Can this perform as a plex server?

PLEX’s latest update on May 16, 2018 (v6.17) for SHIELD TV now lets you store library data on adopted or removable USB storage. Now you can host a large PLEX Media Server on SHIELD 16GB with a huge number of movies, pictures, and songs without running out of storage space. From your PLEX app on SHIELD, go to Settings->Plex Media Server-> Storage location to enable this feature.

The 16gb version does not have a microsd card slot, am i right?

the new smaller $199 version has no SD slot. the new $299 pro model (with 500GB hard drive) still has SD Slot and USB ports original model had. Both models come with both updated game controller with headset port and the remote. BOTH models have Android nougat or 7.0, which has Multitasking (at last)! We call finally put our multicore processors to work, running additional apps at sametime and one press switch from one to the other!

In this $ 199.99 package, is the TV remote and game controller included?

Yes,both remote and game-controller are included. *also - secretly included now -after a recent update- are constant advertisements, which will take up most of the home screen. And which should not (in my opinion) be on a device which costs this much to purchase.

Can this play video files from an external hard drive? (mkv, mp4, etc)

I used a 4-bay external HDD drive by ICY DOCK. 2 HHDs are 8TB. 1 HDD is 10TB. All drives were recognized by Shield TV. However, you will NOT be able to write to any external drives that are connected to Shield TV unless you choose to allow Shield TV to adopt the drive (this will erase all media on the drive first). There are some workarounds that require some tweaking to write to the drives without adopting, but YMMV.
