There is no piece of Homebrew that could ever be made that would beat PLEX. WiiMc will never, ever even come close. Not only does it already NATIVELY run everything in 1080p (if that is it's native resolution) but it is like it was built for the GamePad AND you can access it ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD at ANY TIME on ANY device with an internet browser OR PLEXAPP. Oh, and it is free and already available, it has an very user-friendly GUI and is COMPLETELY customizable...
You are either a simpleton, or a liar, either way, what you say is not true. You can do all of those things and more with PLEX.
Can't rewind or fast forward... You are smoking straight up crack rocks, guy...
By the way, there are plugins for every file format known to man as well for PLEX, and as I said before, all in native 1080p if that happens to be your file resolution.

I'm sorry to join the offtopic (maybe a mod can split us off somewhere) but I want to join the "Plex is a pile of Pap" train.
Yes the UI is nice, but it failed to identify ANY of my media correctly and has no "file system" mode for those of us who already have a nicely organised media collection. Oh, they have a way of identifying files by filename but that involves renaming ALL media into a monstrously untidy format - listen up software creators.... STOP telling people HOW to organize their files. If you insist on using libraries and not including a file browser mode then you ASK the user how their files are named, you DONT TELL THEM!
I gave Servio a go which, while it's UI was not nearly as nice, at least enabled me to set it up to browse based on directory structures. If I got a WiiU that would be what I would use; but a native Media Centre is always preferable - eases up the strain on my computer which has better things to do than sit around encoding and streaming media.

Xbmc is so much better than Plex.
That's all.

PLEX is just terrible. XBMC is really easy to use. PLEX on PC doesn't even let you use your mouse to control the POS
Plex is not Wii/Wii U homebrew so how can you even compare the two.
Can plex handle external subs? Preferably .srt?
