Plex User Guide
Welcome to the Plex Server!
This guide will help you configure your streaming client for the best viewing experience. It covers recommended settings to ensure smooth playback and high video quality on all your devices.
Recommended Clients
Getting everything to stream perfectly across devices takes effort, but these options consistently offer the best Plex experience. Other devices may work, but performance isn’t guaranteed.
In no certain order:
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
- Apple TV 4K (Ethernet preferred, only $20 more)
- Google TV Streamer 4K
- Onn 4K Pro with Google TV
You’ll notice Roku devices aren’t listed. While they technically work, they often struggle with video conversion, causing playback issues. For that reason, I don’t recommend or support them.
Want something added to Plex?
