Top 5 Plugins to Install in Your Plex Server
- Tautulli: We all know, Plex server is known for streaming videos online and creating your own media library. With this essential add-on Tautulli, it has made Plex services even better than before.The role of Tautulli is to bring out the entire statistics of the Plex media server.

- Sub-Zero: The sub-Zero tool is meant for subtitles. Generally, the Plex server can manage subtitles in a native format. However, there are certain restrictions for media content.
Using this native format, you can only access a few subtitle libraries. And not just that, with the tool you are not allowed to add subtitles to existing media.

This even does intense research on your media files and find out the files where the subtitles are missing. Means, you don’t need to search manually for this again.

Due to the integration of so many tools in one module, “Web Tools” have turned out to be the most friendly tool for Plex users. - Plex-Sync: The role of Plex Sync is it automatically synchronizes the watched status for your separate Plex servers. For example, you have a server in your office and you have the same in your home as well. The tool will synchronize all your servers running in different locations.Even if you have different users for different servers, the tool sync between them, ensuring that the users won’t find any difficulty once they log in next time.
