Plex media server is an XBMC branch that works by installing the Plex server on a computer or NAS, then installing the Plex app from the App Store on the Samsung TV. This gives many, though not all of XBMC's functions in regards to playing back locally stored media. Plex has streaming plugins, though I'm not sure where the app on the Samsung is in regards to those functions.

I know, I know. Once you've gone XBMC nothing else is quite the same. I have setup plex for family via roku and Samsung, and it's good for the non techie. And Davilla, when you get the Xios Linux build to the stage where it's plug and go, I'll start giving those as gifts instead of Roku's.
