Hello !! Yes!! This Sony Google TV media player comes with the ability to download the PLEX client software and I gotta tell ya, it blows away the roku and any other PLEX client for your TV!! The remote control for the Sony unit is fantastick as well!! Go for the Sony Google TV box and you won't be disappointed!....because it has a beautiful, feature rich and spectacular set of metadata that it automatically pulls together for your movie / TV episodes!! By default, It's set to automagically create the most beautiful and metadata rich eye-candy, complete with movie and TV poster pictures along with comprehensive descriptions and easy to use and understand pages for finding exactly what you want to watch very quickly! I have tried a ton of different clients for PLEX and I gotta tell ya, this Sony Google TV player with its ability to not only run PLEX client, but many other droid apps as well, is what I always recommend for my clients when I'm installing entertainment centers or systems! I highly suggest you grab one of these Sony Google TV players and see for yourself how beautiful the PLEX interface is as well as how awesome the included, backlit remote that has full qwerty keyboard and touchpad is! Enjoy and please feel free to ask more questions if you need help!! Sincerely, Chris

It will play all media file types.... As far as the gb capacity, I have mine hooked up to a 1.5TB external hard drive full of audio/video/photo files and it's never had any trouble streaming any of it.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

Probably the worst thing about the ASUS player is the documentation that comes with it. It stinks, actually. Anything I know about it is here... http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Digital_Media_Player/Mini/Manual/E6072_English.pdf If doesn't answer your question, I can't help.

Yes. It plays everything I have tossed at it. The latest firmware seems to have bugs so you may have to downgrade. I have 4 of these units and have been very happy with them.

Haven't tried this with the player. It works fine with some European music DVD'sthat I wanted to watch on the TV, and not on my PC.

While this post is really old, I'll respond in case anyone else is wondering. This player works with any OS. All you do is copy MP3 files to the SD card and put the SD card into the player.

Mine works great for Netflix, don't use it for much anything else unless I'm bored or curious to see what else is online to watch. For an older unit it still hangs in there with some newer models and plays just about anything, I use the PS3 media server to stream movies that wouldn't otherwise play thru smart media or usb. I haven't seen any updates for the firmware since I got mine, but that may not be unusual since I haven't seen any problems other than some codecs that don't play unless streaming them from a PC.

I've had no problems streaming various media formats including h.264, avi, mpg2, and wmv to my LG TV and PS3. So I think the transcoding works fairly well. I don't subscribe to Plex Pass, so I can't report on how well it works there transcoding for other devices.

It will play from the server it does not stream to anything else,any other devices would have to access the server.Hope this helps.

The generic XBMC release will have interface working, however video has a lot of problems. There are some experimental releases which have some improvements in the player, but they are not stable and cannot be really used. I would not recommend this device to be used for XBMC as of today.

Paulo Cardenas : playon server works well enough with PBO. Through it you can stream netflix hulu etc. Download the trial version. Don't buy for 39.99. After 5-6 weeks they start sending you discounted offers in mail. I finally bought mine for 14.99

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.

Use another player that supports Samba,such as NPlayer. You can play almost any format. Just click on network options and choose SMB and connect the app to the media server. User ID is admin and password blank as default. Enjoy

Yes it will play mp4 and dvix bought one for my coworker and have yet to run across a file it won't play. I personally own a micca player with dual usb with two 2tb harddrives. The menu on the micca is alot cleaner and smooth. Plus I likethe remote better. But for price this is a ddecent unit. Does all that it should plus.

Yes, it does have the PLEX app. I don't have a PLEX account so I don't know how well it works.

The tv found my plex server but i didnt get a chance to test the playback. Overall the tv features and apps are rather slow compared to my sony n8100 blu ray player which technically has all the same functionality.
