+# What is Plex?
+
+From their [website](https://www.plex.tv/):
+
+> With our free app you can add, access, and share all the entertainment that matters to you, on almost any device—including your own personal media collection. Guess that makes us the hardest working app in show business.
+
+On YAMS, Plex is one of the most important parts: Plex is going to be your "Netflix", "Hulu" or "Amazon Prime". This means you'll be able to stream your TV shows and movies to any device using Plex.
+
+## First steps
+
+To start, you need to allow your IP range to access the Plex setup. In your server, first stop YAMS.
+
+```bash
+$ yams stop
+```
+
+Now, go to your Plex config in YAMS. For the purposes of this tutorial, I'm asuming your install location is `/opt/yams`.
+
+```bash
+$ cd /opt/yams/config/plex/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/
+```
+
+Inside that folder, open `Preferences.xml`.
+
+```bash
+/opt/yams/config/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server$ vim Preferences.xml
+```
+(you don't have to use `vim`, you can use `nano` if you want to).
+
+On the `Preferences.xml` file, add the following **after** the `<Preferences ` directive:
+
+```xml
+<Preferences allowedNetworks="<your_subnet_IP>/255.255.255.0" ...
+```
+
+The `...` is the rest of the XML file, you only have to add the `allowedNetworks` directive.
+
+### How do you find your subnet IP?
+
+This depends on your network configuration, but it _sometimes_ goes with the following rules:
+- If your server IP is `192.168.0.100`, your subnet is `192.168.0.0`.
+- If your server IP is `10.0.0.25`, your subnet is `10.0.0.0`.
+
+Finally, restart YAMS.
+
+```bash
+$ yams restart
+```
+
+To check if everything is working, you can try by running:
+
+```bash
+$ docker logs plex
+```
+
+If you see something like this:
+
+```bash
+Failed to load preferences at /config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
+Failed to load preferences at /config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
+```
+
+It means your `Preferences.xml` is badly formatted. Try to fix it and try again.
+
+Once you finish the Preferences config, you can continue.
+
+**Note:** You can read more about this fix here: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/plex-not-authorized-you-do-not-have-access-to-this-server.96858/.

 Time to choose your media service.
 Your media service is the one responsible for serving your files to your network.
 By default, YAMS support 3 media services:
-- jellyfin (recommended)
+- jellyfin (recommended, easier)
 - emby
-- plex
-Choose your media service [jellyfin]:
+- plex (advanced, always online, slower)
 ```
 It's time to configure the media service!
 
 By default, YAMS supports 3 big media services:
-- [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org) (recommended).
-- [Emby](https://emby.media).
-- [Plex](https://plex.tv).
+- [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org) (recommended): In my opinion, Jellyfin is the best one. It's fast, easy to configure and Open Source.
+- [Emby](https://emby.media): Emby its the one I use on my local config. It's very similar to Jellyfin (Jellyfin is a fork of Emby), and it has almost the same funtionalities. The reason I'm not recommending it is because it has a paid plan and it's closed source. (I'm actually migrating to Jellyfin now!)
+- [Plex](https://plex.tv): I **do not** recommend Plex if you are setting your first media server, unless you really want to. It's alwasy online, super slow, it doesn't support Direct Stream and it's full of bloat. Also, it's the hardest to configure.
 
 Type one from the list and press [ENTER]. If you don't choose anything, the installer is going to default to Jellyfin.
