Plex is just a media server. You have to acquire content through some other means, then you can host it on a Plex server and stream it to any device that has the Plex app installed.
I have a Plex server that my entire family has logins for, and I put whatever movies or shows people are interested in. Basically you can make your own mini Netflix.
In what way ? I haven’t used Plex yet. It shows you what you have on your other streams. I tried to play a vid I have downloaded but it refused to play.
Don’t get the hype.
Would just use a pirate site and stream from thereb
Add a library in plex pointing to where your personal video files are stored. If you automate the downloads with the *arrs radarr, sonarr etc plex turns into basically Netflix for your local media.
Radarr and sonarr are the main ones. For movies and tv. They run on your pc and automatically grab torrents when a monitered show or movie comes out. And then rename the file and moves it to where plex library is.
Now that is fucking excellent. Unfortunately I do not have a laptop. Might need to see if I can hook something up to do that though. Think a ras pi could handle that.
How do you torrent on Plex ? I got it but it doesn’t do anything for me ?

I got Plex on a RasPi3 and an external 2TB. I have to limit to 1080p/x264 but works quite well.
If I want 4K I’ll buy the disc, downloading even Blu-ray quality is so goddamn big.
I had a pi4 but I found it struggled with transcoding and multiple streams, ended up with too much buffering.
You don’t, you use Plex to make the experience of watching what you obtain easier. Netflix tier ease of use.
How is it easier?

How do I add arrs radarr ? Is that an app or droid ?
