I did a bit of work on this trying to make something happen but ultimately hit a wall. Maybe I'll come back to this or someone will figure out where I went wrong.synopsis wrote:Plex is a client-server media player system and software suite comprising two main components. ... The server desktop application organizes video, audio and photos from a user's collections and from online services, enabling the players to access and stream the contents. (wikipedia)
Steps:
1. Install to an external drive
2. Set settings directory as described here: https://forums.plex.tv/t/move-the-appda ... tion/74125 and point to the local folder
3. Launch program
