playon plex media server is not responding

The added bonus would of course be that you would have access to hundreds of TV channels, both live and on demand as well as solving your issue for less than the cost of another HUB or SMP. This would solve the original problem stated by Ziggy75 and your son could browse and view content on your HUB using his Roku, but you would have to buy PlayOn and install it on a computer. Note from the pic below there is also an Itunes playlist options but since I dont use ITunes, not really sure how that works. For a Roku, I would guess you need them all transcoded? Seems to work quite well and the videos that I have tested played very smoothly on my local network on my TV and on my Nexus 7. By default, PlayOn transcodes the video for you, but you can list file extensions that it should push native to your device if you like. There are also options for “All Video”, “Genres” and “Playlists” but I have not yet tried any of those, just browsing by folder. You can play video, audio and pictures that are on the HUB or any of the other shared directories on your network that you desire and are mapped to your PlayOn server with a drive letter. From your Roku, you go to the PlayOn Channel, and the the “My Media” sub channel, and you can browse the folders that you have setup on the PlayOn server. I set up access to a folder that was shared on my HUB. PlayOn has a “My Media” setting that you need to turn on, and allows you to set up points of access to folders on the PlayOn server, as well as to shares mapped to that Computer. I had never tried this before, but since the question was asked, I figured I might as well test it out and get us an answer. Yes this can be done with a Roku, but as far as I can tell it does require PlayOn as flhthemi noted (yes I do have both) TonyPh12345> Maybe an actual Roku owner can respond.
