What is Plex ?

I often refer to Plex as a streaming service, and this is technically true:plex tv link takes videos stored in a remote location and streams them to a receiver,usually attached to a television. However, Plex isn’t a streaming service in the same way as a subscription program like Netflix,or even an à la carte storefront like Vudu.Unlike iTunes, Plex can read just about every media file format you can think of.So if you’ve gotten into the habit of running your media through a converter like HandBrake (Windows,Mac) to make it compatible with your software, you can do away with that step.

Does skipping steps mean the program will run faster? I don't like having to wait when I get back up. This is taking me too long Elastic man.
