Once organised and readable, Plex automatically fetches information like posters, descriptions, and ratings. They include tips like separating media type into folders (movies and music) and renaming files to match the content ("Avatar.mp4"). You should therefore check the Media Preparation guides to ensure your media collection is sorted and named correctly. Organise your media: Plex identifies your media according to folder structure, filename, and the libraries to which it is assigned. Then follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing the server. Once you've decided which computer you're going to install the server, visit the Plex Downloads page and download the server for your platform. The first thing you need to do is install the server on a internet-connected computer. The server is for storing your media library in a central place, while the player apps are for playing back media from the server on any device.
