Does plex finally support reading files from network shares?
Plex is based on XBMC (aka Kodi), which supports reading from the network natively, which leads me to believe they disabled this on purpose and I've never understood the rationale behind it. It makes plex almost useless to me and anyone else who uses a nas or similar to store files. Expecting that I will run plex itself from my nas because they disabled network access is laughable.
Also their UI has consistently been going downhill for the last several versions.
- cthalupa 11y agoPlex the server is not based on XBMC/Kodi. Plex the server has supported reading files from network shares for a very very very (very) long time. The Home Theater client was based on XBMC, but it only ever connected to the server.
