Polaroid 4K HDR10 10Bit, plex or emby?

Hi All knowledgeable people,

I recently bought this tv after Mrs left taking the Samsung

I can't find a way to install plex or emby.

Anyone know of a method to hack/update/add one of these apps, or an effective way to stream from laptop to the TV. Wireless display is sub optimal.

Thanks.

Get a Roku Express and use that.

It won't be here today!

And I'm trying to decide whether to go microserver with a LP GPU or build a mitx build for longer term.

Thanks though.

If you need it this second, ASDA stock Roku's and they're the same price everywhere anyway.

Fair enough spending £30 isn't an option right now though.

If the TV has a built in media server viewer you'll be able to see the media library that Plex is serving but I don't know if the media will play.

Yip.

For some reason Plex on my Hisense doesn't see my Plex server, but the media player does.
