What I like about plex is the server/client separation.
I think for a server that downloads torrents, and is up all the time, it makes a lot of sense to have also the data scrubbing, subtitle downloading and other data retrieval functions.
The player then is "just" a player.
I know plex is based on XBMC. I don't know enough about XBMC (I'm a boxee deserter looking around for my next software) or about plex. I have installed and looked at plex, and while it works and seems nice, the interface is sluggish. My next test is going to be the XBMC 11.0. However, I though to ask this question about plex-server interoperability.
Thanks,
Dan
