I have a NAS (network attached storage) — basically a small PC with a bunch of hard drives attached. I download a bunch of movies and put them on there and I can stream them from anywhere or give access to others.

Think like Netflix where you provide the movies. Can initiate torrent downloads easily from your phone and move them to the Plex folder easily too if you have a synology NAS. (Nas isn't needed for Plex but it's nice not running things on the computer I use all the time)

I have an unraid server with slack integration. Slack requests get sent to sonarr/radarr and then available on Plex. It's beautiful. For most of the features of Plex you don't need to pay though.

I'm pretty sure they stopped supporting the photos feature. I might be wrong on that but I recall it being a thing they announced a year or two ago.

Your media. On all your devices. Anywhere (as long as you can hit the internet).

For example, listen to your music collection on your phone… but your PC acts as the "cloud" / server / source. No need to use storage on your phone.

Ditto for videos. Photos. Etc.

With Plex Pass, you can also do TV Everywhere type functionality using the EPG (electronic programming guide) and a programming source like a cable card adapter or OTA network adapter… plus DVR to your server.

I actually had the idea for Plex (but just thinking for music) before Plex became Plex. Pitched the idea to a local app developer. Signed an NDA with them. Then they went radio silent on me. A year or so later, Plex was born. They didn't steal it, but…

Been a user for a LONG time. Regular user. Hit me with questions.

The biggest thing (for me, anyway) is hardware acceleration, the EPG (for Live TV with cable card tuner), DVR capabilities, and offline sync.

Plex Pass users also get bonus content (typically / always sourced as YouTube videos) that are added to, for example, a movie listing.

Plex is a service that allows to turn your own home computer/server into a media server. there's advantages and disadvantages to plex vs free options like Jellyfin, plex relatively speaking is a lot more user friendly to sharing your server due to the fact that you login via a centralized server(their server) rather than you as the host setting up accounts for people. You basically trade some privacy in order to make handling the media server for yourself as the owner, as well as the other users, slightly easier.

Since nobody gave you a definitive answer, here you go:

Plex makes it easy to aggregate your media into a cohesive library for consumption.

Primarily, it can take a local file and scrape the internet for more information to make it presentable — like what you see when you browse streaming services.

And because it all lives on a server you host, you have a lot of flexibility on how to view it. There's apps for all major platforms, so you can "tap in" easily and even remotely.

This is the bulk of it, but they've also tried to incorporate other value-added features over the years.

For instance, they have a free and paid streaming service built in, similar to what you'd find with Pluto.

They also recently added a streaming service aggregator, where you can log into Netflix, Hulu, etc and track your shows through one app instead of multiple.

I used to 100% do this. Took a lot of setup with Radarr and Sonarr etc. But….then I found out about Stremio and Real-Debrid. Honestly…I haven't touched Plex.

The only thing I use Plex for now is my audiobooks. I download them from an online site, put them in Plex and stream them via Prologue app. It's flawless.

So that's my setup now. Plex for audiobooks only and stream everything else via Stremio + Real-Debrid. Plex still serves those who like to hoard media. I don't do that. I stream, watch and I'm done.

+1 for prologue, only available on iOS but worth it for a small price. lots of tools out there for "freeing" your audiobook library.

You have to make sure the NAS has an Intel chip and Quicksync. If it has an AMD or any other chip it might struggle with streaming video.

I'm not sure why people always assume you need transcoding with Plex, but it's wildly inaccurate.

Plex offers the option of direct streaming, whereby the content is just fed natively.

If you're just watching at home and you have a fairly competent router, every consumption device in modern existence supports H264 (after all, it's how you watch Netflix) and most support H265.

I'm easily able to pull at least four full bitrate 4K streams from a Raspberry Pi 4B without doing any transcoding.

If you do a lot of remote streaming, that's where transcoding can help. But that's also what the "optimize files" option is for.

Wow, they even let you use the code to upgrade. I still had a half a year left in my subscription and they prorated it as a credit in the checkout screen, and let me apply the coupon. Two thumbs up for plex!

I see there is Linux support. Anyone using it on a Linux platform? What's your experience?

I've been running mine on a dell t300 mini server loaded with Ubuntu for the past ~6 years or so, no problems

Just use jellyfin. And branch out into the many self hosted automated downloading/organization projects to do with media libraries.
