Hi
Is any sample channel code to access remote Plex Media Server. Currently Roku scan and find local Plex itself. I assumed if I setup all video in my Plex Media Server, I should easily access my content via Roku Box anywhere (without currently using VPN).

I think you're better off going to the Plex Forum for anything Plex related. You should be able to access Plex remotely if you have a MyPlex account. No VPN needed. I do think you need to port forward the Plex Media Server port you used on your router though.

I already did both with MyPlex, with port forwarded, iPhone and Android

I just want to (REMOTELY) use Roku box with big screen . It need to do some programming in the Roku plug-in.

Rogu SDK come with several sample but not one close to what I need.

Install the Plex channel?

ROKU with Plex____Local____Plex Media Server is ok
But
ROKU (Las Vegas)------------Internet----------->Plex Media Server (LA)
Any Solution ?

As trekkeriii suggested, you're best bet is to ask on the Plex forums (http://forums.plexapp.com/). You're not going to be able to modify the official Plex Roku channel, and trying to write your own Plex channel from scratch is no small task.

What you could probably do is run the Plex channel on the roku and put in your public IP address for wherever your home computer/Plex server is, and then set a simple port forward in your home router to send external requests to the plex server.
I'm sure someone on the Plex forums would have done this a gazillion times for their plex users before. That way you wouldn't need to modify much of anything.

WORKED Great. THANKS destruck,

HOWEVER

Still I like to do coding to access Plex Media Server direct without using myPlex.
I like to have sample code (to do Roku Plug-in) if anyone could provide.
I have a project to give each Roku box to access my Plex server (without connect to get pin for each box)

They have the Plex Roku channel source code posted up.
