How to set up Plex for Public use?

General Discussions

Hi all, I’m new to Plex and not very tech savvy. I’m a manager of a small hostel in Australia. (max 50 persons) Is there a way we could use Plex via our only Television in the building? Would it be easy for each guest to use it via the remote control for the TV?

We could keep the server/hard drives in a secure area that guests would not be able access.

Would this be a possible outcome without breaking the terms and conditions? Is there anything else I’m missing out on?

Thanks,

Aaron

So, I am not sure about the terms of use, I don’t know how strict their definition of “Commercial Use” is… I assume that if you’re not charging a subscription fee for it, it may be fair game…

As for how to facilitate this, you just need a smart device on the TV or a Smart TV that has the Plex App available… It’s really easy…

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the reply. It would be a free amenity for all guests to use.
