Turn on Home Sharing in Mojave and earlier in iTunes: iTunes > Preferences > Sharing and check Share My Library on My Local Network. Guests have access as well, including to media you have in your libraries that’s not purchased from Apple. You can authorize up to five computers and access it from mobile, too. Separate from Family Sharing, Home Sharing isn’t primarily designed to let you share media with different people, but to share it among your own devices on a local network. Only purchased music and other media is shared. That includes omitting music that you’ve purchased or ripped and rely on iTunes Match to find high-quality copies of and sync across your own iCloud-linked devices. (Starting with the next release of Apple’s operating systems, including Big Sur, developers can also let Family Sharing include sharing in-app purchases and subscriptions.)įamily Sharing doesn’t include any items you’ve added to a media library, like iTunes, Music, or TV. This free option allows up to six people you claim in the same family to give each access to a common set of apps (if the app developer offers sharing), purchased media, and optionally to one iCloud storage subscription, even though the storage is still private to each individual. Once all libraries are listed, click Next, then Done to complete.Family Sharing.If a library type you want isn't initially set up, click Add Library, select the type, name it, click Next, click Add Folder, select the folder containing the media, click Add, then Add Library.
Manage the libraries to match the content you want to view, such as "Movie," "TV Show," and "Music.".The Basic Setup will ask you to set some essential details about the server, including giving it a memorable name and if you want to "access my media outside my home." Enter these, then click Next.It will first ask you to authenticate your Plex account. Plex will open a new browser tab on the first run and start its Basic Setup Wizard.If you haven't moved it to the Applications folder, it will offer to move itself for you. Extract the archive, and place Plex Media Server in your Applications folder.
