole reason I bought the Shield. I’m hoping to turn the old PMS into a Linux box to run HA.
To be honest, if you can’t find a way around control from the HA UI it wouldn’t be the end of this for me as long as I could still access the controls from within an automation somehow. I really don’t use the UI for control that often.
(But I’d be happier if you can make it work, of course! 
)
Whatever I can do to help, testing, documenting things like this - I stand at the ready!
