Your content doesn't go through the plex servers. That's just the auth servers. The client on your phone talks directly to the server on you network.
I'm running a plex server that feeds my android devices, my kids roku and I can also watch it from the web wherever.
I run a WDTV Live running wdlxtv in the living room. It pulls the media directly off of the server (WHS 2011). I'm looking to retire that though cause it's clunky especially with netflix and other streaming services.
I'm probably going to look into an OUYA running XBMC when they are finally released. So far the results are impressive.
Damn... its official, I'm getting old. I just said to myself, jeebus that sounds fucking complicated to just watch something.
It is. I wish someone would just release a box similar to the roku that just had all the streaming apps and also streamed any file type from any share on the network and cost under 150. That's it. That's all I ask for. It's not much.
