Plex

Plex combines personal-media organization with an entertainment discovery and streaming service. Its website explains supported apps, available streaming content, and tools for connecting a personal media library to viewing devices.

Personal server features and Plex's own ad-supported content are different uses of the platform. Device support, premium features, catalogs, and account requirements vary. A Plex installation does not provide legal access to arbitrary movies or television files that a user does not already have rights to use.

For related tasks, Plex can be considered alongside BBC iPlayer for bbc television programmes, live channels and ITVX for television programmes, viewing services. These resources cover adjoining parts of the subject; each publishes its own information and handles its own service, access arrangements or applications.
