Due to different goals and vision from the XBMC team, they soon forked the code to become Plex, and published it on GitHub. The developers continued collaborating with the Linux-based XBMC project until May 21, 2008. The team released early versions of the port, called OSXBMC, intended for eventual full integration into Mac OS X. They contacted him and offered support and funding, forming a three-person team in January 2008. Around the same time, Cayce Ullman and Scott Olechowski-software executives who had recently sold their previous company to Cisco-were also looking to port XBMC to OS X, and noticed Feingold's progress via XBMC online forums. He ported the media player XBMC (since renamed Kodi) to Mac OS X. Plex began as a freeware hobby project in December 2007 when developer Elan Feingold created a media center application for his Apple Mac. It was still used on the Media Server browser interface until early August of the same year.

I don't need to buy a Shield Pro, I don't need the crappy Plex app anymore.Plex logo from 2013 to April 27, 2022. I can even choose to auto convert DTS to AC3 audio on the fly, Since the LG CX won't play DTS

I can find subs and metadata with Video Station and keep all my collection updated I can direct play UHD 4K HDR large movie files without any buffer or gaps easily. Then I started to look for solutions that would be a better Plex client and I found the Nvidia Shield Pro being the most recommended for 200 merkels.īut then I just realized that my LG CX is DNLA enable and I can find my DS220+ in the input list as network storage and I was really surprised and happy that I bought a Synology NAS Even larger 4k files struggles and buffers a lot. It won't play anything higher than 1080p with Subs. I recently purchased a LG CX, yes the IQ is absolutely fantastic, but then the Streaming dilema started.įirst choice was obviously Plex, but the WebOS Plex app is extremely inefficient.
