Language supported English United States. Once installed, we need to initialize the plugin so it will work with Plex Media Server. Open the Plex app and access the WebTools channel.
Enter your Plex details when prompted to complete login. With official channel support having been discontinued in , these channels are the last method for using Plex without heading into our next suggested area. Care should be taken when selecting some of the channels within the Unsupported App Store. While accessing these channels will not harm your Plex Media Server, you will need to be careful to not be identified as using illegal streams.
TechJunkie does not condone piracy or accessing illegal content so you need to make your own mind up about whether to access some channels available through the Unsupported App Store. We have a whole list of our favorite torrent clients for platforms like Windows 10 here , but our favorite is by far qBittorrent. The app is still regularly updated more than a decade after its initial launch, and with the launch of version 4.
If you have a large collection of physical media, you can rip your collection right to your computer in order to stream them from your Plex server. Let us know in the comments below how you add movies to Plex, and stay locked to TechJunkie for future updates on using Plex for all your movie and television needs. Your email address will not be published. How To Get Movies for Plex Plex is an awesome media center app that is made even better by being free and easy to use.
It's free, and the account will help you sign in to both your server and any player apps. Download Plex Media Server for Mac on the computer you want to be your server.
Make sure you verify the checksum before you open the downloaded file! Move the resulting Plex Media Server app into your Applications folder. When you open it, the only indication you'll see that it's running is a tiny Plex chevron icon on the right side of your menubar at the top of your screen. When the grayed out 'Server is starting…' message disappears from that menu, the server's up and running.
Plex will open your browser of choice and prompt you to log in with your account. If it doesn't, select Open Plex from the server menu. Plex's Setup Wizard will find your server on your network and ask you to give it a 'friendly name' — a moniker that will help you identify your server and tell it apart from any others you might connect to.
It'll also ask whether you want to access your server outside your home. If you say yes, it'll do its best to automatically adjust your network settings so that you can see the media on your server from anywhere with an Internet connection.
You don't have to add all of these at setup — my server only has movies and TV shows — and you can always add libraries later if you wish. When you're done, Plex will finish setup, start scanning the folders you specified to catalog your media, and then use the Internet to pull in artwork, descriptions, and other metadata for everything in your library.
This might take a minute or two. Plex's Web app runs in your browser. Like Plex's other Player apps, it'll play all your music and video, but it has lots of powers the other apps don't. To open the Web app on the computer running Plex Server, choose Open Plex… from the Plex menu on the right side of the menubar. That'll work anywhere, as long as you have an Internet connection.
Open the Accounts menu and select Users. You'll be the only user listed, but you can add new ones or enable guest access. You can add existing Plex users to your server by entering their e-mail address or Plex account username, or create managed users under your own account — say, separate logins for your spouse and kids. For each managed user, you can choose which libraries they have access to, and limit content by movie or TV ratings or particular labels you've given your media.
In the list of accounts, click the lock icon next to an account's name to specify a four-digit pin that user will need to access their account. That's a good way to keep smaller people away from inappropriate audiovisual experiences. Next, open Settings. Plex generally does a good job of making the different categories here self-explanatory, and of setting up your server so that you don't need to go tinkering with settings any more than you want to.
But let's review a few quick essentials. You can download or learn more about each update here. New versions tend to roll out about once a month, if not more frequently. Remember to set your maximum upload speed here, so that you don't choke Plex or your own bandwidth when you're serving yourself media away from home. Check your internet connection's speed to figure out what number to set.
Finally, you're probably wondering, you know, how to play your media. The home screen will show the last three movies or TV shows you've been watching recently. If you have TV shows, it'll list what's 'on deck' — the latest or next episode in each series you've been watching.
It also provides recently added TV episodes or series and movies.
