I've recently been setting up my media center and server. When I tried out Plex as an option back in April/May, it did not support ISO's. At one point, they did support ISO's, but they have since removed that feature. I went with Kodi for a variety of reasons. And Kodi is available on Android devices. Not sure about iOS devices though. If you are streaming over slower connections from your server than Plex is a decent option.
