4/19/2023 0 Comments Plex media player win 32bitTo me Plex is more than just watching shows - it's about organising your library, and doesn't require you to actually sort and title the underlying media yourself i.e. Plex also doesn't use any Internet bandwidth (as it streams from my own NAS), unless you leave the house and try to connect to it externally (I haven't tried it, but it's possible). Of course I can do a lot of those things with VLC (or similar) but VLC doesn't track which episode I'm up to, and won't resume if I move from my tablet to my Xbox. Or I can watch on my desktop PC, or even sit with her on the couch watching my show on a tablet with headphones. When the wife is watching something on the main TV I can use Plex on the Xbox One connected to my second TV. The cable company do offer some shows via Internet streaming - but that requires a proprietary app only available on a limited number of devices. I also have cable TV (Foxtel), but I only have one set-top box connected to the main TV. Xbox, PS3, desktop PC, tablets, mobiles etc. And that watching or resuming works on any device I own. Plex organises them all perfectly and I can track what I'm watching and it'll resume a show if I need to interrupt it for some reason. I also have shows and movies regularly acquired through other means. A couple of months ago I ripped all of my DVD's and BluRays to mkv files and put them on my QNAP NAS. Plex is great for organising and watching your own content.
