- Both the Plex Media Server and the Plex app on Windows or Mac must be signed in to a Plex account
Downloading
Initiate Download
To download an items chose Download from the context menu for an item. This is accessible when hovering on a poster, on the top right of pre play screens, and on the right side of rows for items in list view, such as music tracks in an album.
If downloading a whole TV show or Podcast you will have options to set subscription rules to limit the number of unplayed episodes downloaded and if they should be removed after being played.
Cancel or Delete a Download
If a download has not yet completed, it can be canceled from the same context menu as above. Otherwise,you can use the red X on the right side of an entry in the Downloads library to delete a finished (or in-progress) download.
Download Quality
Download Quality for Music and Video can be set in settings of the app. Quality cannot be changed on the fly as you are setting up a new download.

Downloads Library
All completed or in-progress downloads will appear in the Downloads library in the app. That can be accessed at any time from the left sidebar.
To play downloaded content, simply go to the Downloads library, find the entry, and play it. You can click on the artwork to immediately initiate playback or click on the title of the download to view the preplay screens and the other items in it like tracks, seasons and episodes.
Tip!: If you've downloaded an item, but you instead choose to play from your regular server library, playback will be streamed from the server. To play the downloaded content, be sure to access from the Downloads library.
You can sort downloads by Title, Date Downloaded, or Size on Disk.
