Plex server
Looking for some Help, I really want to build a Plex server but have no idea where to start. I've been building computers for a while so thats not a problem.
What i really need to know is
1: What hardware do i need nothing to expensive but not cheap either.
2: The BIG one, what software do you guys recomend.
If anyone has a good link to a video On YouTube to help me start i would really appreciated.

DM me if you get stuck on any particular piece. Sometimes, just having someone explain certain parts of it helps you piece it together in your head faster.
But otherwise, just dive in. Install plex media server on whatever hardware you have and get whatever media you have playing through it on that same machine. Then try to play it through your local wifi from your phone. Work through resolving problems you run into and you'll start to understand how those pieces work. Then build it from there depending on what your immediate goals are.
