I've been using Plex for a long time and would love to see it on OpenBSD however it's closed source proprietary so don't hold your breath. I currently have an older mac that runs Plex media server but NFS mounts my OpenBSD server where all the media resides. Eventually my plan is to get a vmm guest spun up where I run the Plex media server either under Linux or FreeBSD. If you want something which can be made to run natively perhaps the best option is to look at porting something like xbmc/kodi which from the few minutes I spent on github looks open source so you'd "just" need to write a port around it :) .jh
