+1 on Fire TV so use Plex and Kodi
the only 2 shames are
1) it does not have an enigma2 app so I can connect to Vu+ box
2) no vpn client app so I can use (1) when away from home on the Fire TV
I also use serviio media server on my Mac mini. I find the folder view option much better than PlexLast edited by css_jay99; 29 November 2016, 13:41.Comment

Same goes for servers of other people who share their libraries with your plex account - you see a list of servers in the client.Comment

Then the client checks on plex.tv based on the account for servers to connect to and connects using the public IP advertised by your server.
