Keep in mind that following list is not full because Plex developers are constantly working and updating their software and I do not have the resources to test them all, You can easily test your client by putting stream url into a \*.strm file and loading it into Plex as Home Video as mentioned [above][1] and [below][7], please [contact me][9] if it happens to work on Your device that is listed as not working or unknown.
You can test your client by putting stream url into a \*.strm file and loading it into Plex as Home Video as mentioned [above][1] and [below][7].

Also You can try running a dedicated transcoding service and get Your streams in [preferable format](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/539331#Comment_539331), [VODServer] is a good and free example.
