Hi there,
I'm relatively new to Plex; I've been a Kodi/xbmc user since 2007. After recently installing PMS on my Synology DS1515+, and a few player apps on a few devices, I eagerly installed several channels. Many of these channels were similar to add-ons I'd been using on Kodi (e.g. PBS, CBS, etc.)
Much to my disappointment however, several of the channels I was most excited to use (ABC, ABC-family, CW, NBC, and several others) are all incompatible with nearly every way I have of playing them (Windows, web, XBox-One, Windows mobile). Each of these apps has the limitation, "This channel is compatible with Plex for Android, Plex for iOS, Plex for Roku and Plex/Web+Safari/Mac only!"
So my question is, what gives? Why is this? Some of the best channels are not available on Plex-HT or Plex MP, the two "premiere" playback clients? And why no love for anything by Microsoft?
Is this a technical issue, a licensing issue, or just "we haven't yet gotten to it" issue?
Thanks for informing a newbie...
