For the best experience you’ll want one that supports the Plex app, but you can also access content from the media server using the ubiquitous DNLA, which nearly all streaming players support – including my WD TV. There used to only be a few options, namely from WD TV and Roku, but now nearly every content provider also has an offering, from Apple to Amazon to Google to name a few. Lastly you need either a smart TV that supports Plex (some LG, Sony, Toshiba TVs), or a streaming player that you simply plug into your TV via HDMI.
I’m using my desktop computer that I discussed in my article on the “ the gaming console you may already own“. To store your DVD backups you need a computer that is always on, or a NAS (basically an external storage drive that plugs into your router).
MAKEMKV STREAM TO ROKU SOFTWARE
In this article I’m using free software called Plex to organise and stream media files to my TV. And you can ditch your DVD player at last. In this article I’ll describe how you can build your own streaming service, so you can play back your entire DVD collection, from a user interface that will rival the best streaming service. And I also have a collection of films, many of which aren’t available, even if you do subscribe to a streaming service. Joking aside, I still buy DVDs – it’s often the best value way of getting a box set for instance. But then you did have all the extras like deleted scenes (that were usually deleted for a reason), and interviews (for the real devotees). Before the advent of services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, I remember when you used to buy DVDs and sit through 5 minutes of warnings about severe fines for playing back on oil rigs and such like.
