You don’t, you use Plex to make the experience of watching what you obtain easier. Netflix tier ease of use.
How is it easier?
In what way ? I haven't used Plex yet. It shows you what you have on your other streams. I tried to play a vid I have downloaded but it refused to play. Don't get the hype.
Would just use a pirate site and stream from thereb
Add a library in plex pointing to where your personal video files are stored. If you automate the downloads with the *arrs radarr, sonarr etc plex turns into basically Netflix for your local media.
How do I add arrs radarr ? Is that an app or droid ?
Radarr and sonarr are the main ones. For movies and tv. They run on your pc and automatically grab torrents when a monitered show or movie comes out. And then rename the file and moves it to where plex library is.
Now that is fucking excellent. Unfortunately I do not have a laptop. Might need to see if I can hook something up to do that though. Think a ras pi could handle that.
