If you own a ton of DVDs, digging them out to watch a movie or show you love can be painful. And that\u2019s why you should consider digitizing them and creating a Plex server<\/a>. Setting up a Plex server is like creating your own personal Netflix for the stuff you own. It used to be that getting the hardware together was either expensive, complicated, or both. But with an Nvidia Shield Pro,<\/a> it couldn\u2019t be easier to set up your own Plex server.<\/p>\n

How easy is it? The hardest part of the Plex hardware itself will be buying the Nvidia Shield Pro. At $200 on average<\/a>\u00a0(sales do happ<\/a>en!), it\u2019s not a coffee and snacks level of money. But at the same time, it\u2019s also far less expensive than a full computer system dedicated to just streaming your stuff. And thanks to its mobile processor setup, it\u2019s more energy efficient to run all the time too. You\u2019ll also want to pick up a hefty hard drive<\/a> (or two) to hold all your digitized movies<\/a>. Or better yet, pick up a NAS<\/a> and a couple of huge hard drives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you buy the Shield Pro, setting up the Plex software is as easy as hitting an install button in the Play Store and then signing in with an account. It\u2019s far simpler than turning a Raspberry Pi into a server<\/a>, and you\u2019ll get better results. A Raspberry Pi Plex server will struggle to keep up with any Blu-ray quality rips. But the Nvidia Shield Pro can handle them like a champ.<\/p>\n

The first time you log into Plex, it\u2019ll notice you\u2019re on an Nvidia Shield Pro and offer to set up for a Plex server. Just follow the prompts; you\u2019ll be finished before you know it. If it seems complicated, the people at Plex put together a quick guide.<\/a> Just don\u2019t forget to go into the Shield\u2019s settings and give it access to your external hard drive or NAS unit.<\/p>\n

After that, the tedious process begins. You\u2019ll need to digitize all your DVDs and get them onto your hard drive or NAS. You\u2019ll have to be careful to name them correctly, too, as doing so will let Plex automatically sort them and add the proper episode titles, artwork, and more. But don\u2019t worry, our sister site, How-To Geek, has a great explainer on the process<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you already have an Nvidia Shield Pro and a ton of DVDs lying around, then there\u2019s no reason not to set up a Plex server. You\u2019ll be able to watch your stuff from home and on the go, from your smart TV, your gaming console, or even your phone and tablet. And you\u2019ll never have to worry about receiving the dreaded notification of your favorite show leaving your streaming service again. Get on it!<\/p>\n
