I’ve installed plex but I don’t even know where to start with it. Is there an “idiots guide” anywhere that I can follow?

What can it do? Can I access it from my chromecast? Is there a difference between plex player and plex? Why do I even need it? If I get it to work, what else do I need to make it useful?

So many questions and most guides I’ve found are far too advanced, or they don’t tell you enough. I want to know, just explained in a way that doesn’t assume I’m an plex expert.

    Thanks everyone for your input. I’ve set it up and it’s kind of working. At least I can see one of my videos on the built in player. It’s choppy as hell which seems to be a cpu constraint, but it’s kind of working.

    I’ll just have to tinker with it a bit more and then I’m sure to come back with more questions. Making the media library a webdav share didn’t quite work as expected for example. Don’t know why yet.
