Customer Reviews
Great System
I've been using this system for some time now and it's works great. It works well across all my devices and I have about 6 friends setup on my Plex Pass account who regularly watch from there own and I have zero hiccups... worthy program for any media centre set up.
It's great
Mate if mine is uploading all the movies on weekly basis so I have them all ready to watch , before that we needed to put it on a pen . Now with all the choices and access watching movies is far simpler !
Great
Works great but there are some features that are needed such as subtitle sync, and using the custom channels for manga dont really work on the mobile device but will work perfectly well on the server its self.
That is all, hurry up and bring in plex cloud!
