If the video that you're requesting isn't a supported format the Plex server can take the file and re-encode it live into a format that the client understands. When the client connects to the server it can describe which video formats it can play. However, it's the client that makes it act differently.
Plex works and acts like any DLNA server you may already have, such as the one built into your NAS.
The server is completely free and is also DLNA compliant, which means that any DLNA device (TV, smartphone, games console, etc) can connect to it and start streaming content. Plex is actually a combination of two things: a server where all of your media sits and a client, which you use to access your data. Plex Transcoding and how it differs from a DLNA media server In this article we'll show you how to set up Plex on your home network and start streaming over your home network using your PC, Mac, tablet, smartphone, Chromecast, Apple TV and even Smart TV. Of course, it supports music and photos, too. Using this software you can play any video on your Chromecast or Apple TV, for example. Unlike traditional DLNA media servers, Plex has built-in transcoding, which means that it converts videos on the fly to play on any device running the Plex Media Client. If it doesn't, you'll need to convert the video into a different format, which can be time consuming, or use the Plex media server. Our goal is to enable people to enjoy Plex on the hardware platforms of their choice, and there is no doubt this will be a top platform for us.One of the big problems about streaming videos over your home network is making sure that the receiving device has support for the format. The ability to access great and proven iOS frameworks on the device is great for developers like us - we know the stuff is solid and will perform really well. We are now evaluating the best path for Plex and will begin work in earnest once we have evaluated the options. There are multiple ways to go about it, based on the tvOS SDK we now have access to. He replied, “There is no question we will be able to offer Plex on the platform. I further inquired if Olechowski believed that tvOS will allow Plex developers to offer the app to the platform or if there could still be any hurdles. We want it, our users want it…and we’re anxiously awaiting the tvOS developer beta info, so we can finally dig in.” It’s been a long requested platform and we’re excited to work on it. I reached out to Plex via email and Scott Olechowski, the co-founder of Plex replied, saying, “We are very excited to have a crack at bringing our users Apple TV.
