Well sure, if you let it search your PC for media files instead of just telling it which folders your library is in. It still ceates its own metadata folders , but that's because it downloads scads of stuff from the internet (images, soundtrack snippets, subtitles, etc...) I've got a linux Plex Media Server streaming to 3 Rokus, and various tablets around the house. Couldn't imagine life without it. For almost totally "hands off" media management/streaming, it can't be beat in my opinion (plus it still let's you "fiddle around" if you've a mind to)..
