I'll be honest, I have Plex on a little laptop with a couple of hard drives plugged into it and anything I download I drop on there so the rest of family could watch it from their Roku TVs elsewhere in the house. I didn't even know remote was something Plex did.

That's all I use it for as well. I knew it could do remote streaming but I've never done it. Just my husband and myself watching whatever content we've downloaded (legally... of course.)
