Plex has two pieces. One piece is the server. You would install a program called Plex Media Server on your computer. Then you tell Plex the location of all your movies and media you own. It scans everything and organizes it.
Then you go to your smart tv devices (fire tv, android box, roku, etc) You can install the Plex CLIENT on these and watch the movies from your Plex your server.
Plex is free if that is how you use it.
The Plex PASS is just some additional features for Plex. It lets you watch movies on your phone/mobile devices. You can download movies from your server. It allows "hardware transcoding". Skip intro/skip credits, etc.
Plex lost their way long ago. I want (and bought) to play local media, not have them push their stream crap on me.
Long time Emby user. Love it. UI isn't as polished as Plex but it's worth the effort to use because of my hate for plex streaming.
Also JellyFin.

1) For each item, you can select the "pencil" icon to Edit the item manually.
2) For each item, you can select the "..." and hit "Fix Match"
3) For a library, you can tell it to use Agent : "Personal Medial"(or something like that) instead of IMDB/INternet matching. It will pick a random screen shot from the video to show. But in the folder, you used to be able to put a "folder.jpg" and it would use that in the Library view. https://support.plex.tv/articles/...ts-movies/
I originally purchased it to replace Window's Media Center with my Silicon Dust tuners. We just had our house tented for termites so I had to take the antenna down, so I was not able to test yet.
Thanks again to everyone who responded and provided so many suggestions and links.
Thank you so much.

Plex does not collect or store information about your content except for in a few innocuous cases.
They don't "parse and block" accordingly. Rather, they receive complaints and act accordingly.
For tinkerers Jellyfin works fine but I would not subject my parents or family outside my home to it. Plex has better stability, performance, and UI.

Why allow all data to phone home to their offices then ?

Been a lifetime pass member for years. Anyone recommending JellyFin or Emby or anything else either didn't take the couple minutes to figure out Plex or likes running a not-as-good looking app that's randomly buggy.
We use Plex for Live TV (HDHomeRun), movie library, pictures, music, bit of everything all on either a FireTV Cube 3rd gen or a Apple TV 4k 2nd gen. Runs great on both although we use the FireTV more since it does true Dolby Atmos passthrough directly from Plex (Apple TV does not). We have also used the download function on multiple occasions and never had a issue with it. Granted we correctly setup Plex with the local LAN IP addresses so it knows when our phones and tablets are on our home network so the download is quick.
From this thread it appears most peoples issues with Plex are not knowing how to use it or change settings. I tried JellyFin. I tried Kodi. I tried Emby. None have as clean of a UI, none are as easy to setup, and none work day in and out without fiddling with stuff like Plex does. Other then doing updates when it says to I don't have to change anything and it just works.
Not only that, but if they only as they claim bought it for local media- why buy it at all? I've been using the free version for over a decade now for that purpose and it works perfectly fine, don't even need a plex account at all.

With "Dear White People" and "Cuties".
Or Amazon with their constant barrage of whatever is trendy that month like black history month movies or "Pride" movie collection or whatever.
Basically nearly ever company panders my guy.
Not saying it's ok, just saying you'd have to live off the land in the woods to get away from it.
