Ads/Commercials

Hi… New to Plex… have paid annual subscription and watching a movie yet getting adverts all the time… Is there a way we can disable these adverts?

The ads are only if you stream media from Plex servers. If you stream your local material there are no ads.

However. Plex had (probably intentionally) made it a bit hard to differentiate your own material with theirs, so if it is easy to get confused.

A Plex Pass is doesn’t do anything for you if you don’t have a media collection of your own.

Thank you… not sure how to get around that. I thought watching a movie was watching a movie. :(.

how do i start my own collection? Bit more research to be done I think. Thank you all for your help.
