Plex Requirements

Plex works comes in two major parts, the server and the apps. Both are required, but it's the server that does most of the work, including transcoding and organizing (more on this in a bit). This creates a few requirements to get the most out of Plex. You will need:

A powered computer connected to the Internet: The operating system isn't important as long as you download the right version of Plex for it.

A fast CPU: How fast? That depends on what you use Plex for. Lots of transcoding or lots of apps in service will create slowdowns, skips, and other streaming problems if your CPU is too weak to handle it. You can take a look at several popular configurations and the requirements here.
A good network: Plex recommends an ADSL/Cable/Wi-Fi connection, with a Wi-Fi network that's based on either 802.11n or 802.11ac.

The right devices: Plex can stream to nearly anything, so this shouldn't be a problem. Notable supported devices include Windows, Xbox (360 and One) PlayStation (3 and 4), Android, iOS, Roku, Apple TV, Ouya, Linux devices, FreeBSD devices, and Fire TV.
What media formats are supported by Plex?

1. Direct Play Video Support 

Native video support is typically (but not always) limited to the MP4 container, H.264 video encoding, and AAC audio. Content that is not natively supported will automatically be Direct Streamed or transcoded as needed by the Plex Media Server.

Content matching the following can usually be Direct Played:
Container: MP4
Resolution: 1920x1080 or smaller
Video Encoding: H.264 (level 4.0 or lower)
Video Framerate: 30fps
Video Bit Depth: 8
Audio Encoding: AAC
Other content will usually need to be either Direct Streamed or transcoded. Enabling subtitles of any type will require them to be transcoded (burned) into the video stream.

Unsupported audio formats in video will have the audio automatically transcoded to either AAC or AC3 (Dolby Digital) as appropriate by the Plex Media Server in order to preserve any surround sound audio channels.

2. 4K (UHD) Direct Play Video Support 

Some 4K (ultra high definition) devices are recognized by the Plex app. We're working to bring 4K playback support to other devices, too. 4K/UHD content matching the following will Direct Play on supported devices:

Container: MP4
Resolution: 3840x2160 or smaller
Video Encoding: HEVC (H.265)
Video Frame Rate: 30fps
Video Bit Depth: 8
4K content not matching the above properties will be transcoded to 1080p. Transcoding 4K content is a very intensive process and will require a powerful computer running Plex Media Server.

3. Direct Play Music Support 
The following audio formats are usually supported for music playback:

MP3 M4A

Tip: Other audio formats such as FLAC or ALAC will be transcoded by your Plex Media Server to be compatible.

4. Video Playback Tips 

Keep these tips in mind to help ensure the best experience.
Higher streaming quality values have a better chance to allow the content to be Direct Streamed or Direct Played.

Enabling multi-channel audio in the global settings menu adds support for the associated audio codec during Direct Play and transcoding.

Setting a streaming quality value lower than the content's bitrate will cause the video to be transcoded. Most devices can handle streams with peak bitrates < 20Mbps. Some devices can handle higher quality transcodes or remuxes.

Changing the Maximum H.264 Level global setting can allow many files to Direct Stream or Direct Play. Videos use the H.264 Level to define a maximum bitrate for the video as well as decoding parameters.

A H.264 level below that of the source video will force the video to transcode.

A H.264 level slightly higher than the recommended is usually safe.

Selecting the "None" value may be safe based on you media.

Changing the H.264 Level above the device's recommended value could possibly result in severe playback stability issues or device instability. Please exercise caution when adjusting this setting.
