Question about how to get the plex app to work on console when i get a subscription for the...

Hi,

The big one I've seen is Plex and there is a Plex app on the Xbox Store. I'm not well versed in these things, but there are quite a few video tutorials on YouTube about Plex and Xbox One.

I'm pretty sure you'll need something to work as a 'Media server' to put your videos on to share with your console. As I understand it, Plex can transcode MKV videos.

I'm running both hd homerun and plex after giving up on oneguide.

After running with plex for a period (using hd homerun tuners for tv reception) i ended giving up plex too, for tv recording. Plex still requires external guide data (i used freepg) but the guide on plex on xbox is pretty ****. If you are using plex on a
pc, the guide on plex is fine.

I ended up buying an annual hd homerun dvr subscription ($35) and am happy with that. The hd homerun app on xbox is simple but effective. Guide data is fine and tv dvr is simple but works reliably.

Plex is now just used for movies and tv series.

So for me the $35 annual hd homerun dvr subscription is worth the no hassles (but basic) tv recording.

Cheers.

Hello Splinter!

Thanks for coming to the forums with this situation. I understand you're having trouble using the Plex App on an Xbox One is that correct? Did you get the most recent updates for the Plex App as well as the Xbox Ones systems update? I recommend contacting
the developers of the content and check if they have more information about their App. Give us a few more details to determine how to best assist you.

Thanks for reaching out!

I hear the plex app is in beta...sadly it won't work for my media library. Plus, I don't want to pay a subscription to access my library.

@Gypsy As soon as Plex was announced for Xbox One I looked into it and subscribed. I can help you out as best as I can but for one you do need to pay the monthly/yearly/lifetime subscription fee (whatever you choose). Then when you download the Plex App
for windows be sure to do so from the 'Plex Pass Downloads' tab
