Upsets me that they want to charge a fairly steep price for Plexpass, considering how basic the functionality is.

Same. My PS4 one just hasn't been working well the last couple of nights is why I asked.

Why the hell wouldnt these two companies Microsoft and Sony allow this feature to be used? If it is a true media device?

So you can perform this action on an xbone and not have to use Plex?

Yeah, just don't reformat the hard drive. Probably easier to use a USB drive.

Yeah I have a 2 TB external I use for extra hard drive space, but once I reformatted it for that I can't just load things on to it from my computer.

Before the plex app came out I used a small 32 GB USB drive to watch stuff from my computer.

I can stream movies wirelessly from my Samsung tablet to my Xbone.

You need the Xbox video app to do it. That's how mine streams but you also need the movie installed on your tablet / SD card.
