Downlaod button not appearing

Server Version#:1.24.24973
Player Version#:

I am such a fan of PLex I have easily pursuaded another user to join with a lifetime plex pass. I am setting it up for him and have shared my library with him, but cannot seehow to download my content to his library. I cannot see it via the web app or media server when I am logged in to his account. I can see my library and play content but can not see how to download it. I must be missing something really simple - but please help its doing my head in…
Many thanks

Plex is not a file sharing app.

The download feature in plex is for creating a locally cached copy within a plex client. Like for instance when preparing a route trip and precaching some videos in expectation of poor internet connectivity.

This type of “download” is available in the Plex apps for iOS, Android mobile, and in Plex for Windows/Mac.

Thanks for the reply. I also share my library with my brother and he downloads content to his plex library. But I have never downloaded content from his to mine. So I am slightly lost when setting my friends up as I cannot see how to do it either via app.plex.tv or through his media server. Still bemused…

I think I may have resolved this my downloading and using Plex Media Player for Windows - I can now see the download link.
Thanks Again

I have managed to download a test tv show, but cannot see how to move it in to the other library - or have the doanloaded show appear on the other users library - hope that makes sense???

As told above: Plex won’t support you moving media from one server to the other. Because that is pirating media in many / most cases.

Ok I understand that - I’ll just have to speak with my brother to see what he does … Thanks anyway.
