Not sure about the Nvidia Shield - ATV's biggest competitor. Some international phones (not typically available here in the US) have been supporting AV1, though it's not really practical to buy one just for that. No ATV4K, even the third generation which released last year, can play AV1 files, so be sure you don't have any of those, or they simply will not play. It's pretty solid, and I can control it from my watch (Apple Watch), too, so that's nice as well. I have the 2nd generation ATV4K, and I use Plex on it (Windows server, ATV client). (But you can use airplay to cast ad-free YouTube from any Apple device.)

3) You can’t get around YouTube ads because there’s no browser or content blocker support. 2) There’s no VU meter or spectrum display while playing audio. I have only a few complaints about ATV: 1) It won’t play high res audio above 24-48. I think the only thing Plex won’t play is TrueHD audio, but I haven’t confirmed that in months so don’t quote me. In fact, I turn off video transcoding completely so everything plays natively. My first gen ATV4K plays Mkv files just fine, and that format makes up about 90% of the files I throw at it. I’ve tried most of the others and their UIs are wonky and slow. You get what you pay for a powerful but simple, easy-to-use, lightning quick, responsive device that’s literally the best streamer you can buy. And I don’t get how some people think ATV is too expensive.

I’ve been using Plex off a Late 2012 Mac mini i7 (got it for $75!) with ATV4K since the latter was introduced and I love it.
