FAQ
Do I need Plex Pass?
No. ZiRocks works great with the free Plex account. Plex Pass adds extras like hardware transcoding on some GPUs and mobile sync.
How do I add storage?
Plug in a USB hard drive or connect a network share (SMB/NFS). The dashboard guides you through adding libraries.
Can I migrate an existing Plex library?
Yes. Copy your media to the new storage and point Plex libraries to the same folder names; Plex will match everything automatically.
