Plex for Samsung TVs and Blu-ray Players
Last updated: May 10, 2020
Table of Contents
We’re getting pretty tired of waiting (and waiting) for LG to update the ST600 firmware so the Plex Media Link app can actually play the popular video formats we all use.
It’s entirely possible that the lack of love LG are showing the ST600 may even mean it’s hurtling towards being cancelled! That would be pretty sad as it’s never even got the chance to show what it can do yet.
Meanwhile back at the ranch we’re looking around again for that magic £99 box to bring our Plex library to secondary zones around the house (bedrooms etc). The guys working on Plex for Samsung have made great progress and their widget is looking really polished. Perhaps best of all, in addition to Samsung TV’s it also works on Series C and Series D Samsung Blu-Ray players which you can pick up for as little as £89. Check out the video of Plex for Samsung…
‘Welcome to Plex for Samsung TV’s / BD-Player’s – With this widget it is possible to watch your Movies and TV-Shows, which are organized by your Plex Media Server (PMS) , on your Samsung TV / BD-Player (C-Serie / D-Serie). If your TV/BD-Player has Internet@TV or SmartHub you should be able to install this widget. If you are thinking about to buy a new TV / BD-Player because of this widget I highly recommend you to get one from the D-Series.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about this page with us.
Whether it's praise for something good, or ideas to improve something that
isn't quite right, we're excited to hear from you.
Will it bitstream True-HD and DTS-HD or convert to LPCM if those formats are in the file? How about picking an audio track and subtitles? What files formats does it support?
Nice one mark, just installed Plex on the Samsung blu ray I bought after reading this….. Awesome, especially the online install, so easy !
Plex has won me over, well now it has a windows client too 🙂
Darren – good to hear, thanks for letting us know.
