If anyone is having a problem hooking up Plex to Roku

[angstlessk]

check in with me...I have spent 2 days figuring out that sh**

I have even figured out how to hook up Myplex...ie...the queue

1. What is "Plex" and why should I spend time figuring out how to hook up to Roku?

If it's a good thing can you clue me in so I don't have to waste time wandering through Google Search?

7. you mean my.plexapp.com ?

with that you just have to sign in. For the server. You have to download the server software for you computer. It streams from you computer server. With the server you have to go to settings myplex tab. It should automatically connect. If not. you have to enable qos on your router. Many people disable this. If that doesn't work you have to open a port on your router and specify it under myplex.

11. Every one left this step off...Plex works fine but myplex

needs to be manually connected, and a PIN # used, by going into the cog wheel under the Plex menu and press the Connect button THEN you get a PIN # which you then go back to myplexapp.com/pin or something like that

8. I have no idea what either of those things are

10. But if your Plex is set to the wrong frequency, it can overheat your Roku.

Or maybe it's the other way around.

Either way, you don't want that to happen.

12. You folks are hillarious...I no longer have cable or satelite

I have a set top box called Roku ($70.00 not per month-ONCE) and by adding Plex (FREE) to my channel I can now watch any video on YouTube, and any movies I have on my hard drive or even extension drive, on my television,

The only thing that costs me monthly is my subscription to Netflix ($7.99) and HuluPlus ($7.99) I get Amazon Premium but I pay annually which also allows for free 2 day shipping on MOST items
