So far i am liking how easy it has been to use Plex Media Server to put all my Blu-Rays that i own on to an easy to use Media Player that i can use my Chrome Cast or the app that is on the Xbox One. Sometimes though i have found that when it goes to match movies it doesnt always match them right so you have to go back and find a different match for the movie. Installation was fairly simple, you just need to download the Plex Media Server from http://plex.tv and install it, I use WIndows Server 2012 r2 as the Operating system because it also stores all my files for the network as well. What made me try out Plex Media Server is that i had heard a lot about Plex from groups that i am on on Facebook, and it interested me because they talked about how they can watch stuff when they are away from their home. I do have Remote Access for Plex Set up as well so it is accessible when i am on the road or want to watch something at a friends house.
PROS:
—Easy to set up
-Easy to use
-Works when you are out of the home
-Automatically detects and adds new movies when added to the media folder
-Easy to restore settings if you move to different hardware
CONS:
–When computer restarts you have to login to make sure the Plex Media Server is started before you can watch stuff on the server, if you dont turn auto start up upon login, and have auto login of the account that the Plex Server was set up under, there is a workaround but it requires a separate program in order to work properly
