plex media server setup progress processing

Let’s say I want to synchronize my Simon & Garfunkel albums to my phone so I can play their music when I don’t have internet access. (I’m not going to cover install, opening, or logging in with this tutorial, just synching.) Basically, you have to install the Plex app on your device, open the Plex app, log into your account on your device, then find the media you want to sync. So, here’s my guide to syncing audio and video to a phone/tablet.įirst, choosing what to sync is done, from what I can tell, almost exclusively from the device (with some minor exceptions). However, the process isn’t all that intuitive. Plex still has me covered with the option of “syncing” media to my phone.

However, there are occasionally instances when I know I either won’t have internet access (e.g., on a plane or on a hike) and I want to have access to my media. It works pretty flawlessly with devices like my Roku or allowing me to listen or view my media collection online.

More information on how to do that is available here. NOTE: As of 2022, Plex has switched from “syncing” media to “downloading” media.
