    Not quite, I think those just stream over Wi-Fi like Chromecast?

    Plex has a full media server application that your can run on a computer, and you can stream your media from it over the internet to any device that has the Plex client app.

    I have a Plex server set up and running on an old laptop in my bedroom with a huge library of movies and TV shows. It acts like basically any streaming service such as Netflix, but it’s my own stuff. I can watch from anywhere on any device that has a Plex client app. I can also send invitations to friends and family so they can access it, too.
