Plex Media Player is a new streaming system that allows us to connect to our collection of videos, music and photos from any of our devices, having support for Mac or PCs.
The facilities that the use of this application promises are impressive, as its incredible software architecture is easily accessible, fast and powerful, allowing us to stay connected with all our multimedia information from any device and even add Netflix or any other streaming platform via plex.
Although it may be a fairly intuitive and comfortable tool to use, there are certain settings that may be of considerable interest for our use, such is the case of adjust the window scale of the application, which by default will be at 200%, an aspect that can be quite uncomfortable when using it.
The problem with this option arises because, in the application settings option we do not have a section to change the scale, so users must apply a manual method that we will be describing throughout this article.
Plex is an excellent and quite good tool, which has compatibility with any multimedia format, we can use it on any device and it is designed for the best user experience.
However, to ensure that this is at its maximum performance and we are able to take advantage of all the functions that are available to us we must take into account several conditions.
In principle, we will need to have a powerful NAS server that can transcode and take advantage of all the functionalities of the application. In addition, to access certain special functions of the application we will need to have a premium account, In addition to the fact that for iOS users, several functions are paid.
We also have to remember that this adjustment method for the screen scale is intended exclusively for your computer version, more specifically to the one that runs on the Windows 10 operating system.
Therefore, for any other configuration problem that may exist, you can consult with the page of Plex technical support.
How can we adjust the scale of the plexus?
Now, if we want to scale the screen of the Plex application in Windows 10, in principle we will have to right click on the application icon (whether it is on the desktop or in the taskbar), then click on properties and open the following window.
Once the properties menu is displayed, we will go to the direct access tab, in which a series of boxes will appear and we will look for the one that is labeled as Destination.
We are located within the destination box and we will place the cursor at the end of the text that appears in the box, more specifically after the quotation marks, in which we will press the space bar and proceed to paste the following text:
–scale-factor = 1
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>
Once this is done, we will have to click Apply So that the changes we have made are saved correctly, we will then proceed to exit the properties menu and open the Plex application again.
As we can see, the scale has been reduced from 200% to 100%, which it will be more comfortable for those who have high resolution screens.
In the event that we are not satisfied with this solution, we can modify it to our liking, making a small change in the suggested text, where we can replace 1 with 1.5, which meant changing the resolution from 100% to 150%.
We can also make changes with resolutions less than 1, but it must be taken into account that these tend to generate graphical errors in the application so it is better to make changes with values greater than 1 or 100%.
Post-Modification Care for Inlays in the Plexus
The reason why the scaling configuration option is not found within the application, is because altering it beyond the default value It may cause the application to malfunction.
Therefore, in case of any problem with the service, it is advisable to access the properties window again and delete the configuration text and clear the Plex cache on our computer.
