If you want to use this as a server from which you for example want to stream video files from your Mac to your (non-Apple TV) streaming box, you need to buy a $5 per month or $150 one-time subscription. For $150 I can also buy the new Apple TV and have this feature and much more included.
I guess this could be a four of five star application if Plex Inc. would be straight and forthcoming about the pricing but at it is it does not deserve more than one star.
