[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 856490, member: 298987"] It arrived this afternoon with the post and having followed the video posted by Mark above, I now have a Plex server running on my PC and Plex app on the Roku/NowTV box. Looking at the box, it looks OK but it feels cheap and nasty, too light, like there's nothing inside it (I know there is nothing really inside it but that's not the point lol) and playing with Plex I think I can say it's £10 well spent, I might even order a couple more before sky up the price or block the dev mode to stop side loading apps. A side note on Plex, I can scan my movies and tv shows in but when I try and scan my music it will get so far in and then the server will close randomly(it's a massive music folder), I'm reading through the posts on the Plex forum to try and find a work round or a fix short of going through the thousands of tracks to weed out the problem files I must remember to block the update servers IP addresses so it can't update (I know it's a against the terms of use or some other condition but if they block the dev access through an update then the box is near on useless) Would it go against forum rules if we discussed modding these boxes to take other firmware or other hacks?
