Plex Quick Start

This short guide will help you to quickly setup Plex and stream movies. With this guide you don't need to transfer your files to your home. Just leave it in your seedbox.

For those looking to stream seamlessly, RapidSeedbox's plans like the Stream Plan are ideal, ensuring high performance and reliable streaming. Additionally, you can transfer your content using direct upload from your local PC or by re-downloading it directly to your seedbox from online sources.

You can stream it directly with Plex Media Server in your seedbox into your Plex App on your PCs, Laptops, Smartphones, or even Smart TVs

Installing Plex

Plex is already installed if you order one of Stream, Rapid or Furious plan. But you can head over to our One-Click-Installer and check if there's an update for Plex.

Among these options, the Stream Plan is particularly recommended for its optimized streaming performance, ensuring smooth playback and reliability.

Hosting Your Content on RapidSeedbox

To host your Plex content on RapidSeedbox, you can either:

  1. Upload your current files from your local PC to the seedbox using FTP or other methods.

  2. Directly re-download your media files to the seedbox if they are available online. Both options are effective and can be chosen based on your convenience.

Claiming your Plex

After installing Plex, you must claim it to log in and manage your Plex instance. Here's how:

  1. Go to your Client Area, select your seedbox. On the Credentials tab, go to the PLEX row. There's a green Claim button there.

  2. Go to https://www.plex.tv/claim where you can get the Claim Code. Just so you know, the claim code has a very short life. Copy and paste them immediately or get a new one if it's expired.

Adding Movie Library to Plex

Go to Settings (wrench icon on top right) -> Manage -> Libraries

Click "Browse Media Folder"

Ensure that your desired media content has already been uploaded or downloaded onto your seedbox to proceed efficiently with library setup.

You can just add your download folder where you put your movies.

After this, Plex will scan the folder and add the movies it finds. You can head over to the "Movies" section in Plex main page to start streaming.

Congratulations! You just streamed your first movie.
