himedia box like lot of player NOT need plex server , all media format h.264,h.265  are supported.

himedia player need only a SMB/samba net shared folder.

You can use plex client with external player himdiavideooplayer ,but there are plex server limmitaion : no external subtitle, no ISO file ecc..
Kodi it's best option form jukebox.

Plex server it's good for smart tv only support DLNA and few video format.

Why do you need plex server?
