You're basically paying for the endpoint. If you don't have a static IP from your ISP at your home (or wherever your local media content resides) then this allows you to be able to access your media...

None of that is what the $75 is for. Because all of what you just said is entirely free. Promoting Kodi as a “free alternative” to what is also free is a bit disingenuous.

Are you talking about the DVR? Because that may be pretty similar. But Plex is much more than a DVR.

Ah okay, I see what you’re trying to do. The main differences with Plex is that it does not use DLNA. With playon you are essentially just making the files available locally, and any device you...

You should start by bypassing your router with your Plex box and making sure you can access your Plex box remotely.
