    it required me to leave my laptop running at all times or buy a dedicated pc for it.

    Yeah, that’s not exactly a software issue … you can’t stream data out of thin air.

    find it infinitely easier to just Pirate what I want and put it on a usb stick or hdmi the laptop to the tv.

    That’s pretty cute, but get’s kind of tedious when you have thousands of movies and tens-of-thousand TV show episodes. That’s when you’ll see the need for a software like plex.

      I can’t view thousands of movies and episodes at once, why would I want it all on my HD? Anyways, plex just seems like a bloated solution to a problem it invented.

        Maybe you want to watch them later?

        Anyway, I suggest you don’t use it then and keep on shuffling around with your usb stick.

          As someone with too many shows and movies on my Plex, I agree with his methods.

          My life would be simpler if I torrented, watched once, and deleted.
