Plex is a great way to stream media, it allows you to view anything from the server without downloading it. This means that you don't need to have any storage or fast download speed to watch anything. You will find this is very similar to Netflix, Disney+ etc but free and will always remain this way. Not to forget, you can watch plex on just about every device on the market allowing you can watch a big collection of content from your phone to your TV to your smart fridge if you want. The Plex server will have every piece of content that we have ever uploaded to the Popcorntime but not slow server. If you find that one of our download links is broken, you can still view the content on Plex.
Note: Plex access is now reserved for donors. If you’re looking for a free alternative, check out our Jellyfin server.
If you want to join the plex server, you have to be in the offical Pivi Discord server.
There you will find a channel called #how-to-join with some instuctions on how to join the plex server.
There is a Plex client for just about every device on the market.
You will generally find the one for your specific device in the online download store for that platform.
For Apple TV, for instance, it’s in the App Store, and for Roku, it’s considered a downloadable channel.
Many devices, including smart TVs and Android TV boxes come with the Plex client pre-loaded, so there’s nothing to download.
The client is free on all devices.
Step 1: When you start the Plex client, it will ask you for your login.
When you sign up/log in after accepting the invite you will see a set of categories, you may need to click "more" and pin them.
Step 2: These will be on the left side of the screen, and all of the media will be there.
Selecting the file you want to play brings up an info screen with descriptions and more links, plus the Play Now button.
Step 3: No media software would be complete without a search function, and Plex’s universal search does a really good job.
It can find matches from among all of your connected libraries, subscriptions, and services, including your Movies, Music, and TV Shows, free content from Plex Movies and TV, Web Shows and Podcasts, and Tidal.
NOTE: On tablets and phones, to watch more than 1 minute you need to buy an unlock pass - usually very cheap.
This is for tablets and phones only.
