Privacy Policy

Revised May 23, 2018

Thank you for using Plex! We here at Plex care deeply about your privacy, and we strive to ensure that your personal information always stays safe while we work hard to provide you a service you love and trust. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and transfer your information, and how you can control the use of the information that we collect. This Privacy Policy applies to all our products and services, including Plex client apps, streaming content to the Plex client apps, our premium Plex Pass service, Plex Media Server software, Plex Cloud, and all other Plex software and services (collectively, our “Services”). Depending on your choice of how to use our Services, your personal content may be stored on your personal hardware (“Personal Local Content”) or stored in the cloud (“Personal Cloud Content”, collectively, “Personal Content”). For your Personal Content, except in the limited circumstances described below, we do not collect filenames or content titles of your Personal Local Content. We do, however, keep usage statistics to allow us to better serve you and improve our Services. We may use information about how you use our Services to run and improve our Services, to provide, customize, and personalize communications and other content that we deliver or offer to you. This is discussed in detail below.

Contacting Us

Information We Collect

You may choose to provide us with certain information, such as when you create your user profile or when you use the Services. We may also collect automatically-generated and technical information. Therefore, the information we have (“Collected Information”) may include:

1. Profile Information . You may provide us with profile information such as your e-mail address, username, a profile image, and password when you create an account, or when you edit your account information. You may also provide us with your payment information when you sign-up for a paid service.
2. Information from External Services . If you choose to connect your account to an account of an external service, such as a social networking site or cloud storage services, we may collect certain information from those accounts, such as your name and email address as well as data required to connect to that service. You may provide such authorization during the connection process, or it may be implicit in the service authorization itself. For example, if you choose to connect your Plex account to a social networking account, we may collect your public profile information if you agree to the collection of this information during the connection process.
3. Metadata for Personal Content . Except for certain exceptions such as for Personal Cloud Content, Third-Party Control and Playback Mechanisms, and image analysis (i.e., metadata about photos when these features are user-enabled, such as geotag information or scene recognition analysis), as described below, we do not collect or store metadata (information about the specific file, cover art, subtitles, running length, etc.) for Personal Content stored on your personal Plex Media Server. However, your Plex Media Server may anonymously send us filenames or other identifiers for your Personal Content for the sole purpose of providing metadata back to your personal Plex Media Server. You may disable this metadata matching capability.
4. Metadata for Personal Cloud Content . Our Plex Cloud service is used by some of our Plex Pass users. If you choose to use Plex Cloud and upload content to third-party cloud services, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc., we may collect and use information in addition to that described above in order to interact with the third-party cloud service and to host our Services on your behalf. This includes knowing and using all the metadata related to what is in your Plex Cloud database, but only to provide you with the Services.
5. Metadata for Personal Content for Integration with Third-Party Control and Playback Mechanisms . We may offer integrations with Third-Party Control and Playback Mechanisms that you may choose to use, such as Sonos, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, Zapier, SmartThings, webhooks, etc. In order to provide the integrations with the Third-Party Control and Playback Mechanisms, we may collect Metadata for your Personal Content that is needed to integrate with the Third-Party Control and Playback Mechanisms. For example, if you use Amazon Alexa to play a particular song or movie from among your Personal Content at your home, then our Services may search your Personal Content in order to find and play the song or movie that you requested. Information provided by you to the Third-Party Control or Playback Mechanisms is not governed by this privacy policy.
6. Usage Statistics for Personal Content . We may collect usage statistics for Personal Content. This includes information about your interaction with the Services, such as device information, duration, bit rate, media formats, resolution, and media type (music, photos, videos, etc.). Where possible, we will generalize this information to avoid identifying your Personal Content. Usage statistics do not include specific content titles or filenames. We may use information related to your usage to run and improve our Services, to provide, customize, and personalize communications and other content that we deliver or offer to you.
7. Data Related to Third-Party Content . When you use the Services to watch, listen to, or record content from a third-party content provider or source such as any officially supported Third-Party Content that Plex streams to Plex apps, trailers and extras from IVA, the Plex Watch Later or Recommended features, or use of our Live TV and DVR service, we may collect information related to that media interaction. For example, we may collect what program or movie you are watching and when, your interaction with any static or video advertising, etc. We may also collect your device information and device location, for example, by using your IP address or by asking for your zip code. We may use this information to run and improve our Services, provide advertising and marketing to you, as well as share anonymous or aggregated versions of the data with third parties.
8. Information about integrated Third-Party Services . We may collect information about your use of third-party services for reporting to these partners and calculating the fees that we owe them. For example, we collect (i) the number of trailers and extras viewed to IVA, and (ii) information about premium metadata consumed to Gracenote. We may also collect information about third party services and your use of those services in order to serve video content and advertisements via features that rely on third party providers. This information can include the metadata needed to serve advertising.
9. Information on our Services . We may store information about your configuration or use of our Services when you create a Plex Media Server on a local device or in the cloud, connect to a Plex Media Server that you or another person has configured, or download or connect to a Plex app, or interact with or use other Plex software or Service. This information may include an IP address and port number(s), the name of a Plex Media Server, and information used to secure access to our Services.
10. Information about Interfacing Software . “Interfacing Software” includes but is not limited to, plug-ins for the Services, channel plug-ins, metadata agents, and client applications that communicate directly or indirectly with the Services. We may store copies of Interfacing Software that you provide to Plex and that accesses or calls any software provided by Plex as part of the Services.
11. Debugging and Other Information Voluntarily Provided . You may send us logs, metadata, or other information about your devices, media, and experiences for the purpose of resolving an issue you may have with the software or suggesting desired features. On client applications where it is possible, we will offer the ability to opt-out of sending crash reports. If you would like to learn more about the information being sent in crash reports, we encourage you to review the privacy policies for the third-party client applications you are using to access Plex Services. The information being sent to us will only be used to help resolve your issue and / or improve our Services, and using our Services and provision of such information, you agree to such use by us.
12. Device Information . Like many online services, we may collect information about the devices that are used to access our Services, such as the IP address of the device, the operating system and version of the device, the browser that you use to access a Plex web page, and the versions of the Plex technologies being used. We may also collect location information about the devices that access our Services.
13. Application Information . When a request for information or content is sent to a Plex Media Server, we may collect an application identifier that identifies which application sent the request. An application identifier uniquely identifies a particular copy of an application. For example, if you download an application from Plex, fully uninstall the copy of the application, and then re-download the application from Plex, the new copy of the application will be associated with a different application identifier than the uninstalled copy of the application. Note that simply deleting the app without fully uninstalling may not reset the application identifier.
14. Plex Relay Service . We may provide, and you may choose to use, the Plex Relay Service to connect or stream your Personal Content to another device. If you choose to use the Plex Relay Service, we will transfer the data necessary to perform the service. All such traffic is encrypted from end-to-end in a manner that makes it impossible for Plex or the Plex Relay Service to decrypt or view any data. The data transferred via the Plex Relay Service is not stored by Plex except for the temporary buffering of data required to provide you with an optimal streaming experience. You can disable the Plex Relay Service by turning off Remote Access in your server settings.
15. Cookies and Other Tracking Technology . Like many online services, Plex uses cookies, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to collect information that helps us provide our Services to you. We also use these technologies to help market our products and services to you and other customers. For more information about these technologies and how you may control them, please see the .
16. Obtaining Consent . If there is a change to any product or feature that we offer or have offered, and in order to use that product or feature a material change to the collection and / or use of information (including for Personal Content) not contemplated by the Privacy Policy is needed, we will obtain your consent before such collection and / or use.
17. Your Collected Information . In order to view, amend, erase, or correct your Collected Information, . All requests will be answered within one month of receipt.

Plex Media Server - это продвинутый медиа-проигрыватель и одновременно домашний медиасервер, который осуществляет обмен файлами между устройствами через локальную сеть, чем собственно и выделяется среди конкурентов. Базовая версия очень удобна, если вы хотите транслировать видео с вашего компьютера на свой телевизор или мобильное устройство. Скачать программу можно бесплатно с поддержкой русского языка, что позволит организовать полноценный домашний медиасервер.

Для создания и использования медиасервера предлагается два метода взаимодействия с ПО : создать учетную запись, либо же просто указать, что Plex Media Server должна регулярно сканировать ваш компьютер в поиске новых видео для обмена информацией. То есть, если вы создадите новые папки, то Plex выполнит интеграцию и корректное их отслеживание на предмет будущих изменений.

?Для обеспечения правильного и быстрого обмена информацией между устройствами, Вам потребуется установить ПО на всех используемых девайсах. Это позволит просматривать любимые видео и прослушивать музыку, не скачивая файл с удалённого домашнего ПК. Благо программа мультиплатформенная, поэтому трудностей с её использованием на различных девайсах и операционных системах не возникнет (работает на Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux и даже игровых приставках).

?Последняя русская версия Plex Media Server легко масштабируется в вашей среде: если вы пытаетесь передавать медиа-контент через прерывистое Wi-Fi-соединение, то достаточно предупредить Plex о снижении уровня качества соединения, чтобы при этом получить плавное воспроизведение видео файла. Или, если у вас есть быстрое и надежное соединение, вы можете использовать оптимизацию сети и сохранить видеоролик как можно более качественным.

?Добавление медиафайлов в библиотеку может занять некоторое время, но в итоге она будет доступна для пользования всем Plex клиентам. Кроме этого Plex также может предоставить следующую информацию о выбранном медиа-файле: год выпуска, имена актеров и режиссеров и другие параметры для более удобной сортировки и поиска.

Дополнительной особенностью бесплатного домашнего медиасервера является то, что для этой дополнительной функциональности требуется время. Так, Вы можете использовать любой медиаплеер для потоковой передачи через локальную сеть, но проигрыватель Plex сделает это гораздо удобнее, чему способствует надлежащий интуитивно понятный интерфейс ПО и лучшие инструменты для того, чтобы соответствующим образом работать с сетью.

Plex Media Server соединяет ваших клиентов со всеми вашими локальными и сетевыми медиа, т.е. в приложении ведется централизованное управление библиотекой, потоковая передача содержимого в Интернете и перекодировка, что обеспечивает гибкость и простоту использования рассматриваемого приложения. Plex работает качественно и быстро и на вашем Mac, и на ПК, обслуживая все ваши медиа для всех ваших клиентов, включая телевизоры и мобильные устройства.?

То есть, домашний медиасервер – это программа, которая незаменимо должна быть установлена у тех, кто предпочитает собирать все крупинки большого кино в некий общий каталог, чтобы иметь не только возможность адекватно оценить полноценно картину происходящего, а и с использованием одного девайса иметь возможность просматривать видео с другого компьютера или мобильного устройства, на котором так же установлено данное приложение. Советуем скачать русскую версию Plex Media Server на свой Windows ПК.

По поводу видео мне постоянно задают различные вопросы. Например такой: «Как смотреть видео с компьютера на iPad, не скидывая на планшет файлы? (в iPad всего 16 гигабайт)».

Например, в nPlayer достаточно выбрать раздел «Сеть», нажать плюсик. Среди предложенных вариантов нужно выбрать UPnP/DLNA. По идее, если iPhone (iPad) и компьютер находятся в одной сети, то вы должны увидеть свой компьютер в программе.

Всё. Вы увидите каталоги. Plex как-то сам организует всю медиатеку по папкам, но докопаться до нужного фильма не сложно.

Аналогично можно получить доступ к медиатеке на телевизорах со Smart TV. Например, у телевизоров LG функция называется Smart Share. Никаких дополнительных программ не требуется. Телевизор увидит вашу медиатеку по DLNA.

Зачем нужно приложение Plex?

В App Store имеется приложение Plex , назначение которого с первого раза не совсем понятно. Устанавливается оно бесплатно, но имеет пару встроенных покупок:

iOS App Activation - позволяет транслировать фото на другие iOS девайсы. Например, с iPhone в руках передавать данные на iPad, который находится на удалении, но в той же сети. Плюс, эта покупка снимает ограничение на трансляцию видео на текущий девайс. Правда не совсем понятно, зачем они это ограничили, если AVPlayer или nPlayer прекрасно справляется с воспроизведением по DLNA. Данная покупка единоразовая.

Monthly Plex Pass - а это уже ежемесячная подписка. Позволяет закачивать видео на девайс для просмотра оффлайн, добавляет родительский контроль, позволяет слушать музыку из какой-то платной медиатеки, а также добавляет возможность смотреть трейлеры и дополнительные материалы к фильмам вашей медиатеки (эти данные берутся автоматически).

Мне обе покупки не нужны, так как я использую Plex Server исключительно для просмотра фильмов на Smart TV по Wi-Fi (фильмы физически находятся на моём ноутубуке или жестком диске, подключённом к нему).

По опыту, слабым звеном в данном случае выступает роутер и скорость Wi-Fi сети. Мой 100 мегабитный роутер Zyxel способен без косяков воспроизводить полутарочасовые фильмы по DLNA до 10 гигабайт (цифра примерная). Мы смотрели несколько 3D фильмов 13-15 гигабайт и изредка воспроизведение подвисало. Но обычные фильмы по 2-7 гигабайт должны транслироваться на любом роутере без проблем. Если же вы планируете смотреть таким образом фильмы в HD (по 40-50 гигабайт) или 4K, то вам нужен роутер со скоростью Wi-Fi 1 гигабит в секунду.

Plex Media Server — это популярный потоковый медиа-сервер. После установки Plex приступаем к настройке.
Указываем расположение к вашему медиа-контенту и подключаем плагины TV-каналов.
Настройка Plex является одинаковой на всех платформах, поэтому данное руководство применимо к Windows, и OSX, Debian и Ubuntu Linux и т.д.

Настройка Plex Media Server

После того, как вы установили Plex Media Server, для настройки заходим в браузер по ссылке http://localhost:32400/manage/index.html или http://IP-адрес:32400/web/index.html#. Автоматически будет перенаправление на следующий экран:

Принимаем условия лицензионного соглашения:

Тут можно задать название вашего медиа сервера, которое Вам нравиться.

Можно пропустить и перейти на следующий шаг, а библиотеки с медиа данными добавить позже, как Вам удобнее. Мне потом удобнее добавить библиотеки.

Тут Вам решать, отправлять анонимную статистику или нет.

Добавим библиотеки с данными

Выбираем добавить библиотеку

Выбираем тип библиотеки, указываем название библиотеки, выбираем язык.

Следующий шаг. Добавляем путь, к вашим видео файлам.

После того, как вы добавили библиотеку, она будет проанализирована Plex, автоматически добавятся подкасты и превью. Процесс добавления новой библиотеки иногда может занимать не одну минуту, все зависит от количества данных.

Добавляйте новые библиотеки с фото, домашним видео, мультиками, сериалами.

Можно добавить каналы IP TV

Ваш медиа сервер готов к использованию.

Настраиваем удаленный доступ к вашему Plex Media Server.

Теперь у вас есть возможность просматривать ваши медиа данные, как на локальном компьютере, так и в локальной сети. Единственное, что потребуется для просмотра, на любом устройстве с браузером и флэш плеером задать сроку в браузере http://ip-address:32400/web

Plex Media Server дает возможность просматривать свои видео и фото не только в локальной сети, но и удаленно, делиться своими фото и видео с друзьями. Для этого надо зарегистрироваться на сайте plex.tv или прямо из вашего Plex Media Server

После регистрации и ввода своей учетной записи, вы можете получить доступ к своим медиа данным, находясь в любой точке земли, где есть интернет.

Оказывается, многие пользователи, которые впервые знакомятся с принципами работы с DLNA, почти не представляют себе, как осуществляется использование Plex Media Server. Это универсальная программа, которая способна не только воспроизводить медиафайлы большинства известных форматов, но и также воспроизводить онлайн-трансляции при использовании подключения любого типа.

Рассмотрим все связанные с этим вопросы. В частности, мы выясним, как можно пользоваться Plex Media Server после установки и предварительной настройки. Необходимо сразу отметить, что в данном вопросе настройка сервера имеет очень важное значение, поэтому необходимо отнестись к нему с большой ответственностью.

Для начала мы определимся, что представляет собой программный пакет Plex Media Server. О том, как пользоваться этим программным обеспечением, речь пойдет немного позже. Пока уделим внимание возможностям данного ПО. Прежде всего Plex Media Server, как и любой другой DLNA клиент, дает возможность осуществлять трансляцию видео, графического материала и аудио со стационарного компьютера или ноутбука на телевизионную приставку с разрешением, которое превышает стандартные параметры обозначенных выше устройств. Также у программы есть некоторые неоспоримые преимущества. Они заключаются в том, что вне зависимости от исходного материала, программа подтягивает данные о воспроизводимых фильмов или аудио-альбомах в Интернете. Это аналогично тому, как работают стандартные теги ID3. Однако, если изначально информация прописывается, то она здесь действительно будет загружена из Интернета. При этом помимо описания будет добавлено еще много интересных фактов.

Однако сейчас речь идет не об этом. Такой виртуально-физический сервер также может служить определенной платформой для подключения сразу нескольких пользователей или устройств для просмотра расширенного контента. Иначе говоря, настройка в Plex Media Server иногда может сводится к добавлению новых пользователей, которые имеют к нему доступ. Также здесь можно создавать общие папки для одновременного просмотра. В данном случае в действие вступают технологии P2P, которые организованы по принципу пиринговых сетей. Это значит, что с одного терминала, на котором имеется файл в полном виде, осуществляется раздача на загрузку на зарегистрированные в сети компьютеры. Они способны обмениваться между собой информацией в случае задания соответствующих настроек.

Plex Media Server: установка клиента

Однако это все пока была теория. Переходим непосредственно к практике. Прежде всего, нам необходимо скачать пакет Plex Media Server и установить его на компьютер. Как правило, процесс установки программы не вызывает особых нареканий. Здесь главная проблема заключается в том, что при установленных ОС Windows 7 и выше задать запуск файла установки от имени Администратора. Дальше все довольно просто. Необходимо следовать указаниям мастера установки. Здесь все как обычно, нужно выбрать место установки и так далее. Теперь наступает самый интересный момент.

Начальные действия по регистрации

Можно, конечно установить данный пакет без особых сложностей, но при этом они скорее всего будут возникать в дальнейшем. Поэтому лучше сразу выполнить регистрацию на официальном сайте программы. Это можно посоветовать делать всем пользователям, которые собираются в дальнейшем подключаться к такому серверу. Сделать это без регистрации будет сложно. Переходим на официальный ресурс plex.tv, создаем аккаунт и следуем дальнейшим указаниям. В этом нет ничего сложного, вся процедура выглядит как обычная рутина. Чем дальше, тем интереснее. Обязательным условием является то, чтобы родной брэндмауэр операционной системы Windows не блокировал программу. Для этого необходимо создать в настройках режима повышенной безопасности новое правило и внести в него порт 32400. Также в некоторых случаях может потребоваться проброс данного порта на маршрутизаторе.

Plex Media Server: первый запуск

После того как программа будет установлена, можно будет запустить ее. Однако какого же будет разочарование пользователя, когда после вызова приложения двойным кликом ничего не произойдет. Что же случилось? На самом деле, ничего страшного не произошло. Проблема в том, что приложение после окончания установки интегрирует свой процесс в работу фоновых служб. Для вызова программы необходимо использовать значок в системном трее. В операционных системах типа Windows 10 или 8 он может быть скрыт. Чтобы он отобразился необходимо кликнуть на стрелочке вверх.

Plex Media Server: изменение параметров

Итак, перед глазами у вас основное окно программы Plex Media Server. Сейчас мы узнаем, как изменить настройки по умолчанию. Для начала разберемся, что у нас есть на экране. Первое, что удивляет многих непосвященных пользователей, это то, что приложение открывается в окне браузера. Это может вызвать определенное недоумение. Но не стоит паниковать раньше времени. Посмотрите на настройки программы: в качестве основного языка выбран русский, субтитры тоже русские, видеопоток автоматический. В принципе кажется, что изначально менять ничего и не нужно. Позже мы рассмотрим более тонкую настройку.

Plex Media Server: как использовать

Поговорим немного о панелях. Например, на модификациях Samsung, которые поддерживают данную технологию, нужно сначала нажать на красную кнопку пульта, а после этого создать нового пользователя develop с произвольным паролем. После этого необходимо при нажатии синей кнопки на пульте ввести IP сервера, а потом прописать 109.91.176.102. После этого необходимо снова нажать на синюю клавишу и перейти в раздел синхронизации. Теперь осуществляется выключение и повторное включение панели. Переходим снова в SmartHub – здесь должен появиться виджет Plex. Если его не будет, необходимо еще раз проделать процедуру. Если он найдет сеть, все хорошо. После этого можно будет установить некоторые дополнительные плагины, которые позволят сделать работу с сервером проще.

Plex Media Server: как пользоваться IMAC и Chromecast?

Что же касается Chromecast, то данная технология в основном ничем особо не отличается. Она в большей степени рассчитана на мобильные устройства, которые должны быть синхронизированы с панелями высокого разрешения. Это в частности касается и продукции Samsung. Нет смысла подробно описывать подключение, так как все тонкости можно узнать из прилагаемой инструкции любого устройства.

Как использовать Plex Media Server на IMAC?

Особенности подключения к яблочным компьютерам сводятся к тому, что в качестве операционной системы используется Mac OS X, а не Windows. В остальном же все действия аналогичны описанным выше процедурам.

Недостатки и преимущества

Основная проблема, которая, кстати говоря, является и основным преимуществом, заключается в том, что пользователь, незарегистрированный на официальном ресурсе, не сможет воспользоваться услугами подключения к серверу даже в том случае, если у него есть официальная версия установленного контента Plex Media Server.

Как использовать?

Чтобы использовать Plex Media Server, достаточно будет произвести регистрацию и получить права доступа от создателя. Вот и все.

Заключение

На самом деле вопрос об использовании программы Plex Media Server не ограничивается приведенными выше рекомендациями. Это только некоторые общие советы. При входе в приложение можно обнаружить, что в нем имеется множество разнообразных настроек, которые можно менять в зависимости от собственных предпочтений. Так, например, вы можете добавить в папку сериалы или создать только музыкальную коллекцию. Даже при использовании программы с настройками по умолчанию, при добавлении папок и файлов в определенные разделы с учетом подтягивания информации из Интернета можно будет добиться автоматической систематизации и каталогизации всего мультимедиа контента вне зависимости от того, находится ли необходимый контент в Интернете или на компьютере. Мобильные устройства в данном обзоре не рассматривались по той простой причине, что устанавливаемый клиент может подключаться к телевизорам Smart TV или приставкам, выпущенным после 2013 года, автоматически.
