I want Plex to be always on, but not to be sharing a with VM performing other duties. If you log off from its user account, it shuts down the service and you no longer have a working Plex environment.Īt home, the only computers that I have running 24/7 are servers and these are exclusively Hypervisors. It’s a service, but one that insists on running in the userland (as a tray icon). The problem with Plex Server is that it isn’t quite a “server”. Where pushed due to lack of Kodi support Plex also gives a consistent alternative front-end user interface. I personally keep it installed as a gateway between Smart TV’s and my music/video/photo library as it is a convenient way of getting DLNA support on the network. Plex Server, the sometimes controversial media streaming hub, is a staple of the media diet of many home-brew media centre connoisseurs. “Just because you shouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean you can’t”

Movie & TV extras: Allows you to watch cinematic trailers before you stream videos, just like in the theater.

You also have the option to upload new photos from your mobile devices automatically.
