The PLex website kept talking about how the web app was imbedded within the server, so I downloaded it to my laptop thinking I could access my home server using it…but apparently not. So, what’s the best way? I can from an IOS device, one would think I can from a laptop with a bigger screen.
Have you tried Plex media player for the Mac?
You can access your home server, if it’s configured for Remote Access, by going to plex.tv. There you will see the Launch button. This launches the Plex-hosted client. It loads the Web client in your browser session just like the bundled one does and It will connect you directly to your server just as if home.
