It’s far less complicated than any other solution out there. Just install the server, point it to your media libraries, and set up the proper forwarding on your router or firewall. Then you can just sign into Plex app on any device and it pulls up your videos.
my main issues are the lack of hardware and lack of media libraries. I’d basically have to build those from scratch since I’ve grown up for more than half my life with streaming services being the main way to watch anything it also doesn’t help that I have very little experience using a computer as anything more than a way to browse the internet. I can use a phone like a damn wizard, but you give me a laptop or desktop, and I might as well be an 80 year old that’s never seen one. I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually, but it’s gonna take me a little bit of time.
