Hi,

Is it possible to load plex on a MAG256 for playback only, not the server part. Can’t seem to find any information on the forum

Cheers

What is a MAG256?  
If it is an Android device, then no - Plex Server for Android is only available on the nVidia Shield.

Looks like it’s a Linux box. For client only, I’m pretty sure OpenPHT supports Linux. Not sure about the Plex Media Player.

A MAG256 is a IPTV streaming device built by infomir and runs a Linux 3.3 OS

That means it is running already some kind of IPTV client software.  
I am unsure how PMP or OpenPHT could tap into it.  
If you can get Kodi to run on it, then you could maybe use the Plex4Kodi Add-On.
