Plex Media Server is used to host the content and plugins that are then streamed to Plex Media Center and Plex mobile app clients, either on the same machine, the same local area network or over the Internet. Plex Media Server can be configured to index content in any directory on the machine- hosting it, as well as automatically acquiring iTunes and Photo content. Content may be transcoded by the server before it is streamed in order to reduce bandwidth requirements or for compatibility with the device being streamed to. Plex Media Server allows extensibility through the addition of plug-ins. The library organizer gives you the best browsing and entertainment experience through different platforms including smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, and most streaming devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video src=\"blob:http:\/\/www.webfxonline.com\/dc35b59d-a9f6-4a68-9202-5ebc8ba74311\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Plex Media Server is the back-end media server component of Plex.
