I'm new to this plex software media center stuff.
I have a desktop w Ubuntu which gets internet via an ethernet port in a wifi router (from the cable tv company). Plex is installed on the desktop.
I have the (tiny) amazon fire-stick connected to my TV in living room. The firestick is active on my home wifi.
I want to stream vids stored on my Desktop Ubuntu HDD, on to the firestick connected to the TV.
How can i do this with plex? This seems generally possible as:
Enter the username or email address of the person you want to share your library with, and click on the user when it pops up. In the next window, choose which libraries you share with others. To share all of them, select your server and click Save. Or select only the libraries you want to share, then click Save.
The person you're sharing with should then get an email invitation to access your library. Once accepted, they can pull up your libraries in any Plex app. If they (or you) have access to multiple servers, they can manually switch between them or search across all servers.
with the proviso that I'm exclusively interested in files physically on the local hard drive.
(question is almost a duplicate to a kodi question, but with plex instead.)
(The tv and and pc are too far away for hdmi for what that's worth.)
