  • Completely new to this...please go easy. I want to be able to play my music and movie collection throughout my home and have a few questions to get me going.
    Plex doesn't support disc image formats like ISO, so you would have to extract the video itself before Plex could read them (e.g. With MakeMKV). Source: about 1 year ago
