Media Link Function

(This feature is not available for all country.)
The Media Link program allows you to connect to a
Plex Media Server. The Plex Media Server is free
download from www.plexapp.com. It will allow to
play media files and download Plex apps. The Plex
apps download to your computer and do not use
any space on the TV.

NOTE

We recommend that you install version
0.9.1.14 or later of PLEX Media Server on
your Mac or PC. (Download the installation
file at http://www.plexapp.com/medialink)

GUI is displayed in English and the data
transmitted will not be displayed when
using the following languages: Thai, Arabic,
Persian, Hebrew, Kurdish.

When using the video plug-in, initial
buffering may take a while if the TV does
not support a file to be played and
conversion needs to be performed on the
computer. The conversion performance
may vary depending on the computer’s
performance and the network speed.

When playing the files stored on the
computer (movies, TV shows, music), the
formats supported are the same as those
for the DLNA function. The skip to content
function is not supported when playing
music. (Same for DLNA)

You may experience problems when playing
HD movies over Wi-Fi due to the network
slowing down.

When using a router, the TV may not detect
the computer due to the router settings.
(For example, when using the multicast
forward function in some routers, TVs
cannot detect computers via Wi-Fi.)

Some plug-ins may not work, depending on
the media format.

Plug-ins are subject to change and may stop
working without prior notice, at the
providers’ discretion.
