New installation

IP addresses
I would like to install both Plex Server and Client on my sons equipment to play MKV files he has on a HD drive.
He will be watching the movies on a Samsung LCD TV and connecting the HD to his Mac. I have seen tutorials on how to do it but am confused as to what to enter when asked for IP addresses. How do I find them as I assume the ones used on the tutorials are just examples and not the ones to enter.
Please help, thanks.

Welcome to the forums! The IP address to be entered is the IP address of the computer running the Plex Media Server. This site walks through how to obtain it: http://kb.iu.edu/data/aapa.html

Thanks for the answer Elan. I am sure to return for more info in the near future.


Can I run Plex on a Samsung TV with the HD connected to the USB of TV or must you have a Plex Client on PC or Mac.

You need to be running a Plex Media Server on PC or Mac, and that will serve up the media to the Samsung TV.
