If you don't already have one you will need to create an account with Plex.
What is Plex?
Plex is a streaming service, but unlike Netflix or Hulu rather then let you stream content from data centers Plex allows you to stream your own local content over the internet.
Does Plex cost money?
Plex does offer a subscription called Plex Pass, but you will not need it for anything this guide will show you.
The server owner has a lifetime Plex Pass, and those benefits are shared with all users of the server.
By default Plex will give you the following pages:
Home - Your home page where you will be able to quickly pick up on what you where previously watching.
Discover - A section to discover things to watch across streaming platforms.
Watchlist - An area where you can add movies and shows to view later.
Live TV - Free internet TV
Movies & Shows - A selection of free ad supported movies and shows
Rentals - A section to rent movie and shows
Items 3 through 6 are “Freemium” options, and not what we are here for.
You can leave them if you like, but its highly suggested to simply remove them to avoid confusion.
