How to Run Plex on a MacThis easy-to-use media server keeps your movies, TV, and music at your fingertips.
Think of Plex as "iTunes, but for everything you didn't buy from Apple." With a Plex media server and apps on your computers, iOS devices, and Apple TV, you can store and stream your collection of non-DRM movies, TV, music, and more to any device, anywhere. Better yet, you can share all that media with your Plex-using friends, and enjoy streaming theirs in return. And that's just the stuff you can do for free.
What Plex can (and can't) do
Plex can catalog and play your personal, non-iTunes digital library of:
Movies
TV shows
Music
Photos
You can play these files over your local network or anywhere you're connected to the Internet — at the gym, at a friend's house, while traveling, etc. With the right tuner and a Plex Pass subscription, Plex can also play live TV — even remotely over the Internet – and work like a DVR.
Plex has also branched out into more Internet-based services...
