I spent the morning setting up Plex for Xbox one, because it is finally out of beta and free, and thought you guys might be able to take advantage of what it offers.

Download the Plex Media Server to you PC, plex.tv/downloads

After installing it, download the for off the Xbox app store
, or PS4 store

After this go to this site, www.htpcbeginner.com/plex-unofficial-channels/

get the 3 channels this guy recommends from their GitHub page, click download ZIP on the right

install how he recommends and then restart the media server on your pc.

After this enjoy all the new tv and movies at you disposal.

Plex is the best thing I have invested in in years. Use it literally everyday.

Setting up shared servers with friends and streaming your content around the world. Super great for traveling, leave your server running at home, and access it from almost any device that can connect to the internet.

Pair it with a program like couchpota.to/ and sonarr.tv/ and you'll almost never have to visit a torrent site ever again, just wake up in the morning and have all your shows ready to go on Plex, or use the channels that David recommends, can't remember if they stream HD or not.

Which do you like better couchpotato or sonar?

Couchpotato is for automating movie downloads, whereas Sonarr downloads episodes. I use Sonarr, and it's very impressive (especially compared to SickBeard and SickRage which I used previously). It takes a little bit of setting up, but once it's up and running, it's dead simple to automate episode downloads. It can be set up to download Torrents, or Usenet binaries. I personally have mine set up with a Usenet account (there is a cost attached to this, but it's quite minimal).

Hmm. Also, I need to look into Couchpotato and Sonarr. Sound interesting. Any tips?

You have to have a server installed somewhere, to host your media. Plex media server, direct it to your files. Or have someone sharing their server with your account.

As for setting up couchpotato and sonarr, if can be a bit daunting at first. I believe couchpotato has a good tutorial on their site, for sonarr I think I used Reddit for resources.

I used sickrage for the longest time, sonarr blows it away, such a nice interface.
