---

Anyone plz guide step by step installation of PLEX and make it working.

You need to download Plex media sever software for the computer you want to stream from.

Follow this guide to setup videos on the media server:

Install the Android Plex app, and if you are on the same WIFI network, your PC will show up in the Android Plex app.

There are lots of good info on the Plex website, here are some example. There seems to be lots of reading, but its very simple to setup.

The only problem is if your TV shows are not in Season number, episode number format, they might not be added correctly to the media server. More info can be found here.

Over all, I found Plex is the best solution to watch videos.

P.S. The Plex Android Honeycomb app has some bugs need to be worked out compared to 2.2+ version. E.g. the resume playback doesn’t work and the app froze sometimes.

Let us know if you run into any problems.

hello. I am having a problem with plex.

I can see the library on the server (localhost:32400)
The android client finds the server but doesnt detect any movie.
I just have the choice to download plugins.

the server is win vista 32, the client is xoom 3.1 root. They are both on the same LAN.

Thanks for your help.

Happened once with me. Just remove Plex from your Xoom and re-install. Fixed it for me. Hopefully it will do the same for you,

Cheers.

Does anyone know it is possible to get plex connected with my Synology NAS? All my media in on the NAS.

It didn't work for me.

You would need to map the nas as a network drive and then you could browse the folders in plex to add them to the library. I have all of my media on a nas and use plex to get it to my mobile devices and then have it shared for the desktop/laptops.

Can you see movies in the Plex Media Manager (ie, the web browser page through which you configure the Plex server)?

Yes they appear in the browser in the manager.
