Open the Plex app and access the WebTools channel. Enter your Plex details when prompted to complete login. With official channel support having been discontinued in , these channels are the last method for using Plex without heading into our next suggested area.
Care should be taken when selecting some of the channels within the Unsupported App Store. While accessing these channels will not harm your Plex Media Server, you will need to be careful to not be identified as using illegal streams. TechJunkie does not condone piracy or accessing illegal content so you need to make your own mind up about whether to access some channels available through the Unsupported App Store.

Additionally, you can also click on the full detailed entry for any media item individual TV episodes, movies, songs in your music library, etc. You cannot download entire seasons of TV shows at one time and will need to repeat this process for every episode you wish to transfer. As we mentioned, this does not sync the file to the local installation of Plex or your mobile Plex app, it merely transfers a copy of the file from the media server to your device.
It is up to you, at this point, to load the file in an appropriate media player for your device like VLC or another good multi-format media player. To sync content from your Plex Media Server, you can approach things one of two ways.
You can use the same web-based interface we used in the previous section, but you can also use the interface in mobile apps like Plex for iOS to sync, too. Again, to avoid any frustration, you must have a premium Plex Pass account to use the syncing feature.
Starting in the same place as we did in the previous section of the tutorial Archer Season 1, simply tap on the sync icon. The destinations listed below are the valid destinations for our particular account.
The biggest force behind your choices will be, first and foremost, the storage available on your device, as well as its screen size. Both of these techniques are useful if you want to keep storage demands under control. Plex will announce that the syncing process has started. Click on the menu button in the corner. Most of the time, the syncing process should happen automatically the moment you open the app you can see that our device is already syncing. If the sync fails to start, though, you can come here to start it manually.
Here, we see not only the sync options we set on the server which we can change here but also a rundown of which episodes are synced to the device already and which are in progress.
Simply exit out of the menus back to the main screen and then, in the upper corner, tap on the server name to switch locations. You can navigate around the application just like you would as if you were connected to your home server: your media will have the same layout, same menus, and same metadata with the small but important difference that it is stored right on your device instead of the server.

As we mentioned earlier in this article, there are five types of libraries you can set up for your media movies, TV shows, music, photos, and home videos and Plex uses your file and folder data to match content and then gather awesome metadata for it.
For files you have ripped or purchased without digital rights management —like movies, TV shows, or music—the metadata, filenames, and folders are usually organized well enough for Plex to enhance correctly, without any issues or need to correct. There are also ways to correct any issues, and they are outlined in the media preparation guide. We suggest, at this point, that you prepare a test folder for each media type, add libraries, and see how it looks in Plex.
Try some movies, TV shows, home videos, music, and photos. You can always go back and update the library, delete it, recreate libraries, or start over with a new library.
This test will give you a sense for the organization and labeling you want. Then, you can decide how you want your libraries grouped and named. Note : Video content purchased from online stores such as iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon will typically be protected by DRM digital rights management and cannot legally be played in other systems such as Plex.
Once the setup is done, try clicking on media to view or play it. When on the Plex Downloads page, check the list of apps and follow the instructions for your preferred device. Once you have downloaded the app, make sure you are on the same local network as the server. If both are on the same network, everything should work, and you will be able to browse and play media from the device.
If you are trying to access Plex Media Server from a device outside of your home network, remote access will need to be set up and running. By default, your Plex Media Server will attempt to set up this Remote Access feature for you automatically. While the automatic setup works for a lot of our users, it can fail on some home networks.
