Metadata & Adding Files

Server Version#:1.42.2.10156
Player Version#: iPad
G’day,

I’m trying to set up an iPad that can access my Plex server for my brother, who is in care. I thought I would set up him with his own account, and then just set him up his own list of shows/movies using my existing files, but apparently Plex doesn’t let you do that (can’t have 2 servers on the one computer).

So I tried to set him up under “Plex Home”, but see that’s only for people within the - home.

My brother has Down Syndrome, and Dementia, but we both loved watching the same shows and movies as kids, and much of the content that I own, is actually from content we owned together when I still lived at home.

How can I get this to work, with the server in my house, and my brother living 5 minutes down the road in another house?
