#Plexamp for kodi install#

The only reason I would ever install Plex is if you must use a walled-garden device that can't use standard file shares nor DLNA (Echo, Roku, Sonos., you know, the kind that monetize your media usage and anything they can scrape out of your mobile device, and serve up unskippable ads in media and in the UI). And one last small glitch is sometimes Plex doesn't bring up subtitles that I've downloaded.īut, overall, I've been very pleased with Plex.Īs far as I know, it's taking the data right off of the files that you've asked it to 'watch'. This might be due to some unfamiliarity on my part with networks and Windows and sharing folders, etc., so don't go by me on this point. This caused all kinds of problems to the point where we had to delete his server and rebuild it.

Another weird glitch that I've come across is I've tried to share servers with another Plex user on my network, so that when he brings up his Plex server you can also switch, via a dropdown, to another server. If you don't tag a series episode properly Plex won't 'see' it. The downside that I've found is, it seems like Plex is very sensitive to tagging conventions. It automatically sorts by season (if you've tagged things correctly), and usually puts up the correct card for any series you've put there. I love that you can create libraries to use as sort of short cuts to series (I have 'libraries' for things like Better Call Saul, MASH, etc.).

I've been using Plex for years with video exclusively and I've had few problems.
