DM> Roku (the newer ones anyway) have a Plex client app. Works great.
I can confirm. I have a Roku 2 and 3 and Plex is supported on both.
I bought a Western Digital MyCloud Mirror last December and you can install the
Plex app on it. It streams music perfectly but I get an error that the MyCloud
doesn't have enough machine to stream video.
However, I can use the Roku media player to watch video off of MyCloud - go
figure. The media player doesn't organize videos as nicely as Plex does but if
I really want to watch my home movies I have that as an option.
One more nice thing about MyCloud is you can configure it so that you can
access it anywhere you have an Internet connection. I guess there's some relay
that allows you to access it. It comes in handy that when I'm on the road I can
just fire up the MyCloud app on my phone and play my favorite music. It would
be nice if Plex could do this cuz the MyCloud app basically just displays your
drive like a folder view.
