Watching
Install the Plex App on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV v4 or Roku. If your viewing device is on the same network it will automatically find your Plex Server and you are ready to go.
Watch Over the Internet
You can make your Plex server available over the Internet. Go to, Settings, Server, Remote Access and enable. Look at Manually specify port only if you have trouble.
Upgrading
Console will notify and provide a direct link. You may also just download latest from website. After download, change to the directory of the package,
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_0.9.12.13.1464-4ccd2ca_amd64.deb (replacing the last filename with the name of the package you downloaded)

Using Fix Incorrect Match
Plex uses different resources to match its media against. Normally, these are:
- Movies: Freebase or The Movie Database
- TV Shows: TheTVDB
- Music: Last.fm
If an item doesn't appear in your preferred Agent's resource, it will not be matched. You can check your preferred Agent resource in the Server Preferences. If the preferred Agent doesn't match the item, you can try a different Agent using the Fix Incorrect Match tool.
