Nice clean video. Direct to the point thanks.

[ButtonJoe]

That was way easier than I expected it to be. I'll definitely be looking into it.

[CarrsonH]

thankyou. third time starting my server but for some reason it was being stubborn and not binding to my account

[chemyguy]

Plex is awsome that it collects all the metadata for your content how great is that. Q: is it a similar process on the Nvidia Shield? Subscribed

Question, Im trying to stream my whole hard drive thru my ps4 or 5, does the same steps to this video apply?thanks

[andynoel]

just me, provably; but maybe consider mentioning noting the distinction btwn the downloaded app, and the web based content working and access. i in error kept trying to figure out why the server app resident on my hard drive wasnt showing me my media. after reviewing ur vid, i caught that you were not working inside the app but rather the web based service. .. side quest: how do i get apps into my built in chromecast tv?

Starting at 1:19 looks nothing like current Plex.
