When you run the Plex Media Server as a service, you will not have a system tray icon indicating that Plex is running.You can get information on how to do that directly on Plex’s website, but it is relatively easy.īefore you continue, please take note of the following: This how-to begins assumes that you already have Plex up and running and will only instruct on how to setup Plex to run as service. This post is a how-to guide on how to do just that. So I began looking for a way to run Plex as a service.
This is a problem when trying to stream remotely, especially when others that don’t have access to my server as I do are trying to access my media. This means when I log off of my server, or when it reboots for any reason, the Plex service is no longer running until I log in again. The downside to running this on my server is that Plex only starts and runs when the user that installed it is signed on. I originally set the Plex Media Server up on my actual server where I also store all of my media. There is a paid version that offers some advanced features, but the free version works swell. It also allows you to share your media library with others. I like it because it allows you to stream your media anywhere that you can run the Plex app which is support on many different platforms including (but not limited to) Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. I recently began using Plex as a media service for my own local media. I’ve written a new post with a new simpler method for setting up Plex Media Server as a service.
