Once done, you will see your library on Plex’s servers and this will be accessed to remotely stream media content on your Smart TV. Prior to that, it is important for you to tweak the transcoding quality. After all, Plex generalize and converts the file formats automatically so that it can be played on various devices without any issue.
To play the file, do take note on platform you are using. If it is Chromecast, simply run the Plex app and tap on Cast to play the file. If it is on the AppleTV, the method remains the same and you can also utilize your mobile phone to operate the playback remotely.
Speaking of which, the Plex service comes with a one-time charge. The advantages of Plex over other connecting media apps are that the platform does not stutter or lag. Also, Plex takes the initiative to identify the format compatibility instead of saying no to an unrecognized format.
