Yes, supported features are listed here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=228158

I'm plex user and i'm mostly disappointed, i was here looking for some client server solution for kodi or something. Or if it can update library while in sleep mode and some easier to use interface for kodi, etc.
Native player in shield does not play many of h264 1080p videos.
I'm not sure what you mean by "client server solution for Kodi". If you mean use the Plex Media Server for your backend and Kodi for your frontend, then you'll need something like the PlexKodiConnect add-on, or the official Plex add-on.
I'm also not sure what "Native player in shield does not play many of h264 1080p videos" means? I've had no issues with the Shields native player playing any 1080p/h.264 videos. Though I am speaking from the perspective of the 3.2 FW since the 5.0 update is not available for the 2015 Shields yet. But if the files play in Kodi, then they should play in the native player.
