I have an MC based server connected to 4 x Output Clients (iPad, PC, Video Renderer connected to 4K TV with madVR – PC HW based, Devialet through Devialet AIR from Server for Audio). But this is for me not the point in that was Plex is doing. I tested Plex a few times ago, but MC was much better for me. But, the pucks have won, at least this round. I don't have one, and I'm not really in the market right now.

Longer term, though, I think strategically they're probably right.

Overall, whether this turns out to be a good tactical move for Plex remains to be seen. The only issue really is that watched status and position doesn't sync. You have some issues in mobile device support for video, but it works alongside Plex just fine. * Import the media folders from your MC Library into Plex to serve to mobile clients and any TV-pucks you have, and MC will let you 'perfect' the file naming structure to conform perfectly with what Plex expects. * Use all of the tools and organizational prowess of MC to manage your media (which Plex doesn't provide at all and you have to do it like an animal). MC works quite well alongside Plex (that's exactly what I do). Still, I do think JRiver could capture some of the fleeing HTPC users. You'd be a lot better positioned to take advantage of it, IMHO, if a few issues were addressed. As they said, I'm sure the vast majority of their users just use TV-connected pucks of one variety or another. You have to use a mouse to control most things, but on my laptop that's rarely a big deal. The handful of times I've used it from a computer, it was my laptop hooked up to a hotel or friend's projector or whatever, and I've just used the web interface. I use Plex nearly-exclusively for mobile device playback (iPad and a tiny bit of iPhone). A a fullscreen, remote-control enabled mode of the Desktop app for Windows. They're talking about their version of Theater View. I use Plex, and I know basically what they're talking about.
