After years of moving my laptop between the living room TV and the one in my bedroom (to play videos saved) I decided to buy an Android box (T9) a few days ago. My "plan" on what I wanted it to do has run into a few roadblocks. I cant figure out how to save from the box to the external harddrive plugged into it (a bit disappointing, but not a dealbreaker). All I have to do now is remove the harddrive back and forth and not a laptop (big win here for me).

Well today I was reading an article about plex and gave it a try. Placed the server on the laptop and went to add it to the new box, but then thought "maybe my Roku TV can run the app" and sure enough both my TVs can run Plex lol.

In the end all I really wanted I have without needing the Android box. I still plan on experimenting with Kodi and other things so I have no regrets on the purchase. I will be moving soon and plan on having a better home theater and Kodi sounds like it can handle the video and audio. I might need a better box (nvidia etc.)

Should add that Plex cost me additional money and money is always an important variable for most of us.
