Initial Setup
First create an account at www.plex.tv
(its free)
You will use this account to sign in with all of your devices and to request content
My content is divided into two categories “TV Shows” and “Movies”
There is a combined “Movies and Shows” category that comes with the plex app. You do NOT need this as this content is very limited and contains ads. You can disable this library by unpinning it. See images below.
Some of my Movies are in the highest of qualities/formats especially 4K content. It is recommended that your device is connected to a 5g wifi signal and your internet speed is at least 50Mbps. You can contact me for help if you are unsure how to test this.
There are also movies with TrueHD 7.1. If you do not have a surround sound system or receiver you will need to select the fallback 5.1 audio when playing a movie. Again contact me for assistance.
Discover
“Discover” is a new feature for discovering Movies or TV shows that are trending/popular/upcoming. You can also link any streaming service you already have directly into Plex. Plex can then act as a one stop shop for everything without opening other apps like Netflix/Amazon Prime/Disney+
Requests
BobsPlexServer.com has the ability to request Shows and Movies with the “Request” tab above. Sign in with your Plex username and password to access the Request feature. Alternatively you can search for a Show or Movie in the Plex app under “Discover” and add it to your “Watchlist”. If the movie or show is not already on the server it will then be automatically added.
The “Calendar” tab lists air dates for when TV Shows will be available to watch on Plex
