Side loading plex on to latest NOW TV boxes
oilman

I have read conflicting reports that PLEX can no longer be side-loaded on to NOW TV boxes.

I have looked here and on other forums, and as far as I can tell, those who say it can't have probably not done the side-load procedure properly, as other say they have done it and it works fine.

Can anybody confirm they have sideload on boxes brought in last couple of month or so?

Ok - I could buy one at £10 (actually I understand you have to pay £15 now but get a free Sky pass for a month or something like that but you can cancel immediately) and try it anyway, which I will probably do, but I would be interested if it could be confirmed PLEX can no longer be sideloaded.

I've not tried recently.

The NowTV is basically a Roku XS. It could be that the new version of Plex for Roku client can not be sideloaded onto a NowTV https://blog.plex.tv/2015/02/24/bran...latform-people.

From the Plex post link I posted re the new Plex for Roku client...

"So, what Roku models are supported, then? Roku 1/2/3, Roku Stick, and Roku TV."

The XS is no listed. Maybe there's your answer.

Was the now tv box a recent purchase?

I bought a Now TV box in January and Plex works fine.

Was my old one so about 7 months old, it might be worth looking into rarplex if anyone is having trouble sideloading plex onto now tv, rarplex is plex anyway.

I bought a nowtv box about a month ago and managed to load plex onto it then put rarflix onto it which previously stated is plex

Thanks guys - it seems those saying Plex cannot be side installed are basically incorrect.
