Plex is a media player system and software suite that allows users to store their movies, TV shows, music, photos and home videos on one central server and then access them from any computer or mobile device. Plex also provides for streaming of online video content from sources like YouTube and Vimeo.

The Plex Media Server is the backbone of the Plex system. It organizes all of the user’s content into libraries and then streams it to various devices. The Plex Media Center is a desktop application that provides an interface for browsing and playing back the content on the server. The Plex App is available for most popular mobile devices, including Android phones and tablets, iPhones and iPads, Windows Phones, Amazon Kindle Fire tablets, as well as Apple TV (2nd generation) and Roku set-top boxes.
