What app store do you get your apps from and does anyone know if the Plex app is available for this model? Thanks in advance..

So far when I've attempted to find apps (such as Pandora, Amazon Prime, etc...,) LG pulls them up on their app store. It's not like through iOS or Droid market. I can't say for sure if the Plex app is available but I believe that there are numerous media apps available through LG's app store and I think I recall Plex being one of those apps. Please don't take that for fact though.

There is an LG app store (Premium) where you may download most for free (Netflix, Hulu, etc.). I do not know of Plex being available, but for media streaming this T.V. will search for computers on your network and stream from them directly over your home network. Also I just hooked up a Chromecast which works quite well.

I stream my movies thru the PLEX app on my samsung and mine is a bd5500, older. Go to samsungs website and see if they have an app for amazons video, I would bet that they do, and most apps are free. good luck

I watch Amazon Prime videos via my iPad Air all of the time. I also watch Netflix, Hulu & videos residing on my computer hard drive. I had a Kindle Fire but the newest version had a nasty looking blue fringe on the screen that was annoying. I sent that back & sold my old iPad & got the Air & very happy with gorgeous video, fast response & versatility. It is great!

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

I have the UN50HU6950 and Plex is an available download. I have not used it yet, so I cannot comment on performance.

The Netflix app is available (free). I just streamed two movies over the weekend without any issues or buffering. The screen on this tablet is amazing.

Nothing up-to-date. In the AppStore there appears to be newer apps but there's always a glitch when downloading it.

ya Barbara you keep in touch with me and we will get it figured out. I did go to the Amazon app store and downloaded it and it does not work out of sinkt is not the discription I would give the quality, it is a stable picture with no movement then the sound works great...I am going to try the brandy even though it looks like I as well as others have asked her to be more elaborate she never gets back to us..

How did you load it? I can't get mine to find the device for the app store to install it.

I do this all of the time. If streaming via wireless, keep in mind you may have buffering if your wireless devices can't handle the bandwidth needed for full 1080p. I believe Plex will transcode so you'll have minimal issues though. But, yes, this box can stream via Plex. I stream to my iPad in bed each night using the Plex app. Keeps me nice and lazy.

The Roku 3 gives you the most flexibility but it may have features you don't need. It's best to go on the Roku site and look at the features each offers and see what you're going to use. I have both the Roku 3 and Apple TV. I personally like the features of Apple better although the channel choices are fewer, but I mainly wanted it for Netflix so that doesn't bother me. I find most of the choices for additional channels on Roku not to be of my liking anyway. Many of them are very niche oriented, such things as outdoor cooking, religion, etc. Many of the "free" movie channels play old "B" movies and it seems as if there are few changes in what is offered. Other movie channels require additional subscription fees or in some cases you can watch the movie "free" if you put up with a few commercial interruptions. But, again I find the choices limited and not really of interest to me. You may be different and enjoy the offerings.

I just checked mine & even tried updating the software (no updates found). I only has Nexflix & Vudu. At present there isn't even an option to add other apps (that is why I checked if there was asoftware update. Even though the remote has buttons for more, I don't think they will ever update it and add more apps. It probably doesn't have the memory to do it.

I have it set up and love it! I got the app on my iPhone free and I can live stream any time-- and record with no subscription. I like the motion detection notification because in the email it sends you 2 photographs. I hope this helps!

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.

I thought I seen a vid on youtube with a guy watching netflix on the unit. On an android phone though. I have an Iphone W/adapter and I cant get netflix to work. I believe it only will work if your videos or movies our downloaded through I tunes. I have a couple of music vids downloaded from I tunes and they play through the head unit.
