Description

Plex Pass users can run the Plex Media Server component used to organize, transcode, and stream personal media libraries. This is useful when a household or small network wants server-side Plex features tied to the Plex Pass channel.

It is a background media server. Remote access, user sharing, account login, library scans, and transcoding can expose private media patterns or consume significant resources, so configuration should be reviewed carefully.

How to run
