If you don’t have a media library to call your own, you may wonder what all the fuss is about - but if you do, you may wonder what you ever did without Plex. Plex has been one of my favorite streaming services over the past few years, but I’ve also been able to acquire a lot of my own content during that time. Getting a Plex server up and running usually takes less than half an hour, and getting an app set up requires even less time than that. If you need material to fill your media server, try downloading some public domain movies, and give it a go. Since the best features on Plex are free, there’s no barrier to trying it out for yourself. Anything beyond that, you can pursue at your own risk.

Of course, far and away the most common way to build a Plex library is simply to torrent content. Doing so usually violates the Terms of Service, but it’s not illegal and, again, so far as I could tell, no one’s ever had an account canceled because of it, so long as they kept the recordings private. Programs like PlayOn let you record programs from streaming services like Netflix and Hulu.

At the very least, we can say that from a practical standpoint, ripping DVDs exclusively for your own use is unlikely to ruffle any feathers. At the same time, at least one state court has ruled that ripping DVDs, provided you don’t share the content, counts as Fair Use. This is not technically legal, particularly if your DVD comes with encryption. A lot of Plex users build their libraries by ripping DVDs they already own.

Movies and TV are a slightly thornier issue.

(iTunes is the obvious exception, but Apple is hardly the only game in town anymore.)

You can buy and rip CDs, if you want to go old-school, or you can usually download MP3, WAV or FLAC files from your digital vendor of choice. If you use Plex a lot, the lifetime pass pays for itself after two years otherwise, use your best judgment.įirst off, music is pretty easy to come by.

While free tier doesn’t bill you monthly, there’s a $5-per-platform activation fee if you want to use the Plex Android and iOS apps. Plex is available both as a free service and a premium tier it calls Plex Pass. You can download both versions from the Plex website. Plex is available as both a media server and an app that receives streamed media.

Over the past few years, Plex has quietly become one of the very best streaming platforms on the market. Plex can even find extra content for your movies (such as interviews and deleted scenes) and stream them. Hook up an HD antenna and a tuner, and Plex will let you watch live TV add in a hard drive, and Plex works as a DVR platform. (The movies are great the TV is not.) You can use it to watch news or listen to podcasts. It has an ad-supported streaming service that offers free movies and TV. While Plex is primarily a media server, it offers a number of other features in both its free and paid tiers.
