Here are the very basics on how to get Plex installed and running on your Now TV Box.
The first thing you need to do is enter developer mode on the Now TV box.
With the remote control from the home page press the following sequence of buttons.
Home x 3, Up x 2, right, left, right, left, right.
You have to do this fairly quickly but when you get to this screen you have succeeded.
Press the ok button to enable developer mode.
At that point the Now TV will reboot.
When you're back at the home page, press the same sequence on the remote control again.
When you reach this screen make a note of the address and then get onto your computer.
Open up a browser on your desktop and type in the link or screen or use the link in the
description.
This will download the Plex install file for Now TV onto your computer.
Now type in the address currently displayed on the Now TV box into the address bar of
the browser.
That should display the following screen called Development Application installer.
Click choose file, locate the Plex file (it should be a zip file) and then click install.
The following screen should display saying install success and if you go back to your
television it should now be displaying the Plex application.
That's how to get Plex on your Now TV box and this is how to stream content onto it.
Return to you computer and go to the Plex website and download the installer (a link
is in the description).
Once the program has installed, it should be running in your task bar and if you load
it, it should open up a browser.
On the my library portion of the screen click add section and then locate the folder on
your computer with media content that you want to share and stream.
The program will then catalogue all the media and you should start to see it appear on screen
like this.
More often than not Plex will be able to work out what the content is and start displaying
artwork.
So with the content now in the Plex library it's ready to stream to other devices.
Go back to Plex on your Now TV box.
Select preferences and then select Plex media servers select the discover servers options
and with any luck you will recognise your computer name appear towards the bottom of
the screen.
Back out of the preferences and you will see a familiar range of content.
This is your Plex libaray.
So, browse your content and choose something to watch.
And this is a demo of how quick it is to buffer from one place
to another.
That's the basics.
I hope you found it useful.
