Console peasants not up on Plex ? :wtf:

[itsyoung!!]

probably won't work on your smart tv... i know it doesn't work on the iphone without paying

but i can connect it in 3 ways so far



1. i have all my files in a folder.

2. download app on my computer and tell it to monitor that folder

3. let everything upload..........





ps4 - don't download app, just do it from web browser... the link is in the OP.. it'll look exactly like the computer browser so you can just click around. fully loads posters, info, release dates, EVERYTHING in visual form


xbox 360 - go to video player... find your pc and hit A... it'll actually list "plex server" as a folder, and have all your shyt there organized.. but in list form


smart tv - mine has a dlna option... i go there and find and click my pc.... works just like the xbox... lists everything, no pics/info tho





anything you have to get an official app from, except your computer, is probably gonna require money. this is really good for cord cutters and those with gaming systems. when you see that organization

explain it to a slow nikka


I tried using the plexx app on my smart tv and it told me to go to my pc and type in a code, i typed in the code and it said i needed to pay sum shyt

if you got a PS4, itll load from the browser and play like a regular movie.. shyt is

Yeah, I'm not downloading it either since I have the same. My slim ps3 in my bedroom so

And it doesn't work at the hotels I stay in, but my laptop has an HDMI out anyway.

look in your manual... or download one.. or go on their site.. i just googled your tv, it definitely has the capability

dlna is basically the technical term for streaming video


on xbox or ps3... when you go to video player, and you can stream from your pc... that's dlna


basically your tv should have an app that does the same thing... all plex is, is a fancy dlna app. it takes your files on the comp, and instead of listing them like normal... it adds all the official posters and info from the movie, so you can search and find stuff more easy


if that doesn't appeal to you... just stream as normal
