Using the Plex server looks like you’re using your own personal, curated Netflix or Amazon Prime setup with the titles that you know and love.Īnother cool thing? That metadata makes searching for titles and actors ridiculously easy! If you want to search for a Matt Damon movie – well, simple here you go, here’s a list! What about a Jason Bourne movie – sure thing, here are a bunch of those too (let’s all agree though that Matt Damon definitely made the best Bourne shall we?). The best part is the awesome metadata that Plex pulls in from the Internet to make those media titles simply shine on your screen. The best part isn’t the fact that it’s easy and simple to search your network – which it is. Plex is basically building a library of all media and once it’s done you can pick and choose what you’d like to share.
With Plex setup and installed on your network, gone are the days when you’d search through multiple hard drives and file storage locations for that specific video, song or picture. These could be old movies that you ripped previously from your BluRay and LaserDisc collection or even your favorite songs and photo’s that are stored on your network in a NAS. Once you have downloaded and installed the software, simply follow the onscreen instructions to set up an account and then let it search your network for any media files that you want to share. This computer basically functions as the brains of your Plex setup and all of the other devices you install Plex on, will “talk” to this computer through the Internet and your home network. Here you will need a computer running Windows, Linux or Mac and on that computer, you will install the Plex Media Server software. The first actually has nothing to do with your Fire Stick.
To get Plex to work there are two parts to the process. You don’t need to worry or have any concerns about the sometimes grey area of streaming content via Kodi as in this case you’re only streaming your own content and even if you choose to stream live TV (a new feature recently released for Plex) it will be via a digital tuner and antenna. Plex, in a nutshell, is an interface that grants you quick and easy access to the content YOU ALREADY OWN! As long as these files are available on your local network, you can stream them using Plex and it is really simple and easy to do! A very easy step by step install guide that will take you less than 2 minutes to complete.īefore we get started on the nitty-gritty of installation, we should probably discuss what Plex is a little bit! Check here how to install Plex on Fire Stick.
