June 14, 201412 yr Who knows if this item allows to access network shares, such as Unraid? http://www.roku.com/products/streaming-stick My WD TV Live works perfectly, but I saw that Roku and was wondering if it will work the same............
June 14, 201412 yr Roku has a 'channel' that you can install for 'Plex'. A 'channel' is like, 'netflix', or 'youtube', 'amazon prime', 'PBS on the web', etc. The Roku PLEX channel uses standard DLNA for network transport. Your movies are on unRAID. PlexMediaServer(PMS) runs on the unRAID and it catalogs your movies, builds previews, creates metadata, etc. The Roku PLEX Channel then accesses (via DLNA transport) the PMS and paints on your TV what looks similar to a Netflix view of all your media, including metadata, etc.
