Any PLEX Users??

[earl n water]

I run a small server on an old HP Pavilion i7 2nd Gen (~500 movies, ~40 TV shows, music, kid-friendly media), built mostly for family, but constantly updating and adding new shyt. I have a Plex Pass, so Sync can be enabled.

Just lookin' for a few (3 people) to jump on and give it a run for awhile. Trying to take full advantage of Tautulli, but I need more users actually generating data, outside of my LAN. If interested, shoot me a PM.

I'll update this thread once the slots have been filled.

I've never been into media servers like that so it's possible I just don't understand, but in this day and age what would be the reason for Plex? You can just put Kodi on every device and have your whole collection plus hundreds of thousands of more options, right? With very little hard drive space taken up

Sure. I'll PM you.

Do I need the premium pass? I've never bought it before just used local

The reason is you can share your server with others. So while you may have your own personal collection that suits all of your needs there's tons of other people who don't have their own server. But with plex as long as they get a invite they can watch anything they want on someone else's server.

I have 4 different servers i can log into on my account but the main one i use is a 8tb NAS that constantly updates daily. It basically replaced netflix for me since it has everything from all streaming platforms in one place(netflix,hulu,prime,hbo,starz,disney+,vh1 etc)

It's not my server. I pay 5$ a month to the person who runs it. Check out The place for Plex shares There's always people looking for new people to invite to their servers. Most give some type of trial so u can see what u buying

I prefer Plex over Kodi due to packaging and GUI. As someone said above, sharing my server with anyone on the planet is literally 3 clicks.

You don't need a Plex Pass to access someone's server. Just an invite.

My settings are all messed up. I can see the movies and shows, but they’re all unavailable.

You runnin' your own server? Or connected to someone else?

Running my own on a Synology. I think it's my network's DNS settings causing my issues. I have a pihole and multiple VLANs.

I got tired of kodi always having to switch to different streams or programs. Having to deal with inconsistent stream qualities, like watching a series and the first 4 episodes stream with no problem then episode 5 will be unavailable or in a lower quality.

kodi got to be a headache, and I can pretty much do the same thing they were doing, I have a separate server running Plex and I have a VM setup behind a vpn handling my downloads and it’s all automated through sonarr and radarr.

I have a DVD player in the basement that stopped working. I figure I can just rip my exercise DVDs, create a new Plex library, then just install the app on my Apple TV. In the middle of the process right now, but damn I wish there was a way to automate this process. It's very manual.
