Man I love clicking on a folder, scrolling for 30 secs and pressing play and the actual film just starts playing. The only thing that it fails on is remembering where I am in a series. So for eg. Blackadder I'd rather just stick on Netflix thank play in VLC

- FussyZeus 9y agoUpvote for Plex. Setting up a Plex box in my house was astonishingly easy and we now use that more than Netflix.
- rocqua 9y agoYep, only issue I have is that I now forget my netflix series because when I go to plex, my progress with those series isn't tracked or shown.
- compton_effect 9y agoplus if you I guess do want to pirate, sonarr and radarr are freaking amazing to have a long with a plex server.
- nobleach 9y agoI've noticed Plex has stopped working with my TVs. It's kinda a bummer that the only help, that those on forums are willing to give is "buy a better TV". Is spending another 700 bucks really a tenable solution?
- FussyZeus 9y agoApple TV Gen 4 has a Plex app that works extremely well. Still $130 to put down but you also get all the other things it does.
- chadgeidel 9y agoIt's not a great solution, but there are several "streaming sticks" like the Roku, Chromecast, or FireTV for less than $50 you can buy and plug into your current TV.
- LordKano 9y agoI had been hearing about Plex for a while and when I bought a Seagate Personal Cloud drive, I decided to give it a try. I like it. I have moved a lot of media to it and I can watch it all at my convenience from multiple devices or computers in my house. I have young children and after they destroyed several of the kid-movie DVDs I gave them, this was a godsend.
- petepete 9y agoCan you install Plex in a standalone fashion, or do you need to set up a server and client? With Kodi it'd just be a case of install and point it at your media directories.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoIf you don't mind using a web client (and you shouldn't, it's pretty good), you can install the Plex server on your machine and then open the web client on the same machine.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoI just keep a little document in the same directory. echo 9 > last-episode mpv s01e09.mkv
- hashhar 9y agoInstall mpv and use Shift+Q to exit. That way when you open the folder again in mpv it will start exactly where you left it.
