    This seems pretty comprehensive: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1b2m5gd/a_detailed_guide_of_plex_for_beginners_and/

    However, while LLM usage is not in vogue around here, this is one situation where I think an LLM would be very handy.

    You can use something like ChatGPT to read that post and then come up with a sensible step by step procedure where you can install and configure each program once at a time.

    Let’s say you have a few movies and shows already downloaded.

    You can get your feet wet by installing Plex Media Server, or another solution (Emby and Jellyfin are the top contenders). Then when you want to automate downloading if torrents, you get into the next step, and so on so forth.

    Rarely does someone build an end game device at the beginning. Usually it’s a learn as you go and upgrade as the need arises.

    The most important thing in the very idea behind any of this? Get started. One step at a time. Make mistakes and learn from them.
