Thanks for the replies guys. As for not finding the PLEX server, travanx hit the nail on the head. I had to open Windows Media Player, click "Streams" at the top, then check "Automatically allow devices to play my media. I was then able to see my created folders without issue.
Here's my newest PLEX audio issue:
The TV runs through the optical out to a Vizio soundbar. Only some of my .mkv rips will play audio through to the soundbar...however...most of the .mkv files which will not send audio out to the soundbar WILL play audio through the TV speakers. If it was a unsupported DTS codec issue, wouldn't I get no sound whatsoever?
I'm using WHS (windows home server) as my DLNA server running though a D-Link DIR-655 router. I've had no issues streaming to a WD HD Live box. PLEX sees almost all of my rips (sans isos), while the TV's built in DLNA sees very little.
I do have to say that Netflix works very well (watched a full movie last night), but Youtube is nonexistant (I can't even load a video). So this TV is getting better, but not quite there yet.
Edit: Double checked the files...it looks like the native DLNA doesn't see .mkv at all...the HD movies it was seeing were WMA files.
