Thanks, but I think you and @Velocio are contradicting each other here regarding the transcoding. Unless I'm missing something, by 'merely read file' do you (Velocio) mean a direct play without any transcoding (in the case of a local server and client).

I understand from other people's issues here that wireless bandwidth can be an issue in that case also, but I hope to get an Ethernet connection between client and server, though that would mean a different client from the standard Roku.

We might not be contradicting each other.

For pure Plex on an LAN there's no need to transcode.

But if the Roku clients ask for a transcode then Plex is going to transcode.

Ah so the Roku version of Plex might not have the capability the client usually would (or the hardware doesn't). Out of interest is there a client that would never ask for a transcode? The Roku may get replaced with something with an Ethernet port.
