Hello,
started using plex today. Have installed it in Ubuntu Server 18.04, connected NAS folders where are movies and tv series located.
I want to share library with my girlfriend which lives in another house.
How can I do this? If I need to buy Plex Pass, ok will buy. Does she need to buy anything?
She will watch movies in iPhone and LG TV.
Thank you.
First of all, test remote access yourself. Leave the plex server running at home, then go out on either a public WiFi or on mobile data with a plex app and try to access your own server.
As next step, use the WiFi at your GF’s and try to access your server.
Only if this is working, it makes sense to go forward with the steps below.
She needs to create a plex.tv account for herself.

Then you can go and invite her to your server https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105738-creating-and-managing-server-shares/
She needs to accept the invitation. https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105738-creating-and-managing-server-shares#toc-3
Plex app on the LG TV (if it’s modern enough) can be used free of charge. If the TV is not modern enough, so that it doesn’t have a Plex app at all (or only an outdated, non-functional one) get her an external device with a Plex app on it. nVidia Shield, Apple TV, FireTV, Android TV etc.
Plex app on the iPhone needs a one-time payment to unlock.
None of the above needs a Plex Pass.

If you decide to get a Plex Pass, you can invite your GF into your “Plex Home”. By doing so, you both can switch into each other’s plex accounts on all devices. And she will inherit from you the right to use the mobile Plex apps for free, so the one-time payment for the iOS app is not necessary.
Thank you very much for the answer. Everything works fine now but I found some TV Shows don’t have a cover.
For example:
Prison Break, Two and a half men etc.
Files structure: Two and a Half Men (2003)\Season 1\Two.and.a.Half.Men.S01E01.Pilot.Most.Chicks.Wont.Eat.Veal.avi
works fine now after changed file structure.
Glad you’re all set.
