Plex Lets You Stream Your Media to iDevices

Posted August 31, 2010 at 12:39pm by iClarified · 6248 views
The Plex application allows you to use your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch to browse and play your media (video, photos and music) using the Plex Media Server installed on your Mac. In addition, you can view online media from a variety of sources. If you have Aperture, iPhoto, or iTunes installed you can also stream the content to your mobile device.

The application also functions as a full-featured remote for the Plex Media Center application.

The media is streamed directly from your Mac, and there is no need to convert before viewing. You can stream over the Internet over 3G, but you will need to set up port forwarding to do so.

Please note that streaming of DRM-protected content such as older music from the iTunes store, or video files purchased from iTunes, is not supported.

You can purchase Plex from the App Store for $4.99.
