Plex for the beginner

I saw an article on the Plex Website recently that was called "A Beginner’s Guide to Plex." When I got Plex it was for my media server. I never really thought about other features of Plex. One reason is that it didn't have a lot of other features when I got Plex. Now, it is more than a media server. You can use the app for more than that.

I still don't use the Plex app for much more than watching from my media server. But, if I wanted to know more, Plex has it covered:

Once you set up your free account with Plex, you’re ready to experience what is truly the go-to entertainment platform for fans (like yourself) to discover movies, shows, fellow fans, and the joy of streaming, daily.

First, like anyone arriving at a new destination for the first time, you’ll want to take a look around. Let us give you a tour.

Welcome Home

Home is where your next favorite thing to watch is (or could be). Here is where you’ll see what’s on Live TV now, what’s most popular now, plus a ton of free curated collections available on demand. And once you customize your Plex further, you’ll see even more—like what’s trending across your favorite services.

The article goes on and covers all the major features of the app. My Streaming Life uses mainly the media server, which I've been running for a while to play my local media. But it has a lot more.
