Can you stream 1080p using Plex Media Server from this?

Yes, absolutely, assuming you have 1080p content and a DLNA-capable TV set or some other media device hooked to the TV which can output 1080p

Theoretically, yes. Practically, depends on the device you're playing back media on. In my case, it's a sony blue ray. I have to manually edit config xml file in order to mkvs to be detected as is, since I don't want to transcode something that is playable on the device. The worst thing about editing config files manually is, that after each upgrade of Plex, I have to re-edit them :-(

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.

Sadly, no. I just tried it out on my Dell 3007, and I can only achieve the non-HDCP resolution of 1280x800.

You can, but for any decent quality you would need the wave shield also. If you're looking for a streaming audio server, pick up a raspberry pi, install openElec, and use xbmc's steaming, works very well with android and ios

Yes, just keep in mind that you will not be able to access network services through the HDMI port, but it will play movies from your local drive just fine. File size doesn't matter. I play 4-6 gb full 1080p MKV files all the time. I highly recommend the MKV container (with H.264 encoding) as you can also use Dolby digital 5.1. It is one of the few formats that works well.

read up on HDCP, and see the top review below. This may not work because of DRM.

I use this device to just steam internet videos. If I were planning on using it for digital signage I'd spend more money and at least get the quad core. It will work at 1080p but I have mine set at 720p to improve performance

Quick question to all the video streamers: What resolution videos can you stream? 480, 720, 1080?Can a 802.11 Draft N router be used to stream 720p or 1080p videos? I have a camcorder that records 1080p video and I'd like to stream it wirelessly to my TV from my PC that stores all the videos.Thanks,

It supports 1080p INPUT. but it's native resolution is on 1280X800 so 720p is the best you are going to get.

I never used Plex but I believe that you can once it can be installed in any Android. I use XBMC and I works very well.

You probably . NetFlix & Amazon Prime video are already installed on it. There is a Google TV version of Plex that you can install on it too. I have a Plex server already setup at home, so I just use my Qube as a Plex client. The device doesn't have much RAM, but I believe you can attached external storage to it.

I do not see it having a problem as long as server can feed quick enough over network. I attach directly to tv and have movies running on it all the time as a server so I know it handles 1080p fine w/o network. Get 4gig memory and increase buffer size if you have any issues.

I used to have this device and it's very good for the price, I played 1080p movies without issues, netflix and such. I have also used VLC to play video and music files from a shared drive on a PC, I understand it's not the same as streaming movies from a NAS, however I do think VLC has that capability, so I don't see why it would not work.

I'm not sure as I havent look into it. When I got the unit my concern was the way it streamed 1080p content which is so important for me and it failed...

Haven't used it for that. More/less planned to use as media server. But with alot of content (0.5TB-1TB) it's not ideal.

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 use it to do backups at work. it has Gigabit port and runs fairly fast when running backup. but not sure about 1080p videos.

I think you can attach this to Plex Media Server. I've not tried it. But remember the HDMI cable quality that comes with this devices is junk. It's super bad.
