What is Plex?

If you're new to Plex, it's widely regarded as the ultimate media center software. We've covered it extensively in our guides: Setup A Perfect Media Center with Plex [Mac and Windows]. Available on Windows, Mac, web, and mobile (mobile apps have premium options), Plex excels as a player, organizer, and streamer. Here's why it's unbeatable:

• Stunning visuals: DVD covers, posters, metadata—Plex looks polished and professional.
• Effortless setup: No complex naming schemes or manual scraping. Just drop files into your server folder—Plex handles metadata automatically.
• Universal compatibility: Clients for Windows, Mac, web, and mobile. Server transcodes on-the-fly for optimal playback.
• Seamless continuity: Resume movies on your tablet right where you left off on the couch. Easily find unwatched, recently added, or in-progress content.
• Plex It bookmarklet: Queue YouTube or Vimeo videos from the web to your server.
• DLNA support: Streams to Blu-ray players or older Smart TVs.
• Remote access: Stream from anywhere with simple router setup. See our guide: How to Access Your Plex Library Remotely.

All this is free, but Plex Pass unlocks premium perks—with more on the horizon for subscribers first.

Early Access & Free Mobile Apps

Plex Pass holders get apps like Plex for Xbox One first—for free—before public release. Preview versions for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8 are also exclusive. Roku and Android users enjoy free premium apps too.

Trailers & Extras

Recreate the theater vibe with auto-playing trailers. Our guide covers setup: Get Closer to the Movies with Plex Movie Trailers. Enable extras in server and client settings (Settings > Server > Extras; Settings > Player > Extras), and use Freebase Movie Agent. Trailers and extras like interviews appear automatically for recent releases.

After setup, trailers delivered that cinematic buzz—highly recommended for movie nights.

Camera Upload

Automatically upload mobile photos to your Plex server—cross-platform for iOS and Android. Share easily with family on any device, no Apple ecosystem lock-in required.

Plex Sync & Cloud Sync

Plex transcodes for smooth streaming, but Sync prepares offline versions. Download optimized movies to your phone for travel—set storage limits to stay in control.

Cloud Sync extends this to services like Box, Google Drive, Dropbox, or Copy when your server is offline.

Multi-User Access

Perfect for families: Share specific libraries with kids, friends, or remote relatives. Create custom "Netflix" experiences via web clients.

Setup is simple: From the web app, go to server settings > Share Server. Invite by email/username, select libraries, and save. For local network restrictions, enable authentication (Settings > Server > Connect > Advanced).

Subscription Plans

Lifetime Plex Pass: $149 (limited time). Annual: $39.99. Monthly: $4.99. A smart investment for serious media fans supporting top-tier development.
