Most people buy dedicated hardware for Plex, but you can test it using your desktop or laptop without spending a dime.<\/p>\n<p>The days of cheap streaming are long gone. Services like Netflix are prohibitively expensive and offer much smaller libraries than they did just a few years ago. A personal collection of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs can alleviate this problem, but if you want to <em>stream<\/em> the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> you own, you need a service like Plex.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plex_Lets_You_Build_Your_Own_Streaming_Service\"><\/span>Plex Lets You Build Your Own Streaming Service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At a glance, Plex can seem very complicated and confusing. It\u2019s a very unique service, and unlike Netflix or Hulu, it requires a bit of setup and patience.<\/p>\n<p>But the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> idea behind Plex is very straightforward; it lets you stream your personal media to any phone, computer, or smart TV. You provide the files, and Plex automatically organizes everything into a clean and easy-to-use interface. It\u2019s like building your own streaming service for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, TV shows, and music. (You can even add unique categories to Plex, like a collection of concert videos, family videos, or sports recordings.)<\/p>\n<p>Plex even offers some advanced features, such as the ability to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/118023\/how-to-add-local-tv-channels-to-your-plex-server\/\">stream and record antenna TV. And it\u2019s highly customizable if you\u2019re willing to put in the work. Of course, the big selling point is that you can stream Plex from anywhere\u2014you can even share it with friends or family outside your home. (Though some of these features require Plex Pass, which we\u2019ll discuss later.)<\/p>\n<p>I should also mention playlists, which might be my favorite Plex feature. You can throw movies or shows into custom playlists to shuffle them randomly or play them in a specific order. For example, you might make a playlist of\u00a0<em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Angel<\/em>, which aired back-to-back and often had overarching plot points or references.<\/p>\n<p>In order to use Plex, you need to set up a Plex Media Server. This is a device that runs the Plex software, handles all your files, and processes video for streaming. You can use the computer that you already own as a Plex Media Server, though I suggest buying a dedicated device that can stay online 24\/7, such as an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NVIDIA-Shield-Android-Streaming-Performance\/dp\/B07YP9FBMM\/?tag=lsmedia-13741-20\">NVIDIA Shield TV Pro<\/a>, a NAS device, or a small Intel NUC computer.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be a rocket scientist to put together a Plex Media Server. The Plex software guides you through this process, and if you follow the instructions correctly, you won\u2019t run into any problems. (When people have problems with Plex, it\u2019s usually a matter of\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/142119-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/support.plex.tv\/articles\/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">poor file organization<\/a>. Even the most inexperienced computer users can avoid this problem by patiently reading the instructions.)<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plex_Is_Also_an_All-In-One_Streaming_Destination\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Plex Is Also an All-In-One Streaming Destination<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114075\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/09dd8c26.png\" alt=\"The new universal search function in Plex.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/142119-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/www.plex.tv\/blog\/end-the-streaming-struggle-with-plex\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">Plex<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While Plex is best known for its personal media streaming capabilities, it\u2019s also an all-in-one platform for your streaming needs. The Plex Discover feature, which was introduced in 2022, allows you to search for content across all streaming service platforms. It can also find specific information about cast and crew, such as the full list of Gene Wilder\u2019s film credits.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Plex\u00a0provides a ton of free on-demand content and live TV channels. This ad-supported content is similar to what you\u2019ll find on Pluto TV or Tubi, but it\u2019s integrated directly into the Plex app (in a dedicated tab and on your Plex home page.)\u00a0And yes, you can stream this free content without setting up a Plex Media Server.<\/p>\n<p>Note that these additional features exist to\u00a0<em>supplement<\/em> the Plex experience. Most people treat Plex as a personal streaming service and rarely touch Discover or the free Movies &amp; Shows. If you want to disable these features, you can.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plex_Is_Free_but_a_Membership_Is_Worth_the_Money\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Plex Is Free, but a Membership Is Worth the Money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-142132\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc30b83.png\" alt=\"Three people streaming Plex on their phones.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Plex<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By default, Plex is a free service. The mobile app costs a few dollars, but if you only plan to stream on computers and smart TVs, you can set everything up without spending a dime. This makes it very easy to test Plex. But if you stick with this service, you will eventually sign up for Plex Pass.<\/p>\n<p>A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/142119-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/www.plex.tv\/plex-pass\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">Plex Pass<\/a> subscription only costs $5 a month, and lifetime memberships regularly go on sale for around $90. That may seem like a lot of money to spend on Plex (after all, you\u2019re streaming stuff you already own). But the perks included with Plex Pass are just too good\u2014it\u2019s absolutely worth the price.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of my favorite Plex Pass features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Remote Streaming<\/strong>: If you want to stream Plex outside of your home, you need Plex Pass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hardware Transcoding<\/strong>: Your server may need to process a video to make it compatible with a playback device (or slow internet). Hardware transcoding makes this task a lot less resource-intensive, which is especially useful when streaming large video files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free Mobile Apps<\/strong>: You don\u2019t need to pay for Plex\u2019s mobile apps if you have Plex Pass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offline Streaming<\/strong>: Save media to a device for offline viewing or listening.<\/li>\n<li>Content Restrictions: Keep your kids from seeing inappropriate content on Plex.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip Intros<\/strong>: Plex Pass gives you the option to skip TV show intros.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trailers and Extras<\/strong>: Your Plex server will automatically find trailers and extra clips to accompany movies, sort of like DVD extras.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch and Record Live TV<\/strong>: Plug an OTA receiver into your Plex Media Server to stream and save antenna TV broadcasts. Plex can even remove ads from DVR recordings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiple Movie Cuts<\/strong>: Keep multiple cuts of the same movie, such as the theatrical and director\u2019s cuts of <em>Alien<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Music Features<\/strong>: Unlock the Plexamp music player, automatic song lyrics, additional music controls, offline listening, and an optional Tidal discount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clearly, Plex Pass is a necessity for anyone who wants to stream Plex outside their home. But it also improves the overall Plex experience. I\u2019m not sure how I could live without the ability to skip intros, stream antenna TV, and use the Plexamp music player.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/142119-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/www.plex.tv\/plex-pass\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">Plex Pass<\/a> at the Plex website.

But as I mentioned earlier, if you follow the instructions, you shouldn\u2019t run into any problems. The Plex Media Server software will try to guide you through setup, though you can find a ton of additional resources at the Plex website.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s no point in rewriting Plex\u2019s\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/142119-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/support.plex.tv\/articles\/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">detailed installation instructions<\/a>. But I will give you a gist of what you need (and what you can expect) when setting up a Plex Media Server. I\u2019m going to approach this from a beginner\u2019s perspective, because I want you to test Plex for free before you spend a bunch of money on this stuff.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A Computer<\/strong>: You can use any Mac or PC as your Plex Media Server, even if it\u2019s the computer you use every day. All you need is the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/142119-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/www.plex.tv\/media-server-downloads\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">Plex Media Server software<\/a>. I wouldn\u2019t call this a permanent solution, as you need to leave your computer on when Plex is in use. But it\u2019s the best way to test Plex for free. (You can always uninstall Plex from your machine.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ethernet Cable<\/strong>: Give your Plex Media Server a wired internet connection. It\u2019s faster and more reliable than Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Media Files<\/strong>: You need media files for Plex! If you don\u2019t own any digital content, you\u2019ll have to rip it from DVDs, CDs, and Blu-Ray discs. (Unfortunately, platforms like iTunes add DRM to their media to prevent unauthorized playback. To play DRM-protected content in Plex, you need to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/291612\/how-to-remove-drm-from-itunes-movies-and-tv-shows\/\">remove the DRM<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Patience<\/strong>: Follow the Plex installation instructions, paying special attention to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/142119-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/support.plex.tv\/articles\/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">file organization<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Smart TV<\/strong>: Install the Plex app on your smart TV and start streaming your personal media library!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The above steps will help you test Plex without spending any money on hardware. That said, hardcore Plex users tend to have much more elaborate setups. If you find that you enjoy Plex, I strongly suggest buying an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NVIDIA-Shield-Android-Streaming-Performance\/dp\/B07YP9FBMM\/?tag=lsmedia-13741-20\">NVIDIA Shield TV Pro<\/a> or a NAS device for use as your media server. Both options consume very little power and are fairly compact.<\/p>\n<p>And at some point, you\u2019ll need hard drives to store your growing Plex media library. I suggest buying hard drives that are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seagate-IronWolf-Internal-Hard-Drive\/dp\/B084ZV4DXB\/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=nas%2Bdrive&amp;qid=1673298786&amp;sr=8-3&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;th=1&amp;tag=lsmedia-13741-20\">specifically made for NAS devices<\/a>, as they\u2019ll last a lot longer than typical hard drives. (If you\u2019re tempted to use an SSD in your Plex server, don\u2019t bother. You won\u2019t see any major benefit.)<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, this stuff can get expensive if you\u2019re obsessive. But a simple and cheap Plex Media Server might be all you need. Let\u2019s say you buy a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/TerraMaster-Transcoding-Personal-Storage-Diskless\/dp\/B07PWDTBJ6\/?tag=lsmedia-13741-20\">two-bay NAS device<\/a> and a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seagate-IronWolf-Internal-Hard-Drive\/dp\/B09NHV3CK9\/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1GNEOL6BDQVDY&amp;keywords=4tb%2Bnas%2Bdrive&amp;qid=1673299308&amp;sprefix=4tb%2Bnas%2Bdrive%2Caps%2C132&amp;sr=8-3&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;th=1&amp;tag=lsmedia-13741-20\">4TB NAS HDD<\/a>\u2014that\u2019ll set you back about $250, but you\u2019ll have enough storage to hold hundreds of movies, TV shows, and albums.
