What is Stump Server?

A personal media server with thousands of movies, TV shows, stand-up specials, concerts, and more. Think of it like Netflix, but better.

Concerts

You'll use an app called Plex to watch everything — on your phone, computer, or TV. It's free (or a one-time $5 on mobile).

Important

The Rules

Three things to keep in mind so the server stays fast for everyone.

No browser streaming
Browsers cause "transcoding" which slows the server down. Always use the Plex app instead.
Avoid your TV's built-in Plex app
Smart TV apps also cause transcoding. Use a streaming device instead (next step).
Always set quality to Original/Maximum
After you get access, the setup guide will walk you through this. It takes 30 seconds.

Don't worry — the setup guide after you get access walks you through all of this step by step.
