It’s pretty obvious that you already know exactly what Plex is since you’ve landed on this guide, but for those unfamiliar yet still interested, Plex is a streaming service quite similar to the likes of Netflix and Hulu. However, where it excels is acting as a media server for all of your local movies, TV shows, anime, songs, and videos that you can stream to any device in your home including your phone, tablet, computer, or television. Plex essentially recognizes a designated device as the server where all of your local entertainment is stored and then simply makes them available for streaming on other devices.
