I'm Danny, owner and writer of Smart Home Pursuits. I've worked as an IT Manager for 8 years and enjoy using my knowledge to make my smart home "smarter". Wow my friend you really helped me out today. Straight to the point and no BS, you just found the best utilities for the task and provided them to the likes of me. I installed the PlxDwnld bookmarklet and it is downloading right now. Not one person even said thanks? Its a strange and cold world sometimes eh.
Well not today! I have tried all the methods to download the media. It was running. But recently, it has stopped running. Do you know if Plex has change the algorithm and need to be updated this addons? I only use Bookmarklet myself, but it looks like there was a Plex update in August Hey Lucas — Try this one instead.
Thank you so much! Unfortunately because of the last Plex update it does not work as before downloading from one server but not the other. I hope people come up with something that gets around that because streaming sucks.
Have you ever tried using a download manager to get movies from a Plex server? Like IDM. I wish it was as fast as the bookmarklet thing though. Kind of. Maybe because of Plex update. Found a Bookmarklet alternative that works just like the old.
Edit: Unfortunately still nothing with the updated Plex server. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Get notified of any replies to your comment. Media Server Self Hosted.
Emby offers free streaming of live TV, unlike Plex which requires the premium plan. Which is the best option lies truly in the eye of the beholder. If you want the most polished look and are willing to pay a small fee for a higher quality experience, Plex is the ideal choice. Plex is the media player of choice for anyone looking for media, organization, transportability, and enjoy a high-end appearance. Enjoy the ability to easily stream both your personal and purchased media with the flexibility to take it wherever you go.
Users experience the simplicity of having all of their music, photos, and videos in one spot, without jumping from app to app. A free Android emulator for Windows. Easy editing of your personal memories. With its provider-agnostic foundation, users can collect, organize, and stream their media anywhere, anytime. Where can you run this? Is there a better alternative? If it doesn't, select Open Plex from the server menu. Plex's Setup Wizard will find your server on your network and ask you to give it a 'friendly name' — a moniker that will help you identify your server and tell it apart from any others you might connect to.
It'll also ask whether you want to access your server outside your home. If you say yes, it'll do its best to automatically adjust your network settings so that you can see the media on your server from anywhere with an Internet connection. You don't have to add all of these at setup — my server only has movies and TV shows — and you can always add libraries later if you wish. When you're done, Plex will finish setup, start scanning the folders you specified to catalog your media, and then use the Internet to pull in artwork, descriptions, and other metadata for everything in your library.
This might take a minute or two. Plex's Web app runs in your browser. Like Plex's other Player apps, it'll play all your music and video, but it has lots of powers the other apps don't. To open the Web app on the computer running Plex Server, choose Open Plex… from the Plex menu on the right side of the menubar. That'll work anywhere, as long as you have an Internet connection. Open the Accounts menu and select Users. You'll be the only user listed, but you can add new ones or enable guest access.
You can add existing Plex users to your server by entering their e-mail address or Plex account username, or create managed users under your own account — say, separate logins for your spouse and kids. For each managed user, you can choose which libraries they have access to, and limit content by movie or TV ratings or particular labels you've given your media. In the list of accounts, click the lock icon next to an account's name to specify a four-digit pin that user will need to access their account.
That's a good way to keep smaller people away from inappropriate audiovisual experiences. Next, open Settings. Plex generally does a good job of making the different categories here self-explanatory, and of setting up your server so that you don't need to go tinkering with settings any more than you want to. But let's review a few quick essentials. You can download or learn more about each update here. New versions tend to roll out about once a month, if not more frequently. Remember to set your maximum upload speed here, so that you don't choke Plex or your own bandwidth when you're serving yourself media away from home.
Check your internet connection's speed to figure out what number to set. Finally, you're probably wondering, you know, how to play your media. The home screen will show the last three movies or TV shows you've been watching recently. If you have TV shows, it'll list what's 'on deck' — the latest or next episode in each series you've been watching.
It also provides recently added TV episodes or series and movies. You can jump directly to any of your libraries under Libraries on the left sidebar. If you want to add more libraries, look for the plus sign that appears when you hover over that header. Roll over any of the items on the main screen, and you'll see a play icon in the middle, to jump right into watching or listening. The pencil icon in the lower left lets you edit that file's metadata, in case Plex got its name or any other info wrong.
The … in the lower right provides general options like Optimize , to create a smaller compressed version of the video for easier storage and streaming, Download to move a copy of any media you own to your local device for offline viewing, or the self-explanatory Delete. Clicking anywhere else gets you to the show or movie's page, with a plot synopsis, cast or episode lists, and other data.
The web app works great and doesn't look too shabby, but if you'd like an interface that'll look even better on a big screen, get the Plex Media Player for Mac. It starts out looking identical to the Web app, but you can click the fullscreen button in the upper right corner of its main page to activate a slick TV-oriented interface that plays well with remote controls. Once you've got the basics up and running, here's what you'll need to turn Plex into a substitute for your set-top box:.
After you start setup, Plex will look for tuners connected to your network. Make sure your HDHomeRun tuner is hooked up and running before you start this step. Plex will pull in all the channels it finds on your tuner, then ask whether you want broadcast or cable listings, and request your ZIP code.
With that information, it can match local channel names to the channel numbers on your tuner. In the list that appears, select the channels you want Plex to include, and make sure they're correctly matched with the channel names next to them. If not, you can use the pulldown menus next to each channel number to assign it the correct name and information.
Plex pulls in this information a lot faster than some other DVR software I've tested, but it'll still take a few minutes to download two weeks' worth of listings and program info for the channels you've selected. Plex lets you start browsing and watching while it pulls in that data.
On Plex's Web and iOS apps, you'll see a swanky grid view with all currently airing shows on your channels.
