Whether you are using a Mac, Windows or even Linux computer, Plex Media Server is a great tool for accessing your media throughout your home (and remotely). The system does live transcoding and now supports direct access to Netflix from within the client application.
Plex clients run on iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, Windows 8, Rokus, LG Smart TVs, Samsung Smart TVs and Google TVs. The user interface is intuitive and easy to learn and a browser bookmarklet lets you add content from sites like Vimeo and YouTube directly to your Plex server library to stream later.
Personal media content on Plex appears much like you would expect on Netflix thanks to various metadata libraries that are used to search for title descriptions, DVD covers and fan art. The system is also capable of accessing Amazon streaming services, custom channels from popular podcasters and iTunes libraries. Support for so-called “UnSupported Applications” offer users the ability to access adult-themed video streaming sites, video games (through system emulators) and other nonstandard content. Note: some of the nonstandard content cannot be viewed on remote devices (like a tablet computer).
The Roku 3 is a perfect way to access the Plex Media Server, in addition to its built-in features that cover most subscription services.
