Plex Website:

Quote:We’re working with LG Electronics (the second largest TV manufacturer in the world)*to integrate the Plex platform into their 2011 lineup of Netcast™ connected TVs and Blu-ray devices. So early next year, when you buy an LG Netcast™ TV or Blu-ray player, you will have Plex functionality built-in. Specifically, it will connect to a cloud version of the Plex platform for online content, and, if you happen to have a Plex Media Server running anywhere in your house (after all, who doesn’t have a computer in their house?), you can access your local and online content, in a rich interface, with full metadata.

Quote: LG chose our platform in no small part because it is OPEN, and that is what makes it special.
I take issue with this statement. With the latest update, Plex moves even more code into the closed source “Plex Media Center” component of the application. All of the changes to the Library and so on are all in the closed source portion of the application. It contravenes the spirit of the GPL and FOSS in my opinion.
