I will be installing on the latest release of openSUSE, but the server can be installed on Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, and more.

With all of that in mind, let’s begin the process of setting up the Plex server. Do note: Some of the Plex features require a premium membership fee. With Plex, you can also sign into your account and stream outside of your local network (and enjoy other features). Why Plex? Because it is one of the most feature-rich media servers available that also happens to be cross-platform, has a built-in media player (and transcoder), and also offers apps for both Android and iOS. I want to demonstrate the process of setting up a streaming server using Plex. Naturally, each media streaming server offers different features and there are plenty of available servers (from bare bones to full-featured solutions). With this type of server you can enjoy your media from a desktop, laptop, smart phone, or tablet. So what do you do when you want to take advantage of that massive media collection from multiple locations and your target devices either don’t have space for it or you don’t want to take the time to transfer it? Or, collections have become so large, transferring them from drive to drive has become cumbersome at best. More and more, users aren’t content with sitting in front of a television or desktop to enjoy their media. It helps inform, enlighten, inspire, and entertain. Media is king-it has been for a very long time.
