Hey Guys!

I always asked myself, how is it possible to stream something on my phone/PC on my PS4 if I don't have internet, like when you are moving, in a vehicle, in a chalet, in camping etc...

Well, I found how!

It's simply, installs the app Plex on your PS4, go to the PlayStation store to do that.

Do the same thing on Android or IOS, go to Google Play for Android and Apple Store if you are with Apple

Do the same thing on PC
www.Plex.com

Now when you stream, you've 3 options

Your music, videos and pictures are on a device, you stream them on another device like your PS4 and it encodes the video for that device (ps4) at the same time, it uses power, if you're an old PC or phone, he is going to struggle to do it in real time.
Your contents are on a device, you encode them for X device before you use them, you can choose which device, like your smart TV, PS4, Apple TV, Xbox etc... like that it's lighter for the device that stream, at least 5x
You pay the premium membership, it's on the cloud and encodes in the cloud, it's 6$ month, you've also other options that are nice.

You can also access plex from a browser, useful if your content is already there because you have the premium membership.

Optimized for Mobile – 4 Mbps 720p – Video is limited to 720p and 4 Mbps and audio streams will be preserved when possible or transcoded to AAC 2.0 if needed. SRT subtitle streams will be copied as sidecar files and other subtitle formats will be burned into the video if selected (prior to optimization).
