Cool! Could you direct me to this five minute guide to setting up a Plex server? Also for these you'd need another computer that's always on, right? If it's off, you wouldn't be able to access the server? Our family only uses laptops right now so that would be an issue.

    I can write the 5 minute guide out for you in this comment. Im assuming windows. And yeah the machine has to be on. Although you could just run it off your main machine, especially if its just audiobooks.

    Make a plex account Download and run the latest version of PMS (plex media server) and follow the gui to create your media folders

    Now if you only want to access the media within your home, you're done. Grab the apps for each device and be on your way. If you want to access out of your home theres one more step. Port forwarding. Thats done within your router and is different for each one but basically boils down to this.

    Find setting. Create port forward entry for whichever ip is hosting plex. Port forward 32400 on tcp/udp Done.

    Im explaining it in short bullet point lines because it should be that easy.
