I don't doubt the validity of those sentiments. I'm just perplexed (see what I did there) as to what the specific issue is in this case because I thought Plex was for streaming stuff from one side of your house to the other (and/or playing it back).
not necessarily, you can also have a plex server at home and as a student have a laptop in your dorm or at school and watch stuff there. or on the move when you're using a mobile phone, etc.
