Question about PLEX and Xbox One
If I have an Xbox One and I install the PLEX App on it, can I simply plug in an external HD filled with movies and shows into the USB port on the Xbox One and browse everything through Plex?
I really love Plex's design interface, just wondering if I need a separate computer to achieve this.

No, you can use the Xbox Media Player for that though. Plex is a streaming client that looks for a Plex server, it doesn't handle local content.

Isn't there a built in app for this kind of thing, now?

You need a Plex Pass subscription to use it on the One... *sigh*
