How to add Plex Libraries and synchronize your seedbox

In this article, we will show you in steps how to create your Plex libraries and how to synchronize content from your seedbox with the libraries you created.

First, you need to know what are the Plex libraries. Plex Libraries are the physical representations of media types that you have in the form of content on your seedbox. So libraries help you to divide your content into different groups so it will be much easier for you to navigate thru all of your files. Groups of libraries that you can create are: Movies, TV Shows, Music, Photos, and Home Videos.

So, to do this, you need to follow these steps:

1) Log in to your Plex account.

2) Go to the “Home” page and on the left side of the screen you will see the “Home menu”. Hover your mouse in “Libraries” section and “+” will appear there when you click on it, wizard for adding the library will auto-start.

7) Now your library is added, and your files will start synchronizing, this may take a few minutes, depending on how much data you have in the folder you chose as your library.

When synchronizing is complete, you will be able to access your files via Plex.

8) After that, whenever you add new files to your library, if synchronizing does not start automatically, you can initiate it manually by entering your library and, in the top right corner pressing the “Refresh library” button.
