Ni> Plex sounds a lot like PlayOn, which I use occasionally. Have you used
Ni> PlayOn? I'm curious how Plex compares to PlayOn.
Plex blows away any "Stream your shit anywhere" application I've ever used. You
really need a decent upstream speed to enjoy the stream to your cell
phone or non-LAN device, but if you just want to stream to devices on your
LAN, you can't beat Plex for ease of setup and the fact that it easily
identifies the files on any drive in your network and organizes all the videos
into one easy to use menu app that seems to be available on just about any
streaming media device.
MOST of the streaming apps do not require the paid Plex subscription. I got the
sub for a couple months then stopped and have been using the free version of
Plex for years. Doesn't hurt to install and try it out. I like that I can go to
plex.tv, login and see all my streaming devices, just like as if I was at home.
I've tried setting up a ton of DVR/Streaming server apps, Plex is just hands
down so much better than anything else out there.
